Basically what they are saying is this: "the education is free but the credit is not". Learn all you want but your still going to have to pay. Personally this will work well for me if i can do this when i grauate high school but i know plenty of other people that will never do anything but the bare minimum in a class. Most people in my classes in high school dont try to learn the subject material, they just learn the test answers.
Well thats the pope i guess. Latin is set in palce and although people may change it there actually is an official latin. Well not just one but there at least is a standard. Personally one of my favorite quotes is this "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur". Look it up its worth your time;)
Well i am in high school and im glad i read this. I am personally not one who wants nothign but earth shattering base so i guess ill look elsware for my DIY sub project. Since i have been looking around for a set of new speakers when i saw the article my heart skipped a beat. Beleive me wheni say i was dissapointed to see nothing about building your own subwoofer at all. There are plenty of classmates of mine who show me their "new car sub" which either sits int he trunk or under the back seat and sounds like muffled cars crashing. Well this is too bad because i am willing to spend t he time to do it right. Are there any better links you know of to teach me?
English is STILL not a dead languadge. If you want an unchanging languadge go learn latin. Sorry but everything changes and there is no "official" english. When Webster "standardized" english with his dictionary he really just put out his own opinion on what is standard. If you want a quick example of how "english" has changed try http://www.m-w.com/about/look.htm.
Ok every time i post about Mandrake someone rips into my sig. It is there on purpose. I know that the actual command is "umount" but what the command does is "unmount". It sounds better if your not "umounting a women". Jesus everyone needs to calm down and realize that console skills arent required BECAUSE of distros such as mandrake. Personally i am very good at using a console and it helps me a lot but whenever i install mandrake on a windows convert's computer i dont even install a console interface. It just needlessly confuses them and if they later feel like they want to explore the OS more i simply tell them the very short command to install it off the cd's.
God stop it and stop it right now. I agree with your point that our freedoms are being taken away which is sad but i dont agree with some of your blind accusations. There is no "right wing christain conspiracy" going on here. Sorry to say but the people we are fihting against are very often very liberal hollywood producers and corporate leaders. We MUST NOT make this into a battle of "us" vs. "them", thats a gross oversimplification and will serve nothing other than their purpose. We must embrace all others who have a chance to be on our side without alienating anyone. If you make this into a war then very quickly our enemies will raise their defenses and we will LOSE. When this is a battle it will become its own reason to take our rights away. We must be very careful not to be viewed as radical if we expect other people to side with us we are going to havbe to change our plan from one where we attack our enemies to another where we convert them.
Another thing to add to your argument is this: a lot of warez channels actually spread the software without the companies doing it themselves. Companies are getting free exposure (although it may or may not be worth what they lost). I know people who have registered software that was once cracked but now that they are making money with it they can pay for it and do. Anyone who uses a program like dreamweaver or photoshop for their job (even if its at home) will tell you its worth it to pay and get the support becuase without it they lost more money than the cost. So the question is this: is the amount of money people spend registering software they were exposed to by warez greater than the mystical "lost revenue" the companies bitch about or do they actually lose money? I guess thats the 10 million dollar question but if it could be answered both sides arguments would go away.
ok way to whore your way to some karma... you simply found a highly modded post from the last article and called it your own... here instead of copy/pasting all the previous wisdom im just going to link to it all in one nice page
what about mandrake?... i know mandrake can be used as everything else but its best as a desktop distro... personalyl i find it to be VERY easy and have used it to convert many windows users... also mandrake 9.0 comes out any day now...
I agree with you. Most of the time snail mail is good but when you use the phone you can easily call several times untill the secratary starts to reginize you and mentions you personally to whomever you're trying to contact... rememember that when your trying to get your point across the more they think about you the better chance you ave to sway them...
well i should have expected both of those... i have seem MANY offtopic posts about my sig and even some hate mail... well let me explain... as you said the space is an anti-page-widening filter...
the other part is not really correct either... not all versions of unix use "umount" as the syntax to unmount a volume... some use "umount" and some use "unmount" they actually do exist... but regardless of whether its an actual command doens't matter... my sig is a collection of unix terms that dont have to be commands... i would change it to be all commands but i think its funny sometimes the flames i get such as "why dont you use slackware and then maybe youll actually learn some REAL commands"...
your right i didn't get my title straight but at least you got my point that she is one of the most computer savvy representatives we have but this does not mean anybody else is as savvy as her... it maeks me worry sometimes reading some of the quotes about technology of 75 year olds who would rather do without some of it anyway. (i dont mean to say that all old people are against technology so dont flame)
i dont care how mixed you think my messages are... the reason slashdot is so great is because its one place where you can misspell words and still rant all you want...
but im not writing to a senator now am i?... as i said its pretty asinine to get worked up about spelling on slashdot... save your energy for where it counts... i really dont care if you read my post or not... abvoiusly you did and you understood what i had to say so i am satisfied...
haha well in washington state here we have a real networks CEO so i suppose she would be spam savvy on her own but im really worried about some of the 60 or 70 + year old senators who dont have the time to learn how to deal with it... i guess it depends on your area... i should hope a seattle respresentative knows something about computers as they are a major force in the economy around here...
you should also be orriginal in your criticism... get a life and qit being an english nazi on slashdot... you should have figured out this is not the place to be anal about spelling...
haha you should know that on slashdot misspelling is GOOD form... well i know i know i typed it too fast but btw if oyu ever DO write a letter to someone important you better get every little detail right or they wont waste their time...
... is to write a real pen and ink letter. Some poeple sya they aent mroe effective but i they are. I know many people have received resonses from real letters as opposed to email. Also phone calls work good.
just like any godo slashdotter i should be all over the previous article copy/pasting away all the +4/+5 comments to this new one to boost my karma... unfortunatly i hit the cap so im not going to waste my time formatting... just go to this link and see all the insightful goodness of the past article...
god i hope by kernel 7.0 we are past 802.11b... the best possible current technology i can think of is 802.11a but even then its going to not be enough soon...

IANAL but i think it would make it illegal to spam from another state but from another country might be difficult to enforce.
