Faking a demo isn't really a problem at all. You just have to be smart enough NOT TO GET CAUGHT. I've faked dozens of demos in my lifetime (and, yes, I still sleep okay).
But, then, I'm female and we're used to faking it realistically.
Having worked for some very high tech companies where the employees would hardly fit the classification of illiterate or ignorant, I don' think your comment is on the mark. In fact, I would say it is f&*#ing ignorant.
Books and Newspapers are written by people who are supposed to be good at communications, but often the articles are confusing, misleading, uninformed, biased or just plain wrong.
The truth is that people are doing the communicating and people are flawed. I believe emails can have all of the flaws of people, just amplified because they believe email to be an informal communication. Coupled with the reasons mentioned in RFA, emails are certainly misunderstood, but not necessarily more so than say a letter.
So, how are they going to come up with those estimates of illegal file sharing. And how can I best skew their data?
I wonder if I could get all slash-dotters to go along with a massive download of Milli Vanilli songs just to throw them off?
Maybe if someone would CLEARLY delineate the specific problems this protocol is meant to address and then explain exactly what the benefit is, instead of just doing a lot of comparisons without a benefit analysis, non-geeks like myself could get the gist of what they're trying to say.
Disclaimer: I'm not a geek, but some of my best friends (and relatives) are.
3554 Amun is an small metalic asteroid that crosses Earth's pass (not on collission course) and contains over 20 trillion US dollars worth of precious metal. It is a great fact to know when trying to explain to flat-earth types that don't understand why we waste money on space travel.
We should continue exploration not only for the monetary return on investment (ROI), but rather BECAUSE IT'S THERE!
It really isn't as simple as that. Having spent 20 years in the industry (until I burned out, not just with a spark, but with a spectacular flame), one must really take into account the entire industry. Not just that of the dot.coms, but the whole telecommunications industry. There is no room, in the governments' minds (Sorry, Bill - your administration, too) for those who would change the status quo. Whether it's Google or SBC or whomever, the administrations all seem to back the big names. Safer? Maybe. More lucrative? (on the side of course) Certainly. Don't expect fairness. Expect to get screwed and you won't be disappointed.
Singed, Been there, done that, need the vaseline 'cause I've been screwed...
So I took all of my photos and scanned them (if they were not already digital). Then I backed them up onto CDs. Then I had my brother back them up on his RAID server. Of course I also had the printed copies and copies on my hard drive.
One worm destroyed my hard drive. One house fire destroyed my CDs and printed copies. Then I found out my brother had destroyed his RAID array by upgrading incorrectly. My thinks think she's adopted because I have no pictures of her as a small child!
Bottom Line? No solution is infallible.
What makes you think that AOL users can be educated? In English or in any other subject? How about we, the people, get our heads together and grass-root market LINUX so we can have something in our IN boxes and chat boxes other than viruses and worms? It only took one worm to make me switch!

Why should I trust politifact.com? They can't even add! (7+1+14+488=500? Not when I went to school!)
It's not SCHOOL, It's SKOOL!
DOOM to all non-/.ers!!!!

You're f*%ing welcome. But I did not curse. You assume you know what I mean...

Perhaps the reason you are not remembering correctly is that you have a memory leak as well. Must be that backward, forward thing again.
I do not think it's going to affect me personally at all? Why are you worried?
Ah-ha! But can the kids tell where their parents are?

Shagadelic?
Scuttle the monkey perhaps?
Cthulu doesn't like implanted chips either...

Just go down to your local discount retailer and buy one of those cheap mini-refrigerators. Stick your CPU in there.
