Gubbmint moderation is almost never the answer, least of all in this case. Go ahead and fine Worldcom, but give that money to the people who lost it, no one else.
For example, I'm stuck with Comcast. There may be 7 other cable companies, but I do not have a choice.
I'm not spending ~ 85$ a month to get a DSL simply because I don't have a landline. (Well, that would only be a possiblity if DSL was available in my area....)
Yippee, now it'll be even more illegal for me to download new Britney Spears songs, as I'll have to steal bandwidth to do it! Yay! (I have comcast "high speed internet access".. capped at 150k/down 5k/up.. Not to mention getting beaten, raped, and tortured by the "Customer Service" department..) No way I'm going to pay extra for my "30%" of the download bandwidth..
One or two articles is amusing; only joking articles all day, and it's annoying.
I _was_ one of the few who subscribed. However, you still get ads even when you subscribe. (Not the page limit setting; the ads that appear in articles.)
MY GOD MAN! Call a frigging lawyer to explain to them that they have *no* rights to your IP.
That, and never let these imcompetent boobs beta test for you again. It's a *privelge* not a right...
Actually, you *can* allocate space for a file without actually writing to the file, assuming you know enough about the underlying kernel and the actual filesystem itself. Assuming, also, that you have low level access to the hardware (which IMHO isn't likely in this case).
The point, I suppose, is that it *can* be done, if you know what you're doing.
You were saying something about a line of "complete BS"? The post *was* informative.
CHURCH?!
When are 'they' going to outlaw relegious pyschopaths like this fellow?
Is there so much difference between him and the bum, ranting in the streets about his Indian Chief God?
Hahahahaha! The thought of a loser like you hiring someone?
Non become non-AC stat and show your true self, so we may laugh at your blatant stupidity.

Eight cable companies, but only one in your area.

So, if you model of car has a tendency to crash to explode into flames without any particular reason, you should drive more carefully?
SprintPCS provides me a (mynumber)@messaging.sprintpcs.com email address, to which all emails get sent to the phone as a text message.
No spam yet (had it for 6 months). I pay 10$/month, I think, for 400 messages? (not sure, would have to check.)
It was a fucking joke.
Sheesh.
Myself, I use the Toshiba "Pocket PC" e310; very thin, with only an SD slot. :-) (Which is usually connected via my convertor to a 512 mb CF card.)
What about sucking down the latest RedHat? 3 ISO images.. 1,920 mbs..
1920 / 4 = 480 songs.
(Where 4 is the average number of megabytes of an Mp3..)
Oh, and by the way.. IT DOES NOT COST COMCAST MORE MONEY IF I USE MY FULL CAPPED (150k/downstream) BANDWIDTH.
If it really did, they would have accepted my offer to pay more an uncapped connection...

What is this world coming to?
"next to first post"..
See? told you so.
Microsofts reaction to OSS reminds me of a small, bratty child that wants all or none.
You were _not_ addicted. Did you shake when you didn't play the game? Did you get physically ill?
Sometimes I wanna make people that say this kind of crap try heroin. Then tell me about your gaming "addiction."

That was the straw, CmdrTaco. I quit.
Heh, nice attempt to cover your idiocy in self delusion.
Well, duh, of course spam should be punishable by death! :)
Time to leave the country when the SSSCA passes.
Sigh.
Because of this article alone, I've come to thinking that Bill Joy is a blithering idiot..
Go figure..
It's only 10 MEGABYTEs of storage. Idiot marketing ploy, IMO.

They have a nice little blurb on the poll site now, saying that MS rigged it. :-)
Cute, eh?

hehehehehehehehe.. uhhh.. nah, not point in proclaiming the obvious.. hell, not even a point to this post! (damn auto-sumbit junk... lol)
