  on Can A Phone Service Provider Block Calls To Numbers It Doesn't Like?

  The Open Store

  on And Here Come The Attacks On 'Free' Economics
  When I opened my store The Open Store (which was the first Linux brick and mortar store in the US. I was talking to RMS about it, he kept mentioning I should call it The Free Store. I was like, no, I don't want people thinking brand new computers were free. I was not in the best area of town, I knew that wouldn't play well.

  on Despite MN Supreme Court Ruling, Breathalyzer Manufacturer Refuses to Turn Over Source Code
  Been saying it for years. Why don't we as a community build Systems to do it? I can setup the e-voting system. Breathalyzer, I know nothing about.

  Piracy

  on Wait, Now NBC Claims Video Piracy Is Under Control?
  They need to stop suing people that download. I took the blue line metro here in LA today and at least 3 people came by and asked if I wanted to buy dvd's of the new movies. Clear out the illegal immigrants that are selling pirated dvds then go on if you want.

  Ford

  on Palm Realizes It's Not Apple; Closes Retail Shops
  Um without the Model T, Ford would have sunk, without the Taurus. it would have sunk too. Granted its not doing well now, but its they have been around for almost a 100 years. Almost all companies, Without Product X, they would have sunk. Bad argument.

  Why?

  on It's Election Season: Time For Presidential Candidates To Announce That The Internet Is Good
  Why does the gov't need to be involved on this? Its a private sector issue. Hell how much money will they waste talking about it, let alone doing anything about it. I hate when everyone wants the gov't to do everything for them. You want broadband in the middle of nowhere? Start a company, and do something about it yourself.
