of course with the global-ness of the web, isn't it nuts to think that the Us can somehow enforce our laws there? If I really want to, can't I just blog to a uk site and get around all this? So opening the loop hole just formalize what's already the de facto law?
Then try a public library. Access is free and most use Windows. Most of the folks hardest hit by this tragedy don't have access to any computing resource and need a lot more than their 'Underwater MAC' supported by the FEMA web site. (BTW, This is the lamest article I've seen here is a while. Now that I've added my $0.02, can we discuss something meaningful?)
You forgot one.
Hi, My name is Elvis. I seem to have gotten lost. Can you steer me towards Las Vegas?
ISO standards for business processing and security have existed for years and while a customer may require compliance as a condition for employment, I've not seen the gov't or a vendor require my participation.
But it is a lot more fun to jump on the conspiracy idea.
And in a perfect world, application folks would write code that understood that not all data is on DASD, but might actually traverse a network to get to the app; that network connections in the real world drop occasionally and your app should deal with it; that the admin caring for your server is a human being who, whether you believe it or not, is trying to do the right thing and was not born with a full and perfect understanding of all things - as you, no doubt, were.
I can't imagine the legal fees in fighting to the Federal Appeals Court would have saved verizon any money over just doing the work. My vote is with them.
(I do recognize that Verizon didn't do this for any altruistic reasons though)

(I'll never forget how a sister-in-law proclaimed my sons needed anti-biotics because the had sniffles. It's insanity.) I still can't remember the last time I've actually been "sick." Had a minor reaction from some KFC recently but that's about it.
The memory of an elephant followed immediately by selective memory. I think you have some kind of brain disorder.
Reality check - his quote said nothing of the sort.
Basic office networking is a commodity service. He & his partners should focus on their new business and let this be done by someone who knows what he/she is doing.
Surely they would think about having one of the partners work on their cars?
Except you are, um, wrong.
While no fan of Sen Clinton, her statement addressed both issues.
'I am announcing these measures today because I believe that the ability of our children to access pornographic and outrageously violent material on video games rated for adults is spiralling out of control.'
Imagine how complicated the "orbit" of this planet must be. One sun, one eliptical orbit, predictable seasonal change.
Three suns - ????.
Six possible spring and fall equinoxes. Imagine the daylight savings chart! Move ahead 1 hour during the first month, back 30 mins during month 3, ahead 4 hours in month 6. I can't get my head around it
A better approach might be to take one of the existing CMS (Tiki is my favorite) and extend it to your needs. This get's you up and running quickly and still allows you to learn something.
More to the point, I had this very same thought about 6 mos. ago. Most of the current CMS will do most of what you want. From family perspective there are somethings that are special that most CMS do not cater to.
- A real robust photo gallery. I just want one with Gallery integrated
- A good calendaring program. Again I like WebCalendar from k5n.us as it has a great feature set that seems to work well for my family
It's not a question of being mad - it's a question of legality. If I find an open door can I assume its legal to walk in? Once inside, can I assume it is legal to help myself to a drink of water? I know the owner is paying a nominal fee for the water - surely 8 ounces won't harm him in any real sense.
It's easy. You have a faceless bureaucrat or lawyer do it. We should pass a law that requires the city council or board of supervisors to meet face to face with the property owner in their living room to explain the decision and deliver the news. Imagine how many would have the courage and honor to do that face-to-face!
Even better - any elected official who votes to seize property should be forced to give up their property first.
As humans, most of us show emotion when our work is challenged. That is not wrong - but human. What's critical is what we do with that emotion once we recognize it. The mature evaluate it and their work and turn in into something positive. The immature get defensive.
Personally, I never want someone who works with me to shrug of failure. I want to understand why they failed and learn from it.
Why does the report compare maximum fines for one violation with levied fines for another? Wouldn't it be more interesting to compare maximum fines with maximum fines. Then we'd have something to talk about. (well,.. some of us)

So then you would agree that diverting 3% of the income of the low-income worker into forced saving is a good thing!
Think of the possibilities. Instead of the Gov. taking 12% of their pay and giving some of it back if they happen to live long enough, the citizen is forced to put money into an account that THEY own. Should they die early - their heirs get the money. Not necessarily pleasant, but maybe that heir takes the money to start a small business or further their education.
If they live longer, the increased rate of return ensures they do so on more money. Who loses? Those who want the government to run our lives cradle to grave. Sorry
The alternative is the Gov keeps the money and uses it to fund leading-edge art research. i say lets give the little guy a chance.
This is a good point. Most don't understand that many ideas are ideas in and of themselves and are ready to come into being at a given point in time. Many discoveries are nearly simultaneous events. I can think fo two examples. Evolution (Darwin and another guy who was a friend of his but half a world away) and the telephone. I'm sure there are others.
I wonder if the riaa lawsuits are the finger in the dike (so to speak). If enough 'normal' consumers hear stories about lawsuits they'll figure its not worth it. So the lawsuits slow wide-spread adoption from 3 -> 10 years (well, not that long!).
And FWIW, I thought the writer did a good job of presenting the p2p disruption. Not the first article to do so, but certainly worth the read.
I agree (well, not with the rich country part) - this was a rant in search of a topic. How can you group dialect and language issues, political issues and historic differences and then call the programmers "insensitive" and with "little kowledge of geography" as if they did it with complete disregard.
I think the Slashdot headline is a better premise. Its difficult and requires a lot of extra effort.
maybe the author shoudl stick with environment articles as he is an environment correspondent.

Maybe, just maybe, OP signed a contract and isn't interested in throwing the money away.
You might start by rooting around Microsoft's MSDN site for information.
