Oh my! Why didn't I think of something like that? I wonder how tall my roof has to be to chat with my friends on the Islands. Or how resistant it will be to jamming.
Because if they can't, they will not transmit your traffic. Why is nobody seeing this?? Privacy is a privilege of the state, not the individual. Good luck trying to convince 99% of the population otherwise. Anybody else who wants it are nothing more than terrorists and criminals.
You are still dependent on BIGCO's wire for your internet access. If the ISP wants to spy on you and they can't read the packets, they will simply drop them. What are you going to do about that? Switching ISPs is not an option when they all engage in the same behavior. So, c'mon, cough it up. What's your solution now?
This has been the real motivation behind their attacks all along. The restrictions placed on consumer minidisk players(the much more expensive "pro" version didn't have these restrictions) is the first time I became aware of what they are up to. I didn't know what a bunch snakes Avid was at the time. Gotta keep those barriers as high as possible...
Doesn't matter. The people ok'd it. There was insufficient outrage. Besides, I'm just as glad Lieberman didn't get in. And besides that, enough people voted for Bush to justify the court's decision. If he didn't get those votes, the court would not have been involved. He won it, and that's that. Once again, everybody's passing the blame. Bunch of damn crybabies as far as I'm concerned. Nader stole nothing. He provided an alternative where there was none. Bush/Cheney equaled Gore/Lieberman. And now Obama=McCain=Bush=Nixon. If you want something better, it's up to you not to fall into the trap. I now regret giving any support to the man and can now care less who wins, knowing it will be one of these two. The election is little more than high drama to divert attention.
Maybe slightly OT, but I've always wondered why it is that abandonware doesn't automatically become public domain.
It's called "selling refrigerators to the Eskimos" to create and grow a market for inferior, useless products that nobody would buy otherwise. You have to create a need and then deny access to it. It's why they need things like infinite copyright and patents.
No, no, no! You are dead wrong. The only people responsible for Bush's occupation of the white house are the ones that voted for him. Nobody else. Like Bush himself, you are blaming the wrong guy.
Yeah, maybe so, but it's little more than farting into the wind. I just needed to vent (tee hee). To tell the truth, it just doesn't matter.
What the hell is wrong with people?!
Nothing. It's perfectly normal. Personal interest is the rule of the day. It's how things work when nobody will see beyond the end of their nose. It's all "me, me, me".
Maybe this is why Congress has a below 10% approval rating?
That number is so completely meaningless. I don't know why people keep bringing it up. What a bunch of tripe. In the ONLY poll that really matters, congress has over a 90% approval rating. Every single time. Congress didn't give out immunity to these people. The voters did. And they will do so again in November. So let's quit trying to pass the buck, ok?
As long as I can zap the screaming kid kicking the back of my seat. Or the obnoxious drunk who won't shut up. I can see it now. It would be like the Simpsons at the family counseling office all zapping each other. Very entertaining.
This is why we need to limit Congress to one term in each office.
Oh please! What has term limits done for the presidency? You only need to look as far as Mexico to see what a worthless endeavor it would be. It does nothing about removing the party from power. You limit their terms with your vote. If you won't vote them out, then you're not seeing the real problem.
Maybe I'm lucky that I never heard it. Can you hum a few bars for me? I'm afraid to download it. I could end up being his cellmate. And under today's rules, I could get a longer sentence than he might get.
It's not a good reason to charge somebody with a felony.
That might be true if you choose to ignore the needs of the prison industry, and its ability to provide cheap labor when the supply of illegals dries up. The issue is money, not crime and punishment, and least of all, morality. It's what prohibition is all about.
The private sector cannot compete with tax subsidized services.
You mean like in package delivery? Or maybe TV and radio broadcasting? How about public transport? I guess we should just let the private sector monopolize everything and subsidize the people who can't afford it. Like medical care.

...without throwing the baby out with the bath water...
The water stays a lot cleaner when the baby isn't constantly crapping in it. I say keep the water and throw out the baby.
It's entirely possible that lack of funding could kill it before the hydrazine freezes over.

Excellent...
See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest...
It goes all the way down...

You make a good point.

Why they oughta be horsewhipped...I mean, elected to congress.

Take a look at what will be on your ballots. You actually expect the replacement to be any better? Only if you write one in.
With all the spying going on, the less traffic that has to go through the states, the better.

Well, he didn't have the dream team to help him out. If the hans don't fit, you must acquit.
