Bram Cohen is a smart guy, but he does not properly capitalize on his ideas.
This is precisely what he is trying to do. And he does take all those things about smaller sites, etc. He signed up with the big boys now. He want to clear the way for his "new" friends. He has no interest in what happens to the small timers. Make no mistake, he's using he "geek clout" to convince us that what's good for WB is good for the internet. I hope that nobody falls for it. Ah, the power of money. Quite a bear trap it is.
They should call it "Norton Network Security", since it seems to block most local traffic also. My big question is whether I should wait until the subscription expires before unistalling it, or rip it out now to save on future headaches.

Can you tell that I'm more of a Bakunin-ist than a Marxist?
Marxist, but even he recognized that the power of the state must ultimately, I believe he called it, "whither and die". And I can't remember if it was Lenin or Stalin who said that the state shall remain as strong as ever. Memory...getting foggy. Bakunin seems to have been a straight up anarchist. The funny thing is, how can he be a nihilist(as was claimed) if he published all those books? He must have been a neo-nihilist.
Humans naturally desire more to cooperate than to dominate...
Just posted before this something similar to what I'm repeating here. You're attributing what exists in all lifeforms to be exclusively human. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, that's what made it possible for life to evolve...or even function. And remember one group of lifeforms might cooperate in order to dominate another. Our self awareness is really the only thing that seperates us from the animals. Presently our motivations are identical, to the very last detail, with the exception being that humans codify it in written works. This is why I won't differenciate between liberals and conservatives. When you get to basics, you find identical motivations. When we are evolved enough to be called human or sentient, willing to give up up anything for nothing in return, we will all be anarchists. Cooperation without domination. Rules without rulers.
We have the genetic capacity for both cooperation and competition, but tend toward the former because in most situtations it is the most efficient.
The more proper concept would be "following the path of least resistance". If nature was efficient, all rivers would flow straight to the sea. Actually, efficiency is strictly a human concept(like good and evil). It is concerned with time, where nature only cares about effort at any particular moment.
We settled down and gave up hunting and gathering.
You mean there really was a Camelot? Or was it Babylon?:)
If you thoroughly read the entire post, you would have seen this, Every bit as much as any so-called conservative. I had no idea you wanted names.
It's not a liberal/conservative thing.
You will never hear me say that it is. The point is that all life forms(at least in this solar system) are motivated by the same thing, no matter how you label it. The only difference is their methods.
If you think true communism is about domination, then you obviously don't understand communism. Now, the so-called liberals like Hillary Clinton, Diane Feinstein, or Al Gore, yes, they want to dominate. Every bit as much as any so-called conservative. I use the term "so-called" as used in the context of the mass media definition. The prefix "neo" belongs in front of both. People who express genuine feelings on either side don't crave the limelight.
On another note, it cannot be denied that everybody harbors some desire for domination over others. How it is expressed depends totally on the individual. That's as natural as the sunrise.
FREE!!! OPEN SOURCE!!! Get yours today!!! See, public relations have their key words, too. It's an ad! And everybody fell for it. It's the developer's version of a "white sale" at Pennys
...but I hope you can also see that Liberalism/Conservatism are comparative terms.
In their means possibly...but not in their goals of total domination. In that context, they are identical. The state shall remain strong as ever, paraphrasing a famous Russian.
Private funding, community funding, it makes no difference to me. Having it up and running is the goal. Just keep it straight up and competent. Both methods of funding have difficulties in those departments sometimes.

...the only way you can vote 10 times for president is to move to Chicago and die...
Heh, tell that to Diebold. And the rule in Chicago is to vote early and vote often.
I just learned what YHBT means :) Tell you what, select some white text, and...
Why would they use black bars, when all that needs to be done is to color the font white? Won't that save ink also?
Oh look! American Idol is on!
US pop show victor attracts more votes than any president

Cool. So now I can change the region code one more time.

Micosoft's Office is too fast. My computer can't keep up and then freezes. Slow and easy...that's the way I like it.

-New version of Solitare
SOLD!
And it will create a whole genre of zombie movies. "Attack of the Living Dead"
Heh. They should call it the "Microsoft Promiscuous License". Because with Microsoft, chances are you're gonna get..er..screwed.
SourceForge is a corporation?
Yes.
