You are using the internet thanks to hippy government. The government started the internet since no company would take the risk to see if it would be succesful. X.25, a non-commie commercial network, lost.
You use free hippy roads, you leave your house and drive on toll-free hippy roads and buy things from businesses, increasing trade.
Let the govt provide ISP service, private corporations who will do things like screw with third party VOIP have necessitated this.
WPA is much better since it uses for example changing session keys. The FBI took advantage of this WEP disadvantage to crack keys, they cannot do this with WPA.
Sniffing WEP traffic allows you to better determine the session key, sniffing WPA key won't help you since the session key is regenerated regularly. Of course the WPA PSK(private shared key) is susceptible but just choose a large random key and you're fine.
Notice how this isn't high flying capitalist third world and there aren't wires everywhere blocking out the sky. That's because the government has granted them a monopoly to provide wiring, if they allowed anyone to do this you wouldn't like the results.
Popups are the most lucrative online ads coming in at around $4-$5 CPM. If they could provide popups, 1 every 24 hrs per user, they wouldn't ever have to consider charging.
And with everyone trying to block all the banners, text ads, etc etc.. basically all form of advertising, despite the fact that fewer people are willing to pay online subscription fees. Basically people need to get realistic very soon. What's it going to be?
That's because they don't compete head on with Dell. Dell doesn't and cannot sell Apple hardware for good reason. There was a good article in Business Week about this, it's common knowledge. Expect HP to shed their online PC selling business soon.
The only way to make money in the PC biz is by selling directly to consumers, bypassing the supply chain of stores, merchants, etc. But this conflicts with, among other things, IBM's consulting business which relies upon dealing with people, building relationships, rubbing backs, etc., etc.
HP faces a similar problem. The only way for them to make money in the PC biz is to sell directly to consumers. But this conflicts with their need for pushing printers and printer supplies which requires using the supply chain.
Instead HP is shedding money with their PC selling business and not doing so well in the printer biz. Good job Carly! But I digress.
Let the Chinese have the fun task of competing head on with Dell, IBM will do what they do best.
Not to be mean but some of you trekkie / D&D types are really scary. Don't get me wrong, I love to program, but I get scared when I see your long greasy hair/cowboy hat/D&D attire.
Good points, it's common sense, this is jerk behavior. It's amazing how many m$ drones there are around here, I wonder how many of them come from the microsoft.com domain?
That's another difference, thanks for bringing that up. A judge has already declared Microsoft a monopoly. You can read the findings of fact here. You can do a find for "Microsoft enjoys monopoly power in the relevant market".

Wow that's some pretty good spin. Tom DeLay would be interested in your services!
mod this down.

We just want a net pipe. We don't want you to rape us. Much like we just want unencumbered roads, we don't want a toll booth out of our driveway.
Yet they fight municipal broadband.
Profit maximization can only go so far.

IBM is faced with the same dillema HP faces.

Easy shmeezy.
everybody and their mother has a unification theory now and they're willing to take your money before explaining it.
But when they look at paying out the nose for a MS Office upgrade it might just provide inspiration.
they were deemed a monopoly, given a slap on the wrist and continued their ways.

Let's see, listen to a slashdot user or a judge. Tough one. At any rate, with that tone, it's no use discussing this with you, enjoy your day.

Microsoft controls the OS so they could integrate smart tags for their benefit and control and the user has no choice.
vs Google toolbar which you can optionally download. Don't like it, don't download it.
Simple.
...yet you wonder why people want municipal broadband...
d.
Imagine if they charged a toll everytime you left your driveway.
Now imagine the extra commerce that would happen if there was no toll.
Thanks for making me spit up my sandwich.
it's free printed money. Thanks repubs! You controll all 3 branches now, no excuse.
Let's say you get a 50 ms LCD so that means it refreshes every 1/.050 times or the Hz is 20.
So a 50ms LCD is like a 20Hz monitor(not taking into account the fact of diodes lingering on).
