I agree. I bit someone's head off the other day for installing a screensaver from a malicious website. This is exactly the same website they went to before and installed a screensaver and I had to charge them to remove all the viruses and crap that came with it. And I TOLD them exactly what it was they downloaded that caused them to get the virus. Worst yet, not only did they go back and do exactly the same thing all over again just a couple of weeks after getting the computer back, this time they had to click through the UAC prompts and the antivirus screens to get it to install. Grrr!!! Well, I guess I will charge them again to remove the virus. Stupid people are really how IT workers make their livings.
I don't think Google Image Search is the culprite, but rather malicious websites that host the images. I use Google Image all the time, and have never once got a piece of malware from it, although I have had my antivirus pop up ONCE when I tried clicking through to a malicious site. Google just needs to take their scanning services or whatever it is they use on their websearches (where you get the warning saying that malware has been found on the site) and apply it to Google Images.
Hmmm, or could it be number of towers needed to reach a certain number of people? Urban areas such as NYC would need more towers and bandwidth to reach a said number of people, plus repeaters installed inside of buildings and skyscrapers to provide any fair amount of coverage.
Cities such as San Antonio, Dallas and Houston (in addition to two of the three being headquarters to AT&T - AT&T is either in the process or just finished moving headquarters from San Antonio to Dallas) have much lighter population densities, and while we do have some tall buildings here and there, most of the population is spreadout in the suburbs. Atlanta is the same way. Not sure about Chicago, but I imagine its similar.
This means that the technology roleout will affect a large number of people, while being able to be relatively easy to roleout. DFW, San Antonio, and Houston all have VERY good infastructures with AT&T (compared to other cities), so its the idea test bed.
Only a self-absorbed New Yorker would assume that New York is the center of the world, and any new roleout must come to them first. As you guys are so quick to complain about the network, wouldn't it make sense for them to role it out in another city and TEST it first, and work out the bugs, before they go rolling it out on you? You will get it in a few months, and then you will be complaining because you need a new phone to take advantage of it. And I am sure when it DOES eventually role out in NYC, it won't be the whole city at once - but rather certain areas will get it before others. Remember, your CITY is larger than many countries!
There is part of me that is wishing I hadn't left AT&T. I complained about it left and right when I had it - spotty service, slow speeds, etc. I switched to another company that supposedly offers 3G and 90% coverage of the US. Turns out what they call 3G is actually SLOWER than AT&T's Edge network was (several speedtests were done, on both carriers), I get really low signal most of the time (and this is where the company's headquareters are located), and probably a quarter of the time when I try to make a call, I get Verizon error messages even though I am not on Verizon (technical support was of no help whatsoever on this, and were completely confused. Although this may be due to the tech support people not even knowing what Verizon was - they could hardly speak English).
As much as I loved to hate AT&T and the astronomical prices I were paying with them, I have to admit that their service was WAY better than my current company. I would go back, but I would rather put up with my spotty service, slow download speeds and piss-poor customer support than to go back to AT&T's $100+ a month (after taxes) plans.
Quite frankly, I really don't see the difference - nor do I really care. The file sizes of the two formats are similar, and we are looking at them on Webbrosers. Now, if they were to introduce a new format that gave me TIFF or RAW like quality in JPEG size files, and pushed them to camera manufactorors and graphic artists, then their format might get accepted. Making an alternative to something that most people don't consider bad in the first place, and not offer significant advantages, means that its going to find a fairly small niche market
Pretty sure this would depend on of the person suing was an American who was directly affected by Egypt's telecoms. Then it would really only be enforcable if the company had a US presence. Otherwise, I imagine that the case would be dismissed.
That is the stupidest thing I ever heard. I rooted my phone because it was still at 2.1, my phone company never pushed out the promised update (only shipped it on the same model if you bought a new phone), and it had so much stock crap in it, the phone was unusable. I rooted my phone to run CM7, not to get pirated software. I still buy apps from the Android Marketplace and from Amazon.
Just because you CAN run pirated apps on a rooted phone doesn't mean that that is the only reason people root their phones.
install an antivirus, run updates, and don't execute apps from untrusted sources.
