Not arguing your point (which I mostly agree with), but when the US Gov't messes up DNS, then they have a real complaint.
ICANN != US Gov't
Until the US Gov't messes up DNS, don't fix what isn't broken. Cooperation often means inaction when there is a problem and a disagreement with how to fix it. So a shared responsibility could possibly be negative.
I'm thinking a php encrypted website where only the 'freedom fighters' know the private key would allow better communcations than having to translate everything through http://www.ogobin.org/tmp/31337.php
Don't know if it's doable, but seems like a reasonable concept.
And, yeah, there's the possibilty of being tortured for the private key. So, that's kind of a downside.
No, the 'right' thing to do is to let the user set prefs that allow a new tab to have home page, last page or a blank page. Let the user decide, not the app builders.
WTF are your talking about? It's just as plug and play as any other ethernet, assuming you use gigabit speed switches, cards and cables. It's not that hard.
Drought is a known problem, so we should starve rather than irrigate? Cold is a known problem so we should freeze rather than build houses?
These are strawmen. I wasn't suggesting to move rain clouds to deserts, or heat all of Canada. You just end up moving the deserts or moving the polar ice.
I'm saying, deal with your local conditions WITHOUT affecting the rest of the planet or shut up. Technology can be used with bad results too. That doesn't mean pointing that out is being luddite-ish
Winter storms aren't as big or as powerful or move as much as summer storms. The energy just isn' there as the temperature at the equater is 10-20 degrees cooler in the winter. Thus no large storms that move lots of heat.
record a sample of yourself saying (at 10-15 second intervals) "OOOoooh... Aaaaaahhh.. That sounds really cool.... Yes, please, tell me more..." You want the recorded loop to be ~5 minutes long to try to make the tape last longer during the phone call...
Except that hurricanes spread the heat from the equatorial regoins toward the polar regoins. Thus providing much more livable contions across much of the planet. While hurricanes can be bad, they are localized problems. Removing/controlling/reducing them would be a globalized problem.
If people are willing to live where these localized problems occur, they need to accept the consequences and not scream that they're having these problems. Hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, drought, heat and cold are all known problems. Either deal with them or move. But don't try to affect the rest of the planet just to solve your shortsightedness.
If/when a virus comes along, how will it attack the system? Like Win32 viruses? Doubtful. Like Unix viruses? Maybe. A unique Mac way? Probably.
So, the question becomes: Can any current virus software out there even reasonably say that they will be able to eliminate/recover from Mac viruses if they come out?
My thought is no. And that's why it makes no sense to me to run AV software right now. All you're doing is slowing down your machine. For no benefit now, or possibly ever. You may need to upgrade/switch AV software to clean out how this theoretical Mac virus attacks. I'll just wait until I read about it on/.

Sorry, I'm a t-man myself.

Unless that target is another satellite. Say a second generation of GPS that is, strangely, heavier than the first generation.
There aren't many countries in the world that can quickly and accurately take out a satellie that is beaming a jamming signal.
I'm hungry. I'll do that to both!
Not quite sure how that applies to the analogy...
It's not need they sell, it's wanting upgrades.
It was a joke, you idiot moderators.
Fuck you, you cannuck!

Yeah, the shaved peach was the reference I was reaching for. Didn't think it was that far a reach.
Though I wouldn't want to have a bite of that peach. Tastes like >>
Yeah, because you can't listen to those lower rates in iTunes.
And you can't import all the way from 16kbps to 320kbps in iTunes with the custom quality setting.
Yes, I have been trolled by an ignorant user.
Her hole isn't black.

It's more of an off-grey rotting color. Think mold on a peach
How does this relate to gigabit? It doesn't.
You're talking about hardwire vs wireless.
And hardwired isn't a PITA. It's just inconvenient in some locations. Maybe you're just to cheap to run Cat 6 for 20 miles, with repeaters.

Gigabit ethernet is a PITA?

~100 miles to the West - it would have impacted Galveston/Houston
~100 miles to the East - it would have crushed Mobile and impacted Talahassee
Why is this better?

Sounds like a great Podcast!!

And this leads to a larger point.

Actually, it was Apple ][s http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0872842.html
But I'm sure there were Unix viruses in teh 1970's. Just can't find a link quickly.
The end is a horse???
Well, if you're willing to shell out a little more money...

No need to install any software???? Except of course the 3 pieces you mentions a couple of sentences ago.
And as for the virus....it's a Windows virus. The problem isn't with creative, it's with an OS that's so easily corrupted.
