Isn't Earth's orbit intimately mingled with it's moon?? How precise can the potential impact be measured in relation to this fact? I think Earth's orbit is fine where it is...
The only reason people are going after the telecoms is to get dirt on the administration.
This isn't the case with myself, and I'm almost certain not the case with a lot of people. This is about every American's right to privacy, and the right to fight back when that privacy has been violated.
It isn't like anyone was harmed by the program that wasn't already participating in criminal activity connected to the program (suspected terrorists).
This reads like the standard "if you haven't got anything to hide then why worry about your right to privacy?" argument.
If I'm not suspect in any crimes, then my communications should be kept confidential to the utmost degree. Otherwise, expect to hear from me.
I'm sorry, but telecoms gaining immunity fits far too perfectly in America's paradigm. Thomas Paine has been rolling over in his grave since the mid 70's. I'm surprised the right to bear arms was upheld in Washington, but that is less of an issue where industry is concerned IMO.
Good to know a local ISP is surviving. It's like running a railroad shipping company and leasing the use of the railroads..
Providers already have us once for the connection. They don't have to provide us anything more, and we'll take it. Of course we will. Now I have to pay for good access to usenet, which means I don't use usenet.
other than the potential privacy issues that could come up with some people i really had no qualms moving my home-hosted services over to google. they've got more bandwidth than even my business class cable could offer, and their apps aren't that bad.
for a small company or a personal domain i don't see anything wrong with having a free option. i think that it indeed encroaches on hosting companies. for some small shops this is their bread and butter. google is giving it away free. something i hadn't seen another company offer until them. is any other companies offering anything similar now?
It sets a chilling precedent. Where ownership of the equipment, content, and facilities providing it are all subtracted from an otherwise innocuous web interface.
I agree that the 'virtual medium' tends to route around. It should bring up some interesting conversation.
That is exactly the case. It's a step beyond being over zealous with your personal link site. Dare I say idiots?
I think I should be able to store my own purchased content for personal use on a remote server. Anything more than that and you are on a slippery slope.
It isn't 1994 anymore.
you'll need to have more on the table than a vanilla set of services and performance. it's quite a saturated market. i don't think i'd waste my time. i don't even host my own stuff anymore since google started offering free hosting.

I only can speak about the effects of exposed tattoos in the corporate workplace.
After graduating college, I got a job as a systems analyst at a well known company. After receiving my first paycheck I immediately began my dream of getting a japanese body suit.
My mods: I've two full half sleeves, chest peices, and a back peice that runs from the top of my shoulders to the backs of my legs; this is still being worked on, it was started in 2003.
When I first got the half sleeves a couple of years ago, I remember being immediately struck with the difference it made on "first impressions"
My sleeves go down right above my elbows, so most short sleeve button down shirts only reveal a 1-2" band of tattooed skin below the sleeve bottom.
This small amount of exposed tattoo was enough to get negative reactions from 50% of the people who I see on a daily basis. Working in a diverse environment, many belief systems and cultures are in play.
I found that I was able to get a larger percentage of positive reactions when meeting people if I covered up by wearing long sleeves.
On one offsite, my organization went to the lake and yours truly decided to let go and remove my shirt. This exposed a large group of diverse people to my back peice. Things were very quiet, people appeared to be doing their best to ignore me altogether.
Conclusion: It is generally not acceptable in a large coporate environment, so know your limitations at work. You WILL get negative reactions from people. You may feel compelled to go out of your way to make new people feel comfortable around you, in order to overcompensate for their first impression of you. I have found that for the sake of my own career advancement, covering up my arms is MUCH easier than educating every Tom, Dick, and Harry on my choice to permanently alter my skin's appearance (that is exhausting). I want co-workers/clients to feel comfortable all the time, if that means covering up then it's a small price to pay for the paycheck.
Some will probably not agree with hiding the modifications, for those highly empathetic people like myself, covering up is easy and it works.

This is even funny to me.

This is another example of the systemic problem that is in law making. The Earth is 4 billion years old dummies.

I agree. I'm not surprised. Of the remaining local ISP's in the U.S. how many still host local usenet servers for their customers?
i can use this to parse with easily in my own apps
