The effective date of the "new" legislation begins at enactment or later. I.e. when the President signs the bill into law. You can't retroactivly enact legislation (that would be ex post facto law), but you can amend previous legislation...
Uhh no. My guess is that the Communications Act of 1934 setup the US Code Title 47 section 230.
Then a later bill amended the original Act (not the US Code) with the term internet. By amending the original Act and not the US Code, the term "Internet" has the meaning as given in a 1934 Law..
(US Congress does that all the time, it makes it a bitch to cross reference things sometimes.. Instead of amending the code, they amend the original enacting legislation, which automatically amends the code!)
Bad faith has a legal definition. And I quote "Blacks Law Dictionary 6th Ed"
Bad Faith. The opposite of "good faith", generally implying or involving actual or constructive fraud, or a design to mislead or deceive another, or a neglect or refusal to fulfill some duty or some contractual obligation, not prompted by an honest mistake as to one's rights or duties, but by some interested or sinister motive. The term "bad faith" is not simply bad judgement or negligence, but rather it implies the conscious doing of a wrong because of dishonest purpose or moral obliquity....
It continues with court cases and such detailing legal rulings on the meaning of bad faith.

I have 5 static IPs.. (ok 8, but w/ broadcast, router, etc... only 5..) My DSL modem is setup as a bridge, but I personally would much prefer it if it was setup as a router. Then I could have firewall controls on the "gate" on my network.
FYI I pay about $80 a month for 256k/DSL, 5 Statics and that includes the voice line.
Explain to me why anyone would want bloatware that contains "all internet protocols on one interface?!"
Unless Mozilla is just a shell for loadable modules of each of these parts people will be trashing it just as they trash Netscape currently for it's bloat.
Knowing some people who have looked into data over Satellite phones..
Iridium is capable of something like 4800 bps. There is an amazing amount of compression of the data that it's pretty poor when it comes to transmitting data.
A few of the other competitors have data options on their phones... but Iridium/Motorola apparently ignored that need.
The reason why I am upset with this is that I wanted to spend my money on these shares. Not to get rich and sell them in a day. I plan on holdering on to 50% or more of these shares for the long term (5+ years).
It is the same reason why I go to Best Buy and buy Red Hat Linux. I have a fast enough connection, I know what I'm doing.. but I still buy the package because I want to support Red Hat.
Now I suddenly have the opportunity to buy Red Hat "before" the general population. I might make some money, I might not. I personally don't care about that aspect of the investment. The investment that I am making is in Red Hat as a company, not the price of a few shares.
I am not upset at Red Hat. I'm am only partially upset with e-trade. The reason? Because their "know your investor" doesn't know their investor. The problem is that a LOT of the investors with this IPO are like me. They want a piece of the pie for the long term, they have money they are willing to lose. And, if you are not willing to lose your money you shouldn't invest in the stock market at all. Thats what banks are for.
Personally I just dumped $3700 into an etrade account only to find out that I need to yank it all back out and stick it back in my savings account. What a pain in the ass.
$3600 (assuming $12 a share) isn't going to bankrupt me. They should have at LEAST asked how many shares do you want at max price of X. Then figured out if it's going to bankrupt you!
At the worst, I'd be more then happy to sign a document that says if the shares tank I won't sue. Personally I was planning on buying 300 shares and holding onto at LEAST half of them for the long term. Ohh well... They can close my account for all I care.
I think people are missing the point. This should really show the world that even when the "official" developers have dropped support, an open source project (ANY open source project, even those that people seem to hate) will continue.
There will always be people who want to use MkLinux for one reason or another. If at the very least it is to support the older NuBus macs and give them additional life.

"lowering both cost and price..."
That makes sense if you've ever bought and sold anything..
i.e. The OEM's cost goes down, so the selling price goes down. (or the selling price stays the same and you make more profit.. )
As a programmer and system designer I really appreciate other people thinking that source code is a work of art. The solutions (and solutions to the solutions) are very much a creative expression of the authors.
Congrats Linus and all programmers who have ever touch the Linux source.

Personally I like the idea. My girl friend bought me Red Hat 6.0 as a gift, but it turned out to be one of those over priced nock off versions..
I was even confused looking at the package and ended up returning it to the store for the "Official" version.
(Yes I know they are the same, but it's kind of nice to support the company...)
I just hope they don't try to ban someone saying "Based on Red Hat Linux..."
I also bought an eOne.. (Got it to run Linux...)
The "new" 21145 is just a Tulip chip.. But intel did something to it so the standard Tulip driver can't find the physcial port.
As far as video timings, if anyone can figure them out let me know!
Are you on crack? I use both USB Add-on card (in an 8600) and onboard (Blue G3) and they both work correctly.
Perhaps somebody's installer doesn't work right, but it has nothing to do with "Linux" not working with the USB devices correctly.

Bah! Ya right.
I can see it now.. $500 a gallon for gas at your local pump.. Refined from the best oil in the solar system.
I don't think so...
Out of curiosity what do you need USB for? Keyboards? Mice? etc?
I use a Blue G3, and a Mac 8600 w/ a USB card. Microsoft and Apple keyboards, Kensignton and Apple mice. No problems what-so-ever!
I can even hot swap and nothing "bad" happens.

Apparently you are missing the point of Open Source. The point is not security by abscurity, but security by the fact that:
1) If someone "hacks the code" to spam connections. It will be fixed quickly.
2) "Other malicious crud" can be prevented before it happens.
I personally don't care if software is free (money wise), but I do want source code with everything, so if I want/have to make changes I can.
I think people are missing the point. This should really show the world that even when the "official" developers have dropped support, an open source project (ANY open source project, even those that people seem to hate) will continue.
