alright so I spelled Constitution wrong... I'm on my lunch break and was trying to get the thing typed out fast...
And I just got this....
Slow down cowboy!
Slashdot requires you to wait 1 minute between each submission of/comments.pl in order to allow everyone to have a fair chance to post.
It's been 60 seconds since your last submission!
Did I miss a class in grade school that talked about how time was divided up into smaller segments. I *thought* 60 seconds and a minute were the same thing...
Okay... so the richest 10% of the nation are paying up to 1/3 of the taxes in this nation... I don't see the problem. If you have huge amounts of money, you *SHOULD* pay more taxes than anyone else. The amount of tax money taken out of a 2-million dollar-per year income *SHOULD LOGICALLY* be ALOT more than the portion taken out of a $150,000/year income.
Why *SHOULD* they? Where in the consitution does it says that the rich *MUST* support the poor? That the rich *MUST* pay more taxes? Just because they have more money means they must give more of it to the government?
So does your reasoning also dictate that rich people *SHOULD* pay more for a can of coke than or poor person? Why does it seem that the only thing that has a different price for different classes is taxes. If a rich person and a poor person go to buy a car, it costs the same. Why shouldn't it cost each of us the same to pay for the "services" the Federal Government provides us? Of course you can't put a dollar figure on that number, so we do it with percentages. Yes the rich don't feel it as much, but they are spending *A WHOLE LOT MORE* on the "services" from the Feds (defense, foodstamps, whatever...) then the non-rich.
Also, was it just me, or did Gore have waaaaaaay to much coffee or something before the debate last night?
Already happens with Insurance companies charging more for different demographics.
They do this because statistically those demagraphics cost them more to insure. 16 year olds are more likely to get in accidents than 35 year olds. This is more a facter of inexperience than breaking the law.
Are you saying that this tax is the same as insurance companie's pricing policies? Will 16 year old computer purchasers have to pay more than 35 year old computer purchasers because they are *more* likely to use Napster?
Last time I checked you didn't need a license to buy computer equipment, so why should everybody who buys a CD-Burner be levied a tax? Statistically, are owners of CD-Burners more likely to commit copyright infringements?
1) RH Runs MySQL. 2) The RPMs for Apache just don't cut it with a high volume site. You need to optimize Apache for whatever it is you really need. You include the modules you need and exclude the one's you don't. Plus I'm sure they have a few custom modules they need to include.

Hmm, kind of gives you that warm fuzzy feeling again about Napster, doesn't it :)

It must be true, that's why Clinton eased up on exporting crypto.
We must have stolen it from isreal...
Now the feds don't care if we export PGP to russia...
