Too bad he didn't bother listing B as well. Created in 1969, ancestor of C which reaced release in 71. see that on a resume and you know he's lying. I don't think it ever got out beyond the research lab taht created it and there probably fewer than 100 ppl on earth who could program this instant in it without an extensive review.
Exactly, we should let them have the Internet, it is screwed up already. WE shoudl start from scratch (with the knowledge we ahve agained0 and build a btter one that only americans can access. Support it with us tax dollars so whenver soeone else starts complaining about access they can get it but only by paying for the privalege.
The more government gets involved with anything, the more fucked up it gets.
This is like taking all the most fucked up managerial ideas in history and rolling them all into one. Its like having someone who knows nothing about cars deciding the specifications for an engine. They have no fucking clue how it works. It isn't like their regular social programs they regularly screw which are somewhat forgiving when politicians screw them up. You mess up a soup kitchen, the poor probably won't starve, they'll just find somewhere else to get food. Computers are no where near as forgiving. Just watch, they'll probably come up with some 'great comprimise' implement it on the net and then wonder why the fuck it complete crashed the every server on earth.
Let's face it, if we had a cent for every IQ point our leaders have, the sum total of our entire government wouldn't be enough to buy a happy meal at McDonald's. That being said, do we really want to trust these people with determining the best policies for the system???
You're forgetting that if you're a dormer you can't opt out of the university one. You pay for it whether you use it or not and so your analogy doesn't hold. No one forces people in the community I live to pay for a connection they don't want. As for research, how much bandwidth does research actually take anyway? A few websites at most. The only major bandwidth use of the dept. network connection at the university I go to is the system admin downloading ISO's for the OS's he puts on the computers. Other than that, the univerisity could run on a 56k connection and not notice.
In other words, if one of their students now finds a way around ICARUS and is caught by the RIAA, the university is also liable. They took the obligation of monitoring their networks thereby becoming responsible for the actions that take place on that network. So the civil disobediance reaction to this policy is clear: find a work around, do it anyway, and when you get caught take the univerity down with you. Not that I am advocating that or anything, there is almost always a more legal way to protest, but I doubt anyone will be able to hear you from the 'free speech zones'.
Dude, I think you missed the point. We are exploring Mars in search of life. If we bring it there oursleves and it overruns the planet, not only will it make any indigenous life even more difficult to find but it may also wipe out any indigenous life forms. Using your analogy, if your looking for a tree, then don't nuke the forest.
Play video games. Maybe even explore that mysterious region nown as outside. I have even heard that the world does not end beyond the view I get from the window, that in fact it goes beyond the limits of what I can see. I of course do not believe this but you never know...
I think he means a major disaster on a part of the Internet: like say a new map came out and the results showed a massive drop in the number of connected servers.

Disorganized speech, delusional thinking... schizophrenia, dude, schizophrenia.
um... yeah.
Do you mean ++C or ++(++C) ?

I've been meaining to write my resume out on the old PDP cards...
Isn't PHP as scripting langauage and not a programming langauge?
No, to do that you would need to use synchonized threads.
Would be even nicer if I got more than 4 hours sleep a night. Fatigue and correct speeling don't mix.

yeah, I know. We built the thing after all. I don't remember Malaysia ever funding Darpa.

Can America trust its voters (and those they vote for)? A quick look at some of the people in office, and one starts to wonder...

You fail it!

Actually, it isn't even as old as the Earth. So if you ever have to choose between Earth wine or moon wine, choose vintage Earth!
Hubble's a marine, a real trooper. But why take a chance?
