An internal drive can be hot-swapped if it is put in a special craddle with a handle and a lock.
Oh no, I do recall once doing some work on one of my older computers, and I did remove my CD-RW drive with the power on. It sparked, the system shut down, and my drive was dead, but i definitely "hot swapped" it.:-)
That is the same argument used by the people who tell artists to bypass the record labels and release things themselves. While in theory it is a good idea, the fact is that there is a few large publishers that can effectively censor the indie labels as far as making a decent amount of money. Professors can't use your "indie" eBook if they don't know it exists due to a blockade by major publishers.
I wouldn't be suprised if the PAA (Publisher's Association of America) started up quickly after the advent of very profitable eBooks.
Seeing as the company gets no money from you selling your used book to another student as well as their monopoly status as far as your class, you should expect quality to go down and price to go up.
There isn't anything to be cynical about. From the aspect of the company, it's simply good business.
if his fines were 100% greater than his bank account, what do you think he is going to do to make up the fines?
Put a lien on his property until he pays it all off (the spam profits had to go somewhere) and charge the standard APR for defaulted accounts as he pays it off.
Speakeasy can't upgrade the lines because they don't own them. The only thing they can do if you have crappy lines is ask Verizon nicely to do some upgrades. Its the same thing with all ILECs (the line owners). If you aren't getting your DSL through the ILEC, then the best your ISP can do is ask the them to fix the problem. When all is said and done, you're at the ILEC's whim.
I don't think that being a spammer should get you locked up, but I do agree that the penalty should be stiffer. As you said, if the penalty is just a cost of doing business, then the penalty needs to be increased. IMO, the penalty should be about double whatever you made off of spamming. The penalty is then doubled for each subsequent offense.
First, I can second the service/policies of Speakeasy... they are certainly top notch.
Second, I believe that Speakeasy does not have any sort of agreement with Verizon-owned lines. Speakeasy only has agreements with a few CLECs to bundle with their services. For instance, a COVAD tech came to install my connection (which was over SBC lines). Speakeasy, AFAIK, just routes you over their private network and throws in the other value-added packages and acts as a liason between your ILEC and CLEC.
Certainly, feel free to correct me if I'm off the mark.
Let's take a poll. All those in favor of USSR dominating the world raise their hands...thought so.
Interesting straw man, but it doesn't answer the original question, namely, "is the US the most violent nation in the world?" There needn't be an either/or choice among the US/USSR. It is very possible that a world system could have many strong powers, but none overpowering any of the others.
Depending on how you define violence, it very well may be. Some of the countries in central Africa are giving us a run for our money, but I'd think that over the past few centuries, we take the cake in total combat deaths inflicted. Wether or not you agree with the aims of the missions is another question altogether, but on straight violence, I'd have to agree with our good friend Willem (768540).
You attend Wright State University in Dayton but seeing as you are originally from Ohio it can be inferred that you have not traveled far from home in your meager 21 years.
I've lived in Tiffin, Attica, Kent, Stow, Clinton, and Willard -- all in Ohio.
You are still a college student and from a working class family. You are resentful at those who have money because they could afford a better secondary education, which you could not afford as you paying for your education largely by yourself via federal loans and grants.
Close enough;-)
You like to involve yourself in political discussion about world issues yet get all your facts from sources that are just as bias as the sources the right wing people you enjoy calling "idiotic" get their facts from.
Depends how old your info is. I enjoy Paul Krugman's economic columns. I tend to stay away from the mainstream. I read the Daily Kos for humor value, etc.
You are a pseudo-intellectual and like to quote Voltaire.
I might have quoted Voltaire a few times. I prefer the stylings of Mikhail Bakunin these days.
See, all sorts of info is easily obtainable from web. And all this in just the pass 15 minutes. Imagine if I put a little effort into it.
Have fun... most of that stuff is on there because I want it to be. You've not found anything novel. But there is something to be said about an AC posting all this.
I agree that posting the actual information was over the top (they could have just said we found out x, y, and z off a google search), and Google is well within their rights to refuse interviews to anyone, but I think they're blowing the whole deal out of proportion.
And yes, CNET isn't exactly the gold standard in journalism.
Google was angered by an article published earlier by Cnet where all sorts of personal information about Google CEO Eric Schmidt was included.
You put it on the Internet and its fair game.
Of course, there is a lot of our information on the Internet that we didn't put there, which is why we need better laws regarding dissemination of personal information.

You pay 2x as much for a "business" account ... just like if you need a static IP. See the free market is infallable!
Using "and" in succession is correct grammar. It just is not the commonly accepted way of doing things because it gets wordy.
-1 ... you didn't use "synergy".
It doesn't exactly take a leap of faith to see scenarios in 2005-2006 where a single game level or visible scene will require >2GB RAM at full detail.
I've heard from plenty of people that you do need at least 2GB of RAM free for BF2 to be playable at the highest settings.

No need to visit slashdot to see if there's any interesting stories, as they'll be in your bookmarks.

True, but if you'll never get a first post due to the lag between the bookmark update and the posting of the story.

I don't consider myself a liberal, but this quote seems to sum up my beliefs:
Liberty without socialism is privilege, injustice; socialism without liberty is slavery and brutality.
-- Mikhail Bakunin
I would like you to show how that statement is hypocritical.
Definitely. It could be used as an example of the following logical fallacies:
