Until you realize they will just lower their speeds. But...
Maybe it will happen, but then it will be easier to pick your ISP, right now there are so many hidden details it's very hard for a regular Joe to pick up the best package.
I'd go even further, 50ms is the maximum latency, packet lost should be under 1% and the upload and download should never go below 80%. Ofc, this would only apply inside their network. Plus some public monitoring of their routers / bandwidth so they can't blame someone else for their problems.
The speed of the connection is their decision, but we have to stop this sill over-selling capacity, bringing down the whole net.
I agree, but I bet he has some spare time every now and then. Why not learn Perl? Once you start you can apply it to all kind of different SysAdmin tasks.
Perl scripting is the answer. Install a free anti-virus, and setup a script checking.
Check the anti-virus files and registry entry. You can get all the information you need, program virus version, database version, and use a central server to store the logs. Using scripts you can force anti-virus updates and restart.
I have a lot of experience with Trend Micro and all the anti-virus parts are daily checked with Perl scripts (during the night), to make sure the clients behave.
Internet Explorer does.
Internet Explorer is so awesome, you don't even need to click on an add to get infected. It's will do all automatically for you, there is this new wonderful M$ caching feature that keep clicking the whole Internet for you. Join the botnet close to your home now, all free today thanks to IE9!
Remember, iexplore.exe will be always there for you.
Makes perfect sense. Going to the shop, buying the Windows CD you need, install Windows on a new PC is easy. But buying an USB stick and get the Internet browser is beyond human capability.
Fining a company for misbehaving is not the perfect solution. The best thing to do is to make it impossible for them to break the law in the first place.
This is like saying speeding is ok, as long as you pay the fines.
And customers will get the damn Internet browser, if the reseller can't be arsed to put one in, they should be out of business anyway.
Unfortunately, most people don't realize that if you don't know what's wrong, it's usually best not to do anything, or to only do a few general, fairly harmless things. Far too many people get a "don't know, let's watch it" from the doctor, go home, diagnose themselves, then demand treatment (or worse, treat themselves).
So if they have no idea it's fine to do some background research yourself, then go talk to a doctor again, but keep very carefully in mind that self diagnosis is almost always a really bad idea.
You consider us idiots who don't know what they are doing. I know this can be the case, but I trust common sense to judge what is the appropriate action.
Microsoft uses partners to sell their product. Now M$ won't have the option do decide what browser we will get, instead the reseller will provide one for use.
The consumer will still get Windows with an Internet browser.
I know this is already the case with some dealers, but now EU said it's totally up to them what to bundle with Windows and not a Microsoft decision.

Most devices can't. This is why I'm asking. Googling a little, revels IPhone can't act as a Wireless access point by default. http://www.podcastalley.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138655 http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone-modifications/iphone-as-a-wifi-access-point-router-19674.html

Are you sure the IPhone can act as a Wi-Fi access point?

Not in my country. You pay for mobile connection, what you do is up to you.
Wi-Fi tethering needs some explanation. Is this 3G/GPRS tethering or Wi-Fi connection to your router so you can use VOIP on your mobile phone?
Isn't this the same for the whole Windows Vs Mac flame war? Design vs functionality, where security is the last concern.
Apple or the carriers charges for Wi-Fi tethering? And you actual bought a device configured that way?

Then you cam be sure the EU will kick them in teh teeth again.
You might not be paying for MMS, but most people do, even if they only receive them. This is why so many don't have this option enabled.
I explained to you why so many people refuse to use it, not that you should stop using it. Your money, your choice.
There is a reason why so many people refuse to use MMS, because we knew this is what was going to happen. So fuck MMS and SMS, give us the Interweb.
Isn't this how US works? Two parties for everything. Give more options and Joe's head starts to hurt.
Valid point.
As far as I'm aware IE can still be the only browser shipped with Windows, as long as the OEM decides to make it so.
Makes perfect sense.

You can go all the way to the store, but you can't have an Internet Browser on your USB stick?

I'd never argued against a doctor decision. I'm sorry if I didn't make it more clear.
But if they have no idea what is wrong you need to do the work for yourself.
Good for you, better be safe then sorry.
