What happens when things break down faster than they can be fixed Not to worry. No matter who wins in November 2008, we're all about to find out. HTH. HAND.
The patriotic thing to do is to uphold the Constitution, the highest law of the land. You know, the document your forefathers fought and died to uphold. If the PATRIOT Act is in conflict with the Constitution, then it is unpatriotic, just like the Members of Congress who voted it in and the President who signed the bill.
Because more taxes offer the government the ability to provide more services.:) The day the government stops spending $5 million on a toilet seat and $10 million on a screwdriver, a day awaited eagerly by the members of the Porcine Aviation Association, that's the day I'll agree that we need to pay more taxes.
If they're tying the new tax to expanding broadband nationwide, I'm fine with it; It isn't the government's place to expand broadband. That's up to the market. While you might think of broadband as a necessity, the rest of the world views things like food, clothing, shelter, education, and public health to be necessities. Let's take care of those things, after that, we can tackle universal broadband or whatever.

I don't think so -- the ports shouldn't show at all. But I don't have any TTL comparisons. This was the result of a SYN stealth scan, not a TCP connect scan, FWIW. It shouldn't show any ports at all if the box is hung or booted into single user mount.

It looks like all the ports are firewalled off by the ISP. So while it's not confirmed, it's pretty obvious to anyone knowledgeable in network admin that the ISP firewalled off all the ports at someone's behest. Perhaps the CRIA, perhaps even Deimos himself.
You already pay tax on your Internet connection if:
You use a dislup, DSL, ISDN or FiOS connection, you are paying into the Universal Service Fund, plus federal, state and local tax on the phone line
Your ISP has a business presence in your state (state sales tax)
You use a cable connection, you are you paying federal, state, and local tax on cable.
You use a mobile broadband network, you are paying federal, state and local tax on cellular service
That's pretty much everybody. I didn't include satellite only because I've never had a satellite connection, and therefore I am unfamiliar with whether there are taxes included on that bill.
In 2005, my world == the automotive industry. If you know anything about the auto industry, then an understanding should come to you. If not, well, let's just say that the Unions have an indirect impact on how they pay their white collar workers.
It sounds like they are only doing this in California, which has ad the IT exemption for decades. For the rest of the country, IT workers were getting overtime until the so-called Fair Pay Act of 2004, which exempts IT workers (and other fields as well) from overtime, in exchange for guaranteeing overtime pay for anyone making less than about $23,000 a year. Of course, there are no IT workers making such a low wage (except in India), so that means all IT workers became affected.
A deadlier disease with lower infection rate might actually be less of a risk: hosts die more quickly and not enough new hosts get infected. As long as it's you who gets infected and not me, I agree.;)
Incidentally - my evil unlocked iPhone works perfectly on T-Mobile - without Visual Voice Mail, but gods, I'll live. So what, precisely, is the point of altering the modem firmware, except to break unlocking? Point out examples of the baseband firmware wreaking havoc on the network; explain how this change benefits users. Unlocking the phone with iActivation, et al., doesn't unlock the SIM card. I'm assuming once you have an unlocked phone, you can install a different SIM card? (Asking, because it might change my mind about getting an iPhone)
The iPhone is the first tablet computer I've seen that inspires the imagination. I want to write programs for it, I want to explore a new user interface. If it runs OS X, treat it like an OS X box and let us get on with writing the programs that will sell the bloody thing. Don't freeze us out while you write such amazing accomplishments as the "Wireless i-Tunes Store" while we're trying to write vertical apps for the medical profession, law, and other fields. I don't see many in the medical profession buying an iPhone for the simple matter that the battery must be factory replaced. Medical workers use the *hell* out of their mobile devices, and so are constantly charging and draining the battery. Most of them buy PDAs/SmartPhones with a second battery and change them out in the middle of the day. The same might be true for lawyers, but I don't know as many lawyers as I do medical workers.;)
You can report someone for any reason whatsoever. As long as you say that the person owes you money, then they will add it to that person's credit report, usually with no documentation whatsoever to back up. It's completely up to you to dispute any inaccuracies, and the burden of proof is on you to prove that you do not owe it.
IOW, as far credit agencies are concerned, you are guilty until proven innocent. Believe it.
Yeah. I keep forgetting. There's Microsoft's system requirements and then there is reality. Reality is always far greater than what Microsoft calls 'minimum system requirements.' To their credit, the link you provide lists their 'recommended system requirements', which are somewhat better, but still not entirely realistic for a power user. They might be okay for someone who does basic Web browsing, office apps, and e-mail, though, as long as they don't try to do many things at once.:)

He seeks to censor the video game, music and movie industries and has made a real ass of himself in the process.

In case you were wondering if the evolution of all modern computing technology is driven by the need for pr0n, here's your proof.
Don't worry about middle class guilt. If things keep going the way they are, neither you nor i will be middle class anyway.

Why on earth would you want to pay more tax?

I, myself was getting overtime pay until 2005.

No, but I run multiple apps on an old Compaq K6-2 450 laptop with 320MB running the latest Xubuntu Feisty Fawn.
Bah. Both will be obliterated in the marketplace by Web 95.
Screw this. I'm waiting for Web 3.11 for Workgroups.

Isn't that pretty much the timeline that Apple official announcements have already implied?
Anyway, this announcement is no shock. 800 mhz systems don't meet the minimum requirements for Microsoft's latest OS, either.
