Bad pun, I know. Being a paranoid person..( from back in the day when my friends and I would make up all kinds of code words for trying to score a doobie over the phone ) Anything you do or say has the potential to be heard by anyone else with the knowledge or technology to do so. But does the Gov't care about some teenagers trying to get some dope, or some 30-something running a port scan on his neighbor from his moms basement? ( no offence slashdotters ). No matter what you do, why not just expect it to be listened to? Because it is.
I can't even read past where some educated people try to recommend to M$ that they open up some of thier double-super-secret source code. Imagine the possibilities and good things that could happen if they did that. Its just that kind of rational thinking that makes the developers at microsoft upset. How dare anyone suggest it could be done better.
well back when there weren't a lot of computers on a network, there would be no need for transmision control or collision detection. thats like saying the Wright Brothers didn't invent flight because they never built a jumbo jet.
ARPA designed the ARPANET. Long story short...Other contries need to sit down! Unless they came up with the idea of ehternet and redundant pathway internets. United States can do whatever we want. We built the fucking thing. Moderate away non-US nerds.
It might depend on whether the "less valuable" people would spend the money on education, or an 8-ball and some Pall Malls....Not saying either one is wrong..
The market and business majors have done thier jobs. The market for that specialized type of geek-tech just isnt here. In japan, dancing MP3 players get them all whipped up and horny. Over here? Not so much. We'd rather spend our money on cadillacs and beer. And war. yeeeeehaw!
Mandriva 2008 ( free version or powerpack) kicks ass over both Gutsy and Vista. I say this a huge huge ubuntu fan. I definately dont mean to flamebait or whatever. Just try it.
World of Warcraft? Geez, with that kind of latency, you have time to go take a shit on your Star Trek toilet bowl ring, get back and still cast some super-secret magic on some other nerd.
I hope I don't have to hear some idiot talking about his prostate all the way from here to mexico. But...phones don't interfer with the planes comm., or instruments. If a phone company went through the process of getting the phone checked by the FCC to make sure its ok, it would be registered or ok to use on a plane. Its just too expensive or time consuming to get all electronic devices ( except the planes equipment) checked so they just outlaw them on planes. If they were able to cause that much of a problem.. terrorists would be sneaking cellphones on planes, screaming alah ackbar, then placing a cell phone call to thier mother-in-law, causing all the planes in the world to crash. You don't think the plane is flying through billions of cell phone signals already?
I just did a search (google) on "cha cha". Aside from the first link.. most of the other links go to some sort of dance related page. Fuck them, thier silly name, and the idea that forcing people to use thier engine will make them big and powerful. I can't imagine why they would try. Here's me consoling into a router... #Access list 101 permit tcp any host host eq "anything but google"
Get with it. Security is the way of the future. Lan-Administration is on its way down. Security is on its way up. If I had a dollar for every time a rouge wi-fi access point is set up that compromizes the whole network... and people using default passwords... anyway.. its no wonder companies need to hire 2 security guys to go around to tell everyone not to make thier password thier kids/pets name/birthday..
I would imagine the telcos have a big problem with the voip people using "thier" backbone infrastructure to make money on would-be customers of thier own.
This article brings out a good point... ( or a point I would like to make (i never know if i'm on topic))
Most of today's hacking is allowed by either social engineering or default settings being used. You don't even have to be a "script kiddie" to do the kind of stuff they did. Off topic maybe. I guess this comes from the "know it all's" at work who drop the "script kiddie" dime on anyone and everyone who takes the easy road to accomplishing a task. The one dude who got the code for motorola's phone a while back...he is pretty smart about computer related ideas...but his "hack" was barely anthing to do with using a computer.
You are right, I should not generalize. I was serious, I am not up to par on my voip info. I need to learn more about this wacky new stuff thats going through my routers. By the looks of it it seems this lawsuit will but a big hit on its advancement.
" Maybe FedEx doesn't want the Russians mistaking one of their rockets filled with Barney DVDs for a nuclear attack and triggering World War III. I would have to imagine the PR from that sort of thing would be somewhat damaging."
- Not to mention the emotional damage that would be caused by thousands of "I love you..You love me.."'s cascading upon half the countryside.
You are right, however, I guess what I was saying is that if your on the go all day long, like maybe the majority of people now days.. what good is it? And if your at home, why not use something like Roger Wilco for free?
I seriously dont see the big deal with voip anyway. If theres someone that has an internet connection and you want to communicate with them.. you can do it free,(speaking in real time) there are tons of ways. Voip wont help me when i'm stranded in my yugo.

Ever seen a grown man naked?

ARPANET would turn over in its grave knowing what it had spawned.

I'm glad Mandriva is getting some face time. I swear if you use it for a couple minutes.. well.. I can only say its my favorite.

"drives me nuts"... that reminds me.. What did the pirate say about the steering wheel that was sticking out of his fly?

and what's with the hiding in the bushes and digging through your garbage? Maybe they should name it "Ex-girlfriend"

Give it Wi-Fi, and i'd buy one. Maybe for just checking email or looking at porn, and other school-related stuff.

Uh huh. I'm sure port 139 is open on all the electronic voting machines.
