But if its government funded and tied to the GPL, i would think they would be bound to the requirement to give us a copy if we go thru the proper channels. ( like most other government funded software.. and all GPL code. )
That was solved many many years ago by not using touch senstive 'mats'. Instead you use active 'pointers'.
Of course if you lose your pointer you are totally screwed, but at least scratches in the surface dont hurt you and you can use much stronger materials. They are also more expensive..
Seriously, ou are right, the FCC isnt going to give up control of anything, as there is far too much $ to be made. Besides, when does a government give up control? ( unless of course its during a revolution )
However, id do think the workstation edition will start getting things more useful as a 'desktop', such as accelerated graphics. While the server editions wont ever have that.. Different market.
I live and die by GSX, does this mean they will stop development of new versions, Leaving just Workstaion ( wont do the job for me ) and ESX ( too expensive to justify )?
But with its total degeration into commercialism, spam, viruses, scams, porn... Will anyone miss it?
Why do you think in the 80s when you had expensive time lmited access things never really took off? When the big players went to unlminted useage is when things 'started to happen'..
Lets kill the golden goose before it gets out of hand i guess. No great loss.

I bet it would fit just fine.
But a breakable glass case? While it looks cool, no thanks...

Considering that i was joking.. i think a +4 funny is good :)
So you just have a jammer in the car before you commit a crime. Problem solved.
Its already broke.
If everyone has a tag, then you can just track people directly. Even when they are on foot.
Wouldnt we be so much safer if the government knew where everyone was , at all times?
Taken far enough, every action or even thought, might be relevant if you happen to commit a crime someday. So everything must be tracked.
Predict ( and prevent ) your future crime due to your behavior and thoughts today....
Of course not, hes above that sort of thing. Hes pure, and would never even think of taking advantage of anyone else.
Things were supposed to be shared. That was the ENTIRE point of the club.. Remember it was a hobby club, not a business..
Gates came in and screwed it all up for the rest of us.
Yes, its a fundamental right, and Gates should have been kicked out of the HCC instead for such talk.
The world would be much better off today.
Around here? No, grammar or typo check, isnt worth the effort.
No one around here is worth my extra time to pay attention.
Was it a dud beacuse it was nothing to worry about in the first place and the hype was overrated?
or was it a dud beacuse of all the hype and people patched beforehand?
isnt there more important things in this world to worry about?
Do you believe in faries too?

But it only would take one rogue router/DNS in the system to blow it all to hell.
It may do more then harm them, in time it may elminate them totally.
Runs fine on XP and 2000 pro.

All they have to do is forbid encrption that they dont have the key too.
Who owns the lines? They owner has the 'right' to do whatever they want with it..
With as much revenue they will lose forever if they blacklist an isp.. doubt they would have the balls to do it.
Even if they get people to swtich, the dollars lost during the 'blackout' could really hurt for a long time..
That the internet dies.
