I therefore decided, today, to cancel my account (Smidge207) take them off of my RSS Reader, and cancel my Time Warner broadband "service". I am off the grid; I am off the 'net as of today.
if you are paying hundreds of dollars for a non symmetric circuit with no SLA, than your a complete idiot.
SLA probably accounts for more than any other part of the cost of the circuit in all honesty. Having a decent upload and TOS that allow you to run services (thus making money) is the point of those high costs.
The internet is merely interconnected networks... You can infinitely add bandwidth between said networks
so yes, the internet is unlimited. But you are right in the fact that it is not free.
anonymous does allot more than fags getting dressed up and holding longcat signs up in front of Scientology churches... Their is an impressive laundry list of real crimes committed, nearly daily. While chanology is defiantly the highest profile, its actually a small percentage of the total actions.
I have been lurking several discussions on the final and I have absolutely fell in love with this outrage over being unable to "believe" a supernatural force was driving things. The show was about robots who became human and flew around in spaceships at faster than light speeds.
Protip: Nothing in the show was believable.
The real reason I think is, ironicaly customer service and a path forward on DRM.
with silver light they can service both mac and pc and eventually linux users with one application instead of 3.
LOL. So is that one app Microsoft Windows? I fail to see how using silverlight helps those of us who run Linux or OSX. Make no mistake, its in MS's best interests to keep the linux/mac versions far behind the current ones, thus keeping it worthless forever. Or are you suggesting that there are not countless ways to stream video on all three platforms and we are just waiting for MS to provide it to us?
I cannot say that I am in any way religious, but you have to recognize that belief in evolution and belief in god is just that, a belief. Neither can be definitively proven or disproved. And both stories start out exactly the same. In the beginning there was nothing. Then there was something. Even the most scientific explanations of where we come from amount to nothing more than faith.
Yeah, I have noticed a degrading in the appdb concerning gold or above ratings. For example, Left4Dead has several gold reviews. But you have to turn off HDR, and crank the settings real low to make it playable, and it still looks and plays like shit.
My personal observation is that Ubuntu has poisoned the db with a flood of users who will note a game as gold or above just because it starts up. I know it sounds flamebaitish but I have seen several games where every distro on the list will give a silver or lower, but theres a bunch of gold Ubuntu's.
I can no longer trust a rating on face value, but rather have to dig into the attached discussion or a third party forum to get a real feel of a games usability. But taking my above mentioned example, even if you include lots of tweaking and configurations, the game still doesn't deserve a gold rating.
Yes, I'd prefer that they would install like normal drivers (not at system startup) and that they go through the effort of getting signed. And if you're still on 32bit Windows, this is not even a problem.
But it kinda confirms my thought that you were running vague software written by Linux people for Windows.
LOL. I'm revoking 20 nerd points from you. Thanks for the laugh at your expense!
Linux has many flavours indeed; However If install a lightweight distro no functions are artificiality neutered, just not installed. And if I change my mind, I can always install the feature that I want.
Apples and Oranges.
Yes, lets get into the habit of censuring posts, surely that wont ever get abused!
Maybe not feeding the troll would be more effective.
Welcome to the internet btw.
Slashdot Mirror
If by "broken several stories" you mean "posted links to stories that were broken elsewhere" than you may have a very good point.
The FCC is part of the legislative branch, since its existence and powers were established by act of Congress.
Wrong; the FCC is in the executive branch.
The FCC has no 'jackboots'. They have guys in suits with EM meters.
This is also incorrect. The FCC has guys in "swat" uniforms with automatic weaponry.
that buzzing sound is the point of faith flying above your head.
if you browse Slashdot you can probably do all those things pretty easily.

Can I have all your stuff?
How do you know you don't have a virus is you don't have any software installed to detect it?

Wow, you possess such a fundamental misunderstandings of the world. astounding.

compiz-fusion is a merger of two compiz forks... linux window previews (ala compiz/xgl) were out in late 2005... long before vista had those previews.

Youtube takes up a vast majority of the internet's available bandwidth and ISPs are complaining about that.

if(OS == Linux) {then fs()= ext3; else break;}
What language is that? It's not C, it's not C++, it's not Python, it's not even VB. I don't think it's FORTRAN, PASCAL, Malbolge, MUMPS, etc.
mirc scripting i believe.
Seemed to work on you...
I can't tell, is this a joke?

Easy, you just stand face to face. You aim your cameras at each other.

While i totally agree with you... You have to be an idiot to not see his point.
granted, But when was the Linux kernel created?
