I've read a few of your posts on this thread mostly FUD but you speak like you have a stake in this debate. You seem to equate unlawful with immoral which is a weak position in general. Having a beer with friends was no more or less moral ten days after prohibition was repealed than it was two weeks earlier. Likewise p2p is a generally excepted practice and according to the research not a major source of revenue "loss" for producers.
ok i can think of one slightly funny use for this put a dns server on this network that returns the ip of a server on the network for all requesats then put a mock google on that server and return nothing but links to http://www.techkwondo.com/projects/bedouin/about.h tml for all searches containing the word goat and porn.
I suspect it's not only Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch and Howard Stern who don't care what you think. Your view of evolution is worse than one-dimensional. What I'm saying is fitness is not a synonym for strength. Survival of the fittest means literally survival of the most appropriate. To say that the US (or our if you prefer) unilateral actions are inappropriate for the modern world is to say the US is unfit to survive in it's current state. That's not to say that US foreign policy can't evolve. Here's hoping for an accurate vote count next time.
Machiavelli also wrote "it is far better to earn the confidence of the people than to rely on fortresses." I have no confidence in this administrations ability to govern and thus question the parent posters ability to discern.
before our first real date I was telling the my now girlfriend that I'm a programmer so I like buttons and flashing lights. she promised to go to our first date dressed in a police car.
The prosecutor's fall under the DOJ the DOJ is under the executive branch the slap on the wrist compromise was a result of backpedaling under the control of the president.
Question: how is ripping a copy of a CD you own a use that harms anyone? Obviously you have a funny idea of harm modifying a gun or a car can make them physically more dangerous there is no software modification you can make to a PC that would cause them to harm a human being physically. What is the physical or psychological damage inflictid by exerciseing fair use rights??
If I hadn't already commented in this thread I would be moding your post up. You make a very cogent argument, However I wouldn't characterize most of the posts I've read as "self congratulatory" disgusted and dealing with it through humor is more accurate.
Yeah but find me a coder who actually thinks that his/her nontrivial code will run correctly on the first execution. It's endemic to the belief system of politicians to think the poor decisions they are making are correct and without flaw. There's a reason they seem confident on camera, they have no clear concept of their own fallibility.
Why just existing operators? There should be an incentive to enter the market. Unfortunately the FCC has been favoring consolidation of the market's it has touched for the past decade or more.
"Just like any other piece of productivity software, if you think it's the hammer for every nail you're going to get a nasty surprise before too long."
Of course, I agree with your main point and only took slight issue with the way you expressed it.
Now in the interest of international solidarity I would like to present you with this commemorative Lady Liberty coffee mug and handy British to American dictionary and phrase book.:)
Unfortunately the article only talks about electrical switching of an optical signal so the chip itself still needs electricity to do the heavy lifting and number crunching. Once they figure out how to make optical switching of an optical signal work then your chip should run pretty cool. But on the up side an optical buss connecting your processor and memory as well as your peripherals may be in your future.

how about WAR Relay then you just run until you get an uplink to the person infront of you.

Making said browser unable to be uninstalled from OS = Bad
that is the difference between giving people what they want and abusing a monopoly
Isn't the real money for performers in concert seats and merchandise?
are you running mozilla under windows 2000? I've had problems with firefox, firebird, Mozilla 1.6 and Netscape 7.1 on two diferent win2k machines.
Especially if somone hands you a box of screws. :)

think optical bus. on chip optics in a cpu means no more communications bottlenecks when accessing offchip memory.
