    upset about it and barely anyone else cares. NAACP gave a standard "thats wrong" but other than that it is basically a bunch of white people that probably do not have a single black friend getting upset about this.

    Meet some black people before attempting to feel outrage on their behalf.

    even have access to much of that data. Just cause he is top dog does not in any way mean he should have access to the witness protection records. He doesnt need to know that information, and if he does he should have to go through the proper channels. This is exactly why.

    In many cases, the higher upthe person, the LESS data they need from the computer systems.

    I think if a developer is working on ACID test conformity they are pretty close. Microsoft isnt even close to that point of worrying about that yet and looks like they wont ever be.

    That is kind of cute, patents are not meant for the small guy, they are designed for the big players to crush the little guy.

    The concept of that independant inventor needing patents to protect his work,well that all died in the 50's

    Now it is corporatons using patents to prevent the little guy from even trying.

    It is amazing how your replies can be in complete sentances, you know with all the parts required. I am guessing you a just a whiney democrat that actually thinks people are concerned with terrorism (hint they are not anymore and havent been for about 2 years, get with the times) In the end, please stop talking, you plainly think you are better than everyone, but in reality, no one wants to listen to you on the internet (gee, does that sound like your everyday life at all?)

    Regulation isnt always considered bad by one group or the other. It is a give an take situation.

    Bandwidth is so cheap it is insane. Get shared hosting server account, I have seen them for as little as $5 a month (and they have PLENTY of bandwidth) and put it there. It comes to a whopping 60 bugs a year. It isnt a big deal.
    Plus you have a nice shared server for other purposes such as testing and websites.

    The administrative "headache" means simply FTPing some files over once in a while.

    I honestly dont see why people make this into a big deal. it is a trivial matter. Put some files on an ftp. and be done with it. you may be talking a gig a release, but most vservices give you enough space for 12 releases. More than adequate for the pennies a day you will be paying.

    since no one is getting sued, since the major ISPs, charter, time warner and Ameritech told the RIAA to go get bent.

    Hopefully more ISPs just tell them to FUCK OFF, nasty letter to follow. The lawsuits come to a crashing end because judges simply dont give a shit to bother signing off on a REAL subpeona, not those fake ones the music industry gets to write themselves.

    If ISPs were smart they would just say "hey we dont keep logs of who was at what ip for that long, those logs may exist in our backup vault, but that will cost a considerable amount of money, we will be sending you a bill for 90,000 dollars payable before you get your info"

    They may be part of the generation that did that, but doest that suddenly make them the pioneers that actually did something, doubtful, particularly if they need someone from Geek Squad to help.

    Rednecks are part of the generation that made the current day internet, but I dont see anyone rushing to give them credit for it.

    A small percentage of a generation actually does something, the rest just take credit for it.

    I dont really care if you want me to qualify that mormon missionars blah blah blah.

    Mormons are associated with dressing up and going door to door. That is how they are identified. Catholics do not really have anything to make them identifiable. (The priest white band thing makes no sense in this comparison) Mormons do have something that can make some of them quite identifiable...In fact for most of the country, the only time they come knowingly into contact with a mormon is when they answer the door for one. Catholics contact on the other hand is quite common place but since no particular characteristic stands out, no one even knows it. Catholics are not a tiny minority like mormons are. Particularly in my area, Wisconsin where many people know "the mormon family" of their town because literally, there is only one family.

    Oh and it isnt exactly shocking that a college in Utah would have a higher percentage of mormons...that isnt representative of well...anywhere else in the nation.

The days of people upgrading their OS itself are long over. They buy a new computer, and if that computer still works, the upgrade to vista isnt gonna happen
