Just because a law is broken, does not mean one should idly follow it, espeically if it conflicts with your own personaly princibles, (or those of whatever Faith you follow). In fact, if the LDS Church did not itself outlaw polygamy in the 1890's, I would still vigousrly practice it. No threat of jail time would keep me from praticing something I believe in my heart is a true and correct princible. Same goes with P2P's and Copyright. Nothing the RIAA, or the Courts do will keep me from using P2P's as I see fit. Jail me, fine me, whatever, I will not change.
What does the basic $13/month package contain? I'll I rally watch nowadays is Fox News, History Channel, PBS, and thats pretty mich it. All these new channels really don't mean anything, and seeing that I hate commericals as well, I am more apt to scedule my DVR to record them and edit out the comericals.
All in all I speend a LOT more time on the internet, (/.;-) ) then anything else.
Hey theres nothing wrong with Polygamy. It never should have been outlawed in the first place, being that it is a matter of religion./Begin Rant
That being said, if it WAS legal Mormons would not be able to handle it. Most are just mindless drones chanting, "Follow the Prophet, Follow the Prophet", with no brain cells devoted to THINKING ON THERE OWN./End Rant
There are a few of us Mormons who can think for ourselves, though not a lot...
Utahn

1. Person who lives in Utah.
2. Mindless Drone of the Mormon Church
Be it I am Mormon still Utah is full of frelling morons. Must be why I like Salt Lake City its the only REASONABLE city in the entire state ( 50% Mormon).
Not all Mormons are drones, just about 99.9999% of them.:-P
Who cares? (except for bleeding heart librals, who IMO should be shipped off to China).
Goverment should have VERY LITTLE to do with interfering with buisness. Besides, its OFF SHORE, ergo, NOT IN THE US.
If your in it for the money then sure CS may not be for you, but if you are in it for the love of computing, then you won't mind being a little bit more competitive when it comes to job interviews. The days of geeks making lots of $$$ are over, if thats what you want, switch careers.
More red tape is NOT the ansewer to outsourcing. In fact its what is causing the outsourcing to begin with.
Free trade is the only way to go in a now GLOBEL economy. yeah it makes it harder for theaverage joe program to get a job, however, if one is smart, you can always come out on top.
IMO, cut the socailist agenda in the US. (IE cut medicare, medicaide, social security etc), cut taxes to the bare minimum, and watch as buisnesses once agian want to do buisness IN AMERICA, instead of seeing the anti buisness bull shit that comes out of capital hill every day!
less regulation, and more of a leiza faire attitude is the way to handle out sourcing, not the other way around.
At least, as always IMO.:-P
Don't listen to these guys, IT IS the future there just still stuck in the stone age of computing and don't know how to level there arcaic skills with todays global economy. Outsourcing was bound to happen to the IT field, as it does to all portions of the job sector. Get a degree. I for one am going the acedemic route and getting my PhD in Computer Science, and possably Computer Engeenering as well.
Don't listen to the old has beens who post here at/. there time is over. If they do not evolve, then they will die. If you love computers, and want to make that your living then DO IT and don't let anybody stop you!
Couldn't a suit be invitied that would completly line the suit with elctro-magnets? The suit would fit snuggly around the person. The ship would then be constructed with some kinda of electro magnatic field generator that could be controled by the computer to simulate gravity, accept, instead of using the weakest fource in the universe you would use one of the stronger forces.
Of course the computers would have to be heavaly sheidled to keep you from erasing your HD, and other little nasty things like that. But if such a method could be worked out, the suit could stave off the problem of discreasing muscle mass on a long, "deep space" voyage.
Just a thought...
Just get MEHPIS, install it and viola! U have a nice Desktop Linux system! I installed it on my Toshiba Laptop, (which numorous attempts to install other distro's failed miserably) and it runs perfectly!
My guess is storage would have to come in a later Nintendo Games system. About all you can store in RAM is what is absolutly neccesary and when you re-boot, you'll lose any modifications that you make. That is, unless you mount a drive over the network from a PC and save all your prefrences there.;-)
The Gamecube is extremly cheap and once the team is able to get a working Linux OS on the Cube, there will be many applications for such a device. (Many have been mentioned aboove, like thin client, low end web server, etc).
This is what erks me about the Republicans. Though the Democrates are not any better (being more intergrated with the Entertainment industry than Republicans) still, the blanted disregard for individual rights diffeintly points to the system being broken. Neither side, (Dem or Repub) can do anything about it because BOTH sides are controled by special interests, (Corperations, control the Republicians, and the Entertainment industry controls the democrates) Sadly there is really nothing that any one can do to beat ethier side because of the TRAMENDOUS amount of money that BOTH sides have.
The only way I see currently of restoring the peoples right is through revolution.

Could ISP's in the future, as a result of the RIAA law suits, begin to premote that they destroy there logs in an effort maintain the privacy of there customers?
Or perhaps have a program anyomizes the IP addy?
Just becouse a company charges a price for something does not make that product automaticly propitary. The GPL is all about Free as in Free Speech, not Free as in Free Beer. As long as Xandros and company keep the entire source open than there is absolutly nothing wrong with charging for it instead of just letting people download it for free.
IMO, this is where the Linux cimmunity has gotten it wrong. We think that "Free Software" means you dont have to pay for it and that is not the intention of the GPL.
Go read the license agian and you will see that there is NOTHING that prohibits you from selling a program as long as the code for said program is made available to the comminity and people can change it to there hearts content.
I think such a plan in place with in a neighborhood, could concievably work. Also, sharing files, etc, with in the neighborhood would be faster cause said traffic would be sent over the local neighborhood network, and wouldn't reach the outside internet, thus, spreading around the bandwidth to limit the load on any one WAP. Much like the way Bit Torrent is used to transfer files to your computer, instead of there being multiple computers uploading to take stress off the centeral server, you would have multiple houses to take the stress off any one WAP.

I frelling hate the man, and not ony am I a Republican but a Mormon too :-p
Leaving in Utah, I will do my damned best to get the man out of office ;-)
