Can anyone explain why the wireless telcos are willing to exclude so much of the potential userbase with high costs when they seem to have allready comitted to the expense of 3G networks? What do they get out of it without subscribers?

There are some good.NET development books coming out now. Even O'Reilly has had one out for a while (which I have), so the publishing companies seem to be eager to sell.NET. </I>

And here I thought publishing companies were just in it to sell books.(no offence to O'Reilly)

Subject: Microsoft Settlement
To Whom it may Concern,
I would like to add my voice to those in adamant opposition to the proposed Microsoft Settlement. As
a student with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and about to complete a Master's Degree in Information Systems it is painfully clear to me the extent to which Microsoft has abused the public trust with its monopoly power. Please, for the sake of us all, reject this proposal in favor of a much stronger remedy.
Today's information based society is particularly hard hit by Microsoft's crimes. The most cursory review of my day finds several obvious examples of the price that we all must pay for Microsoft's monopoly. For example; websites often display properly only under Microsoft Internet Explorer because they were created with Microsoft tools. My email accounts are regularly bombarded with spam from the latest Microsoft Outlook virus because there is no program which compete on the Microsoft platform despite Outlook's many security vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Cross platform collaboration with my peers at school is nearly impossible because Microsoft Office continues to incomparable file formats in order to lock in its customer base. When I recommend to my friends and family that they buy a prebuilt computer from a major hardware vendor I must explain that it can only be bought bundled with Microsoft Windows. These problems exist, not because of a lack of consumer demand for a solution, or lack of a willingness to pay, but because Microsoft does not allow it.
The proposed settlement does not come close to recouping the illegal gains which Microsoft has made off American consumers much less come close to penalizing Microsoft for the illegal abuses. While it is doubtful that the true losses can ever be recovered from Microsoft any settlement The beginnings of a fair settlement should include the preeminent opening of all Windows and Office API's and file formats as well as a large cash payment to open source programming efforts which compete with Microsoft products. In this way Microsoft's ill gotten gains can be used for the public good.
I assume that was important when the only way to get stuff was on printed paper and there could be ambiguity between a decimal point and an artifact (or an excrement). If you have a problem with fly shit on your monitor, you should clean it. I regularly clean my monitor with a soft lint-free cloth and a 10M solution of HCl.
it has worked well for me with DynDNS.org and the README says that it supports easydns.com It grabs the current IP address from the router and sends it off to your dynamic dns service.More clients are at

I'd think that the lag induced when processes are distributed over a network would preclude a distributed approach to most day to day system tasks. Network speed must be an order of magnitude slower than bus speed.
>>>>some sort of collective legal action against the RIAA on behalf of the independant artists who use Napster as a distribution method Great idea except for the fact that the indie artists tend to have very little money because of the big label hedgemony, and we all know that it takes money for lawsuits.
