I think you got ripped off. I've got the same deal from Sprint Broadband and I pay $40/month. I've seen transfer rates as high as 380kbps to my desktop.
Private conversations are exempt from monitoring becuase they are now. The article talks about expanding the powers of monitioring to include mail and telephone, under certains specific conditions. Since it makes no change to private conversations they'll continue to be private and illegal to monitor.
Seriously, guys, do you ever read past the headline? They story clearly states that detainees must be informed of the monitoring. And, the monitoring only extends to telephone and mail; private meetings are undoubtably private.
I don't think this in any way violates right to counsel.

This is exactly the type of thing widespread adoption of cryptography would prevent. Imagine if you could isolate content in a web page and have the author or distributor digitally sign that. Then, browsers could automatically verify the signature upon page view. In fact, you could use the existing server certificate stuff build into https. You'd know instantly if what you're seeing is what the author intended.
See? Cryptography isn't just for keeping secrets from people. It actually helps the common person determine what's real and what's hacked.
Now, if we could just convince the media that there are legitimate uses of cryptograph. They seem to only think it can be used for eeeevil by eeeevil h4k0rz.
Consider doing this analysis for a company that already owns a 390. How appealing would it be to keep your existing hardware and just switch the OS and apps? It'd be easier and more cost effective than buying a whole bunch of new servers and hiring new people. It's this customer that IBM should be targeting.
If Gator has the technology to replace ads with their own, how about replace them with nothing? I'd certainly pay a few bucks a month to have all ads replaced with something non-intrusive. They could replace them with landscapes or pictures of my own choosing. Or, better yet, transparent gifs. The substitution wouldn't ruin the overall presentation of the page, and you wouldn't have those big white gifs you get when using proxy ad filters.
If you want to take it to the next step, why don't they replace ads with some gratuitous porn. I'm sure people would pay for that, too.
Somehow figure out how to read the content that I "purchased"? Hmmm. Does that mean that I should go back to the Hertz lot, find the car that I rented, then "somehow" find a way to drive it for a few more days?
The Sixth Amendment of the US Constitution provides the right to be confronted with the witnesses against you in a criminal prosecution. Who is the witness in these cases? A GPS receiver? A red light camera? Neither of these "witnesses" qualify; they're only evidence. Since no one witnessed the crime, it essentially didn't occur. (Remember, we're assumed innocent until proven guilty... but that's changing.)
I personally know of cases in Oregon and California where the defendant argued their 6th Amendment right and were found not guilty.
Protect your constitutional rights or they will be infringed!
Sure, you can bring the costs down, if you allow more risk. Right now, after the recent Better, Faster, Cheaper problems, NASA takes very little risk. To be sure, after all the bad publicity they recieved after the Challenger launch, they're willing to spend more money to avoid damagning their image... and killing people.
Once we start sacrificing safety, things will get cheaper. All regulated US transportation industries are much safter than those that are not. Compare airplanes and trains to cars, or even to semis. But, if space has a fatality rate close to the 41,800 per year in the US (1.6 per 100 million vehicle miles), I don't think many people would want to go.
What's brilliant is that this is probably legal! Timeshifting has been ruled a fair use for recording equipment.
I'll pay money to the first person who can stream a recorded show off a PVR, over the Internet. From home to work would be a nice demo. How often have you wanted to do that?
One of the major problems I encountered with recordable DVDs was the extremely long write time. The ones that I've used are 1x or 2x, which means an hour or two or recording. This reminds me of 96 or so when the speedy 1x CD-Rs were coming on the market. I think one of the reasons for slow initial adoption there was the 1+ hour write time.
Until DVDs can be spun in under 30 minutes, I see them only useful for backups, but tape is better, cheaper, and more reliable for that anyway.
This really isn't any different than cranking your monitor's brightness or upping the gamma value. They're both less-than-honest ways of doing things, but who ever said online games required honesty? Is it cheating to use a low color depth to get a faster framerate? How about a faster cpu? Or super trick mouse?
If you want a fair fight, join a clan or play against your friends. Or join a server which bans cheats. Or, just get better than everyone else. The skilled players will always rise to the top, regardless of whatever visual or input assistance other players have.
Cool hack, but what's the framerate

I don't have Quake, and I didn't see any benchmarks for PanQuake on the site. I did see a link to Fisheye Quake, also written van Oortmerssen. Its faq says "so on this p200 I get 10fps", an unplayable framerate as far as first person shooters go. Yeah, a Pentium 200 is slow, but can PanQuake get 200+ fps, off a high-end machine, like a Athlon 1.4 GHz with a GeForce 2, like other versions of Quake?
Does anyone have benchmarks for PanQuake? Post them.
As usual, the US lags behind Japan in CE availability. Dynamism.com is a pretty good company specializing in importing Japanese models and providing support to US consumers. Check out some of their offerings:

I belive MS has had this functionality since Windows 95, but I can only vouch for Windows 2000. In any file open dialog, you have standard right mouse menu. On this menu, you can delete, rename, or send the file wherever you like.
Why must everyone think it's either the libertine or 1984? Why can't the Internet as we currently know it coexist with a licensed, author-takes-ownership one? We've got a ton of TLAs out there, so why not take one like.reg and allow only regulated, licensed content to be delivered. If you want to be on the licensed Internet, then great, abide by some set of rules. If not, then have at.com.
Separate standards for the same medium is not without precedence. Take for example the latitude given to broadcast television in "late night" versus "prime time" scheduling. NYPD Blue has been showing tits and ass for a while now, something completely inappropriate for Saturday morning or even ABC's TGIF. This is a good use of limited resources, and shows good compromise between protecting children and decency and preserving First amendment rights.
Metcalfe predicted the eminent collapse back in 1996, but it never happened. Smart people invented CIDR and other routing tricks to avoid the problem. I'm sure we'll find a way around this one... and if not, switch to IPv6.

Maybe that's becuase they charged only $40/month and not $340.
