Even with getting the latest distro, you are also limited by the servers speed. I have never used all my speed from one site, I only can max out my speed with I down load from 3 diffent servers. (I have DSL 756Kb/s down and 128 Kb/s) even wene I run an X program over the net I use about 128 down. I would be happy with only 128 down, but verizon does not sell that low and when I went to buy DSL I was planning on speeding about $50 a months so I don't feel like I was forced into a higher service. Because I am paying what I expected, I only got a higher speed then I need/wanted, and that is not a bad thing.
Now that we have his email address, (I half doubt that this is it but if it is) we can go around signing him up for all those "nice offers" (spam) just enter that if a site says you need to give them your e-mail address.
I think I keep my aol cds, I have a nice set of coasters thanks to them (5 aol 2 ms 5 bad burned cds and 15 dell/hp "free" sorftware, from no name software companys)
I don't think this would work well, being that WiFi is an unlicensed radio freq, the power is limited to those device and after so much of a distance you lose quality in the transition, and even if you could pump up the power you would probably will still need a beam antenna (if not a satellite dish). I am sure you could get packet radio going but then you still need to get a ham ticket.
The fact that it is not compatable with anything but the imac was one, I bought a Archos jukebox on the 20th, and the other things that got me were it was $100 cheaper ($308, this include shipping), it works on linux (also windows and mac) it has 20Gb drive in it (ya right like I realy need all that space I only have 7Gb of mp3), sure it took me 2 hours to upload all my mp3's but I don't see that as such a bad thing, I just pluged it in, issued the following command "cp -v -R/home/mpop/mp3/*/mnt/jukebox" and in 2 hours I had it fully loaded. Also the jukebox was able to read and use my play lists from xmms (and no I did not use the \ dir dilimator I use / in them, but the jukebox still understode them) So I am happy with the jukebox. And the size of it, it hight and width are just about the same size as a palm VIIx and about 1.5 as deap as the same palm VIIx (yes this is just a bit bigger then an ipod, but not to much bigger). My think that for most linux people (and maybe windows people too) the jukebox might be better.
First I don't see the big deal with this law, the goverment does have a dute to protect kids, just like in ham radio there are some things you can not talk about or evan some words you can not say. Maybe the state AG is not the best person to decide what is to be blocked. But we do have to get rid of this lowlife stuff, and for the people who say go after the people with the servers, some of the servers are out of the country and some countries this stuff is leagal, I remeber hearing that Arther C. Clarck lives in some country. So how do stop this stuff, as I see it the filters will be for sites that are out of the country, the ones in the country I am sure will be sure down by the laws that are alread on the books. Just my 2c for what ever it is worth.
I remeber there were some cheaters who caught and the why they were caught was that both of their assiments did the same thing, to bad for them the assiment did not call for that and I don't know how they got that interpertation.
1st I was not sure on what bands there were. you should take the whole post and not just a couple of sentences out of context.
2nd thanks for the infomation. I have bookedmarked that site.
it is annoying to end up at those sites, there is one the is aimed at slashdot too. i forget the exact spelling of it, since it was a typo i might not ever remember, but i had to do killall -9 mozilla-bin to excape it.
Seeing this artical has given my a Question, I wonder what class amateur Radio licence you need I wonder what band they are useing, ie is it the 2meter (ya right wavelegth probably to long and too low of a frequency) I know it is not the 6 meter band (not alowed to do 6 meter uplinks according to the FCC rules) so it must be eather the 70cm or the 23 cm bands. does any one know, I nearly forgot about this option of amateur radio, and now I want to try (I took the exam on the 22th and I am just wait for my name to show up in the FCC's database, it should only be a few more days.
Two comments, yes when miscrosoft wants something they usaly get it, but might not this time, first paypal is an astablished setup and lots of people have accounts with the. next this is something we can do, if we put something up on ebay, we can state what forms of payment we accept, and just don't accept.net payments, I know I will not, i don't what to deal with them, also I don't trust ms with my bank info, you remeber the passport EULA, any data you use on it belongs to ms, well my money is my money not theres.
I thought that I could copy my own cds for my own use under the fair uses laws? so they are saying I can not copy my cds to mp3 for use on my rio, or on my computer which is litter to carry then 100's of cds.
first to autocracy they told me that to, they said to me that by federal law the computer had to be fully operational when shiped. Bull shit no compueter is fully operational with windows on it. Second when I got this computer they said that it (the inspiron 5000e) was going to be some day shiped with linux on it and that it was 100% linux compatable, bull shit, I have had more trouble with this laptop and linux then windows crash a year, and no i don't blame linux i blame dell. third of all, i have one of the batters that might burst into flames, but they will not rplace it for me, why you might ask, well heres why, my parents got me this laptop for christmas so dell put into their recoreds that it is owned by my father, so when I called about it I got told that they could not send a new batter becaues I proabaly stoll this laptop from my fater. So I know in the futer I will never get a nother h^hdell computer ever.
If I put my personal infomation in don't like the idea of it belonging to ms (see http://slashdot.org/yro/01/04/03/1535244.shtml) so I don't think I will use sites that use that use pasport, my informaion is mine not m$.
Why don't they just include in the box a device you add to your computer (lets say it goes on to keyboard input, with a keyboard plugin on it, the keyboard only uses 3 of the six pins*) and this device could have the CD code hardcoded into it, and when windows boots it can check the inputed CD code agenst the hard coded one and if they are the same boot.
just my 2c

* the keyboard using only 3 pins of the six is nice since the mouse does the same, I have on my laptop only one ps/2 port but I have a happy hacking keyboard and a nich logitech track ball that I like to use on it so I got a PS/2 port spliter and both go into one port, works great on linux, but when I boot to windows for games, well windows just complains that there is no mouse and the keyboard will not work, gee I thought windows was easer to use then linux, with linux I just pluged them in and they worked on windows, I have no idea on how to get them to work.

I doubt they would like you to drop dead after paying the last bill, they want you alive so they can charge you for many moons.
How will the block the sites if the person is using a US proxy server. Or are they going to outlaw the use of proxy servers?
I think is to be read (anti-hate) laws not anti-(hate laws)

The printer wants 8x11 paper. 8x11=letter sized paper (I don't know what the pc is for) and load well put paper in.
I think I keep my aol cds, I have a nice set of coasters thanks to them (5 aol 2 ms 5 bad burned cds and 15 dell/hp "free" sorftware, from no name software companys)
True, but I think that this came about by international agreaments, I could be wrong.
If it is the ham bands that would not be allowed. On the Ham radio bands one is not alowed to incrypt or obsure the message.
I don't think this would work well, being that WiFi is an unlicensed radio freq, the power is limited to those device and after so much of a distance you lose quality in the transition, and even if you could pump up the power you would probably will still need a beam antenna (if not a satellite dish).

Evey time I pic up a cd I leave one or more skin cells on it, so I have my DNA on cd so why should I pay someone 500k to do it for me.
but it seams that he used the word "like" alot.

I will stick with my track ball (yes I still use a track ball) any my Keyboard. Maybe I am just old I am 24 ;-> (ok sorry about the stupid joke)
beside I just spent $40 on a happy hacker keyboard.
