The idea that a fax machine could ever replace email for sending documents is laughable. I only have a fax number for the few people who do still use them, but the fax still arrives via email.
The suggestion that an ancient mail service could ever be an option is just down right foolish. Who can afford to send documents via mail? Not only prohibitively expensive (Think thousands of documents in one organisation) but it is also inefficient. Email will get the documents to me in less than one second whereas a man riding a donkey will take many many hours and may still end up at the wrong location (any location other than where I am at).
You are clearly a little behind in how things work these days. The day the Internet disappears we are all fucked. (fortunately it is very unlikely to go offline)
The problem is that people cite The NewYork Times as a credible source when it is not publicly accessible. People should only cite sources to which other people have access to, if the source is behind a pay wall then only a select few can access it.
It's people with your type of ignorant closed mind that cause many of the problems in this world. You think everyone is exactly, or should be exactly like you.
I've got news for you. Not everyone is exactly the same as you. Many of us cannot work without access to email, or even the Internet in general. How exactly are documents supposed to reach me without email? Some of us don't have the luxury of sitting in a rocking chair on the porch waiting for the mailman to come past.
Most security measures are designed to thwart low level attacks.
A 4 digit pin number will indeed keep most attackers at bay, same goes for screen-saver passwords. Or even the lock on your front door.
Although I can not deny the problem that exists when highly confidential data is protected ONLY by one of these low level options, similar to using a $2 padlock to secure a missile silo.
it is a total failure, iinet has already provided the communicatino minister with ample evidence of this, but he's commited to being a total idiot it seems.
The whole point of censorship is to thwart opposing opinion, the ministers apparent asshattery should come as no surprise.
Spoken by someone talking out of their ass and generally without a clue. Have you met me? Do you know anything about my life? No, of course not. You'd have no idea if I or anyone else here needs the Internet or not.
Slashdot Mirror
Your trying to explain something to /. mods?
At least machines are already smarter than mods. ^hint^ ^hint^ slashdot.
not if you recycle them into a fuel source.
Security certs are just a fraud, to make money. It's like "Pay your protection money, or we will warn your users"
Another reason to pay with "PayPal"
The real trick is to trade laptops, people will think their getting a good deal with the "Faster" one.
This is /. expect no integrity from the mods.
Fax Machine?
Who the hell works with fax machines these days?

As a content creator (aren't we all?) myself I would like to know where I can pickup my royalty cheque.
Australia and China have the solution.
We call it censorship.
My neighbor paid for their wireless router, so the internet is not free since someone pays for it. But content that's a different story.

By using your image, they are implying that you approve of and recommend the product that your image is attached to.
Which I consider a form of libel.

I remember some idiots claiming to be allergic to wireless signals once.

First came free internet now comes free power.
Why use drivers licenses?
If bars want a system like this why not have some form of membership card?
People can then use that card on the bar/club network.
The same thing happens in Australia.
We have places that Record your ID, Take photo and video, take a voice print and fingerprint scan.
Damm....
No wonder my Internet stopped working after I made that squirrel snare.
Because they have the backing of major media companies.

Or an ISP that is not in league with the ruling Nazi party.
What if someone else uses your open wifi network?
You can't get a job these days without email every employer I've ever dealt with wants a resume emailed to them.
