If you buy a 1 year subscription to your magazine, and they roll around and just charge you for year two, and keep going, you would probably be upset. Symantec isn't doing a "subscription", they are doing a "1 year of updates".

illegal? I know they mentioned other things that are, but throwing things that many people are opposed to in with things that are actually illegal is a slippery slope towards censorship. Just think of the children..
Actually, in large cities with more then one hospital, it is common to request the ambulances not come to your hospital for many reasons..
If the patient looks like they need an MRI (or other big, expensive equipment) and yours is down for maintenance...
If your emergency room is too full to handle them properly. (and the others would be faster for the patient)
If the other hospital has certain specialists that might be needed,
etc.
Which, btw, will eventually eliminate one of the most profitable parts of the the SSL merchants portfolio, proving that you are who you say you are. Even without a Cert, you will know that you are at YOUR bank's website, because you will be able to walk up the tree with signed records..
Two words: Kiddie Porn..
First virus or worm that creates a P2P botnet for distributing Kiddie Porn, and not only will Nancy Grace and all the news channels talk about it all day, every day, but people will start getting arrested, since HAVING it on your computer is a federal crime. Then, and only then, will things change with respect to security...
I guess I would first and foremost look at their coverage map for Atlanta, and see all the sections, even in the middle of the city, that are marked as "coming soon", and make darn sure that I would get a signal in the areas I needed it. One thing i've noticed with sprint(who owns a big chunk of clear), is their coverage maps (and I'm assuming all the companies do) Lie on the maps. just cause the map says its good signal there, doesn't mean it really is.
Funny, that sounds exactly like Dell's Call center in a small, economically distressed Southern Oregon town. Except Dell never quite hired as many as they said, later got sued for labor violations... (requiring people to be there up to 20 minutes before work, at their desk and ready, but not clocked in, etc...) And Dell trashed the building, and the city, which leased them the property, had to clean up the mess afterwords.
You can complain all you want, but if you look at the numbers you'll find the top 1% of earners pay 40% (or more) of income taxes.
I love seeing this quote. Its always spit out, and nobody bothers to mention what percentage of INCOME the top 1% receives. They could very well be paying much less percentage of their income than others, but they just make soo much more.. Who knows...
If you want to sound intelligent, please start saying "the top 1% of earners pay %40 (or more) of income taxes, while only accounting for X% of income."
One thing we found, was a reg hack that will only load WS4.0 when outlook 2007 is open, and it will only index your mailbox. Our user complaints have dropped to a small fraction since we implemented that fix system wide. Basically, we only use it on our XP machines to do the instant search in outlook, nothing else. Give it a try..
You got a point.. My grandma's first Microwave was Montgomery Ward's first model. They paid something insane, $700 for it. (think about what that would be in todays dollars..) Never needed servicing, cooked better then any microwave I have ever used. Course, grandma got a pacemaker 2 years ago.. and they didn't understand shielding back then, so the Microwave is now with my uncle..
Actually, the problem is, that extra security makes you less secure.
You see a line of people, waiting to go through security as a hassle; A terrorist sees a few hundred people, all confined in a location, and in a point where explosives are not yet checked.
In this country, one suicide bomber at a security checkpoint line would completely shut down our air travel. What would you do to add additional security without making people bunch up?
The simple solution is to wait for the Hologram based disk formats, that store Terabytes on a CD Sized disc. By the time it is actually released, the patents will have no doubt expired, since it is always 5 years in away...
Its the same thing as with the whole "Extended car warranty" companies that have been violating the do not call list..
Why doesn't someone at the FTC just answer a call or email, and just give them a credit card number (that is arranged ahead of time with the CC companies) and follow the stinking money trail!?
Last time I setup a VPN, was with a Cisco PIX firewall, (its been awhile) but there was a spot to specify which DNS servers to use when connected to the VPN. I had specified that when connected, they would use our DNS, since they otherwise couldn't resolve \\file-server\share or whatever..
Wasn't there a guy in Australia that got in trouble, because he found a GPS tracking system attached to his car without permission, and removed it and sold it on Ebay? I seem to recall that being a big issue a few years ago...;)
I noticed that right away. The judges said the same thing, the cases were oppositte. In wisconsin, they had a warrant, and someone sued that it violated their rights. Courts ruled FOR the police. In NY, they did not have the warrants, someone sued, Judge ruled AGAINST the police.
There has actually been numerous attempts to force employers with over X number of employees to match names and social security numbers with an electronic search of the SS system. Several groups are heavily resistant.. I would like, however, to ensure that if someone says they are me, that they prove they are me...
As a user of an OS that is actually zero cost, I would love to see MS actually enforce piracy protections effectively. That is one way to grow linux use. Once people figure out they can no longer "borrow" their buddies disk, they will start looking for alternatives.. and really, you don't even have to be 100% successful. If you make the process difficult enough, people will give up!

Or even more secure.. Split the password in half. Put half the password in the CEO's safe. Put the other half in the HR Directors safe..

100,000 KG is about 97 Megagrams, or 100 Mebigrams. Damn marketing departments.. Everyone knows there are 1024 grams in a Kilo
Here's the problem: all this extra security sucks

Anyone else wondering lately if anyone else is submitting stories? Or is this guy the next Roland?
Its the same thing as with the whole "Extended car warranty" companies that have been violating the do not call list..

Why not tax books? Do they not lead to the same health problems as sitting still playing video games?

But then that leads down a very slippery slope to things such as:
Instead of encouraging people to NOT vote for your opposition, encourage them to vote for you!
Think of the loss in ad Revenue, and what on earth will the 24 hour news stations do with all that spare time?
