it does read funny, but it probably means that out of that 85%, all but 1% acted wierd (and that's not subjective, right, 'acting wierd'?)
or 41.65 had documented grievances and only.49 did not act wierd
they've already been taking over by http://shinyfeet.com/ their the first to offer unlimited email space, but the killer is, unlimited online file storage as well.
it is free, and there are some ads (as with all the others) but they are not intrusive and certianly I can put up with them for unlimited space.
Shinyfeet Storage Usage:
0.0000000012% of Unlimited
Disk space used: 12.2GB
and for webmail, shinyfeet has the best spam filtering I have experienced. fancy or not, it certainly works (and with their unlimited setup, you'd need something that works)
we are getting a bit OT here, but within the context of the gmail vs exchange and your comment regarding reading other's email because exchange allows it, is bogus.
it does happen, but it is *clearly* logged (that another user has another's mailbox open). and the majority of the time, it is only when security plays a factor, either by request or authorization that you must scan (and there better be damn good cause). however, this is a very grey area that has been argued many times over one's privacy at a company which employes you.
however, gmail is a minor threat to hotmail, perhaps not yahoo at all, but all will die to either fastmail or shinyfeet as they give what the user's want, not what the company wants as a new revenue stream.
and even if there was a gmail appliance, they would have to provide admin ability to access emails of the accounts created.
I do not understand how you can control everything else, but not the time of use.
when he gets older and starts driving, you are going to say "be home by..." and he will abide if all goes well.
how are you not able to leverage time currently with your clock? you can still use the time currency/reward scenario
granted, time management can be very difficult - but if you tell him "you can play from 5 to 6" (as my parents did with TV or playing outside, or whatever the event)... won't that fit into your parenting techniques, instead of this time controlling tool?
I do not see any problems with this technology, I think that if a parent wants to shelter their child from whatever evil we create, they should be allowed to do so - if this product helps them, that's great.
what gets me is the limitation option. limiting the child to how much time on the game/computer they get, that a parent should be able to handle without such a device.
What can you do? The people are not perfect and the system is not perfect since it's made by people for people.
it was at first, perhaps - but now it's made by corporations for corporations and money/power hungry officials
the problem is that too many removed from this generation and too many not caring enough to get involved (kinda like yourself with an 80% effectiveness attitude) do not fight it and the rich get richer, the ones in power continue to grow in power - everyone else looses out.
just like these other 700+ comments, you are missing the point.
nobody is saying that pre-releasing a movie or cd-single is ok to do and should not be punished (if they are, see above). However, what I believe the 20+ accurate comments are stating is that the law will be abused and loosely interpreted to destroy innocent people's lives. Then there are our constitutional rights, which, by every large corporation that cannot think past their money and power, steadily decreases.
WAD, it will most likely be abused as a revenue stream for the corporation (US government).
BTW, you forgot to include a URL with the proof of either RIAA or MPAA loosing any money at all (unless you are counting the millions spent suing users and lobbying)
When you run a red light, you get a financial fine. When you run a red light drunk, you get a financial fine and a suspended license. When you run a red light and hit another car, injuring or killing another person, you get jail time (and all of the above). The point here is, there are levels which can be easily decided upon based on the result of your actions. This law, similar to many digital/electronic bills, leaves too much interpretation. There is never any result, just assumptions.
Let me know when you want to go to jail for 3 years from the RIAA/MPAA assuming that you have copyrighted material on your shared IPC drive from your temp internet folder when you misspelled google or slashdot in your address bar and ended up at an illegal site.
I never said yourself. Perhaps you do not have friends or family in the US - but you wouldn't want this to happen to me, would you?:-}
and I am sure these corporations could find a way to get you over here and make your life miserable. All it takes is money and a power hard on - which they have an endless supply (currently).
I hear you on the death penalty, you are playing the percentages and feel/think that its better to catch and kill them all even if its only 80% successful. I disagree as I value life, we only get one chance and it's a short one.
And it's not "innocent people get hurt by it", you are talking about taking their life - the people close of the innocent would be 'hurt by it'.
I think 3 years is not much at all. I would prefer to see it be closer to 8-12 years. Honestly.
you'll most likely change your mind after a friend or family member running windows with comcast as their ISP, gets hacked and used to store copyrighted or pre-released material, gets busted and unable to prove they were hacked... or even if they are able to hire someone to prove they were hacked, in the US Justice system, once you've been fingered, you're marked for life.
is when I'll stop handing over my money to entertainment corporations and giving up my constitutional rights to the corporation
it is quite obviously that we will never stop the likes of RIAA and MPAA greasing up the government when 95% of the people we know devote 1/3 of their income to these corporations - not too mention clueless (perhaps do not care) about their rights, as long as they can wait out in front of a shitty, piss-stenched, soda-sticky, overpriced movie theater listening to their latest $20, 10 song, commercialized-so-now-its-their-favorite music group cd.
pre-released sig coming soon on soundtrack and DVD (while you get 5 years + $500,000 fine):
if you clicked/viewed this you can be sentenced up to 3 years in prison since you are on windows and all hard drives are IPC shared, and it was downloaded to your shared temp internet folder
pre-released sig (2 years or $1,000,000 bond): going to the movies? I'll bring my 4 cell phones

now *that* was funny

first time I have truly LOL from a comment on
I guess using CadillacMan as the alias forced you to be AC, but let's mod this up as funny.
a screw up on the url paste, still gets you to the important data.

but I do not know why we are all worked up about this, EA or one of the other big names will grease some palms in Congress and we'll be commenting on how, yet again, our freedoms are being dictated by the corporations we work for and support (financially).