That pretty much takes care of a majority of your issues. Read other user reviews. If you feel the Android Marketplace is too laxed, try the Amazon marketplace. And if you decide to root your phone, pay attention to which apps you are giving root permission to. I mean, you are a Linux user after all, you should understand simple security.
Oh, and I suggest that if you are going to buy an Android phone, check and see if its supported by CM7 - http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ Talk about a lifesaver - my Android phone ran like CRAP until I found this goody. You should realize as well that there are several projects to port CM7 to other phones that are not part of the official tree yet - my phone is not on this list, and the first ports for cm6 / cm7 happened just a couple of months ago. If you are using an unstable build, make sure you read the notes, and MAKE SURE you do a backup of the factory rom before you start installing your own stuff.
My issue is with some of the older games you buy through Steam. The King's Quest games, for instance, mostly launch through some strangely-configured DosBox version, and most completely fail to work on Windows 7. Strangely enough, a torrent of the same games working through DosBox seems to work just fine. So, Steam is a no-go, so I may have to start hunting down physical media.
Many of the more popular games, such as Duke Nukem 3D and Quake and Doom have ports that work quite well on modern OSes.
Rise of the Tirad (spelling) I could not get to work in DosBox at all.
Many of the old Lucas Arts games can be played through a SCUM emulator. Haven't really tried them through DosBox, but the Monkey Island games seem to be getting remakes.
Kings Quest 1, 2 and I think 3 all have fan remakes that work quite well, so I have been using them instead of the Kings Quest package I got from Valve / other sources.
The Humans I have not been able to get to work.
The 7th Guest I haven't been able to get to work on anything newer than Windows 98.
Slightly newer games - I don't think the PC version of FF7 works on anything newer than the late 90s hardware, due to something strange, like 8 bit 3D palates or something. You are better off getting the PS versions and running them though an emulator.
Yeah, its pretty much stuff like this that is making me reluctant to buy PC games anymore.
Wouldn't this depend on the frequency? Also, pretty sure microwave is line-of-sight. So this limits us to one type of broadcast in a fairly narrow frequency range, right?
Launching the page in IE9 tells me my browser is too old.:-)
Works fine in Firefox 4, although at this time, I am not really sure what the advantage of running Linux in a webbrowser is, other than to say "I can do it".
Maybe I am not fully understanding how SETI works, even though I use the home client, but this has always really caught me as strange. Lets say an alien world is actually broadcasting. Not only would they have to be broadcasting at the exact time we are looking for them (or rather, how ever many lightyears ago relevant to the star's distance), but the planet would have to be in view of the earth at the time, their transmisions would have to be able to penetrate both their atmosphere and ours, and they would have to be broadcasting in our direction. Seems to me that 24 hour observation of 80 some-odd planets at once is not going to yield enough data for us to make any kind of reasonable observation.
Um, pretty sure that, whoever this company is, they wouldn't be stupid enough to go up against Microsoft. Even companies who did have valid claims were usually driven to the brink of bankruptcy with court proceedings against Microsoft, just to have Microsoft pick them up cheap (cough - Stacker). Now, Microsoft could do the humanitarian thing and file a preliminary lawsuit against this company.
Actually, as this is an App Store thing, and both Apple and Android marketplaces have this feature, I could imagine both companies going after this company.
Notice they are not going after Apple or Google (even though Apple announced this feature in, what was it, iOS 3), but are going after the small independant developer.
Last I checked, the majority of the places in Texas where they are doing fracking get their drinking water from lakes, which come from rivers and rainfall. There are some rural communities that use groundwater. I guess this could be a concern for a few thousand people at most, but even a majority of the rural areas buy their water from the major cities. I am racking my brains trying to think if any of the areas around here that they are drilling at use ground water for their drinking water, and I don't think they do (although I could be wrong). The majority of the drilling is being done in Fort Worth and areas to the south, and pretty sure that by the time you get to areas that have pumps and water-wells, you are outside of the shale.
Not saying that its okay to pollute ground water, just that saying that fracking is polluting DRINKING water is a bit of an overstatement.
