Unfortunately the 128Kbps uplink still blows, and they block port 80 so no running webservers on standard ports--though of course any servers are technically against the contract.
I had always thought that one of the selling points behind DSL was the freedom to run your own mail and web servers. Is this contract restriction a new innovation?
I have a suspicion that books like this were something like travelogues for those living before the mid-20th century. But I have heard that Melville was always attempting to make a real point with the book. What that point actually was escapes me though. Maybe I need to go back and read it again now that I'm older. It might make more sense this time.
What happens after the two months? Could you sleep really heavily for a few days, go back to normal for a few more days, and then go back to the 3-hour-sleep schedule for two more months?
I'm not really sure. They said that the guy they tested it on became extremely irritable and started falling asleep involuntarily. So they just ended the experiment right there.
The other guy that responded to you seemed to have more complete information though, so I'd go with what he says.
For those who don't know what lucid dreams are; they are dreams in which you know you are dreaming, and can therefore control your dream in any way you want - fly, breathe underwater, whatever.
You know what's always missing from lists of things you can do while lucid dreaming? Yes, that's right: sex. Why is it that nobody puts this in a list of things to dream about? Especially since it's the one thing you *know* everybody is thinking.
We read about this in Psychology class. The textbook said that the schedule doesn't work long-term: even though you get more REM sleep, you don't get all of the physical rest that you normally get. It supposedly breaks down after about 2 months. According to my textbook. But they may be wrong. They're psychologists, after all.:-)
I read Moby Dick for a book report in 8th grade. The story itself is compelling but the mindless detail on completely tangential subject matter makes it nearly impossible to get through. The cook's Sermon to the Sharks is entertaining though. So there are at least 3 pages that are interesting.

Huh? Absolutely everybody knows that everything on the radio is an ad. I've never met anybody who believes that DJs still choose the music that gets played. It hasn't been that way for ages and everyone knows it.
Certainly. But they have to hear it first. And this is all about trying to get your song into the largest number of ears. You can make the finest music possible; but if no one knows about it, you're not going to sell any copies of it. What most people don't realize is that record labels are more or less marketing and sales firms.
If US companies want to ousource, fine, just quit giving them taxpayer dollars (corporate welfare)
You need to clarify. Are you talking about tax breaks (not taking as much of their money) or actually subsidizing them (giving them money to keep them afloat)? If it's the former, it's not welfare.
OOG OPENSOURCE CAVEMAN SEE OGA OPENSOURCE CAVEWOMAN OTHER DAY. OOG TRY 'GET JIGGY' BUT OGA PUSH HIM AWAY. TURN OUT OGA JUST WANT ANIMAL SKINS. OF COURSE, OOG GIVE IN. OOG WANT 'LITTLE OOG' BE HAPPY! NEXT TIME, OOG JUST BREAK OPENSOURCE CD OVER OGA HEAD AND DRAG AWAY.
This is to kill the stupid lameness filter. Dumb lameness filter. The lameness filter is lame. That's why they call it the lameness filter. Blah blah blah blah blah. The *real* OOG doesn't do all this crap. The real OOG can post anything he wants, dammit! The real OOG doesn't bother with lowercase letters or definite articles. Is that enough yet, lameass filter? Ah, good. It is. Really kills the humor of the parody though.
Exactly. Let the free market decide what solutions are best and at what costs. But besides all that, what's this business about Linux "depreciating the value of the software industry"? Linux often makes the IT industry more efficient and effective. Even software businesses can profit from it. Hell, even Microsoft can profit from Linux by writing and selling software for it. Ignorance, we have met thee, and thy name is Ken Brown.
This guy's schizophrenic. He has no idea how odd he sounds. To him, everybody else around him is just oppressing him. And the more of that he gets, the more convinced he is of a conspiracy to hide the "hidden truth" he's found. It's really kind of sad.
Personally, I've had it with the Anglo-centric nature of Slashdot! Don't those arrogant Englishmen know that there is a world outside the UK? Why, I'm *personally offended* that they don't spend every waking moment being considerate of those whose slang differs from their own!

That's most likely what I was thinking of.

Ahh, well that explains it. That's kind of bizarre though, actually. You can have "normal" dreams about sexual activity and not wake up.
A communication breakdown.

Well, the person calling will say "ping." The person answering will obviously reply with a "pong."

It's not supposed to work that way. But the Constitution has been routinely ignored for 150 years or so anyway, so it hardly matters.
My, aren't we kind today?

Exactly. Why people are so enamored of the U.N., I'll never understand. Transnational progressivism is the biggest fraud of the last century.
Explain.

When you get caught, show them that there's no tape inside and gloat.
(Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
