This is not a"right-wing" nutjob conspiracy that the mainstream media is falsely categorizing it as. Their attempts to debunk the results of this citizen investigation are laughable. They 1st article that ran a piece that claimed it was debunked was the New York Times, which did not even begin to respond to the damning evidence that has been uncovered.

The mainstream media is lying to everyone and attempting to cover this up. Just go and read the Podesta wikileaks emails for yourselves. Podesta likes to play dominoes on pizza, likes to get a pizza "for an hour". Everyone needs to do the world a favor and dig into the evidence and make a determination for themselves, rather than taking the "fake news" mainstream media at face value. These are the same propaganda rags that said Hillary had a 98% chance to win.
It is clear from previous Mozilla discussions that their operation has become overrun by middle managers that don't actually do anything except fuck things up. I had my last straw with Firefox this week when it crashed on YouTube several times. It is kind of a relief to see this story; now I can leave and never look back.
Under the current system, it's idiotic for sellers to leave feedback for buyers right when they get the payment and ship the item. Too many buyers will give negative feedback for slow shipping or any number of reasons simply because they don't understand the communication process involved with buying from someone on ebay. If a buyer isn't satisfied they should be contacting the seller but many don't. Buyers will simply leave negative feeback if they weren't 100% satisfied and giving them negative feedback back is the only thing keeping this from running rampant.
Do US schools censor educational internet sources for a subject like WWII? Nope Are students encouraged to become proficient in the use of primary sources? Yup
Just because a textbook might be censored (a better word for most of them would be "incomplete") doesn't mean you can discredit the entire educational system.
In addition to those links, I'd like to add that at the beginning of the recent war on iraq, there was television coverage of some US apache pilots using hellfire anti-tank/artillery heat seeking missles to attack buildings. Needless to say they missed their target =/. They would have been better off with their regular rockets which actually have a straight flight path.
I agree with what this article has to say, that television has become the medium of choice for new "artists." These artists are of course less artistic and more a product of the industry, which makes TV perfect for them. The new pop stars are just shooting all the angles with this television thing, radio will always have its place for new, real artists, not to mention DJ's and people who enjoy classic hits.
If they can't find a way to make the large majority of their connections profitable and send warning notices the the remaining small minority, they don't deserve the free business they get b/c of the increase in file sizes and increase in the amount of casual music, movie, etc downloaders.
Look at SBC, they charge $29.99 for DSL in many areas and they still have the green left over to throw at lawyers to avoid having the customers that are most expensive to them (always uploading) get in trouble. File sizes also aren't increasing as much as you say across the board. Movies have gone down in size from 3 cds to 2 or 2 cds to 1 in many cases due to better encoding (xvid). MP3 sizes have only ballooned slightly (most people are content with 128 kbps and the few that insist on 192/variable don't have a very big increase in size to tackle.
You make it sound like the end of the internet is coming...
Colleges are increasingly unwilling to put up with the endless and expensive tide of non-academic traffic eating up literally all of the bandwidth, and are capping and closing ports right and left.
Not a problem, they just throttle use and all is well
Right now we're in a pre-commercial stage of video on demand Again, not a problem, the only person losing in this is the idiot of believes the on-demand hype and buys in to the prices that turn the wheels.
I take any ebay guideline with a grain of salt, I think it comes down to what they will enforce. A decent amount attention is required to get anything not way out of line with their guidelines removed from their listings... Some policies ebay follows through on poorly IMO, for example: Unreasonable shipping or handling costs Keywords describing bonus items cannot be included in the title of a listing. Excessive use of keywords, including (but not limited to) brand names, which are referenced for the purpose of attracting or diverting buyers to a listing is considered keyword spamming and is not permitted.
Non-tangible item auctions pass through the system constantly (URL links, pyramid schemes, domain names (allowed I think), online game accounts/items, etc). Ebays policy is just more complicated than rules such as "you cant sell something that doesnt physically exist." Additionally, their rules are circumvented often and really a function of what they are willing to enforce. They enforce the adult content in the adult area rule very well, for example, but you will see things like "alienware comparable computer" all the time.
The way I see it, its not about the networking knowledge of the user, but about their general intelligence and then that of their friends/contacts/roommates/siblings/whatever. Universities can minimize worm damage by simply notifying of the problem, and an intelligent person who realizes they need help will find one of their geek friends they know who will help them out. This is my guess as to why the univ. would not require upperclassmen to have machines checked. Its always mentioned on slashdot, but it shouldn't be necessary for everyone to know their system from the inside-out.
I haven't seen anyone mention gaming or multiple users yet, and have seen a lot about prices. Broadband prices make sense if you are sharing a connection between a few users. Sure broadband is overpriced a lot, but it is a must for anyone playing a game online, be it counter-strike or tetris.

You can't solve the social problem of sexism/racism with this, although it *sounds* ideal. People are born into categories that are inequal, and equal opportunities aren't enough to give them what they deserve - a fair chance. I know that as a white male I'll gladly give up my spot at the state univ. if it will mean the university becomes less segregated. Then and only then, after the situation of unequal footing due to race/sex has been improved through getting to know people of other backgrounds more personally, we can say an equal opportunity is enough.

Please don't vote for Hillary just because she is a woman. We can't continue the oligarchy that is the US government leadership.
The point is that I just saved several hundred people from having to look it up.
No you didn't, Project Natal has been in the news plenty (Microsoft was even sending it to Late Night shows over a year ago to gauge reactions).
You won't stop faster with ABS, especially in snow/rainy conditions. Agree with the rest of your post however.

What about the E3 Demo? This thing was playable a LONG time ago.
I'm pretty sure our doom "vaporware" existed only at games.slashdot.org.
Regardless, a date is always nice, although it doesn't guarentee anything (even with pre-orders).
