Is there anyway you can get all of those who connect through the network to have to go through a proxy server (controlled by you, or the administration) to connect? Once you get that amount of control, you can then start to block stuff you know is bad. If you don't have control over this, petition for it or something. Ask for a bit more power, and maybe, for the good of all, you will get it.
With your proxy, isolate problem areas, where all the downloads that have virus are coming from, and blacklist 'em. I'm not sure how most p2p apps work, but I'm sure you can block their needed ports, so Kazaa, Morpheus, et al will be locked out, as those tend to have more virii than most.
You can also blacklist individual sites, or look to a third party app that already has a well established database. (Students may complain about not being able to access their pr0n. If this becomes a problem, you don't have to enable the "Sex and pr0n" filter, but be forwarned that porn sites are where a lot of virii come from as well.
I hope this helps you. If it doesn't, then publish a phamplet of some sort, explaining the monetary benefits of not having to buy a new computer to replace your virus infected one. Maybe some will see the light.
First of all, if you remember your physics lessons, you'd also remember that light bends, or rather, is reflected off of the sides of the FO cable, and eventually reaches the end. 1 photon or billions, it matters not.
As far as speed, 120 KMH is very good, especially considering those who want utmost security will not use conventional communications, but rather send courier or take it themselves.
Routing is not an issue. The army, the government, banks, whoever who wants a hotline, the lack of routing is not a problem. (Remember those red phones that went to the Kremlin? Imagine a secure line running under the ocean carring a message! The longest it could take is a week for a message, and that's if you are standing on the date line at the equator and want to send a message to the other side of the world (That name escapes me atm).
National communications (coast to coast) in slightly more than a day. Much more efficient than any courier with a secure message or even normal letters.
Of course, all this is moot if there are no such messages, in which case I will go and get a life and therapy.

I know.us is a TLD. Its one more TLD that spammers can harvest from. If I knew your domain, and I went to godaddy, or someother place and did a whois query on your.us domain after Jan. 26, I could get your name, address, e-mail, etc....and the spammers will just use.com, which can still be registered in such a way that your info is private.
One less? You didn't RTFA. This makes ALL us registrations public, meaning that you can't, for a fee, keep your information out of the whois records. This is one more domain for the spammers to harvest from.
How many/.ers have cds from 25 years ago? That's what I thought. They didn't HAVE CD's 25 years ago (Not like we do today, at any rate)
In 25 years, this will be a moot point. We'll have some insanely big storage medium. Right now, our current technology just has to hold the data for about 5-10 more years, then we can all switch over to the new system.
Case in point: All the old floppies we used to run stuff on are obselete now. I'm sure back then, the people running them hoped that the floppies would last "forever". Who's running 5 1/4 floppies now? They've all switched over.
And now I've RTFA, it seems that this is a point they make in the survey. Just something to keep in mind.
The idea is that when you return it, you get a refund, but you still have to pay a "restocking fee"
Scenario: Consumer "Bob" rents movie "Incredibles" from Blockbuster.
2 weeks later, 1 week after due date. Blockbuster charges "Bob's" account $17.95 for "Incredibles"
1 week after that: "Bob" brings movie back. Blockbuster credits "Bob's" account for 17.95 minus a "restocking" fee for putting the movie back on the shelf.
Not "late fees" per se, but still extra clams to shell out.
See, this is kind of stupid. We shouldn't be suing for money, we should be puttin this guy in JAIL!
If he files for bankruptcy, the government pays his debts, etc..., what's to stop him from doing it again? and again? and again? You get the point. As long as he's free, he's going to be doing this. The only way to stop it is to put him in jail.
No, the terrorists probably just get a bigger rush from destroying a powerful country.
Think about it. It happens everywhere. Nobody wants to see the little guy lose. In american courts, everybody is happy when a big corp. loses a case, since everyone thinks that the "big corporations" are doing evil by impressing their will on the general populace.
The same thing happens with America. The terrorists see some kind of injustice in the fact that we live (for the most part) richly, and they have to scrounge out a living. They are just jealous of the power and affluence we have. That's why France isn't getting bombed....

Why on earth would you need a straight line?!

Collegiate students have so many ipods that they are using them to record lectures?
I'm to poor to even afford one to listen to music.
Damn College kids anyway

You can register .com and .net privately right now. If they are using .us right now, they will just switch.

Don't click the link...it opens about a billion and two popups. None of them have anything, its just annoying.
If you do get trapped, ctrl+alt+del and then end task firefox. (Or whatever your webrowser is)
True that...blasted 3.5s never work.
I haven't used one in years.

Its interesting, because you can get arrested for doing the opposite, Living in portland and working in Washington. The charge? Tax evasion.
I'm sorry, I couldn't here you over all the shouting about gay niggers...what did you say?

Why do the creditors have to pay? That makes no sense...they are privately owned, no?

It was meant to be funny. I actually did read the article.
As per number 3, if you are slamming, me, then that makes you insecure American white trash.
You wrote all that in the 2 seconds after the article was posted? Wow!

They are both filthy stinkin rich, hate google, and dream of a new world order?
