I live in Delta, British Columbia. I have pretty much the same plan as you (for my cable modem). Its 5 GB d/l and 1 GB u/l. If you go past that you are royally screwed over with fees!
Well, if someone else had it they would get sued for trademark infingment. I dont really expect someone to register microsoft.net and actually put it to good use. The companies dont want people stealing impressions meant for them, so they rightly deserve the domain. You are right, they do not deserve all the TLD; but the truth is that they own the trademark and therefor have every right to own the other TLDs.
Well, you may as well give it up, then. You're not going to 'see evidence of god' that your atheistic little mind will be able to wrap around.
So I am little minded because I dont follow the "status quo" of today started 2000 years ago? I am little minded because I don't automatically inherit my elders beliefs? I am little minded because I take a scientific look at life and the universe? If anything, that would make a person more open minded.
You blew it. There's this thing called 'faith' and if you're incapable of 'faith' no amount of rationalism can save you.
faith?.. Ok, maybe I should ask you a question: Do you have any evidence to back your post up? Basically, what you are saying is that people should have faith just because. You think your way is the correct one and people should follow because you cant explain things? There is no point
to try to make up beliefs just because people cant comprehend what the "meaning of life" (if there is one, that is).
Anyway, wait until you're a little older. It's common for snot-nosed kids to carry on about their lack of faith. It's a sign of immaturity, and we have patience that you'll grow out of it.
So, in a nutshell, your point is that people get more ignorant when they age. Well, age doesn't discriminate. What this "lack of faith" deal you were talking about is just human evolution. Putting old ways and methods behind us is how we evolve.
I am all for people believing what they want to believe, as long as they dont try to push it on others. I hope you can face the fact that everyone
doesn't believe in a god, and you shouldn't try to denounce them everytime they open their mouth.
In this situation, I think it would be better just to release an update to slashcode to fix the problem in a day or two, rather than tell everyone now. I think this would be better for a couple of reasons:
(this is assuming it is a slashcode hole)
1) Because this is not a hole that everyone knows how to exploit, so if its more secretive it will give time for everyone to upgrade. The hackers seemed nice about their hack; so its better to trust them with the power to take down all the systems running slashcode for a long period of time than it would be to give the power to a huge group of people for a short time.
2) Say if it was a hole in apache for example, its better to tell everyone about it because obviously a few crackers/hackers allready know about it. We wouldn't know how honest these hackers would be with the power, so its safer to eliminate it asap. In this situation with the hack of slashdot, I think we can trust them.
3) Not everyone will be able to patch their own slashcode so it leaves the newbies with the soap dropped in the showers of a maximum security prison.

This sounds like a very good idea for people other than me! Its not like I am going to travel a couple of hours (at the least) to go rooting through someones garbage. No, this is not meant to be a troll, but I don't waste my time with useless scavanger hunts (I go on/. instead:)... And with the current state of gas prices now I am sure one is going to have to take the bus or pay through their teeth.
(Hopefully a little constructive criticism to add to the discussion, and this is not a troll!)
I think a better question would be "Is Atari even a company anymore?". Even if they were, I bet they dont even have enough money for a cheap Vientnamese hooker; let alone fund legal prosecution of every person who decides to make their own portable atari.
Does it really matter? The in the time it takes to add an apostraphe and an "e" I could be doing a lot more constructive things. Yes, I do know the difference, but does it really matter? I think not
Dood! Your a geek, there is nothing wrong with that. I dont find it sad to buy a PDA just to play doom. A lot of geeks do stupid things like that, its what makes us geeks! Hey, I've got tetris + pong to play with on my graphics calculator. It doesn't matter how, but all geeks must have an electronics device of some sort with them at all times. Now that should be a prerequisite to even get a slashdot account, let alone call yourself a geek.
I dont know about anyone else, but I am sick and tired of people even joking about beowulf clusters! People being serious about their comments was bad enough. If I see anyone type "beowulf" one more time I am going to go on a killing rampage!
Yah really, these people knew that they can only stay for 6 years when they got their visas. Now they have to leave. Its nothing to get angry/excited about, it was in the friggen contract! I wish everyone could be as layed back about these things as you:)
I bet you anything once these puppies hit the market there will be a rash of anti-government milita standoffs. All they need now is a huge propane truck and they would be set for the next five years.
Have you ever seen those mac "think different" commercials? Well it seems like Apple doesn't follow their advertising. This is just the same old crap all the other huge businesses pull, they are not any different from other corporate bullies. If Apple were smart they would realize that their user base is a lot more important than a few white lies and a couple of leaked secrets. They are the only ones looseing in this fiasco.
Ok, 8 companies in. 3,350 (just a wild figure that came out of nowhere) to go. When it hits 300, that will be the day when I give damn. Until then, I consider this vapor. IMO, this is just going to fall down into the giant pit of crappy ideas that never amounted to anything. This may sound a little ignorant, but I really dont care. It seems like every day we here about crap like this that doesn't amount to anything. Even if this does amount to something, will it really concern us?
Just when we thought you were dead you came back to suprise us all! Good work/. team. I really enjoy listening to the episodes. Hopefully this isn't that last croak for GIS, but we will have to wait and see.

Wow, thats one thing we need more of; overly cute over priced toys will be the cause of our socity's downfall.
This is obviously offtopic, but wasn't there a secret supersonic plane being developed by the US airforce called the Aurora?

Think of the pr0n! that 932MB is 600MB too much, which all of that can be used for pr0n! This is not a pr0n friendly OS.
Well, the time that it took to right it is now irrelevant. Its the point that matters.
