"(PS Anyone else feel the new format seems to have sapped the vitality out of Slashdot? Maybe because it now looks like every other site on the web. It does load faster but I don't know if this change was really that brainy a scheme.)"
Oh, good, I'm not hallucinating. I wish there had been some warning, guess I'm just getting old.
I guess there's nothing wrong with the new look, but it just doesn't look like Slashdot anymore.

Anybody know where Rudy Guliani is going to be that day?
Is it you, or Vonage, or both, that seem to be confused over the concept that, Victor Kiam notwithstanding, although customers may also be shareholders or potential shareholders, i.e, investors, and vice versa, they are not the same thing.
Customers buy stuff from a company. Investors buy a piece of the company and hope that it has lots of happy customers.
If you aren't familiar with the DirectNIC Hurricane Katrina saga, google "directnic katrina" and read a few of those stories, and check out the back pages of "http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/" and see if you think they're your kind of people.
""I Love Lucy" was one of the most successful radio shows ever produced, and almost all of it is schlock. There were occasional gems, but mainly it was schlock."
Well, see, if you'd watched it on television (especially if you had watched it in the context of being alive when it was new), you might have a greater appreciation.
I suggest you splurge and get a new picture tube for your radio.
You can say better than, or worse than (or higher or lower or fatter, etc), but when things differ (as opposed to being compared along a scale of a particular value--quality, height, weight, et cetera), then they differ *from* one another.
Apparently only some parts of ny brain work at any given time. I even googled "flaut flaunt" and found references to "flaut" as scoffing at or disdaining, thus re-inforcing my temporary mental abberation.
" It's not Google's bandwidth supplier that's the problem here. It's *YOUR* ISP. "
Actually, it's neither. It's the telecom companies that both your ISP and Google (who I assume act as their own ISP) use to connect with each other. It is those telecom companies who have decided that some bits (or electrons) are more equal than others.

Perhaps this Ask Slashdot- "Multi-State Family Networking?"-from May 31, 2006 has some replies that will assist you.
Well, not *now*. Thanks a lot.

Future-proofing would have been if he'd been smart enough to install conduit if he was going to open up the walls.

I'm not totally in jest.
Yes. I know. But I just couldn't resist the temptation.

So those who work with computer technology are being regarded as human now? :-)
And shouldn't that be "...a project *which* wants help with their docs?" :-)
Ignore the ones who want help and force yourself on those who need help (and probably don't realise it) whether they want it or not. :-)

Perhaps so, but the phrase you want is "flauting the law".
And no, it has nothing to do with flute playing. :-)

I'm pretty sure that everybody else who was discussing Gore and the Supreme Court was talking about the 2000 election.
The Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song actually, entitled "Ohio" and written by Neil Young.
Are you speaking of the election of 2004 or of the election of 2000?
Sorry, not even the cavemen from the FedEx ad can pull off that miracle.
Now that I've stopped laughing long enough to catch my breath...
As someone on alt.audio.pro once said, "Record companies are concerned about artists the way that ranchers are concerned about cattle".
If the consumer is really in charge, is there a way for them to tell Tivo "Never, ever, waste any of my electrons downloading commercials. Ever."?
I think a nice azure copy looks better myself.
