There some places were a regulated monopoly is a good thing.
DWP. Phones etc.
But when it comes to News/Entertanement.
There is no real benift of a monopoly.
Remember these are ower air waves.
They belong to us.
The whole point of these laws is to prevent one entity from taking up too much bandwidth.
The one thing holding me back from being a republican.
Is there complete disregard for check and balances like this.
Aside from that I like guns, low taxes etc.
Yes the republicans paved the way for clear channel But the Librals gave us the DMCA.
Well sure you or I would do that. But we are not big wig corp types (we know where the any key is). On paper there not forcing you to do any thing you chose to contribute and they chose (later) to reward you for your patriotism.
Probably have a bigger audience nowadays, though ironically fewer people probably have access to a BASIC compiler now than back then (when almost every home computer came bundled with it). But including a CD-ROM with Perl wouldn't be too hard. Actually be a better language to use, give kids some knowledge of non-linear programming without making them worry about all those variable declarations or header files.

I know what you mean I cut my teal on QBASIC and dos 5/win3.1.
Then Win98 came (still had my good oll 486/sx 20).
This cool guy (geek cool) Showed me *nix and bash
So I grabed a linux distro redhat 5 (just out of date @ the time)
I was amazed at how the command line didn't have to suck
I never used a wintell box since
My SusE box has 'bwbasic' mabey you have one to

Oh mod gods please dont troll me It's only my second post

FLASHBACK! Alright, this is a geek crowd, anyone remember that series of books where you the narrative was interrupted at parts, and you had to type in a program? Well, you didn't have to, but when the character in the book (who was actually supposed to be you) did, they gave you the source code to type in along with them.
Wow that sound way too cool...
I am the avarage teen punk geek.
So this is way before my time.
Do you have the Title/Author or
better yet ISBNS?

They hired me and I'm just a 17 year old punk

On the amazon zshops I'm tempted but then isn't
amazon the devil?

Someone should write these in perl.
I'd buy that.
