Let's admit it. Spam is becoming like rain on the roof. Everyone I know has just whitelisted for email. Yes, you have freedom of speech. But I am free to ignore you....
Not at all. Leave a video stream connected to your
family (monitor a residence, invalid family member, pet, just keeping in touch). You can suck 30GB/month easily....
Isn't that what "broadband" is for????
If the ISP's are getting into the "judgement" business than they need to advertise the products as such:
1. Browser use only
2. Browser use & e-mail client (no attachments)
3. Browser use & e-mail client (with attachments.5 Meg).
I think you can see where this is going....
They only should be allowed to advertise what they can truely deliver. No more, no less...
The bottom line is if your service is xG/time then SELL IT AS SUCH!!!!. The issue is broadband ISP's are trying to sell the "perception" of 24/7 but only delivering a limited product.
Remember, you have to pay for the financial fun and games (mergers/aquisitions) also. With the debt loads outfits like Comcast has taken on rate increases are going to come for the forseeable future.
that politicians are pure "opportunistic" organisms. They sniff out the weaknesses of the body politic for their own survival. Bush & Co. are just a reflection of the ostrich like tendencies of us, the American public. We don't want to have to take a hard look at ourselves in the mirror and maybe think about anything deeper than the next purchase of "stuff". Personally my defining moment was when shortly after 9/11 Bush told the American public to "take that vacation, buy that new car". So this is the supreme value held dear by America now? What happened to the ideas laid out in the Bill of Rights?
It took a long time for the Roman Empire to fall from the rot within. It wasn't the politicians. It was the popular demand for "bread & circuses".

A culture is in trouble when day to day activities are "governed" by laws whose applications are a crapshoot and a huge "priesthood" is required to interpret them to the common man.

Now what's a healthy norweigen teenage boy going to do with "12 goats and a virgin"???
Yep, you got to love it. In America only two things are considered when in business.
1. Can it make money?....Duh.
2. Is it legal?
The question never gets asked.
Is it the right thing to do....?
We have become a totally amoral society.
Nope, but maybe the wireless equiv of the interstate highway system is in order. Then let the baby bells just sit on their "back country road" infrastructure while the rest of us use the highway.
Exactly correct. If I'm going to be charged by the bit, I want to have the choice of which bits I pay for! No advert banner graphics bits should be charged, no spam bits, no pop up bits, etc. etc. etc.
Wow, I did not think DOSCIS modems gave them that much power...;-]
Hasn't one of the big problems with fuel cell tech for cars, getting the hydrogen while you are "on the road". Think of it. Every septic tank in America could be a fuel depot!! Convert your "outflow" to "cash flow"...
Remember, we are supposed to be working under the principle of "equal protection under the law". When certain groups can overtly buy "a different standard, to allow vigilantism" the whole concept breaks down and doors are open to anarchy.

..2 million years to Aldeberon?
Maybe our decendents x 100,000 (assuming 20 yrs/generation) will recover it...
One can only hope....

Hey you don't have to move to India. Just be a "consultant" in this IT environment....;-]

Just give the MPAA the "goats"
Don't feel to comfortable. Here in the "good old USA" it's the corporations that want to block your access to information and control your behaviour.

Consume. If you don't agree ask Bush....
Interesting. Now the spoofers are using the same tactics (name changes etc) that users used before Napster went under....
