My short wave radio was my most trusted source. I still use it a lot. I like having stories read to me. And it shows the continued advantage of wireless. Screen readers sound so robotic. Does anybody have a "Walter Winchell" voice that I could download?
Illegal or not, they're still showing more muscle than freedom loving, anti-war geeks, or freedom hating, fascist war-mongers for that matter(which one are you?). "Unity" is the word of the day here. Learn about it. Use it. Our freedoms are much more important than some arbitrary legal status.
These are the content based issues that will destroy the internet and our personal freedom of speech.
It may divide the internet, but it won't destroy it. Further developement in wireless networks will make the net indestructable. It might be slow, but it will work.
There is no way that this would benefit consumers, it would ONLY benefit corporations.
That's what happens when people vote for politicians that only represent corporations. Get the majority to vote conscientiously, and not be distracted by "bling", and I bet the problem will go away pretty darn quick. These kind of problems will continue until the voters start flexing the muscle they don't even know they have. If they don't, there might be some serious rock throwing. There's not much time left, if they want to keep things peaceful. The majority is basking in its slumber, while the minority is just starting to wake up...finally.
They are worried about mass defections. That's why we see press release after press release (right here on Slashdot even), to keep our eyes on the prize. And this here announcement is a press release(ad), also. No such thing as bad publicity. Make no mistake, this is to keep our minds from wandering. They're even making a little soap opera out of it now. FTA: A Microsoft spokeswoman said the company disagreed with the Gartner report and it was still on track to meet its launch dates.. Now we have a nice drama going on. I'm still waiting for the Stallman/Ballmer steel cage match.
So the FCC is going to replace my mythtv box with a new system?
No, time itself will render it inoperable eventually. That, or some new mandated video standard will do the same thing. It could be the real reason they want to move all TV to digital. You can either vote yourself a good government, or you can have a little talk to the guy who managed to get 2 million immigrants to hit the streets. We ought to see if we have that kind of clout.
All well and good if you have the right guy 100% of the time. Try not to let too many innocents get caught up in your mad drive for vengeance. A somewhat better way to reduce spam to a more manageable level would be to have a little heart to heart talk with your greedy, horny neighbors that are trying to cash in on some "unclaimed" inheritence or find some cheap viagra-like substance. The spammer will always have plenty of money as long as they have willing customers. Like most things, it takes two... If you want to stop the flow of money, you need to go to the source.
Fired? Don't like your job? Too bad, you can't work for a competitor.
Anybody who signs a conrtact with the ability to apply a "non-compete" clause to an employee that doesn't quit voluntarily has to be a real sucker. I would certainly hope that it's not legal in that case.
Installing Windows XP from scratch on a freshly formatted hard drive is nigh hands off...
Well, there's a big problem right there. Have you ever tried to run windows setup on a drive with no defined partititions? Just try to boot up with the Windows CD and see if you can run fdisk.
A nation of informants and snitches. Not only do Americans hate their freedoms, they seem hate each other even more. I have a question. What is wrong with you people?? Two million immigrants are out marching to protect their rights. French protesters managed to get a bad law thrown out. The people of Nepal are getting their government back. Since you will never get the majority to vote for freedom, you need to go out and take them back. You don't need anybody's permission. These freedoms are yours, take them and don't let go. If you do let go of them, then you never deserved them to begin with. Why won't you all get it together and show YOUR clout?
I'm sure that all the way up to not long before 1789 they were called militants, or terrorists, or some other derogatory term. Made up of people that formed up under Washington and other less famous leaders. Hardly an army in the typical sense. They were rebels, with no internationally recognized leader. The present day army is sworn to protect us from foreign invaders. It's up to us at home to protect our freedoms from internal threats, like a corrupt and dictatorial government. It is us at home who have the right to form militias and possess weapons for just that purpose. It is for the army to stay out of domestic affairs. And furthermore, the "army" didn't didn't give a free government to the people. Some of the military leaders participated in wrinting the constitution, but to say they "gave" us a free government is simply incorrect.
You're acting like these things aren't an issue simply because they're being done by someone who likely won't get punished.
Oh, it's an issue all right, just not to those who can do something about it. It's an age old issue from which we as a society, since the times of the old testament, have learned absolutely nothing...by choice it appears. If gas prices, or some other inconvenience big enough to spark a reaction comes up, then it might become an election issue, but as long as the majority feels relatively comfortable, they're simply not going to care what their leaders do. They're "bringing home the bacon". That's all that matters. They don't want their superbowl interrupted by news that their president is a crook. You don't have to convince me. You need to convinve them.
In other words, the guy who tried that defense didn't get very far with it either.
No, presonally, he didn't. But it's still business as usual. The same parties are still in charge. The same crooks that worked for Johnson and Nixon and Reagan are still on the job. The rest are working on FOX or some talk radio. These are the people that made General Pinoche, Manuel Noriega, Pablo Escobar and Saddam Hussein into household names. Nothing has changed. Nobody is voting for more individual freedoms. Nobody is voting to curb gov't power. They're all voting for bigger tax cuts or entitlements.

If you really want your car to be secure...
Just do what I used to do. Pop off the distributor cap, and remove the rotor. Not too many people carry a spare one of those around.

Bah, who needs guns? Rocks and molotov cocktails work just as well. At least in Nepal and France.

That would be redundant.

Better yet, let's kill their customers.
I'm sorry. I forgot this... :-)
Apparently, 80% of the IP addresses measured no longer support spoofing!
Yes, but how many of those are unique IPs?
That ain't a word.

Leave the rocket science to the rocket scientists.
That's what we need to tell the NASA managers.
Compare this to our new shiney '05 dodge Grand Caravan...
You're comparing a Chevy to a Dodge!?

The US has been in near continuous military action - "times of conflict and war" - since World War 2
I would contend that the US has been in near continuous military action since the revolution, and a bit more overtly since 1898.
