You are probably right, I wouldnt want to live near the thing either. I just saw the poll and was kind of suprised by the results. I Wish they had it available on the website, so I could provide a link but I can't find one.
There is a poll in the November issue, results in the December issue. I don't remember the exact results but most people don't have a problem burying thousands of tons of nuclear waste under a mountain.

Because business people are making technical decisions
I would say it is because business people are making business decisions. It seems to be in AOL's best interest to continue to use IE for their main browser. AOL did use Mozilla code in it's Compuserve and Communicator email programs, I don't think they have given up on it.
When christians get entangled in the web of popular christianity it is hard to see some things as just a movie, when movies, tv, and the media shape our view of the world so much.
Just the same way some atheists write off any religious teaching because it may come from the bible or be spoken by a pastor.
we have had direcway in our real estate office for about a year now and it is ok. I have a cable connection at home, so I usually compare it to the adelphia connection. Cable seems more responsive when surfing the web, but on downloads sometimes it goes faster then the adelphia.
Things to keep in mind. Mount the dish good. Sometimes ice or rain can take ours out and we just have to wait until it can connect again. The new satelite modem should fix the messy internet connection sharing issues (we deal with it ok)
The latentcy seems to affects other programs too, like streaming video or some instant messaging. Sometimes these things bog down. If I want to watch a CNET video at work I have to put it on 56k to get a non-rebuffering video.
Excessive use during the day doesn't seem to affect us, but then again I can't tell that my cable connection gets overloaded durring the day either, so I'm probably not a good judge of that.
Upload is slower then download. I wouldn't want to host anything on it, unless it was serving a few users at a time and it wasn't an intense job.
there is always directway. two-way satellite, and they have a better modem coming out too, that doesn't require software to communicate with the modem.
on a dial-up connection this summer, i have just decided to wait until i get a broadband connection in the fall to patch up.
turning on microsoft's own built-in firewall in windows xp stops it as well.
As I am currently doing my senior seminar project on various open source licenses and intellectual property.
I am guessing that I will advocate MPL as opposed to GPL or any other license. It is very liberal open source, yet is still favorable from a business standpoint.
My SMS service through Verizon works fine, I get the messages within a minute of the other person sending them, but it only works when I am in a digital reception area.
I go to school about an hour and a half away from where I bought my phone, and a different service provider is in this area, I get a great analog signal, but because I dont get a digital signal, that means that I can't get SMS messages, or voice mail notifications until I go back into a Verizon digital area.
Nearly 100% Software Compatability. Just about every software vendor designs for Windows. When Mandrake makes a distro of Linux with Wine that works better.. I will whole heartly switch... in fact I'm looking forward to the day.
Also, I don't know enough about linux yet, that would ease my transition. I need a computer that works and when I need to install something, I don't want to have to download a tarball and compile myself.
You may not be having any trouble just doing that now.. but that might change in the future.
Sometimeswhen I install a new Mozilla release I run into some error with my profile (2 or 3 years of changes in Mozilla means junk in the profile), and I have to rebuild it.
New Profile & Move my mail in. It's not big deal for me, but not good for the average user.
Popular Science had an article a year or two back about stelth technology for the day light. It involved something similar where there were sensors all over the aircraft and brightness changing panels that would match the sky (or ground I suppose) behind the plane.
I don't have time to go thru the other replies to this story.. so I don't know if someone else already posted this or not, but CNET thinks differently about the open source thing...
They are saying that Apple didn't open the source.. just trying to woo open source developers.

This also makes microsoft look like a good guy. Being concerned with the economy.. wanting to be a team player and all.

The only good I could see coming from this would be if MS trashed Frontpage and just used Dreamweaver.
