>>>As it is, I bet a lot of people try to type www.blue.aero.com because.com is so drummed into their heads.
But why wouldn't you just put a jobs, info and etc link on the main menu of your.com website?
I don't think this is doing us any good. The only person who benifits is the guy selling the newly created domains. Now, when I want to register a domain I have to register 20 of them at 20x the price just to keep the a-holes out of my domain. www.vettemph.* (doesn't actually exsist)
There should only be a need for registering 1 TLD for the whole set. For instance, if i did register www.vettemph.com, I should only have to register as vettmph.TLD and automatically get all the com info travel doctor. I should have to use each TLD apropriately but I shouldn't have to spend extra just to block the squatters. I should automatically have obtained *.*.vettemph.*.*
>>So why, WHY are we launching people into space with a program older than I am?
Because it is all that we have and it's better than what "they" have. As long as week keep sending this piece of crap into space we maintain the Superpower status state of mind. It's all part of the mindfuc.... psychology of dominance. Notice how rockets are shaped like penises? It's all about wagging your shaft around and beating on your chest. We can't let the third world countries realize that we are slipping.

It has been proven in the court of law that microsoft is not part of our market economy but a proven monopoly. They have done MANY things to stifle YOUR "Market Economy". The lost jobs are the effect of the returning market that was illegally monopolized buy an evil entity. People will loose jobs as a result of bill gates actions. People will gain jobs when money is invested in capitol expenditures instead of a licensing scheme. You appear to be protecting microsoft the way local shops used to be pretected by the mob. You cannot force people to buy your product just because you would be poor otherwise.
The company I work for has over 40 SUSE servers being maintained locally in Pennsylvania and New Jersey by college educated professionals. Money in thier pocket.
Our economy will stay stronger when You, I and our employers are buying real goods with the funding available instead of just keeping microsoft alive because microsoft needs to pay all thier illegitimate dependants.
I would (and do) pay for linux sooner than I would use M$ for free. Why is the world full of such fools. The high price does not make it better. That may work for houses and cars, not software.
I have access to "free" windows. I just don't like the stuff. Most of my co-workers have the "free" version. I l;augh at them. I laugh at there viruses and crashes.
1) DSL is required if you have a porn addiction or always download new Linux CD's. If your just trying to be educated and connected, a text based (or low graphics/low ADs) internet goes a long way.
2) 15 hours for a small fee (additional time cost extra?). I don't think they will turn off your modem after 15 hrs. What kind of profit model is that. AOL used to offer a deal like this.

>>Americans wants a system that says "All patents are belong to US"
Funny, but Americans don't care about patents anymore. The only folks who care are the wealthy guys who bought all the patents. (bought the companies that hold valued patents, pay thier workers to invent stuff while giving the patent to the employer for free. Patents are only for rich people now.
I use mlDonkey on Mandrake Linux and it slows my network like mad but I think it's my own fault for telling it to use all my bandwidth:). I've never throttled back just to see if it improves my web browsing. I just kill the process during surfing hours. Anywho, have you looked into bandwidth settings?
I agree. Tax laws are in fact a mathmatical formula. nothing more. The formula is played with on an on going basis to adjust the money collected based on the money being spent.
But remaining in this dredful place does not make love and joy return so whats the difference?
Besides, laws regarding suicide are strickly an economic debate. What industry would lobby to have you spend $50,000 on your slow exit when you could just go out without a large fee. hmmm.... investors in health care? Anyone who "owns" something in the medical industry? They certainly don't make any dough off us healthy folks.:) They need an unlimited supply of insured dependents to fill the beds.

Your kidding right? this shift will only damage microsoft. More money in your pocket, your employers pocket and your local economy.
Can I suggest that all buzz about Apple cease so we at slashdot can the avoid legal problems experienced by others recently?

...and it's no longer fashionable to blame Judas Priest or Ozzy Osbourne. I guess thier are deeper pockets to go after now.
I don't believe that they are hassling P2P. just hassling free music servers. ...not that I'm taking an opinion.
Looks like we can all switch back to dial up now. Nothing like $10.99 internet access. I was getting tired of paying $50 bucks anyway.
Ahh, but if you wait 24+ hours the second stick would be the first stick you pulled out of your ass all day!
