I have no coverage problems with Sprint and I travel regularly for work... What are you basing your opinion on exactly? I'm not saying that I never roam (and really, since most plans include free roaming, do you track when you roam ?) , just that I rarely have no service and when I am in a spot with no service, I can move 20 ft either direction and have service.

Unfortunately, there's still a lot of businesses running ie6 internally, so if you are (or work for) a software vendor that happens to sell/distribute/support web apps it's still a big consideration.

gzip is great as long as you're not supporting ie6

You mean all those ads charter has been showing saying they just upped my speed for free are lies?

You're not missing anything, refer to The apache bug tracker for details....

So because you're a white Eastern European Engineer you can't be a redneck? Well, I guess that depends on your definition of redneck, however, I know plenty of rednecks from all over the world. While I'm not saying you are, Location and Profession do not determine whether or not you are a redneck, if it did then profiling would be more appropriate in all cases. You don't think profiling is a good thing do you ?

This is why things like secure e-mail were created, in many cases you something like port authority (now websense, unfortunately the page has been redirected but not setup) that scans outbound email for confidential information and if found, sends an email with a link to the sender so that they can fill out a few questions for the recipient to answer. Only if all questions are answered corectly, will the https connection allow viewing of the message...

Personally, I'm excited that I might actually be able to host a web server at home without a business account. The extra speed is nice, but I really don't use the capacity of the connection I have now......

two-thirds is already required for amendments to the constitution, we have 27 of them now. two-thirds is what is defined by the constitution, so the question is do you want to restore the power of the constitution or serve your own needs? If you're going to advocate a change at least understand the implications of said change..... This change would effectively be an amendment to the constitution therefore it would require 2/3 of states to agree to even be of use ..... .

Actually, the way it was originally set up, is that the people voted for state congress and your state's congress appointed your US Congress critter, this was changed with the 17th Amendment. The 17th Amendment gave you and I the right to elect our US congressional representatives by popular vote. It was shortly after this amendment that things like "you're highway speed limit will 55mph or you will get no funding" started happening. Don't believe me ? Read it yourself

So the trick is, get the 17th amendment repealed and you don't need to pass another law to get shit back under control :)

You must be new here....

I like Pimp personally :)

They'd be the only government office that does....

Yea, those that are bothered by this will simply roll their clocks back to 2009, if that doesn't work it's a matter of finding the registry key or other config setting that affects this. Worst case, and hack the exe so that it thinks it shutdown. Best case, people with either go back to XP or buy 7.

It's the evil bit http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3514.html
