Sounds like you're using broadband for business. Your connectivity has been suspended pending a talk with our "business solutions" unit, and payment of business rates. Love, your ISP.
Seriously, if the only "legal" use we can scare up is work from home, we're all in trouble.
Apple Computer needs to settle.

After they've C&D'd everybody and their brother for making Aqua skins, providing a workaround to allow folks to use their DVD writing software, and various other "intellectual property" based "offenses," they're hypocrites to not respect the other Apple's "intellectual property."
Yeah, I got one. I spend the rest of my life enjoying what I've already downloaded, plus buy stuff from non-RIAA labels. And I never put another cent into RIAA members' pockets. Ever. Amen.
. . . who's organizing the drive to buy this kid's family $2,000 worth of used or non-RIAA member CDs to replace what she agreed to delete? Or, better yet, donate the $2,000 in CDs to the nearest public library to her apartment. The scumbags at the Raping Internet Anally Always haven't bought enough of Congress to make libraries illegal yet, right?
Oswald and James Earl Ray are dead. And I doubt the CIA has any interest in knocking off Sherman, unfortunately. Though I can imagine a family man who lost everything to the RIAA might consider blowing himself up and taking a few RIAA employees with him to the great beyond. Not that I advocate such an act of terrorism, of course.
More likely, I think, is that this girl was carefully targeted, and that there's some kind of underhanded "payment plan" that will result in the family never actually paying anything significant. Consider an analogy to American POWs who signed North Korean or North Vietnamese espoinage "confessions" and were paraded for propaganda.
So true! Mod parent up. The only thing he forgot was the bullshit "Universal Service Fee" that some ISPs are actually charging, although it's doubtful they're required to contribute to the USF fund.
Or until Freenet use is outlawed in the U.S.--or considered prima facie evidence of intent to commit a crime, which would be tantamount to being outlawed.
That is an excellent example of a politician talking out of both sides of his mouth. I got the same thing from former Sen. Jean Carnahan when writing about the CBDTPA--she didn't come out and say she supported it or didn't, but a wishful thinker could have read it either way. Her "non-reply reply" cost her my vote, though she lost by a landslide anyway.
FYI, in the U.S., bankruptcy does not make a student ineligible for federally guaranteed Stafford or Perkins loans. (Incidentally, student loans are almost never dischargable in bankruptcy.)
So you won't mind if someone transfers 0.6% of your paycheck from your checking account to his each payday? After all, it's only a minimal proportion of your money.
The mods are expressed in percentages to obfuscate editor modbombing. The post of doom showed hundreds of moderations that made it obvious that unlimited points were being used--and the editors learned their lesson.
It's worse--he's renting, and rather than just moving into a good neighboorhood, he's calling the people who supply crime statistics to pizza delivery people rascists/classists/*ists for causing him not to be able to get a pizza.
Sorry, that analogy was so good I couldn't help running with it.
The people who maintain blocklists have no responsibility to you whatsoever. Those using the blocklists are making a choice to deny access to the networks they own to addresses on the list. If it takes too long to get un-listed after a spam run, that's incentive for ISPs to keep the spammers off their networks in the first place--or lose customers to ones that do.
Of course, there go multiple source transfers out the window. But I guess that's the price that must be paid for avoiding the wrath of the jackbooted copyright thugs.
BGSU is a public institution, and is required to dispose of property in a manner that retrieves value for the taxpayer. You may check the surplus auction schedule--if you're not too late, you could become the proud owner of a gently used SGI on the cheap.
If you wanted to be a pain and couldn't find it, you could formally request information on the disposition of the old machines, which is public record.
No good. Driver action to avoid an accident depends on reflexes. The time required to find and use the infrequently used override would result in needless loss of life.

It's not so much the latency that's bad, but the variance of latency.
Even the FBI's smart enough not to use such a sympathetic defendant for what would be an extremely high profile NET Act prosecution.

A truly proud day for American industry.
Who the hell modded that insightful? Inciteful is more like it. Hope I see this in M2.

Two words. Chapter. Seven.

He would know. He already has links with Organized Crime

Don't forget bnetd, either.
I voted -1, DMCA wielding jackbooted thugs.

Saw his comment in M2, and was going to say exactly what you just said. Whoever said that was "Insightful" is getting an "Unfair."
