The FCC will never open the spectrum to everyone. Doing so would put them out of a job. They are not about to sign their jobs away for advancing anything regardless of how much better it will make society.
"Watch this..after the war (this summer or 4 weeks....depends on the when we start the war), gas will drop to below a dollar a gallon (at least in the US)."
Which planet will this be on again? I need to know, I want to move there when this happens.
I'd buy a TiVo right now if it were not for the subscription fee, and I think that's how a lot of people feel about TiVo right now. I don't have a subscription fee for my VCR, I shouldnt have one for a PVR either.
Not to mention McDonalds sells healthy food. Actually all of their food is healthy. It's eating too much of it and not balancing your diet that does bad things to do (but most people ignore that).
I have the same service. Well worth the $5. We get maybe 1 call a month that gets through because they actually post their listed phone number on callerID.
Does this mean videos would leak on the net like the Pam & Tommy Lee video? Just what do they dream about? What does Britney Spears dream about? Or Ozzy Ozbourne? On second thought... I don't want to know.
I have been reading your articles and books for longer than I care to remember. I've read about your son growing up, your dogs, your relocations, vacations and everything else under the sun. When will the last article 'So Long, I Retire' by Dave Barry come up?

Ahh, I do so love those stupid enough to close their mind to the world around them. I bet you don't listen to the radio either. Or read books.

"Not superior, but definitely not wasting my valuable time while being programmed into impulse buying."
I've watched TV almost my entire life. I can't recall ever seeing an ad and going out to buy it.
Oh and I have hobbies also. A lot of them.
You need to relax a little.

You don't think there are about 500 banks out there that will give you a $200 limit regardless of your credit history? What world do you live in?
No no... he said 'European'. You must have read it wrong.
US has their flag on it... I guess we do. Hey, worked in the past.
I think you are right on the money. It's the best solution I have read about to date.
Everyone that gives crap one about this 'news' report raise your hand. Anyone?

bla blah blah. So why didn't you just buy bandwidth shaping hardware that limits P2P?
Personal info?
Common now. I'd love to see how many 'Bill Gates' accounts there are at NYT online...

Fax eBay on nicely official letterhead
?
Profit!
Anything over $100 should never be bought on eBay. That's my rule anyhow. Our household has bought about a dozen items off eBay, zero ripoffs so far.
Why use his fax machine? They also take email... hell you don't even have to visit his office in person.

"Starcraft blows."
The best selling RTS of all time blows. Uh-huh.

"How's the wife doing ya, Taco?"
Isn't that a tad too personal to be asking him?
Like today would be any different if the 'warez pirates didn't fuck it up'. Profits are profits - no matter if warez exists or not.
Dave,

...because you already know the answer to your question. Don't be a jerk.
Dirk
