how this will affect the culture of both areas. I know throughout history that small gap of water served as enough of a barrier to make sicily a distinct separate culture, is this bridge an end to that? or is this already the case due to other transportation?
once again, anti-capitalism, anti-capitalism, anti-capitalism.
Terrible how these big evil greedy companies are just screwing us in yet another way.
An alternative way of looking at this is that SOMEBODY needs to provide this service and I dont think mom n' pop ISP has the capacity to handle this. I don't think anyone is planning on providing the service for free as most slashdotters think it should be. Its not a 'right' if other people have to pay for it. Also, I think the term monopoly is bandied about far to much these days: Now, eight cable companies will decide what the public will be offered Doesnt sound like a monopoly to me!
so the parent says the government runs american media and he gets modded up. I say that no the government does not and get modded down. Interesting mindset here at slashdot.
I blame the UN for a lot, but not this one... also, look it up, jews were there before WWII (and therefore they were there before the UN ever was) I do think that 'I blame the united nations' makes a nice sig though
yeah? what about the USS Cole? or yeah what was that... world trade centers? pentagon? are these all media hype also? I dont think most muslims hate us and I know the media does not portray it that way. I DO think most muslim led COUNTRIES hate us and that is why they fund suicide bombings and such. I couldn't agree more that the american media sucks, but you cant say that it is goverment controlled
what? the government does not control the media at all, dumbass. America is the only country that seems to have this right.
Most people would think that the terrorist attacks were in fact evil and the media is reflecting that. Most people I talk to say we should nuke afganistan anyways, and the media also reflects that sentiment. You must not be from the US, I cant imagine anyone from here would make such an ignorant post.
According to many posts, if I configure my NT box correctly it is also unbreakable... if it took linux this long to make an unbreakable box, then I guess NT is better, right? Im just kidding mod me down anyways
My girlfriend uses this stupid freemail at www.iwon.com. One day, she was unable to log into it as it said her session was expired (this is with IE). I cleared the cache, deleted cookies, tried again, same thing. I then installed opera and had her try again with opera. Same thing, said her session had expired - please re-login. So then I install netscape and she is able to get into her mail with that. This would tell me that opera and IE have to be sharing some code somewhere.... any ideas?
Right, but as I cannot choose to use the services of any other company for my local phone/dsl... it might not be a monopoly but I have no other options whatsoever and I am sure thats got to be a legal bad thing of some kind.
I noticed you did not mention the type of business you are in. I would not and will not jump to the conclusion that you are one of the evil spammers... but you could see how one could reach that conclusion, no? What does your company do?
I can certainly make the argument that spammers waste people's time in a BIG way, I don't know if spam can damage equipment but all the extra traffic isn't helping anything. According to you, this pretty much constitutes a violation of rights (I dont know how you came up with that one), so I think spammers need to pay the price Even if you are an evil spammer, I don't think its ethically wrong (if you can make a legal buck, more power to you), but you can't expect the world to sit back and take it either. Becaust they (we) wont.
howbout RealLife? You go outside and interact with other people. Great graphics, although it is rather difficult to advance in levels. Oh, and no starting over.
SQLSnake story that just got posted? Passwords suck because people are lazy, with all the stuff they(end users) already have to remember... pin numbers, telephone numbers, ssn, I think their (end users) small brains are full and cant remember one more pwd. I know of plenty of my customers that have really, really easy passwords.
Probably wouldn't if you both were inside the US. If one of you was in a different country, esp eastern europe, middle east, or east africa, I think they would be there within a few days...
is about 2 years behind everyone else... I am just worried they bought napster in order to patent some of the involved technologies. They do have the money to pay the lawyers to try to do that.

from the article Now, eight cable companies will decide what the public will be offered
Thats 7 too many companies for a monopoly! People say monopoly way too much.

Not knowing a whole lot about it, it seems that my opera has (speedwise) outperformed both netscape and ie by quite a good margin
thats ruby ridge, not ruby ranch. I have no idea if they are the same or not.

one could argue the plight of the palistinians is the fault of arafat as well as the surrounding arab nations as much as anything israel has done.

Is this in any way related to the evil phone company (errr... monopoly) here in America that is called Qwest?

We can strip mine the other planets later

I find the Katz article makes sense. I agree with John Katz. I never imagined that I would ever type the preceeding sentance.
