Careful with capitilization here. Sounds to me you ARE indeed a "libertarian" but feel that you are even moreso that the Libertarian Party of America. I am very libertarian, and also an LP member. I'd say it's the best thing going for us right now, by a long shot. But in a country where most think we live in a democracy, how can we rely on "we the people" to abolish their own government. Especially when most of them think they work for the government. See 14th amendment/"subject to the laws thereof." We libertarians and Libertarians alike need to sread our message as far and wide as possible, or nothing will change for the better. Republcrats and Demoblicans have no problem accepting the status quo, usually for lack of historical education. See also, IRS, Federal Reserve, Dept of Education, etc.
PS: I cannot read that captcha for the life of me. It's worse than microsoft, yahoo, google, aim, or any other I have ever had to read. Wonder how many tries this will take to submit. Ugh.:-/
5 Commercial Use. The Service is designed for personal use of the Internet and may not be used for commercial purposes. You may not resell or otherwise charge others to use the residential Service. You agree not to use the Service for operation as an Internet service provider, or for any other business enterprise, including, without limitation, IP address translation or similar facilities intended to provide additional access.
6 Servers. You may not operate, or allow others to operate, servers of any type or any other device, equipment, and/or software providing server-like functionality in connection with the Service, unless expressly authorized by Cox.
7 Misuse of Service. You are responsible for any misuse of the Service that occurs through your account. You must therefore take steps to ensure that others do not gain unauthorized access or misuse the Service.
You are responsible for any misuse. IP address translation (NAT?)....doesn't that mean even hooking up 2 computers to your wireless router (even your own computers) is already a violation?
Last but not least...point 9
9 Security. You are solely responsible for the security of any device connected to the Service, including any data stored on that device. Cox recommends that you take appropriate security precautions for any systems connected to the Service. You are responsible for securing any wireless (WiFi) networks connected to your Cox service. Any wireless network, installed by the customer or a Cox representative that is unsecured or "open" and connected to the Cox network will be deemed to be operating as an ISP and subject to the prohibition on commercial use set forth in Section 5 herein.
Emphasis mine. I bet MOST ISPs have similar TOS. (2nd slashdot comment ever...be nice;^)
I've been lurking/. for some time now and just joined today. First comment. I use Windows XP x64 Edition, and recently downloaded Windows Vista Beta 2. Installed that, but don't use it ever for the same reason that I don't use the Mandriva 10.1 installation that is on my computer. No Linux drivers for my 802.11 card. It may be a question of which has to come first, the chicken or the egg, but "people" (sysadmins or home users alike) cannot switch to an OS if they can't get their hardware to work on it, and the hardware manufacturers won't support it until more people use it. Oh well, guess we're stuck with Windows.

IIRC from when I lived in Massachusetts, The Big Dig is being managed by the federal government because it involved interstate highway (I-93)....FWIW
