1. Bush is not doing the same thing as terrorist leaders; I haven't heard of any American teenagers being strapped in explosive vests by the Bush administration yet.
Oh, but he is. I see many teenagers suiting up in cammo and an automatic rifle and being sent out to fight. The only difference is that the "terrorist's" teens are guaranteed death and with the US's teens, there's only a chance. Either way, they're being sent to die.
Best effort connections do not allow active sabatoge. Throttelling a connection due to heavy traffic is sabatoge. All 'best effort' and 'as is' connection mean is that they will do their best but don't make any promises.
Strange but last time I looked there wasn't a guarantee of service in any ISP contract[...]
Lack of a guarantee only means we can't actively go after the company for penalties/prorate. SLA's/contracts for business connections state that you are guarnateed XX% uptime and if they falter you can hit them up for money.
Lack of a guarantee does NOT mean they can actively sabatoge your connection.
In the eyes of the ISP, they're selling you a 3Mb pipe for burst traffic, so your email or web page loads really fast, not so that you can saturate your pipe 24/7
The day they admit that and print it on their marketing materials is the day that I will agree with you.
The commies who hate america and troll anything that is pro america are taking them from me. You can't argue with a lib, they just scream louder and yell how you are a biggot/racist/homophobe/whatever word comes to mind even if it has nothing to do with the conversation at all.
I wish, for one second that libtards would THINK before they open their mouths to scream crap that is so completely wrong its not even funny.
So does using the words commies/libtards make you a contard?
Well, hell, here in the US some people have fiber-optic connections as fast as 100 mpbs (Verizon's FIOS). It's a very very small percentage of people, but it still falls under the header "some people."
Philadelphia has about 8/1Mbps cable at the max service currently. Though FTTP/FiOS may be going there in the near future at about 15/2Mbps. Still, US sucks when it comes to this, that's obvious.
If you know it's overheating, try and fix it. Heat sink not making good contact, fan not working or manually set low, horrible case air flow, hot card underneath it, or overclocked/overvolted.
Odds are it's not a card flaw, it's a flaw with your setup.
4th ammendment. WHy can't the government search my papers and posessions? Because I have an inherent right to privacy. Stop throwing away my freedoms and get real, you damn fascist.
And this is why government websites don't issue cookies or keep records.
However, we are NOT talking about government here. You use a companies private webservers, it is their perogative whether or not to log on you.
It is the simple experiment were a rat with a wired brain is given the choice of directly stimulating his pleasure centers chooses this direct method rather then feeding, sleeping, mating until he dies.
It showed that as long as the rats have good living conditions and aren't cramped in tiny little cages, they have no will to use drugs. Even drugs that are highly addictive like morphine. Rats that were in those tiny cages that showed the behavior you mentioned weened themselves off once introduced to better living conditions.
I'd sure hate to have someone's clunker dripping oil onto my windshield.
The photos in the Wired article seem to insinuate that each car has a 'tray'. If they drip, they drip into the tray and not onto the car below. The trays are kind of like pallets but huger.
As the prior article (about the moon base) suggests, due to the very slow means of space travel, there is basically no way to deal with a debilitating injury. On Mars, you would die right away because sending a space ship to the planet takes months.
How is this any different then when Europeans started to explore the Americas? Seriously, death happens. Not everything we do can, or should be 100% safe. Especially when you're doing work in such groundbreaking discovery. Every astronaut knows and accepts the possibility that they may die to further man-kind.
It's a question of how, in a socialist state, you manage to convince people to contribute to the best of their abilities.
Well, a good way is to have a national goal or easier ways for people to apply their skills and hobbies to making money.
For instance, if a nation like mine(the US) could set itself to something like moon colonization or space exploration... I think that could bind everyone together. But people stuck in a job like financial services don't understand how making more money for the rich is going towards this goal. By doing this, you risk going totally socialist by having large governmental jobs programs but maybe that's what we need. A good balance of governmental jobs programs and corporate for-profit jobs could probably work.
Also, a way to unobscure and maybe even temporary subsidization for people trying to apply their skills to their own business would work. That way, someone fiddling with electronics can take the time to build a business without an insane ammount of resources having to be behind them.
Some of these programs may very well already be out there. However, the obscurity of local, state, and federal governments and the fact that people see government as a ruller, not a source of help, is harming anything that would come of them. The Internet is just barely starting to change that but overall, we have a far way to go.
I think a good combination of socialism and capitalism is what will end up being best for the country.
45 different lines won't occupy much more space than they already do -- plus I doubt we'd see this problem as I think we'd see companies dedicated to pulling lines to re-lease to others if we had more competition in the municipalities...
Think about this, there are 3 providers on most poles out there. Electric, cableTV, and phone. Now add 45 new sets to the pole, hope the technicians can identify which ones are theirs, hope the poles can support the weight, and deal with that nasty assed eyesore. With 45 sets of lines on the poles, you probably won't even be able to see the house across the street.
As for re-leasing the lines, this is already available in most states. And guess what, the prices they can charge are regulated and that's the only reason these re-leasers can even stay in business. You think Verizon will keep their prices low for Cavalier? hah
Of course they get a benefit -- they get to set the prices without competition.
Thanks to deregulation.
It NEVER existed because the "net" was too young and companies were still trying to overcome technological barriers.
That's because the 'net' came into it's own after deregulation. And no, deregulation can not be given credit to spurring it's growth.
While I do agree that regulation on the logical Internet should not be and is kind of impossible... however, it may just be necessary to regulate the network providers. Otherwise they will exercise their monopolies and burry us with exorbinate fees.
If there was a vote for impeachment that the public could vote in, I would vote.
Fortunatly, there is(sort of). It's a petition to try and make congress act. Technically not a vote, but congress can't ignore 729,455 signatures. Or maybe they can...
The report states 765 homicides (murder + manslaughter) in the UK last year, this includes the 46 gun releated and 52 in the London bombings. How does this compare with other countries?
Well, Philadelphia has had over 200 murders so far this year(since January) and almost 1,000 shootings.
Note: Philadelphia has a population of about 1.5mil.
The problem is, no matter how good the surgery is, this guy will be screwed up. Getting blown in half kind of wrecks your chance at a normal life afterwards. So he won't be returning to his previous position atleast.
Did anyone see that string-looking thing coming from the atmosphere? I saw it during the fall back to Earth. Might that be the trail of smoke from the launch?

Only this time, "power hungry individuals" = GWB + his gang and "The West" = The Middle-East.

The only people that can afford a package > 30Mbps is business. Big business at that.

Whatever it was, it was awesome.
