That's why you had a civil war. People in the southern states were keeping slaves.
No, that is not why we had the civil war. Consider the order of events:
1861: Southern states secede; war begins
1863: The Emancipation Proclamation takes effect, declaring escaped slaves from southern, non-board states to be free. (This excludes slaves in northern and boarder states.)
April 1865: South surrenders; war ends.
December 1865: Thirteenth Amendment passed, outlawing slavery and finally freeing slaves in northern states.
Had outlawing slavery come first, before the secession and war, I would be much more inclined to believe that abolition was the cause of the American Civil War. As it is, emancipation was a strategic move to help the war effort.
Well, I'm in Chile and it works fine. My guess is that it looks at the user agent, instead of the IP. Just change your user agent locale to en-US and see if it works. (Do this in firefox by going to 'about:config' and filtering for 'useragent.locale')
Well, the Apollo missions certainly weren't plug 'n' play...
anyway, the reason that they make the access points wide open, is to provide the low amount of configuration that you are asking for. If they were to have it secure from the start, you would have to set up the encryption key with the wireless cards, making you go through more work (and manual reading.)
Sorry, that was sarcasim. You said 'I couldn't disagree with you more', so I stated the opposite. (Yeah, bad joke.)
I think agree that we _should_ have completely free speach. But I almost wonder, "how realistic is that?" I mean, freedom of speach is one of the first things a power seeker is going to restrict. Hey, I used to think we had it here in the US... yeah right. Then I thought we had it in the US around 100 years ago... but now I don't think that things were much better. Then I thought we had it around the time of the revolution... but even then it seems that certain ideas were censored, (even if in a mild manner.)
Come to think of it, even if the government is putting no restrictions on what you are allowed to say, you still will have problems. Whenever you start saying anything of any truth, you will have people that disagree with you. Brodcast something long enough, and sooner or later you will be getting plenty of hot air.
Think before you talk.
Think twice when those who might disagree with you have the 'legal' right to break the law.
It seems that even those _with_ ethernet modems are not much better off.
My SBCYahoo DSL account came with a free ethernet modem, but with the default settings, it serves DHCP to _only one_ interface, and forwards _everything_ to it.
So really, I'll bet that most home users are directly connected.

I don't know about the other geeks here on /., but these car analogies are flying right over my head.
It's like a scary movie: shut your eyes and it'll all go away.
That is, a scary, silent, movie.

Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley shows quite clearly the reason for the war:
Slavery was wrong, and needed to be stopped. But it could have been stopped peacefully. Britain, France, and others did it.
I'm curious... what other than ray tracing could replace rasterisation?

You've never been to Kansas, have you?

I really enjoyed this. We really should have this sort of thing more often.

Hey, KDE is really ahead of the times.

1. Buy a 802.11b card
2. Find a neighbor with an open wap
3. ???
4. Profit!

Hey, to me, 'bug' means 'error'!
Oxymoron?
Online calender? Who would need that? What would really be cool is an online weatherbug thingy.
1. Easy to set up
2. Cross-platform
There is no worry about opening ports on firewalls, forwarding from routers, or anything. It just works. I have never had a single problem with it.

So, you should be able to speak your mind, but only as long as your ideas are "extreme"?

I think that I know why these things are only found in deep water... They cannot stand the sight of each other, so go down to where it is dark.
This must be a huge ploy of textbook printers -- Now schools have to buy the all new editions that say "Fact of Evolution" instead.
