So instead of using the Internet to rally and energize the American public into voting for them, they are going to use it to furthor alienate and annoy us with pop-ups? Are they that out of touch that they believe pop-ups are actualy going to give them some sort of edge?
I've read the transcript of what Stern said that supposedly led to his censure, and it was relatively inoffensive compared to some of the stuff I hear coming out of some politician's mouths on C-SPAN.
On Windows, I simply up the screen size by changing from 1024 768 to 800 600. (I wished linux could do this.)
Do some research and find out how to configure x11. It's very easy to change the resolution of the GUI. I'm not sure about how you would go about changing the resolution of a command line, but I'm quite certain it can be done...
I started working in tech when I was in high school, for the school system. This was in a small town, also. (Though it was a relatively large county). Then again, besides that, a few real shit jobs, the job I'm working at now is my first real job. It pays only a little bit higher than what I got paid at the school system, heh.
The one good thing about the school system job was that it wasn't taxed, since it was an educational experience. *shrug*
I have no idea what you are talking about in reference to a transformers toy, but what you described sounds a whole lot like a 60s voice box. These were popular for a while (hey man, the guitar is talking to me), and were comprised of a speaker connected to a tube, which you put in your mouth. The sound would come out of your mouth, and depending on the shape of your mouth at any given moment distorts the sound (frequency and volume wise).
You won't think that when you are imprisoned in a giant beer bubble and the only way to escape is to pop it on the toothpicks at the bottom of the glass.

Truth is, you'll never stop the pirates, the same way you'll never stop people from stealing from other people or cheating on their wives/husbands. There are always more avenues to get what you want than the people who don't want you to have it can think of shutting down.
Well, if 99% of alleys were filled with drug pushers, and 99% of the people who used the alleys were drug pushers, then yes, i'd be supporting shutting down alleys
I agree with your point that if 99% of all activity in alleys were illegal, we should close the alleys.
It's a bit of a cop-out to say that the creators of a network of file sharing systems can't be responsible for its content. There is nothing stopping them from being responsible for the content - they could require shareable files to be hashed and verified before they could be shared.
However, if you are saying that the creators of the filesharing networks are responsible, then the logical extension of your argument would be to say that the builders of the alleys should be held resposible for the actions of those who occupy their creations.
Sorry, but that simply doesn't make sense.

Also, any bill that a majority of the population is for gets lots of tagged on clauses on it that have nothing to do with the actual law. This makes it a lot easier to get your pet law passed if most people wouldn't support it.
After all, it's not like the voting public actualy READS the bills, is it? It could say "u r teh small gas" in section 1.5.8.a.ii for all most people know.

You are FIRED!
So true, that's why most people walk where they want to go, actually write letters, and live only off what the land provides for them.
Links? Here is a longer article with background info.
Same thing with most companies (on all points), Ghost is the messiah.
Yes, and as we learned from that movie, it's OK for the blind to drive vans.

Zeus is so fast that it burns my ass with lighting.
Nothing remotely offensive!? I'm sure a luddite would disagree.
Yes but evolution is slow and the electron is fast. Wait, you'll see. Or at least your grandchildren will see.
Dude, they have these sound-pods you hook up to your printer port now!
You can even build one yourself!
Made famouse by the movie Hackers. (In which steven fisher uses one)
Of course, a lot of parents also think that it's ok for their kids to kill each other in various max gore modes.
Good point. However, by builders I meant the people who created the alleys, not the owners of the property.
It'd be like saying that if someone breaks their neck on your door step, they go and sue the architect.

It will take LESS fuel, not more fuel, to launch from the moon due to the lower escape velocity (no atmospheric friction, decreased gravity).
No ready source of hydrogen? It's the most abundant element in the universe...
