I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but Swiss VPN offer PPTP VPN for $5/month. I can't vouch for the service as I haven't used it, but the price looks good.
Rather than a country's athletes boycotting the games, why don't the media boycott it instead? China spends billions hosting the games and the only coverage they get (apart from that of the torch relay, which has been a PR disaster for them) is a couple of column inches reporting who won each event. No opening ceremony, no 'look at the country' type reports. Nothing.
I can't say my webpages are as elegant or polished as NYTimes.com, but I'm sure they work on every browser. You'd be surprised - even html that looks completely innocuous can display differently in different browsers, especially when you add css in to the mix. I've learnt the hard way that you can never assume it will work just because it is standards compliant, you have to also check it yourself.
That would almost certainly secure a Rep win. He's young enough that if he doesn't win this time he can try again in 2012 or 2016, and by waiting people won't be able to use the 'lack of experience' card.
If you want to use Linux, get used to solving problems. Do you want to know what your computer is doing, or do you want to be stuck with Vista and whatever Microsuck puts out next?
That's the point. You or I may enjoy problem solving and the challenge of getting things to work but Joe Average doesn't. He doesn't care what his computer is doing as long as it works.
I've got to ask - when comments have a different font, like the parent, is it because of the browser they're using to post or have they taken the time to add the font code to prove they are somehow superior to everyone else?
Pay 5 Euros a month and do your p2p via a VPN to Relakks (or similar). The day they start snooping on encrypted VPN connections is the day we have bigger worries than just p2p.
That's not quite the same. In the US you vote jointly for a President and Vice President, so you know who's going to take over. In the UK you vote for the party, and anyone in the party could take over as leader.
Fine, block it for the duration of the attack, but don't keep it permanently on the list. Most spam and DoS attacks originate from hijacked PCs on dynamic IP addresses, so you're not only blocking the PC that's been hijacked, but also the guy who happens to get that IP address next, and the one after, and the one after that, etc, etc.
For the same reasons that the RIAA demanded DRM for paid downloads when their tracks are already broadcast DRM free on the radio.
Exactly what those reasons are, I couldn't tell you, but I suspect it's a combination of a lack of technical understanding by the people who make the decisions and the perceived (and to a certain extent proved) threat from filesharing.
Given that the BBC had to wrap the iPlayer videos in DRM to satisfy the rights holders, what open source equivalent could they have used? Or would they have had to write something completely from the ground up?
ADSL in the UK is sold as 'Up to 8Mbps' and the rate is adapted automatically to whatever the line will stably handle. It wouldn't therefore be possible to burst up an extra 512Kbps as the connection would start dropping out.
No, that's not the case. They limit the shared bandwidth to 512kbps and prioritise your traffic, but that comes out of your downstream connection. Consumer ADSL lines are mostly already provisioned at the highest bandwidth the line will support.
People accessing your network are limited to a total of 512kbps down; I'm not sure what the upstream is limited to (if at all), but that could be a problem as we only get 448kbits.
The way it works has changed since you last checked. You can now be a Bill - getting paid for people who access your network - and access other FON APs for free.
A very favourable tax regime for those with non-domiciled status. They pay tax only on assets brought in to the country and keep the rest in off-shore tax havens.

Exactly. They're getting nothing out of me until they've beaten me at least twice at Scrabble.
How does hosting the servers in an EU country avoid legal issues?

If you cure the 0.6% then it's going to be pretty difficult for the other 99.4% to catch it.

Ah, it's all coming together. The reason they're going to bid on the 700MHz band is so they can transmit the power wirelessly.

BT employs people with the coolest job title I've ever come across, Futurologist, so if anyone was going to do it, it would be them.

We should be thankful to GWB for the fact that there haven't been any further attacks on the US, clearly his anti-terrorism policies have worked.
I'm also a smoker but don't have cancer, so clearly cigarettes prevent cancer.

No, it's not ironic. Appropriate maybe, coincidental, yes, but not ironic. You're as bad as Alanis Morissette.
