The ISP appears to be these guys

So the Tesla floats like a duck?
It must be made of wood.
Like a witch.
And what do we do with witches?

I'd rather see faster IO than built-in wireless. I can easily add a dongle for wifi or bluetooth if I want it, but the current architectural constraints mean the Pi's not a great board for a low-end, low-power file server.

The likeliest explanation is that Amazon is no longer paying Canonical enough money for this to be default behavior.

This is a Canadian thread, so the proper reference is to the Currency Act ; specifically, s. 8(2).

Coins are legal tender, but only up to a maximum number of coins depending on the denomination. The most you can use in one transaction is 100 (dimes or nickels).

And past this post, no further information from Slashdot ever reached my location.

And centralize for national surveillance

This will come with a 1.5 gigabit cap to keep the "bandwidth hogs" at bay.

It has nothing to do with expenses. Very few people know how much is the running cost of their car. They just want a new excuse to buy something new.

You might want to retake your civics classes -- I don't think you understand what a democracy is.

The USA is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.

The UK is a Constitutional Monarchy (with a parliamentary implementation of executive powers). It's essentially a Republic.

Switzerland's referendum process makes it more of a democracy. Their current constitution was only adopted in 1999 with direct democracy (through referendums) being a bit over 120 years old or so...

So, I hardily agree with you. "Lets not confuse pompous pronouncements with facts.".

it is 2010, my old athlon XP i bought in 2003 already has two sata ports, my GFs old Pentium 4 has SATA hard drives. I switched to only getting Sata drives in 2005. I really am curious where you found a 2006 machine with NO sata port...

besides, my fav computershop (actual shop with their own stock), lists 4 different IDE drives on their shelves (and in stock currently, the fifth type isnt), ranging from 80 to 320 GB.

Ram and VGA cards tend to be a bit more difficult, but if you dont mind paying a bit more per performance, AGP cards are still readily available, as is DDR ram.

I still agree with the GP though, restoring old machines (esp. servers) often isnt very economical once you need more then one or two spare parts, but for non-obscure hardware most parts are still available (come to think of it, i can still buy socket A mobo's new....)

Your freedom to walk down the street unharmed restricts me from punching you in the face.

Total, absolute freedom might work in the self-regulating anarchisms Robert A. Heinlein wrote about, but even there, people were restricting themselves. By their own free will, granted; but still.

The moral: There are _always_ restrictions. And that is a good thing. Which particular set you prefer... Now _that_ is open for debate :)

Putting something into the public domain does allow re-licensing. And yes, the public domain _is_ a form of licence.

$40K doesn't go very far when a one bedroom apartment in the Chicago area goes for over $900/month (and when I was paying that, people still broke into my car so that's not even a neighborhood I'd consider fit for raising kids), food, auto financing, auto insurance, clothes, and utilities. That's pretty much break even. You know $4000 is 10% of $40K and the feds take a good chunk of that 40K before you even see it. That's some ugly break even accounting after filing taxes and putting that money away. Heaven forbid someone wants to have money for retirement, or even thinking about Christmas (for their kids), school supplies or if they get into an accident.
