  1. Re:Backwards into time... on Two-Tier Internet & The End of Freedom of Speech · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, but people aren't complaining about paying for more service from their own providers, they're worried about having to pay other providers so to not be choked off.

  2. Re:Open Source zealots on FSF, Political Activism or Crossing the Line? · · Score: 1

    That isn't Cantor's Diagonal Argument. Cantor's Diagonal Argument is an argument that shows that the set of real numbers and the set of integers do not have the same cardinality.

  3. Re:Final Fantasy Tactics? on High performance FFT on GPUs · · Score: 0

    Yes.

  4. Re:Anti-censorship...as long as you say what we li on Amnesty International vs. Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    And what is law but legislated opinion?

  5. Re:From the summary : on Amnesty International vs. Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be monitor private online communications? Is Amnesty International saying that government officials can't read Slashdot?

  6. Femlab? on The Potential of Science With the Cell Processor · · Score: 1

    Did you mean Fermilab, or am I not keeping up with scientific progress? :-)

  7. Re:Interesting on Science Ability Down in U.S. High Schools · · Score: 1

    I actually got reprimanded by the teacher

    Did you report her for reprimanding you? What authority does this teacher have?

  8. Re:how would this be different... on BitTorrent's Bram Cohen against Network Neutrality · · Score: 1

    No. That is analogous to the phone companies charging WalMart extra.

  9. Re:This is what neutrality is really about on BitTorrent's Bram Cohen against Network Neutrality · · Score: 1

    The market will bear? If people can download DVD's off the web, they may be willing to pay more for bandwidth.

  10. Re:Dumb and dumber.... on AT&T Accidentally Leaks NSA Suit Information · · Score: 1

    And if someone prints the PDF on non-white paper?

  11. Re:Caps and Usage Fees on House Committee Approves 'Net Neutrality' Bill · · Score: 1

    I pay $45 for Road Runner, BellSouth charges $25 for DSL Lite (faster grades cost more), and dialup is cheaper still.

  12. Re:Pandora's Box on House Committee Approves 'Net Neutrality' Bill · · Score: 1

    Would the bill make it illegal for non-ISPs to perform those activities?

  13. Re:Oh those pooooor telecoms on House Committee Approves 'Net Neutrality' Bill · · Score: 1

    Depends on what gets frostbitten.

  14. From the man pages on House Committee Approves 'Net Neutrality' Bill · · Score: 1

    Only the super-user may use this option [-f] with zero interval.

    Do libraries now allow bullies super-user access? Or does Windows permit ping -f with zero interval for regular users?

  15. Re:Caps and Usage Fees on House Committee Approves 'Net Neutrality' Bill · · Score: 1

    But do people with dialup pay as much as people with broadband?

  16. Re:Microsoft eating their own dogfood? on Windows Vista - Not So Bad? · · Score: 1

    Not that I have any intentions of going any further down that road than I have to--I'll try to stick with XP for games and migrate towards Linus for everything else.

    Don't migrate too close, or Tove might get jealous.

  17. Re:Dumbasses on Student Faces Expulsion for Blog Post · · Score: 1

    Even if there is a fire, is yelling "FIRE!!" the best way to handle it?

  18. Re:Maybe Not So Fair? on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing that your T43 doesn't have a wifi card that use the Atheros chipset.

  19. Re:Maybe Not So Fair? on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 1

    But which hardware can't be supported in modules?

  20. Re:Article Summary on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 1

    last I checked XP even in safe mode had 256colors and 800x600 res with practically any video card. I'd call that some pretty amazing generic driver support.

    800x600? Do you what that looks like on a 1024x768 LCD? Ugh.

  21. Re:Yes, you ARE insane! on Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems · · Score: 1

    Linux ships with all device drivers.

    Hmm. . . I don't recall SUSE 10.1 shipping with madwifi-kmp-default/madwifi. In fact, it marked the modules from those packages (which I obtained elsewhere) as tainted.

  22. Re:Treelike structures = old as dirt. on What Should One Know to be Truly Computer Literate? · · Score: 1

    And a hard drive does have a tree-like structure? No, it's linear, too.

  23. Re:History... er on What Should One Know to be Truly Computer Literate? · · Score: 1

    But the GP was discussing history, and punchcards predate switches on the front panel.

  24. Re:I guess it HAS to be better to sell it on Visual Tour of Office 2007 Beta 2 · · Score: 1

    Or I will flood Redmond with red hot MAGMA!

    And just what are you looking for? Awk and grep my not be as polished, but what is Excel giving you for the price?
