Depends on the magnitude of the miracle. He could blink the stars out of the sky and I'd still have my doubts it wasn't just some mental delusion he was inflicting upon me.
There's little barrier to entry for most of the things you mentioned. I'd suppose that if a community in Alaska was 200 miles from the nearest grocery, and Price Chopper didn't service them, you'd bitch at the citizens of that community for getting a local government program set up to fly in fresh vegetables every couple of weeks? That's an poorly equivalent analogy to broadband in many rural areas.
I'm with you 100%. I'm all for small government. But in some cases, local governments have to take action into their own hands to serve their constituents. I see this as one of those cases.
we let local governments run police, fire departments and schools, why not broadband, especially if the capitalist elements have written off certain communities as unservicable?
Governments represent communities. I shudder to think off all those permit issues and fundraising problems for those poor soccer moms trying to get decent broadband for their children...
The words are synonymous. A local government sending messages to corporate america. Obviously the big corporate types weren't willing to service these communities, why should a local government be blocked from serving it's electorate?
No. That will only encourage corporations to do least cost implementations. You'll have killed any sort of competition a community could drum up, and enslaved them to the will of the corporation leaving them with spotting connections and outrageous prices. Nay, SCREW the corporation. They had their chance.
Why the Fuck would MS$ be interested in a market where they have NEVER had presence, and are so unaffected by Mame? No, I could see Atari or Capcom putting them up to this, but not MS.
If energy were free, hydrogen WOULD be the most cost efficient fuel for a large portion of the planet. There'd be no additional transportation costs when you can convert rainwater to fuel. Granted, if you lived in a place where it doesn't rain very often or water distribution is not widespread, it might be just as cost efficient as any other, but in the Northeastern US, this isn't a problem.
Perhaps moving away from all her family or moving into a tiny apartment? Sorry, I don't agree. What if instead of widowed they were living on disability payments? You'd kick a cripple to the curb?
Actually, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that one, myself...
In a place where a decent home (Massachusetts) can cost $4000 a year in just taxes, plus heating, plus electricity, plus food, if someone's living at or near the poverty line, that's a back breaker.
Fedora Core 2 and KNOPPIX are the only distributions out of a few I've tried that managed to successfully boot on my Dell Latitude CPx and my HP Omnibook 6000 and be able to connect to the network. I'm still having some WiFi issues, but wired ethernet works.
SuSE 8.2 and 9.2 would lock up at PCMCIA initialization.
As opposed to that poor widow who's husband farmed the land for 60 years, but cannot afford to pay the property taxes doubling every other year since her SSI benefits increase once a decade?
Yeah, that's fair. I personally believe landowners who's SSI income makes up more than (some ratio) of their total income should be exempt from property taxes.
That's just me. I'm sick of seeing people getting booted out of paid homes because they cannot afford property taxes anymore.

I can't tell if you're trolling, or serious. The post you linked to was hardly convincing.
Millions of people write about and celebrate the Easter Bunny. Doesn't make him any more real, past, present or future.
We can certainly explain it. Like the Big Bang, it's reproducing the experiment that is proving to be the problem...

AFAIK, prostitution is illegal in Vegas. Have to hit the burbs.
Which is why I think the post office should get into the SSL cert business.
Yup, just put another one in L1 and do some serious interferometry.
If a tree falls in the woods killing a family of four, and no one's around to hear it, does anyone give a fuck?

The issue on debate isn't "free" broadband. It's no broadband, or some broadband, providing by a coalition of the willing.
Big difference.

You're wasting your breath... this guy has obviously never seen his tailpipe leaking water on a cold day...

Because there are Rights Offline as well on Online. Good luck working with Apache Offline, unless you're an Indian.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Peace.
Who else here cut their teeth on Yggdrasil?
$100 it's 100% related to the SCO mess, and once that is over, all things Linux related at IBM will change.

As if that had never been the case since the West Was Won. What century did you grow up in?
Um, ~28g's is an ounce, so 50g is almost 2 oz...
