I believe it can be justified by the "get them off the streets" view. But, as a modern society, we should be able to hold murderers and rapists away from the streets with a good jail.
The reason they are hated, are the stiff fines and utter insane placements of the cameras. Many innercity roads with lots of accidents never get a camera, but some highways get reduced speed limits and a cam for every 4-5 miles even though there are far less accidents there. The fair cameras are no problem, its the money machines that makes us mad. Its the same in Norway
But, wouldnt it be cool to have the whole room smell like a rotten zombie? I really wish this thing had smell-o-rama. You could both feel and smell the zomies breath in you neck.
"and OS/2 was always a fraction of the functionality of even what DOS/Win16 provided"
Thats wierd. I distinctly remember running windows 3.11 inside os/2. It could do whatever windows could. AND, it was stable as a rock, and didnt have random file corruption.
Nah, im a semi-libertarian myself, but i believe that society is best of with some kind of structure. Like a fair law etc. I would like to see the show where they execute all our politicans, but who will fill the void? Most people need a governing body that makes them feel responsible for their own actions. I bett there are a lot of people out there who would turn to murder on petty issues if it was not for the law.
It would be interesting to hear how you would organize the 6bn people of the world. Maybe by electing som representatives or some other far out hippie idea?
There is a sweeter side of the surcharge;) Why not just make all downloads legal trough a common repository, then measure which movies, songs, apps ect gets how many downloads, and take a couple of houndred dollars per head in federal tax to balance it out. It would make the ??AA worthless
"..they gave the design of the QWERTY keyboard to the guy who designed it (note: I'm not using his name because due to this revisionist history, we don't know the real creator's name)."
Come on, we all know it is John Qwerty. Stop with yer lies!
wierd. i used to play gta2 mp all the time on my p2 450. and a lot of the people i was playing with, had k6 300's and things like that. no problem at all and we often were 6-8 people
I run a couple of low cost webservers on gentoo, and its really nice when you get it right. Steep learning curve tho. I also use it on my primary desktop and on my work-laptop, and it is a joy compared to many other distros. But im leaning towards trying ubuntu on my laptop now. If gentoo didnt take so much time to get right, it would be easier to just try it. If you are willing to spend some extra time working with your system instead of using all your time working on it, gentoo is really nice. If you want a good, stable and featureful linuxdesktop RIGHT NOW!!(+!!x10^25), ubuntu is a fine choice.
Everyone have their preferences, but blowing off gentoo as a unusable desktop distro because you did not like it is a bit rude. There are many people who use it that way, and we like it:)
Really OT, and I guess i should have posted AC. Your sig. Why? Why in the world would you want to fight aging? There are 6 bn people in this world, 3 bn would be too many. And now you want us to live longer and overpopulate the world even more?

Let the revolution begin, i say.
C# _is_ a bit more high-level than C, or for that matter, assembly, which is the language they should be learning.

That device must be lagging
Then you really need to read up on the word "liberal"
It does not mean Democrat. A democrat is a moderate right-wing politician, not a liberal
Yeah, yeah. Feeding the trolls, etc, etc
