When the founding fathers were alive and running the country, there were no policial parties at first. They all had similar enough beliefs that they didn't need different parties. It could be argued that that was the same thing as single party rule. And the checks and balances (and the country) survived just fine.
On December 21, the sun rises at 7:55 AM CDT. That means it is already on daylight savings time. It's not going to spring forward another hour on top of the one it already has.
It can't be inforced, not even remotely plausible.
The law just says they have to allow customers to block a list of sites. If the ISP doesn't block something that is not on the list, no problem.
It's fundamentally anti-freedom and wrong.
Since when is it anti-freedom to give someone more choices than they had before?
Utah is a screwed up place.
Yeah, Utah is different. But after spending a week in Las Vegas where I did nothing but inhale other's cigarette smoke, I'm happy to be back here.
Expect lawsuits against the state of Utah by porn sites and ISPs.
How is this different than say, the no call list? People chose to ban sales people from calling them. Lawsuits against it failed. People can now choose to ban certain sites from coming into their house.
It just doesn't matter.
Time will tell. But sometimes you have to take a stand. Utah also is a leader in passing anti-spyware bills. That probably won't matter, either, but it certainly is a step in the right direction.
I live in Utah. While it is true the church sometimes makes its position on various issues known, I do not recall them saying anything about this bill at all.
I respect your opinions about Utah, as you managed to disagree without being insulting. You mention how you wouldn't want this much homogenity. I think that diversity means that you can find various different things in different places, including having some places that are very diverse at a local level, and other places that are homogenous. In this line of thinking strict diversity *everywhere* is not diverse at all.
You got that much? Man, I got ripped off. When my wife signed me up to do the radio ratings, I got a dollar. Woo. And then I didn't listen to the radio all week so I wouldn't have to write anything down.
I live in Roy, UT, where Iomega's world headquarters used to be located. They still have larges offices there. When my Zip drive died, I called them, and they eventually sent me a new one. The wanted to charge me a nominal amount (like 50% of the original price). I can't remember if I talked them out of it or not. They sent me a new one, along with a box to send the old one back via UPS. Since I lived close to their offices, I thought I'd save them the cost of shipping the old one back. I drove to their office, and asked them to take the defective one. After 10 or 15 minutes of people asking other people what to do, they eventually threw their hands up in the air and told me I would have to go and send it via UPS anyway.
From one of the articles in the story:
Econium's Winell said he hopes those that posted the code are identified and prosecuted. "Unlike Linux desktops, which is like the wild wild west and not controlled and enhanced all the time, Windows users have come to take a quality controlled operating system for granted and not have to worry about a bad release," Winell said. "We hope that Microsoft can swiftly identify how the code got released, prosecute the perpetrator and build a barrier/security patch to protect against intrusions."
I'm in the same situation from an account I created like 5 years ago. However, I found that if click on the account settings link, it takes you to a web page with an options that says something to the effect of "This account is not mine." I clicked on that, and the page said they would stop sending any mail to my address.
I have a Dish Network PVR that includes a 30 seconds forward skip and a 10 second rewind skip. After a fair amount of testing, I've found that the fastest way for me to get through commercials is to keep skipping forward until I see the show, then hit the 10 second rewind button once or twice.
I'm on my 2nd pen drive now. I sold my first one, a 128 MB Lexar in order to get a 256 MB one. I put mine on my keychain. Since then I've dropped my keys on the road several times, taken naps with them in my pocket, and who knows whatever else with them. So far I have not had so much as a hiccup out of either one of them.
Has anybody (in the US) gone to their local District Attorney's office and complained about being extorted? If we complain to enough prosecutors, maybe one of them will file criminal charges against the people at SCO.

And in retrospect, I'm stupid. Please ignore my previous comment.

Go FUD yourself.

For the record, most everyone I know in Utah who knows who SCO is, hates them.

Not if the user CHOOSES not to use the filter. Never let the truth get in the way of a good troll.
It did say *all* of their services. I am assuming Launchcast falls in that area.
Not to nitpick, but wasn't it Riker who, given Q's power changed him into that hunk of a man? I'm not a Trekkie or anything. I promise.
Whoops, my bad. I spoke too quickly. It's been quite a few years since high school US history.
Wasn't the electoral college created by the constitution, which is in the late 1700's? The 3/5 compromise wasn't until much later.
Maybe that's how I started getting invitations to join the AARP when I was 23.

That's what you get for buying a name brand computer.

Wouldn't it be your fingers working faster than your brain?

I've loved in the shower, and my bedroom, but I must admit, I've never loved in Rural Kansas.
Hmm...I see no flamebait potential in this story...

On the upside, however, it would solve the problem of spilling Mountain Dew on the keyboard.
Isn't that what they run on the cash registers at McDonalds?
