Same when trying to go from SP2 to SP3, the machine wouldn't boot after installation, I had to use System restore. Oh well, my machine configuration has changed since so I guess I have a couple months yet to give it another try.
Machine is HP Pavillion a1450n - AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 4200+ running in 32 bit mode. Anybody else experienced the same with this specific setup ?
I don't want to discourage you at all, but just remember that they're very strict about keeping it amateur. Depending on what you want to do, it may be easier to just set up a 802.11n repeater on a pole as an open hotspot.
Of course, I assume it would be a lot cheaper too, ham equipment to support a modem seems rather expensive.;-)
I might also be a lighting effect related to the Sun's position, our position and possibly other space phenomenons (magnetic fields, etc). If one looks at both pictures on the link below, we can see that the belt is still there, it is only much less visible. Remember that those belts are gases that could be more sensible to these types of effects.
At first, I also thought about the belt being on the hidden side of the planet but Jupiter has got a rotation period of about half a day so we should have noticed this already if it was the case;-)
hehe that's kind of what what I posted 2 hours ago but thanks to a/. error my post ended up in the wrong thread. This summary was scheduled to be posted at 1:27 PM eastern time for a while instead of 3:09 PM...
Short story: I agree with you but I went a little farther and my concern wasn't really if people were working or not but if information leaked through those sites. Bear in mind that people can still leak clues about sensitive information at night, when off their working hours...
My solution might seem unrealistic but it might come to that eventually. It takes a while for organizations to adapt to new trends...

Here is the solution I propose for them in order to strike a balance:
1) Do not hire anybody using social networking sites.
2) Make joining social networking sites a cause of immediate termination of employment.
Side effect in my case: 3) profit from the new job openings available;-)
Seriously, I hear that this has even become an issue for military staff located overseas where tactical information might be leaked when sampling feedback from a sufficient number of individuals.

Exactly, so they do not have to spend any money on implementing slightly better technologies. They just wait for the next big "quantum leap" for as long as possible before jumping into the band wagon.
Of course, this is the global tendency. So there will be cases where what I state doesn't seem to apply but it is generally what is happening in my humble opinion.

You do not have to agree with me, free speech is a good thing;-)
I will simply remind you that "consumer-grade" is the biggest market simply because there are more customers. This becomes especially true nowadays since more and more people have access to tech industry products compared to the situation a few decades ago.
> What you're describing is a situation where there are few > enough competitors in a market that real competition > is not the best way to maximize profits.
If you owned a business, you would realize that competition is never a good way to maximize profits.
We are obviously faced with a loophole in the law here. We urgently need to enhance the law so we can prosecute the parents of the child with criminal charges.

Collusion talks don't always end up with agreements. There are some wars going on. In some cases although, when an important monetary impact is unavoidable for all of them, the most important players might come to an agreement. In other cases, you end up with a split decision, where there is more than one side. A group of players on one side and another group of players on another side.
It is still a free market to some level. Only, it is affected by what I explained in my post in such a way that implementation of new technologies is slowed down globally. Avoiding this trivial conclusion would require me to put on pink colored glasses;-))
Yep, industries always slows down implementation of new technologies in order to keep sort of a backlog in the pipeline of new technologies available for marketing purposes. By slowing down the pace, they also save in R&D because they make their investment in a given technology more profitable by extending the lifetime of the said technology.
I know some will say that this is contrary to free market rules, the company owning a new technology should rush it out the doors. But the big players might often be involved in some kind of collusion not always known to the general public. Really breakthrough technologies are often bought by the biggest players and put on a shelf.
This is true in all kind of fields. The important thing is to keep the appearance of a free market so consumers are happy;-)
After all, corporations are there to make to most money possible, not to make the technological world move faster at their own expense.

Thanks, I just successfully installed SP3 following your recommendations.

Not at all Jupiter is a god, not a human:

Oh, additionally, wave lengths of ham can bounce on clouds and lakes/oceans so you can sometimes reach the other side of the planet.
That was my first idea when I was talking about an "emergency network".

Make sense if the Sun has got anything to do with Earth global warming ;-)

I don't even know if it is possible to go above 9600 Baud with a single link.
I think that you may need multiple frequencies, multiple links/bonding (multiple modems) to achieve speeds suitable for video transfers.
Anybody actually got experience with tcp/ip over ham radio ?
How fast would the band become saturated if many people started to do this with multiple links/bounding ?
Any other comments ?
Funny you mention this, I have thought of buying a ham radio for that very reason. I already have deep cycle batteries and a generator ;-))
We could even run tcp/ip over ham radio and set up an emergency network to enable data transfer in case the internet becomes unavailable ! :

And massive riots in every city caused by too many people suddenly waking up to the realty and revolting against the system.
This is clearly a matter of national security. We have to act now to prevent this.

Of course.
You must also believe in infinite growth and infinite optimization of your manufacturing process.

much less obvious when comes the time to link it to my identity. Not that it is impossible although ;-)
I never told my Slashdot ID to anybody I know, I don't friend/foe anybody and I have no journal. Additionally, I try to be careful about what I post.
When can I pass the interview ? ;-)

Who gives a f* about which parent it is ?
As long as we can prosecute parents, everything is fine. If friend's parents are responsible, then problem solved.
That was the basic spirit expressed in my enhancement of the law proposal.
