Visa requires stringent checks for ANY digital content.

When i started a little pr0n site a couple years ago, i had to pay VISA $750 for a credit and background check, and $350 a year to renew.

But why pay 47 pennies to download a song when you can pay $1200 for bottle service at a nightclub and hear it played REALLY LOUD.

AOL tosses Netscape into the dustbin of history

Pride Cometh before the fall.

Back in the early days of public Internet, the only TCP/IP stack, dialer, and browser package was NETSCAPE.

As an ISP, i had no choice but to pay NETSCAPE $5 (i'm assuming the NDC has expired) for every single new user.

Thats right, NETSCAPE was getting five bucks (more or less) for every new user of the Internet.

Meanwhile, Bill Gates believed nobody would be Interested in the new "internet" stuff untill it was fast enough to watch movies. NETSCAPE was totally under his radar.

Then one day, Marc Andreeson, the main Wonk at NETSCAPE gave a great speech, not only extolling the virtues of their products, but bragging that they were no only growing faster than Microsoft, but that they had a replacement desktop in tyhe works.

HINT: do not prod sleeping giants with pointy sticks.

The first version of the Microsoft IEAK was rushed into distribution, gicing ISP's a free alternative to netscape.

That was the beginning of the wimpering ending we will see Feb 1.

She seemed unconcerned.

Paris was at PURE nightclub, part of a $500,000 appearance package for her and her sister.

I guess the half a mil softened the blow for her.

Nevertheless she didn't even recognize me in the crowd. So maybe she was alittle distracted.

Wouldn't a paintball gun be cheaper?

I thonk this idea appeared in sci-fi about 50 years ago.

But, the gendarmes seem to loath the simple solution, here in las vegas, they shoot knife wielding subjects rather than throw a net over them.

Return it, get the $20,000 or offer "unopened box"

if you don't open the box, there is no contract.

if you do, and discover terms you don't like, return it for the cash.

oh, and whatever happened to the DOCTRINE OF FIRST SALE, which provides that copyright owners may not legally prevent resale of physical product.

make 700 MHZ PUBLIC ACCESS

with modern MIMO technology, and strict part 15 regulation. EVERYBODY can use 700 mhz spectrum without interference.

in fact, cooperative distribution with geographic (GPS) routing can provide gigabit bandwidth to every node.

it not free, it's USER OWNED.

Jelly Beans Get Me Zonkered

Sure you would think its just the sugar, but buy a pack of jelly beans and gobble about half of them.

Purists may wish to try all red or all green.

The buzz is unmistakable, but please don't be telling any parents, the doctors prefer that you spend thousdands "treating" these effects, instead of simply removing chemical dyes from their diet.

The hangover is a bitch too.

If we ask Her Majesty real nice, will England take us back?

I am not saying you have a better government then the USA, but at least you have someone at the top that you love.

The republicans tout "Family Values" and fight pot, porn, and poker, yet steal the mothers away from children by creating an economy in which parents need three full time jobs just to meet living expenses.

Las Vegas Casino Busted couple putting fake $100s in slots.

The bill acceptor, did just that.

Many bill readers in slot machines read a "signature" from the magnetic ink used in USA bills but apparently the bill counters in the count room use more sophisticated image recognition.

When the bills were rejected in the count room, the security cams revealed the faces (but not the identities) of the passers.

What identified them was their SLOT CLUB CARD, which they had inserted in the machine prior to passing the bills.

FCC chairman says ‘broadband for all!’

want broadband everywhere? MAKE 700 MHz PUBLIC

The thing that is holding back broadband in rural america is lack of public bandwidth.

The greedy carriers buy bandwidth, then warehouse it.

Make all the newly available 700 MHz available to the public (including public safety) via part 15 radios, similar to WI-FI, but with stricter rules for mesh forming and emergency responder's prioritization.

Together with geographic routing, an IPV6-like scheme in which the first 64 bits are latitude and longitude, and MIMO, opening 700 to the public will allow thousands of small WI-FI operators to expand into unserved areas.

The carriers would not be cut out, they can build right alongside the mom and pop pops.

Sounds like my HONDA

I had a HONDA CIVIC that would sometimes stop, completely, at random times.

The only solution was to disconnect the battery so the onboard computer would reboot.
