How would the wired net ever have evolved with everyone being charged for individual services. I pay a fee to my provider. I choose a good service it is then their responsibility to provide me all that the internet has without exception.
They are not a creative source of information they are a provider. Why should they have any say in what services I have access to or the speeds I should be able to get? I already pay for my speed based on the tier of service I can afford.
The idea that wireless services are special will only keep these companies from innovating and making improvements to infrastructure to actually accomodate all the people they sign up each month.
Look at airlines. If they oversell a flight because they wanted more profits and know they don't have room - people complain. People have been complaining long enough that airlines have had to demand bigger better more efficient jetliners. If the airlines were simply able to say: only people in 1st class are able to expect better service and not be bumped from flights (they do this but you will never hear them say this is "fair" and will improve everyone's air travel like ISPs are trying to say), you would have a revolt.
It sounds like you need a reality check and some real world experience. If you thought you were getting your dream job and got something else, welcome to the planet.
Who gives a crap what he did or didn't do beyond that original masterpiece? What he did came from a place of passion and love of life, not something based on a desire to please or make money.
Imagine your disappointment if he would have gone on to make a sucky prequel!
3) The defendant's attorney doesn't like what their client has done and is in fact helping me out.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this, but coupled with your other points, sounds like the defendant at the least should actually be dismissing their attorney, if not suing them for malpractice, if not talking to the police about having you both charged with conspiring to pervert the course of justice (if your jurisdiction allows such for civil procedures).
I'm all for 'sticking it to the man', but the fact you're in appeals, and boasting on Slashdot that the opposing legal counsel is "helping you out"... I'm not sure is such a good thing.
I'm thinking Mr. Socrates is having a "My Cousin Vinny" moment. I.e. Joe Pesci's character, Vinny is surprised that the prosecutor is "helping" him by disclosing the evidence they have against his client.
Any help they are offering Mr. Socrates going to be only because they have to, not because they feel their client's case is less "just" than his.
Having spent a lot of time around lawyers myself, the one thing I do understand is that there is a lot of chummy behavior between them that is faker than a $3 dollar bill and most anyone can see that this is not to be mistaken for genuine friendship or goodwill.
They keep it under 3 crystal bells like like my grandma would store a precious shell from her trip to florida in '65 in. Look at the pic:

Does anyone in the UK find this headline the least bit amusing. I wonder if the scholar who came up with this grand scheme considered the PETA folks and what they'd do if they got their crazed mits (as opposed to MITs) on him.
Yeah so what if it does like like the ole wedding gear? the third leg as it were? Don't mean it can't fly straight and turn out that ISS byatch. Look at Wilt (the Stilt) Chaimberlin.
Goody goody! I love them and will make a witty slashdot post about Beowolf and RIAA and MPAA and Microsoft's attempts at disrupting the inherent goodness of these packages.
From one of the articles listed:
"Another reason for selecting the Constellation, Martinage pointed out, may have been that the Kitty Hawk is stationed in Japan, where Japanese government policy prohibits nuclear powered warships to be stationed in its harbors. "
I Can't imagine WHY? I sure hope when one of these things get taken out, that the world is already so fucked that it won't matter. I wonder when using Weapons of Mass destruction like this will be outlawed... oh wait.
...is dangerous and irrational. Big government would like to do this to appease Big Business. There is something that should be done to stop the spammers; make a law WITH teeth.
Stop making the public pay for the unethical (if not immoral) actions of these guerilla marketers. Strike first at the businesses they represent. They will in turn cough up the spammers addresses and non-spoofed IPs.
My company is currently fighting to get out of a contract with our web/e-mail provider because they have been blacklisted. They say they are allowing all their customers to send no more than 50 e-mails per halfhour. They went on to tell me that they may have been blacklisted because a known spammer has attempted to set up their domain with our Provider (name withheld for "benefit of the doubt reasons" at this point). Somehow the Blacklist provider gets wind of this; and Bango we can no longer send e-mail to one of our oldest customers.
I'm sure this isn't news to people, but it was a shock to me. Legitimate companies are being screwed majorly over the (what should be) illegal actions of other illigitimate companies.
Why are the Feds resistant to go after these clowns when they are more than happy to lable someone a terrorist just cause of his choice in headwear.
With M$ you gotta pay for CALs (client access licences) ON TOP of the Client Software (so for every WinXP licensed box your clerks are entering data to, you have to pay for the connection to the server). It's like having a license for the ethernet cable from the PC to the server (an ethernet cable needs to be licensed from Microsoft???). Otherwise no connection to the server is legal. Sure you can run your bunch of Windows servers for arond the same cost: 1/3 more expensive per lic. (not including outrageous Hardware Requirtements for windows = $$$, compared to relatively low Linux req's.) but the client lics. really gouge you.
None of the theories presented in the article say anything about blubber. Reread it please. They talk of Whale Skin. It does sound more plausible (the skin) than a giant squid skin but that's only because we have so few example of these things. They are very rare, but apperently the ones that have washed up on beaches are supposed to feed off blue whales, so to me, there's no reason why it wouldn't grow to be several times the size of the biggest whales.
Why did I get mod'd down on this? Not that I care, my Karma is already terrible, but usually the upset mod will give an explanation: stupid, redundant, rediculous, trite, too Canadian...
Laptops have LCDs built into them. Could that be part of the reason they are outselling CRTs. I still wouldn't buy a LCD because the Dot Pitch is to high and the refresh is fixed at a low level and so my eyes would start bleeding much sooner while I'm playing vids.

A friend's friend for whom I set VNC up for it didn't work to well. The connection was heavily throttled and to slow to be useful.
He did suggest that VNC was only option hence the "/ screen share".
I wonder about other web-based services like GoTo and LogMeIn and whether or not the user info would be able to be subpoenaed from them ala Google.

This is a great post! It could only have been better if you used the term "co-opt" at some point! Great though.
Comodo does have a firewall + antivirus package you might want to check out.

Nothing will change the gaming industry as it is now as large and powerful (more even) than the movie and television industries combined.
I was wondering when someone'd point to the difference between todays NASA and that of our fathers'.
Yeah well did you get the memo about the new TSP reports?
