You have a 8 mbps connection? What city, what company, and how much??? I have only a 5mmbps connection, and I get about 615 KB/S Downstream... Please imform me, so I might upgrade, the extra bandwidth my ISP gave me (3 to 5 mbps) cut off about 25% of my gentoo installation and updates, another 3 mbps would be a great help.
sorry for the OT, but I thought many users might be interested in a faster service.
If you haven't read this... you should. Very interesting, and there are many good points about the idea of Sanctuary during wartime, and how it is violated (thus forfeited).
I live in a capitalist society, so I am obviously biased on that view. I like my capitalism, but I am not rich. I work for a school, and make less than 14000 a year based on GROSS before taxes, working full time.
But I'm working on becoming more. I'm studying so that I can build some of the ideas I have, and I will work for that, I don't believe that I should be FORCED by a gov't to give those ideas up.
A good example is Bill Gates. Richest man on Earth, in monetary value. Is he a greedy capitalist? not really, if you look at the strict facts. He has donated over $11 billion, meaning he's donated more than anyone else has. This means that he's a great humanitarian.
While I am a fan of Open Source, and helping others out, I believe that it should be voluntary, as it is here in the States, not mandatory, as it is in China.
And my last point is, if the Chinese people don't have access to see the rest of the world (via the Net or whatever), how are they going to know that life sucks. How are they going to band together to get that freedom. By keeping their people in ignorance of the world, they can make their people believe that this is the way it's supposed to be, and they have no scale to judge it by.
in Texas (where the post comes from and I live) it is the law that you have to move on to the shoulder to allow persons moving faster than you to pass. The is even if you are doing the speed limit. To do otherwise is classified as "impedance of the flow of traffic" and is punishable by a fine of $180 in Travis County. (list on the back of the ticket). I have witnessed ONE person pulled over for this, as I passed him on the right doing the speed limit.

I think it was more along the lines of "I hope the boss doesn't get this or he'll find my pr0n stash on the corporate laptop"

I say that it should all be included, but modularized, so that it can be disabled.
Then we could sue THEM for downloading OUR content!!!
