The last hop before Google's network, from my SBC DSL, is 151.164.251.10, resolving to asn1169-google.eqabva.sbcglobal.net. They are already paying SBC for connectivity, among other ISP's.
That's like saying that if my neighbour buys a car and doesn't use it as often as I use mine, I should have to pay more money.
You do pay more. Not just in the form of gas, but also in the TAXES on that gasoline. Ostensibly, the gas taxes are used to fund roadways. With the advent of hybrids and other advances in mileage, some states (most notable Oregon) have been investigating a mileage-based system for charging back use of the public roadways. In theory, the more you use the roads (the internet) the more you pay in taxes (your internet bill).
The airline industry is a private corporation, not a federally run operation.
Except that said private corporations said "there is a secret FAA regulation that requires us to check your ID. You want to see it? Well, it's secret, and you'll just have to trust us." This same line was repeated by the FAA.
What is more disturbing is the trend that if you walk down the street and are required to present identification by police.
Trend nothing.. Hibel vs. Nevada gave the absolute right to ask someone for the ID, and when not proffered, be placed under arrest.
Grocery stores can, and DO, track individual purchases. Recently, a fire fighter was suspected in an arson because his card had shown as purchasing the accelerant used in the fire. It wasn't until someone else confessed that he was cleared. The DEA has subpoenaed records looking for people purchasing large numbers of baggies. A large grocery store, in the aftermath of 9/11, turned over to the FBI their entire loyalty database of purchases and purchasers, without so much as a subpoena, to "help find and fight terrorists."
Simply because he's a shareholder does NOT mean he gets to ask a question. Anyone who has seen Roger & Me can attest to Michael Moore's lack of success in asking his question at the GM annual shareholder meeting.
Isn't 99 cents too much to pay for music that appeals to just a few people?
Uhhh, no.. That's what market forces are all about. It's about what it's worth to the people wanting to buy it. In fact, if it only appeals to a few people, it would stand to reason that it should cost MORE, not less. Granted, the more popular songs need to pay for things like bribes to Clear Channel, err, uhhh, I mean "promotional considerations", since payola is a thing of the past. Even so, the more niche something is, either the more cheaply it is made, the less its profit margin is, or the more it costs, simply because of the economy of scale.

Thow whole point of encryption in particular, as well as security in general, is to make it hard enough that by the time you get to something, it is useless. Whether that is by throwing enough roadblocks to getting to a protected system or making it take n hundred years to decrypt something, the end result is security.
It's called an aggregation attack. If you have all the pieces but the SSN, not only is it relatively trivial to obtain access to the SSN, but it's pretty much superceded by everything else.
Sounds like pointer problems or buffer overruns to me.
Hate to break it to ya, sunshine, but the BES, which I'm assuming BBC to have been using, is a big, bloated, memory hog, daily recycle requiring, Java application.

Aside from the math being hard, he complains that the parties were dull.
Brian Johnson: I'm in the physics club too. John Bender: Excuse me a sec. What are you babbling about? Brian Johnson: Well, what I had said was I'm in the math club, uh, the latin, and the physics club... physics club. John Bender: Hey, Cherry. Do you belong to the physics club? Claire Standish: That's an academic club. John Bender: So? Claire Standish: So academic clubs aren't the same as other kinds of clubs. John Bender: Ah... but to dorks like him, they are. What do you guys do in your club? Brian Johnson: Well, in physics we... we talk about physics, properties of physics. John Bender: So it's sorta social, demented and sad, but social. Right?
Sorry, but as soon as this goes out, faster than you can say "Arrrrrr, Matey", someone is going to publish a patched version that removes this. Welcome to the world of OSS: If you don't like it, compile it yourself.

I'm pretty sure they all make them publically (or at least attribute what they say to themselves).
All politicians identify their comments. Some just need a grand jury indictment or revolution in their favor to do so.

what I'd really like to see is a service where I type in some lyrics and the song information pops up.
RDS is part of what you're looking for. Most stations seem to broadcast artist and title information through it.
In another 10 years, I expect that they will call out the HAZMAT team for any reported spills of dihydrogen monoxide.
Hopefully hydrogen hydroxide will still be considered safe!!

Using the Internet to watch a network newscast is like going to a newsstand and getting USA Today.
USA Today is available at newsstands? What will they think up next?!

Those pressurized pens that write underwater and upside down are cool. That and I don't think you'll hear anyone deny Tang is pretty sweet!
I'm waiting for the more environmentally friendly Hoverbike to be released!
Cell phones are already wildly restrictive. That you could use a chip to limit what can be done on a cell phone is hardly new or interesting..

Should it be really surprising that they do this? They're going to turn their back on a country that is 20% of the world's population?
