considering the cost difference of extremely cheap mass produced pressed CD's versus CD-RW, a tight-wad corporation already going down the drain with their dying dial-up service, is hardly likely to do that anytime soon;-)
Tell them to mark any and all AOL mail "RETURN TO SENDER" and AOL will bear even greater costs, at no cost to the consumer."
because unless return postage is garanteed by AOL for those mailings (which i don't believe is the case), the post office will just toss them in the trash.
"For the average American to use Linux, we need an isp like AOL that is nationwide, and supports linux. "
The average american that uses Linux has also always had many choices of nation-wide ISP's, and been able to connect to them (which you couldn't at the time with AOL, you'd be required to use their proprietary client. on Windows/Mac.)

or MacAddict... they've dragged one by a chain with a SUV and beaten the crap out of one with a sledge hammer on video before, back in the day.:-)
nor was it a powerful multi-user, multi-threaded, with any local security, or running a enterprise class web server, file server, mail server, or ported to any other platforms besides the x86.
MS-DOS is nowhere near at the same level, for comparison, and the argument is totally 'apples and oranges.'
"Leave it to the Slashdot crowd to cheer for anything that hurts content producers. The only reason anyone would need a 160GB hard drive is to store vast quantities of pirated music and video."
I beg to differ on that naive assumption. put a few of those drives in a raid config, and they become great storage for enterprise networks (network user folders, mail servers at companies with idiot CEO's that email 20mb powerpoint files to everyone in the company, etc.), or for people that do digital video production and editing. Piracy and porn are not the only uses for mass storage.
I can understand your argument about leaving it the way it looks now, which i support in part too, but - i think it's also great to get the ball rolling toward moon travel.. exploration.. habitation.. etc.
Besides, i think it would be cool to see blinky lights from earth, once there was colonizing cities there...c'mon now..as a geek..you know it's all about the blinky-blinky lights in the dark.:-)
that's absolutely untrue, 1.x runs beautifully on my Mac OS X machine, and especially under Windows since it's loaded into memory ahead of time like how IE's done it.
And when i say it runs beautifully, i'm talking about on a 450mhz PowerPC G4 w/ 384mb of RAM, and a 800mhz AMD w/ 128mb of RAM.
works with sendmail or qmail or whatever, that filters out the spam messages and autoforwards the message to a list of congressmen, etc with a message "want my vote? make this type of UCE illegal like in Europe".
i wouldn't go as far as to say we'd be forced to use nuclear weapons, but it more likely would force use to take out enemies that would use such things - first. Like in how we're already looking at going back to Iraq or anywhere else that would harbor and develop terrorism.
because it makes yourself (HP) look like an ass to the public, just a bad PR move. They should wait till those Dell plans were definate and being manufactured.
Slashdot Mirror
which is why that one is almost /.'d, just about :)
The other 90 are, of course, blatant attempts to cash in on pre-existing technology.

No, that's here in the US
I think it would be more like Place all bug on Windows jokes here
..bugs crawl through open Windows? :)
or perhaps: Place all bugs in Windows jokes here

As i was reading that, i was expecting a "...Not paying a boatload of money to Apple: PRICELESS." type of thing, at first.
nor was it a powerful multi-user, multi-threaded, with any local security, or running a enterprise class web server, file server, mail server, or ported to any other platforms besides the x86.

yeah, it's not perfect - it can't keep a consistant vulnerability release each week, like IIS does. :-P
"thank god for AOL"
:-)
yeah.. uh.. "So easy to use, no wonder it's #1!"

all of their domains that they don't use or might later, do that. (ie mammals.org too)
and open source is the key! ::insert cheap joke drum/symbol beat::

not to mention IBM's grudge and desire for vengeance, over OS/2 :-)
(though it was still partially their own fault too..)

so if you could just move that article to the end of the posts, that'd be greeeeeaat, ok. Thanks a bunch /.
