If they came from a good school like Cal Tech or Stanford, then these problems simply wouldn't exist. The upper-crust schools simply teach better and weed out the students with poor values.
Its a troll to suggest that the people who might want to use Tor legitimately can't do so because of Slashdot's hypocrisy? What about people in places where Slashdot is blocked?
And how do you know Tor was used to post those ASCII swastikas?
I like how many in the 'free market' crowd thinks that the government granting special privileges to companies.. whether it be DMCA protection or laws against copying files to be an example of "the free market at work".
Here is a clue: when the government gets involved to enforce special protections in the marketplace, its not a free market.
Here is a collorary: If Lexmark doesn't like other companies making cartridges that work in their printers, they have the choice of producing more competitively priced cartridges or geting out of the market altogether. THAT is the free market solution.
Unfourtunately there are many Soviet era nuclear weapons that cannot be accounted for. You can tell who made the nuke, but what good does it do in this situation?
The collapse of the Soviet Union was only a mixed blessing, at best. Much very dangerous weapons technology that was spread around the Soviet occupied nations was left to be looted, stolen, and sold on the black market
I don't have the same experience. Partly because the same marketplace analogies don't apply well here.
I tried fighting Time Warner for about a year to solve the issues with the physical infrastrcture in the neighborhood that was causing packet loss and complete loss of service for days at a time. This only happened maybe once every few months, but when it happened, it often lasted for several days. I called them out several times to "fix" it, but by the time they make it out, it is working again and they always assume it is something I did and they just replace a splitter or two, which never solved the problem the next time it creeps up. After several iterations of this, I did manage to get them to replace some of the coax they own that comes into my property, but it never solved the problem.
Would a municipal fiber run be any better? I don't know. What I do know is that if the city screws up garbage service, people complain and the elected officials in charge know that they may be out of a job come next election cycle if they don't do anything. What I do know is that the city goes out of the way to maintain a good standard of service.
Definitely a good question. The airwaves are all already "public". In amateur radio, the FCC has rules against bad language, their reasoning being that a child may accidentily intercept a rude conversation (yes, this is what they say on the license exam).
It seems interesting that the same rules don't apply to analog cell phones or cordless phones - a child with the same type of receiver can intercept the same communications. The only difference is that it is illegal to intercept these communications. Would the FCC lock away kids with police scanners who "accidentily" tuned into a cordless phone from next door and heard a salacious conversastion?
The libaries work. Our local roads are in good repair and they just got finished doing an overlay to make it smoother. The local DMV even goes out of their way to help me renew my license and gets it done expiediently.
The reason why many people want municipal broadband is becuase the local companies are not providing adequate service. The local telco may not want to build out to some neighborhoods because its not profitable, despite demand. Government could provide service with only minimal impact on the taxpayers as a whole.
Government would do alot better job in some instances. Your cable co. may not find it profitable to bring data service to the fringes of town where as a county or city government could do the job without being restricted by questions of profitability. It could also bring a much better level of access to the consumer - when you have local area businesses who pay more taxes than individuals and familes do, this could help bring good wifi coverage or multi-megabit fiber to the doorstep. The telco wont be doing this any time soon.
There is no practical reason for government to get into gasoline service or supermarkets. The practicality of municipal broadband, however, does exist.
If you don't want to be recorded, then don't call people. If you come to my house or call me for that matter, then expect to have your privacy invaded.
thatis a very immature response i have been reading the thread here and youve been having a temper tantrum because you were proven wrong. man you just need to cool down and get over it or something, dude, chill
As a person who ships stuff alot, I can definitely assure you that UPS really has poor standards when it comes to handling packages.
When I first opened, I chose UPS. Customers constantly complained about smashed boxes, broken parts, and dents. The stuff was packed well (not any worse than I've packed stuff in the past for use with USPS)

I would rather Cal Tech grads, personally.
You mean like Hitler's infamous Beer Hall Putsch?
What if the proxy is blocked? Slashdot is blocking proxies at every turn.
I was replying to multiple people.
What exactly do Clinton's blowjobs have to do with anything again?

There are only two modded down posts in his post history. The majority of his posts are actually modded UP.
So its not OK for Clinton to try to keep his personal life personal but its OK for Bush to poorly correlated and investigated intelligence?
The veracity of the WMD claims were in major doubt by the world BEFORE we attacked Iraq. Its not some shock that there were no WMDs.

If you got fined for going 5 mh over the limit, you deserved the fine.
5mph is definitely within the possible error of the gun.
Why?

Should people from out of town who don't pay our taxes be forbidden from using roads that city tax dollars pay for?

BSD userland != BSD kernel.
OS X runs on a Mach kernel.
i dont believe he said anything about refusing to post the information
I would like to see it too though but he didn't "refuse" to post it.
They may be illegal, but obviously it hasn't put a stop to it. No matter how screwed up CAN SPAM is, at least its being enforced to some extent.
