Maybe I am missing something, but aren't the majority of 'security' issues related to Internet access and IE?
I mean, it's not XP that's broken or needs fixing, is it?
And, how old is 'IE' in this context?
Just sayin'
Regarding #2
If that's their logic (or yours), forcing the purchase of the top tier knowing you MAY not want the other channels so they can subsidize FuelTV with the revenue from everyone else who doesn't watch it then that's just stupid.
I'd pay a premium on the lower tier just to get FuelTV.
This is my rant. On Verizon and Time Warner if you want the FuelTV channel which is where the MMA fights are covered live, you can only get it by buying the most expensive package. It's their Super duper deluxe with a bazillion channels I don't care about. But it's the only one where you can get Fuel.
Help me out if I'm missing something here, but for years I read stuff about "Sean Fanning" as if he is some kind of mover and shaker in the online music biz.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong here but he's just some geek who wrote a poorly implemented, centralized, file sharing database engine that people used to keep track of who had what music so they could share it, right?
So, what makes that so 'special' that he's a 'guru' in the online music biz? He isn't. He's a guy who wrote a server application to track music on various peoples pc's and facilitated basic transfers between them. Sounds like a weekend project to me.
Even Marc Andresen is a little smarter than that, but not much. And he doesn't deserve the hype or 'respect' he seems to get. The only reason any of these guys get the press they do is because they were 'discovered' by VC firms and others and perceived to be 'smart'. I dare say that the average Slashdotter could have done anything they did better, faster, and with more finesse.
The REAL people behind these things like Snocap are the Wall street or Venture Capitalist guys who talk to some bozo's who come up with the spreadsheets and business plans to build this earth shaking new product. You think Shawn is the driving force behind that? No way. He's just the guy who says "Oh yeah! Great Idea! I can build that with a team of programmers in 6 months for $5 million and 25% stake in the company!".
These are maybe 'above average' programmers. But businessmen? I think not.
But hey, they're millionaires and I'm not. So what do I know?
Actually, I have 2 gig of ram on my system and when I do large file copies it slows down significantly but it's not due to swapping as suggested.
I've looked at the system and the cpu usage is medium, but disk i/o goes to 100%. Even though DMA is pretty fast, IDE disks still generate a ton of interrupts to move the data. Especially when you are using a journaling file system.
In my computer there's no swapping going on, it's all the switching from protected mode to user mode, and managing interrupts. Remember that an OS can nicely switch from task to task so we see a nice, responsive system. But it CAN'T ignore interrupts while it finishes drawing your window. That's why they're called 'interrupts':)
Linux is a little better, but copying lots of files will drag the system for similar reasons.
If disks weren't so 'fast' it wouldn't be a problem. But when your disk can move 20MB / sec through the system, what else does the cpu have time to do?
Hmm, attacking the 'messenger' without researching the message? I don't particularly like Christopher Hitchens either. However, I do like to know the truth.
They all apply to Mother Teresa.
Susan Shields was one of her sisters for 9 1/2 years and writes "Three of Mother Teresa's teachings that are fundamental to her religious congregation are all the more dangerous because they are believed so sincerely by her sisters. Most basic is the belief that as long as a sister obeys she is doing God's will. Another is the belief that the sisters have leverage over God by choosing to suffer. Their suffering makes God very happy. He then dispenses more graces to humanity. The third is the belief that any attachment to human beings, even the poor being served, supposedly interferes with love of God and must be vigilantly avoided or immediately uprooted. The efforts to prevent any attachments cause continual chaos and confusion, movement and change in the congregation. Mother Teresa did not invent these beliefs - they were prevalent in religious congregations before Vatican II - but she did everything in her power (which was great) to enforce them.
Once a sister has accepted these fallacies she will do almost anything. She can allow her health to be destroyed, neglect those she vowed to serve, and switch off her feelings and independent thought. She can turn a blind eye to suffering, inform on her fellow sisters, tell lies with ease, and ignore public laws and regulations. "
From Wikipedia: The Telegraph, an Indian daily, has referred to her as "the Saint of the Gutters", also mentioning calls for "Rome to investigate whether she did anything to alleviate the condition of the poor or just took care of the sick and dying and needed them to further a sentimentally-moral cause".
"In 2002, the Vatican recognized as a miracle the healing of a tumor in the abdomen of an Indian woman, Monica Besra, following the application of a locket containing Mother Teresa's picture. Monica Besra said that a beam of light emanated from the picture, curing the cancerous tumor. Some of Besra's medical staff and, initially, Besra's husband insist that conventional medical treatment eradicated the tumor."
Many attempts have been made to get information about how and where money is spent to CURE people of various diseases or just WHERE it all goes. Tell me, why would an organization that accepts so much in donations not want to proudly show how it's being used to do 'good work'?
I was describing TELENET, the service, which is two pots lines connected via an x.25 packet switched network. It has nothing to do with ISDN. Which is why the SUBJECT was TELENET and not ISDN.
I know what ISDN is.
Do you know what Sprint's 'telenet' service was? Did you follow the link I provided?
Telenet did. Sprint provided it as a service for quite a while.
I used to use it to connect to BBS's all over the US. You would call a modem on a number that was a local call, then issue a command to connect to another modem in another city, and then tell THAT modem to dial out for you.
full duplex analog signal over a switched network.

well, look at any stock exchange photos or other information intensive business. they have 4-5 monitors on way coll holders so they can glance around and see what they want in an instant.
Nobody makes them have to switch windows.
So Yes, it is obvious that multiple monitors = high productivity. I have two 21" monitors.
I used to use virtual desktops. I kept finding that the two things I wanted to see were on different desktops.
nuff said. Tell them I said so!;)

CO2 levels of more than 4000 parts per million (ppm) occurred during the Ordovician-Silurian (450 million years ago). There is also evidence of a glacial event occurring during this period. from: http://www.climatechange.gov.au/climate-change/understanding-climate-change/understand-cc-long-term.aspx

Yes, and nobody streams them live online so you're stuck with the cable rip off.

Actually, only federal government entities can register for a .GOV any more. They should have been police.bluffcity.tn.us

The answer to all those questions is simple.
There is no spoon.

I will be sure to NOT reply to any comment of yours ever again. Otherwise, you will apparently resort to name calling.
