That i will do my best to avoid. Anytime i get unwelcome ads, i refuse to do business with those companies again and take my money to their competition.
I have a contract on a new phone, but id still like to unlock my old phone, 'just because its mine' ( and the subsidy has long since been paid off ). Wonder if they will do it. ( 3GS )
You can only slow it down as this train is being driven by the federal government with virtually unlimited power, money, and time.. All this stuff ( and more ) will eventually pass and our digital freedom goes out the door.
people occasionally park in front of my house to use the network
Or they are casing the house, as since you are 'above' the average end user out there they know you have some electronics in there they might want to steal..
And especially don't forget Motorola, or IBM, Dec, Sun, RCA, Intersil, TI, MIPS, etc etc... Even within the Intel camp id hope they branch into other architectures other than ix86, like ix432 and960, for example.
you're going to complain about killing off the good bacteria on your skin then rail about anti-bacterial soap and hand sanitizer, their daily use does far more damage to the good bacteria on your skin than any $100+ device used in an emergency will ever do
Personally, i don't use either, as they are bad.
However, i do agree, in cases where your skin is open, you do want to stop bad bacteria from entering and its an acceptable risk to burn off some good in order to stop the bad. ( be it a simple paper cut, sever cat scratch or being run over by a truck and your arm is danging..)
Is that we are slowly heading back to this direction where you get a limited amount of bandwidth to the point you are afraid to even read mail, and nearly all your content comes from directly your provider.
if anyone thought this was dead, they are sadly mistaken.
These groups wont stop until yo cant even *think* about content without being jailed, and get 100% of your income funneled to them automatically by the government as a 'fee' for breathing.
In the future they wont even be a foot note, just a bunch of spoiled brats with no goals or directions running around creating havoc and tearing stuff up.
They*could* have accomplished something if they had actual goals, but in the end it was just a short lived distraction from other more pressing matters.
I think its still a big deal, for many enterprise customers that need to run Linux VM's and dont want to ( or cant ) spend the money on the ( better ) VMware solution.

More like our privacy..

A silver lining, until it kills someone.
That was my thought. They are comparing ( sorry about this ) apples to oranges..

Just a matter of time. Enjoy it while it lasts.

They have to pay the bills somehow. A bigger deal would be if they were removing others ads..
Don't like ads, don't use their service or block them.
Same problem here.. cant see it..

Not all BBSs were free.
I remember pre 300. Also, I didn't upgrade just because the other side did. I upgraded when *I* was ready ( or they stopped supporting me. ).

VNC or RDP does not replace the network transparency of X. it would just be a terrible kludge to get around lost core functionality.
Its more than more complex, its makes the entire thing totally useless and a REAL bad idea.
Great if they want to clean things up, but to go a completely different direction at this stage of the game is ludicrous.
X works. Don't break it.
That isn't the term i would use.
Money.
While wifi might have been "invented" there, i see 2 problems:
1 - Prior art of wireless communication existed long before in the form of packet radio.
2 - Things of this nature that effects all of humanity should not be allowed to be held hostage like this.
Oh, and #3, patent trolls taht wait until after a tech has widespread use, should be told to F-off.

Are wrong unless you are buying something.
Like the 'war on terror' so they can fly around and watch our back yards for months on end?
Besides, don't we have satellites that can do a better job at this point anyway?
I thought that nuclear powered airships were declared illegal by the UN or something. Space, yes, but not air..
True, but the administration is doing it at a much larger scale, and will be part of future history books.
