I sent an email to my two in Michigan, thanking them for trying to stand up for the rule of law. I also asked them why they thought the supposed 'candidate for change' sure doesn't look ready to change how lobbyists control everything. I somehow doubt I'll get a response on that question.
How is this any different than a municipality giving multi-year, decade+ exclusive cable rights to a sole provider, who then never has to share their lines? Or states giving exclusive territories to ILECs. You want to start a new phone company? Forget it, you HAVE TO try to negotiate line sharing with an ILEC which DOES NOT HAVE TO share. Ah monopolistic power at its finest.
Instead this time the minicipality just wants to do it itself. About time, forget the telcos - they don't have to legally share their pipes anymore after the '96 telco reform act was tossed aside by Powell's kid when he helmed the FCC. Screw their 200 billion plus worth of tax rebates to 'connect everyone' that never went anywhere. Now they cry foul when someone gives up waiting - about time!
A local county fair always has booths with people giving away tshirts for signing up to services. Sometimes for as little as giving an email addresses and signing that you want to receive email from them.
Whomever bob@bob.com is, thanks for all the free tshirts your address has given me
Have the linux 64 distro's come up with a way to use wine and flash?
I'm running FreeBSD 7 amd64 on my laptop and for most things it's fine. Except no nvidia driver, no way to run wine, gnash is a hit or miss proposition and there is no adobe flash available.
It's sad that a McDonalds' drive thru is more advanced than a highway. Every drive thru has a height bar to stop the roof being ripped off by a too-tall of a truck.
Have you seen the inside of the average new car nowadays? With proprietary computer diagnostics most corner garages are closing as they can't talk to the cars, hence they can't fix them.
There are also warranty issues. No one but a Toyota dealer would even want to touch a Prius, what with the high voltage special training required. If anything cars are being locked down more and more. The hood is just there to allow you to do the minimum required, fill washer fluid, check a few levels and top off. Otherwise things are locked out.
You do realize plants are storing their waste onsight nowadays? Crack a spent fuel storage cask that's sitting on the shore of Lake Michigan and that might cause some very large problem.
Then again, the storage casks have been designed and upgraded to withstand a direct airplane hit so I'm not overly concerned. I have 2 plants within 50 miles and I still wish we'd start doing breeder reactors to help our energy needs.
And then people wonder why geeks have problems getting into a relationship. We look at a woman and go 'man, once she's kidnapped do I really want to put in that much effort to get her back, since she's just going to get taken AGAIN!'
The rub is with the monopolistic nature of our telco system it's oftentimes impossible for non-ILECs to put in any sort of broadband. Trade secret on a monopoly network doesn't fly for me. What does make sense is a monopoly protecting their monopoly if the locals don't realize how badly they're getting shafted with our existing telcom infrastructure.
Posters are boring, if they don't have a chip embedded in them why bother? This is a question on slashdot and people don't come up with truly geeky solutions, what's up with people!
Why not get some friendly EE's to help wire up some framed LCD monitors so you can have computerized art.
Someone I know had every computer in his home taken for suspicion of child porn. It took a few months but he finally got everything back and no charges were ever filed. They conceded nothing was found and that the open wifi hotspot of his house along a major roadway was probably to blame.
The worse part? The feds kept saying, in his face, "We've found child porn on your computer. How do you explain it." He had been in law enforcement for years and he was shocked at the outright blatant lies told to him about this 'evidence'. No files were found, they just lied.
If we get IP police, I won't be surprised if they take the same handbook from the child porn feds.
Ahh yeah, I want me one of these. Thankfully other/. readers educated me about another shiny thing that I won't get to play with, even if my life depended on it.
Thankfully there are usenet indexing services to find all the pieces of uploaded files. Of course that's only for large multipart binaries, but isn't that what usenet is really used for?
Genarlow Wilson was convicted of a felony charge of aggravated child molestation for being 17 and having oral sex done on him by a consenting 15 year old. He served 2 years of a 10 year term before finally being released.
My first thought when I saw the article title was a cellphone based networked super computer. Something along the lines of Rainbow's End or Halting State.
I wonder how many iphones would be needed to do a cellphone petaflop computer.
Paul got 2nd in NV, after Romney. The NV state GOP convention was recessed indefinitely after it looked like Paul would get a majority of delegates and has yet to be reconvened. There are 2 competing conventions planned to finish the selection. The established GOP doesn't seem to like Paul very much.
I find it amusing that as this year had such a huge turnout of primary voters it just made more problems for the 'old guard' in both camps. Maybe if even more Americans bothered with being involved we'd get something other than the continued Washington Payola cruft.

Oh sure and the US Patriot Act was only for terrorists. It'd never be used improperly or wrongly
Carter pardoned Nixon before he was ever charged with any crimes.
Poppa Bush pardoned 6 people involved with Iran Contra, 1 conviction, 3 guilty pleas, and 2 pending cases.
So how can you be pardoned if you never got in trouble in the first place?

Or the case Simply isn't heard because they can't prove they were suspected terrorists.
As a developer I keep a hotmail account around to test that emails from the site go through without triggering their spam filters.
However I don't trust their spam filters to work. I keep flagging EVERY single message from MSN as spam and I still keep getting them.
I wonder if Dodd's "I will fillibuster any telecom immunity" is still valid - or if that was just during the election cycle.

I agree. There's a reason it's called the legal system and not the justice system. We are in a system of Guilty until proven Innocent.

Why not get some friendly EE's to help wire up some framed LCD monitors so you can have computerized art.- Maybe some electric sheep screen savers running
- or take a page from any blackhat convention and display a running tally of what webpages are being surfed on the local wifi you're sniffing.
- Perhaps a scrolling display of passwords (Not telling the sites or the usernames, just passwords).
- Have a hidden webcam and a matching webcam/screen elsewhere on campus, instant 2 way
- Fake 'windows' of wrong seasons. I'd like to walk down a hallway in summer and see snow flying
The possibilities are endless.There are easier ways to get free porn than to post on slashdot and get lots of goatse or who knows what.
So following your example, I've never had anyone send me money out of the blue to my paypal account.
Ah yes, the trickle down Reagonimics.
The inverse of this is how a $600 check from the government to all tax payers will revitalize the entire US economy.

An Ig Noble award was for Fish Flatulence as a means of communication.
So we just need to create a robotic Bender, that burps and has an exploding ass, to really understand nature.
