I think the key word is "person". People are different entitites than businesses and subject to different rules, especially when they are a publicly traded company.
What's to stop the current / future administratrion from "suspending" this Review Board in the name of National Security proper noun)? With all the power-mongering that the current government system is doing, I wouldn't be suprised if Constitutionally based rights start getting revoked, not just eroded.
I would say, as a longtime slashdot reader, that I _APPRECIATE_ when people do this, as it saves me from:
A: Having to click on the link to see the article and then backtrack.
B: Saves the host from whatever percentage of the slashdot effect.
UltraEdit is some REALLY great software.
Does HTML tidying, color syntax highlighting depending on what language you're using, has very advanced find and replace capabilities (UNIX regular expressions supported), nice tabbed interface, customizeable tool bar, project management features, built in FTP client, Save To FTP (which is great) along with a ton of other stuff.
Check it out!>:)
No, I don't work for them. But I like their product.
Please notice that MS has -VERY- little to do with designing their own hardware. They outsource the design and manufacture, and just slap their name on it.
Typical MS tactics. Throw enough money around, you're bound to come up with something decent.
It would NOT be illegal, it would be a breach of contract. There is no law saying you can't resell bandwidth, only the agreement that you likely signed with your ISP that says you can't do it.
I disagree. If done right, it could be highly useful.
Let's say the government gets this sucker into the firmware of every router from Cisco to Netgear. Simply use a certain block of IP addresses as "authentication". They dial into A FEW dial-up banks (maybe even using those calling cards that GETS uses to assure a connection) that have specific IP addresses plugged into them. The routers look at the headers to see if the packet is flagged, then they check the IP addresses to see if they're kosher. If they are, the *WHOOSH*. Away goes the packet. If they don't have the corresponding IP address, their packet gets sqaushed into the bit bucket. On a *PROPELY CONFIGURED* Internet, this would work pretty well.
I don't care who it was made up of. If you were telling a black joke and there was a black guy there, would you still have made a joke about fried chicken and watermelon? I think not, because if it was any self-respecting African-American, he would have either beaten the shit out of you or filed such a HUGE lawsuit that you would have curbed your tongue quickly.
The reasoning that "because no one stood up for themselves makes this behavior okay" is one of the reasons that gay people in general continue to be walked all over in this "great" country of ours.
Next time you feel like slurring someone, go tell some Hispanics to get back to the muck farms, and see how long you live.
Would distilled water directly out of the bottle be good for this? I'd be interested in trying this out with an old junker PC that I have. Neat effect at parties.
I can't say it enough. Vote with your dollar. If this scam of a law is passed, don't buy any of the new hardware. The hardware makers will see profits dip, and then they'll be the ones lobbying Congress to change the laws back to something sane.
Remember, the American way is to "license" your rights from the government, a la lobbying. Why not get someone else to do that for you?

Umm.. think about that for a minute.
Take the drug and possibly live, or maybe die a quicker, shorter, less painful death.
Don't take it, and die the slow, lingering spiral into oblivion (and pain) that is cancer.
I'd take it without hesitation.

That's funny, because GreyMatter is a weblogging software (Much like Slashcode) that is developed by Noah Grey.

Just for the record, most birds can't belch. That's why when you feed a seagull alka-seltzer, it "pops".

As long as you tell her the cameras are present, I sincerely agree.
Install Windows 98 :)
I endorse Orville Reddenbacher! Hell, if a dead guy can be elected senator or whatever, then Orville can write some pretty l33+ code.

Why does the little voice inside my head project Samuel L. Jackson performing this little tyrade?
Let's figure developers into that. How many developers does linux have? Hundreds? Thousands? Millions?
How many does BeOS have? 1.

Senior Movement? Sounds less like a memory pill and more like a laxative.

Yeah, because being gay doesn't "Work" unless it's done with a lisp.
Ass.

All hail the nerd!
Simple... go to your local Porsche dealer, take a test spin. Problem solved.

Not to burst the slashdot bubble about weblogging, but if you want to try a really nice weblog, try GreyMatter from www.noahgrey.com.
It's great CGI software!
