Doesn't this remind you of AT&T, but on a larger scale?
The US owns the hardware, has all the control, and is expected not to abuse the power. And there's no one that's more powerful that can tell them what to do.
I think over the years it has been pointed out many times that its exactly that risk that can shut up the normal reporter, but not the blogger. The mistake here is thinking that one type of media must replace the other. But that's not true.
Letters exist even with email.
Radio exists with tv.
Journalism can exist with blogs.
I have to disagree, most of the information that is digital doesn't have long term value (blogs, message boards) and those things that do have value (ebooks, artwork) will have physical counterparts.
...when will they release Grand Theft Auto: Model T Ford edition when you travel the early 20th century speeding around at 15 miles an hour and running illegal moonshine.
I'm still wondering if this is being used as a legalistic loophole or an honest concern about false arrest. I mean, there is a blood test that has been shown to be just as good or better than a breathalizer.
Well, what I do that fudges the numbers a little, is that I and a few friends installed it on a whole bunch of macs at Norhteastern University. And then I deleted links to everything else, and changed the background to a spread firefox picture. And when I couldn't change the software because it was locked down, I would change the homepage to firefox's download page.
IE usage may be high, but there can be very valid reasons. A lot of internet kiosks use windows and IE as default, and a lot of people browse slashdot from work, where the PHBs insist on locked-down windows boxes that run IE.

What you're looking for is ethics, those are the beliefs you come to on your own, although a lot of ethical decisions can be moral ones as well.

Raise your hand if you're a man who didn't have a wife/girlfriend at the time, and saw a tampax or birth control commercial.
Ladies, raise your hand if you've ever seen one of those damned axe body spray commercials.
I rest my case.
Fortunately, some students modded it for underwater research.
Heh, religion has that market cornered methinks. :)

Everything in life is about being better than someone or something.
It's illegal to have a swear as a name, so who knows...
That's a frightening thought. Why not just replace your car's tires with bicycle wheels?
This is possibly the first post I read where someone approaches all the issues.
You're right, it's not funny, it's accurate.
Neither did Tom, you'd think the scientists would be smarter.
Unless, of course, you're growing a seedless fruit. :)

I've left firefox running for a week without a crash. What bothers me is the memory leaks.
