This guy has a point. AFAIK, ISOC is also in charge of IAB and IETF. If you're worried about ISOC's membership, then you should worry about your Internet Standards.
Isn't there a law in the US of A that basicly (very basicly) says "If your charging for it/running it as a part of company infrustructure, then you need to change to fit in with the public free users" ??
Of course not. Those public free users are obviously Evil Terrorist Commie Content Pirates(tm), and should be kicked off in favor of the Good American Patriotic Capitalist(tm) company!
Every science and math teacher thinks that everyone sees the world / problem set in their eyes
I think that this is a bigger problem than most people realize. Most math teachers in Jr. High and up (I leave out Elementary, because they're generalists) tend to have strong math backgrounds (or so I hope). Thus, it's second nature to them. I have problems helping my kids with their math, because I look at their problems (basic arithmetic) and just know the answer.
Luckily, I am well aware of my limitations, and know that "I don't understand why you don't understand!".
Think about it. Who would you rather have as your basketball coach? Michael Jordan or Kurt Rambis? Me, I'd prefer Rambis... It's too easy for Jordan. I bet he couldn't even explain how or why he does some stuff. Rambis, on the other hand, while talented, wasn't quite as much a "natural" as Jordan, and had to work at it and learn it.

He thought the idea of intellectual property to be a bit kooky.
Man, it's a good thing he's not alive! The RIAA and MPAA would have him arrested as an Evil Content Pirate(tm)!!!!!

Clearly a blatant rip-off.
indicate the last 5 months of the year
If you're Enron or WorldCom... For most of us, the fourth quarter is the last 3 months of the year.
Haven't you seen the decontamination scenes yet?
Actually, Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) was much more attractive than Troi.
Mmmmmm.... red hair!
Now if they could only have done something about the 24th century giving people big noses (Stewart, McFadden, Spiner)!
There are plenty of us out there to nit pick the entire Star Trek canon :-)
May I recommend Nitpicker's Central for nitpicking Star Trek?

Because SCSI is now divided into two parts -- physical and logical.
SCSI-3 is a protocol that can run on top of:
Parallel SCSI cable
Fibre Channel
FireWire
TCP/IP (iSCSI)
etc...
Five comments and its /.'ed!
To be honest, when I first read the piece, my reaction was "What have they done with the REAL Declan"?
Declan, did you get bought out or something?
You mean you haven't seen the IBM z-Series supporting Linux commercials? (Stolen Server)
Oops. Dopey me.... or perhaps I should simply ay...
DOH!
Sure... it's all coincidence... That's just what THEY want you to believe. :-P
HP engines aren't any good since Carly took over. THey should use IBM engines instead.

"We 0wn J00!"
My personal guess is that Klingons are allergic to tribbles.
Sorry, I meant "are persons", not citizens.
It would seem that the simplest solution to corporate power is to write legislation overturning the ruling that corporations are citizens.
Actually, a year ago, one would have contacted Compaq about Tru64.
A lot of people seem to be saying, "Just use a good GC".
But from reading the Valgrind docs, it's more than just a GC. It checks for accessing memory through uninitalized variables, too... Very cool.
Disclaimer: I have not used valgrind yet, just read the online docs
