Internet connection cost me $50/month, and my cellular service cost me $60/month. Bottom line, being always on is like having a ball-and-chain on 24/7 and I'm being forced to pay for it.
Yes, this is really a story that refuses to go away. At first I bought the whole story about this rogue flight, but upon closer inspection it appears that the US Government was involved in this 911 incident in a rather deceptive manner.
You said 80k? Well, I have been studying (and paying tuition) my entire life and have been teaching for almost twenty years in a so-called demand subject (mathematics). Right now I'm barely clearing 50k. Oh, and I'm one of the better paid teachers at my school, there are other teachers getting paid an adjunct's wage (500 per credit hour) with no benefits.
Please tell me where someone would be willing to pay me 80k?
This is really not a matter of public opinion, we have laws that are solely there to protect us from the mob. It really doesn't matter what the mob thinks, we have a right to be left alone.
Now, if you want to get "completely up-in-arms" over our the oppressive government you'll just have to become a freedom fighter, oh I forgot, then you'd become a terrorists. Sorry, just submit and continue to fork over half of your labor (taxes) to our friends protecting us (government) from people like you.
If you want to stop this nonsense you'll have to upset the government's revenue stream. The only way to do that is to get them out of the currency and tax business. Good luck.
You said: "Small government conservatism is personified by Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, and is also represented by libertarians. However, there are other types of conservatives."
You should listen to Norm Chomsky on this, he clearly states that Reagan, et. al., were big government's best friend.
I'm not sure why people believe Reagan was a good president --- he was absolutely NO LIBERTARIAN, in fact he eroded personal liberties as he expanded Federal and State governments. The growth was unprecedented and he increased the tax burden of the average American many fold.
In a sense, you, like most Americans have been royally hoodwinked.
Piss while standing and the probability for urine to splash beyond the bowl is vastly greater. Just take a look at any public restroom where people tend not to sit and you will see urine almost everywhere.
When at home, everyone should sit when going to the bathroom. It's plain filthy to stand. I actually have a sign in my bathroom (bought it in Berlin) that sternly warns against standing. Yes, I am a man, and you'd better politely smile if you question that.
As we all probably know, it's letting people vote that is the main reason why we have such an out of control government. I often joke that if I were elected the first thing I'd do is fire everyone, then the second act would be to cancel all elections for public office. In fact, governments are the single biggest threat to humanity's survival and it is in everyone's interest to scale back the US government a billion fold.
I guess I am really clueless, but don't banks use a security certificate so that a user like myself won't be misled into thinking that a spoofed site is really the bank? For example, I am a customer of bankX.com and I let my browser verify the site, if it's the right site I get the right response, if it's the wrong site I don't get the proper response.
I do this with my machine at work too, I use ssh with a public/private key set-up. If someone highjacks my machine I will be informed when I log on --- actually happened on to me on a university managed UNIX machine.
Yes, I'm confused too. However, it stands to reason that we humans are doing some really bad things to the earth, and predicting outcomes resulting from our behavior may be beyond our intellectual reach.
Yes, I actually bought a PowerBook 100 from J&R in NYC. The best part was that it was under $1000 and typical Wintel crap at that time was selling much, much higher. I'd always found it amazing that the Wintel crowd would pay so much for technology that was clearly inferior. Now things have changed, but Wintel still lags behind. I'd still be using it, but Apple stopped making batteries and third party batteries weren't very good. Anyway, I broke down in 2000 and bought an iBook and it's still running like new, but it looks rather dated. The battery has another year to go, at least, and that's when I'll start to think about a new Apple portable.

No, I don't agree, and I think the elevator will be going down, especially as artist start to take control of their distribution channel. Let's say the price becomes so low that even pirates will pay.
Yes, I agree, but why do so many simple application installs ask for a admin password?
So far inserting a CD has not asked me for a password, but that day may come and I'm afraid most Mac users, at least the ones who install software, will think nothing of typing in a password.
Apple needs to be proactive and start developing a utility that checks a user's drive for malware.

Yes, I too have a five-year plus iBook that is still amazingly agile, and it's running the latest Mac OS X. The only bad thing about my iBook is the measly 10 MB HD, which was huge when I first bought it (Mac OS 9 days). I'll buy a new machine in a couple of years, and I can only hope that Mac OS X continues to hold the lead.
The British and American authorities know how to get information out of an alleged terrorists, just beat and humiliate it out of them. In fact, if 256-bit triple-DES or similar techniques are used to encrypt a terrorists files, then they are good as guilty, and the powers-that-be have no choice but to beat and humiliate the password out of the terrorist's head.
In fact, I as an American citizen, believe we should be beating and humiliating Rove and Libby right now for their alleged acts of treason. Damn, I'd even pay for their flights to some foreign country, and even though I am inexperienced (much like the junior level GIs in Iraq left with similar duties) I think I'd like to give US style interrogation a try. Please Mr. President, let me serve this nation!
Again, McDonald has an excellent point. However, it looks like the state has successfully educated its minions to believe they cannot survive without being taxed and told what to do. I for one would prefer to live in a community with people who think and act like McDonald. Any ideas?

You said, "Why is it the government can make pretty much . . ."
Damn, you give they have of your labor and you expect to be treated with respect?
Americans need to wake up and realize that the growth of governments is the single biggest threat facing our survival. Need I go on . . .
