But consider a future where high speed ubiquitous full duplex internet access is available. I know this is a big "if" and I don't want to debate it here - suffice it to say that it is likely to happen soon (think WImax and Fiber to the home currently in rollout)
Won't Darknet(s) and Freenet become feasible? They are not now because broadband is so limiting (throttled uploads) - but when a good portion of us are lit up on glass won't we be able to say... "Fuck the mandated snooping!" and "Kiss my encrypted ass!"
They must be specifically targetting Vonage - and if thats true, they will get an earfull from me - however...
I use VOIP on it all the time - but my provider is a much smaller\less well known carrier. The only issues I have are when I'm running assloads of torrents;)! (Bittorent absou-fucking-lutely will melt your router!)
The other obvious possiblity is that the peering point at which Vonage is connected to Comcast is simply getting overloaded - i.e. Vonage is a victim of its own success
The only problem I can see with this is the really weak wifi output from the DS
We have two DS's in my house and the range to my centrally located WAP54G is incredibly weak - The kids need to huddle around the access point in order to play Mario Kart on the net.
IMHO - I can't see this as a practical way to surf the web
The more I read about this man and understand what a massive impact he had on the world, the more I believe this guy was either from outer space or a time traveler or something.
He was so advanced and ahead of his time on so many aspects of our human experience that conluding that he was a mere mortal is difficult.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Kick ass! - This has made my week!
This was doomed from the start when the service would basically ask the spammers to "stop nicely".
....
These fuckers are pond scum - we need to fight back and fight back with a vengence. Non-stop DDOS I say
There has to be a penalty for this behavior - asking nicely is not an option
This may be inevitable -

http://www.untied.com/ - which is just a merciless basher site of United Airlines (i.e. http://www.united.com/
It's sad and hilarious - United Airlines completely sucks
This is just confirmation of what we already know here in the USA - liberals are knuckleheads
Wow - that's hilarious!
An "unrestrained economy" is exactly what scares the left.
I'm sure that you have plenty of success stories to tell about "restrained economies".
Here are a few - North Korea, Cuba, The Soviet Union, China
btw - The Soviet Union and China are some of the biggest polluters ever!
Jam that in you bong and smoke it - hippie!
Unionized tech workers? - How fucked up is that?
Tech workers can work in just about any industry and can work just about anywhere.
Here's a clue - IF YOUR JOBS SUCKS, QUIT! Or at least post up on Monster fer-cry-eye
Tech workers are not like a bunch of UAW factory workers who really have no options other than strike when the company they work for pisses them off.
UAW workers can't post up on Dice or Monster and expect any offers
I don't get it, WTF?

Quothe the article - "... Yakov Epstein, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University ..."
Didn't they mean Yakov Smirnof? "In Soviet Russia, operating system picks you!" or something like that
Thanks -
I thought it might be something else - I will try a different channel - I must have something interfering inside the house

... we can route all our P2P traffic via proxy/router thru France in order to be immune from prosecution/lawsuits? - sweet!
Finally, a way to bury the knuckleheaded ILEC's and their knuckleheaded ways ...
They know that internet access is increasingly becoming a commoditiy service that gets cheaper by the minute.
They don't like that - so they are flailing around to try and invent some business model that they hope we all buy - guess what - nobody will!
Come on! Are they insane? retarded? or both?
Wasnt this an episode of Sealab 2021?
So if I use Google's cache to locate torrents for say I don't know ... King Kong (2005) ... I'm all good?
"On Record" - but of course we have records going back to the beginning of time - so this truely is alarming..... hey, wait a minute!
God I just love watching that cement truck explode!
If you've never seen it - dont miss it! - It's at the very end of the video

Happy Birthday Ben!
Now I know why Office Max litterally GIVES away CD-Rs (w/rebates) - because they suck (the CDs that is)
I use these for music all the time - they last about 3 months - especially if I really like whats on them
The more I play them, the worse they get - they actually start to sound staticy. It kind of sounds like I have a 6 vinyl LP player in my car!
no biggie though - just chuck the disk in the garbage and re-burn
It is amazing how fast you can make them deteriorate though
True -
;)
Windows 95 was much crappier than that demo
WTF? I mean what are they gonna do?
arrest us all???
