If you had told me in 1999 that my Internet connection in 2011 would in fact be more limited than my current connection I would have laughed.
It's difficult for me to accept, but in 2011, I'm now actually envious of the cable Internet connection I had in 1999 (truly unlimited bandwidth). I long for the wild west days of the Internet:(
I am not sure how one can take another's comments with anything larger than a grain of salt when said person inserts personal insults into every paragraph.
I must have touched a nerve for you to take this personal and attempt to insult me, insinuate that I was a Nazi, and claim that I am either stupid/evil. I do not have a problem with the development of medical science, what I do have a problem is with allowing persons who should have died in childhood to be allowed to spread their seeds.
Is it fair for that person's children, or their children to be born with the same genetic disease or susceptibility to a disease such as the deadly diarrhea in the article.
If we allowed nature to run it's course, eventually we would have weeded out all children who are susceptible to this form of disease and we would remain with a healthier population in general. Is it fair for society to have to absorb the costs of another un-fit, unproductive citizen?
Whether you like it or not, every sick person who is not producing something, drains society.
This is going to sound cruel but, we don't need any more people on the planet.
Especially, the weakest people who nature would have killed off anyways.
We are really throwing a monkey's wrench into the evolutionary machine, with saving the world's weakest people and allowing them to further breed.
Go ahead and mod this down for being "racist"
"Microsoft does not need to pay one cent to place its search engine in the lead position on its browser, which sits on the vast majority of PCs in the world"."
Contrary to the quote, by placing it's own search engine into IE7 Microsoft is paying in that it is not selling that function to another company, like how Google is paying Mozilla and Dell.
Microsoft is in a sense paying in terms of lost revenue that they could have been earning if they decided to sell that function to lets say, Google.
But does that make sense?
I think alot of people here have a serious case of the "Tall Poppy" syndrome.
"New 'Hairy Lobster' Crustacean Discovered and Classified"
Was it just me, or did anyone else read that and think of some government agency trying to classify and cover up a secret new form of life?
"With the number of cellular devices sold in 2005 far beyond that of Windows PCs and no choice of anti-virus protection for most cellular device customers, should the cell carriers listen more closely to the anti-virus vendors?"
The cell phone vendors really should listen, because they are about to get extorted the same way that pc users have been for the last 15 years.
It is obviously in the anti-virus industry's best interest to secretly fund the development of new viri. In order that the company may operate under the leagal osposis of offering "protection"
Now what does this sound familiar to?
Oh and in other news, the Sorpranos are comming back for the 6th season in a few weeks.
Just out source these complicated credit card applications to chinese and indian college students, after all, once you are done college your job is going to be outsourced as well.
Am I the only one who thinks this site has been blown way out of proportion?
Sure the creator promises that your ad will be in place until 2010, but honestly, who is going to view that page more than once ?
Especially since in the FAQ it states that you are not allowed to modify your images once they have been posted. This page is going to be stagnet for the next 5 years and the visitor numbers will drop substantialy after the first few months.

This probably happens alot and we are just unaware, but by the sounds of this, that guy who just made your quiznos Chicken Carbonara on whole wheat, might have added a little extra ingredient...
I keep hearing usenet in the news, it's as if the media is enticing the RIAA to do something. I mean in every article I read, they say something how it's better than P2P and that the RIAA hasn't touched it.
Well so much for flying under the radar.
Pretty soon usenet is going to be full of dummy files, dummy posts, and dummy p2p users.
Usenet was the final frontier, 2006 will be the end as we know it.
