You're forgetting that you can even take a comfortable night train and sleep while you travel. I do this with my family when we need to cover a "one night's distance". We loose less "wake time" and we arrive in a better shape.
Todays youth is not restricted by the previous generations' inability to parse multiple data sources in quick succesion and is free from the straight jacket linear processing of redundant text
In/. terms I'm an old fart (39) but I like the way you put this. However, don't forget that images as in comics are OK to convey emotions but that they fail horribly at communicating unambiguous information. Can you imagine an RFC as a comic/Graphic Novel? Also, the abilities to write and read well cannot be dismissed.
The mass production of comics -as in non-pop-art- is considered an exponent of American decadency by most cocky Europeans. Comicization of news is mass produced comics at its finest.
Our corporate firewall blocks this famous personal web site I'd like to refer in this discussion.
I'd be happy if you could tell me whether it is still open? If it still has the depth it used to have?
Then again, I vaguely remember, the virtual equivalent of the front of one's home does not really apply here.
You'd never buy an ab-blaster or set of knives while zapping the channels (hoping to find some pr0n), would you?
Still I know a few people that did and were disappointed and I see quite a few parallels with spam.
Oh allow people to act stupid once in their life!
Having said that, how many people haven't yet acted stupid? Maybe I should change business until the magic 80% has been reached. Then again, maybe I shouldn't.
Introducing a tax of 1 penny for each e-mail sent would set the average user back about $1 - $5 a month.
And of course you'd volunteer to set-up the administration office for this. And because of the taxing complexity -taxes are never simple- you'd hire loads of expensive consultants and loads of staff. Oh yeah and the customer service center to repeatedly say the service is sorry for mis-billing you and sorry still so many spam messages are sent...
I'm sorry but I -and one or two other people- will strongly oppose to jobs for life at my costs.
...and picks (of course), the judeo-christian side. That series of events is (predominantly) why the 9/11 attacks happened.
Oh come on US presence in the gulf is about oil. This expensive resource makes US want to "be present in the region" and part of the oil revenue is used to pay for terrorist's arms. Once it isn't a strategic resource any more (when it's finished or when it's made redundant by new technologies), US will loose interest, retreat and the terrorism will stop because it will not be financed any longer. "War against terrorism" is just smooth talk for "we want to secure our oil supply".
The RIAA's fight is different because there always will be enough resources (musicians) out there. Their business model is still lawful and the product music isn't as morally reprehensible as drugs or alcohol.
Also, the RIAA is an intelligent body that will not be pushed aside that easily. A huge change in people's awareness is needed for this to happen. That'll take time.
You leave out the part with the legal proof. The plaintiff complaints and delivers itself the proof consisting of a log that could be compromised or made up.
The judge probably will require more evidence. In a civilized country that is.
IANAL, but you're probably slightly paranoia. Oh and in case of the stinking matter hitting the fan, communicate with them through a lawyer.
My dad was a metal worker and we simply couldn't afford 2kUS$ for a PET Commodore. I hoped he would win the lotto one day but he never did.
I recall begging teachers for CPU time and they refused claiming they needed the school computer for admin tasks (a load of BS.)
A couple of times my brother in law let me in the university where I happily wrote Basic programs and tried out Algol.
The technical school I attended closed the computer room during breaks so I only could use the free time I generated by finishing assignments very quickly.
It wasn't until I was doing my BSc that I had access to a couple of HP systems running Unix.
Nowadays setting up a programming box is dead easy. Linux has never been more easily available and most distros come with a variety of compilers/interpreters for decent languages.
Why should you learn programming through Windows?
Anyway,/. readers once they have interested kids will setup their own Linux/FreeBDS home network (at the latest.)
MS is launching a strategic project to allow fully text based operation of their famous desktop environment.
An MS spokesman commented: We knew very well but came to realize only too late that the command line interface is the mother of human/computer interface. Much like MS-Dos is the mother of mainframe computers.
The following is a sample of fully text based operation commands (TM) that have leaked from the MS laboratories:
- drag-mouse-imps2-to-point [X, Y] # Defaults to middle of "Start" button
- click-mouse-imps2
- click-click-mouse-imps2
- control-alt-delete [USER-NAME/PASSWORD] # Defaults to administrator's credentials
- start-application [APPLICATION_NAME] # Defaults to IE

Just brilliant. The comicization of news.

I'm European and I already love it.

Smooth design! Everybody will be doing flips and twists just to get into a genuine American tzero roadster.
I admire the USA perseverance in a severe fine-taste-vacuum.
So I'm a taste-spoiled Italian. Mod me down buddy.

If it weren't for this recession thang me and my buddies would chip in for a Goatse add ;)
What's pragmatic about having to dive in a pool to make a phone call?
Don't be surprised. That's not really appreciated in USA. Exercise your best blase face.
And don't worry! There's also a hamburger university.
Take this opportunity to learn from other people's culture.
I'm married. I can only imagine what you single guys are doing !!
Them singles still do the deed boy.
When the obvious is to offer a pick-up feature that doesn't involve pressing buttons?
OK that's harder than you might think. Especially during roller-coaster rides.

That was done before in the first batches of Pentium 0.99999999.
If your /. account were to be closed you'd either re-subscribe or move on to a different site. Right?
...before. Two days after he passed away to be precise.
This is the day my karma will drop below freezing.
It's called predictor.
Maybe not exactly your übercool application of choice. But it is definitively the killer biotech application.
So there's no CPU in it.
This line is here 'cause sensible people usually skip silly sigs.