I have been saying for years that I would like to get my channels al la carte. If I can get channels for between $2-$5 each, and not have to get a stupid package, yeah, sure, I would pay for SyFy. Lets see, 1) SyFy 2) BBC America 3) History 4) History Channel International 5) Discovery 6) HDNet 7) TLC 8) Travel 9) Science channel 10) HDNet Movies
Multiply by, oh, a few bucks, say, $3 a channel, and, wow, look at that, $30! Add in Taxes and box rental, I am at $50. That is half of what I am paying now, and those are the only channels I watch. Yeah, I would pay a few bucks a month for these.
Nevermind also that half of the TOR network end nodes are monitored and sniff your traffic and can modify your browsing session in various ways. Just imagine the fun when you happen to use an end node that serves you a drive-by download exploit instead of the page you requested.
Oh, and before anyone says that "there is more to the world than just America", let me remind you that this is from the NSA, so it was targeted for Americans.
Let me tell you about Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe is a guy from the Old Country (TM). Specifically, Madiera. He's a machinist and a damn good one at that. His education stopped at the 8'th grade, as it did in Madiera. He was curious about Linux so I installed it for him. His wife's computer was untouched.
So you are saying that the average American has the same intellegance level as an 8th grader from Madiera? You give us too much credit!
Let me show you how computer literate the average 8th grader is, versus the average corporate user. I bet I could show a 10 year old how to recompile a Linux kernel, but I cannot get a 30-something year-old home user to use Antivirus (well, my computer I bought 5 years ago came with a 90-day version of Norton) or to stop clicking on rogue apps and popups (Dad Walks In on Daughter using Webcam? Oh, let me "Like" this!)
No, 90% of the American population are too stupid to get Linux, 9% are Mac fanatics who think they are immune to everything and are superior because they paid $1500 for $300 worth of hardware, and the other 1% are those of us who actually "get" it.
I am not sure what kind of neighborhood you live in or what kind of router you have, but this is almost pointless. With my old G router, which was set in the living room, I could get a signal on my front porch and the bedroom right next to it. My N router has dramatically futher reach, but signal is still weak in many areas. With my N, I can get almost to the street with connection in the front, and about a quarter of the way into my back yard.
My neighbors on either side of me - well, one is an older couple in their 80s who don't even own a computer. The neighbors on the other side have several teenagers in the house, and even if I wanted to share with them, the aluminum siding on my house and theirs makes it impossible to get a signal in their house.
On a GOOD day, I get about a 10%-25% signal from my neighbor across the street, but normally cannot maintain a signal long enough to obtain an IP address.
These are with older, SMALL houses. My parent's house is much larger, and we actually had to reposition the router and use Wireless NICs with powered antennas to get signal in many areas of the house. I can pick up signal from the church next door, which is about 200 feet away, and has open WiFi, but I cannot get a signal at all in the house, and if I am outside, I can get a fair signal, enough to pull down e-mail in a few minutes. The people who live right behind them (tiny backyards), you can get their signal on a good day. Theirs is open, but I have only been able to get into it once, long enough to get an IP address, before I lost the signal.
If you are in an apartment or dorm, you MIGHT be able to share with a couple of your neighbors. I have seen people do that. But don't expect to do streaming video or a stable VPN connections if there is a floor between you, they tend to crap out (know this from experience on the helpdesk).
Now, lets assume that you are a good neighbor and let people camp out on your lawn with their laptops, or share with neighbors in your apartment building. What happens if they decide to use BitTorrent or Limewire? As far as I know, there is no court precidents that allow you to establish yourself as an individual as a service provider. IF you do this, you are opening yourself up to lawsuits and criminal investigations. Not saying it would happen, but it COULD happen.
And then, of course, there is the possibility of your ISP finding out. What if you have a bandwidth cap? What if they suddenly notice a large amount of traffic on your IP address? Pretty sure this would be a violation of your TOS with the ISP, unless you have a business account with them.
To put it simply, DON'T DO IT! This is the one time that the EFF is WRONG.
Charter was doing this for a while. Really annoying. And the link to click to opt out was at the smallest font they could find. Finally got it fixed. Was not happy - if I go to Google.com, or search google in my address bar, I expect to go to Google!
ISP level redirects should be illegal. What is to stop some hacker from coming in to the ISP and redirecting traffic from bankofamerica.com to a look-a-like site? Worse yet, what would happen if their DNS lookup table (or whatever its called) gets propigated? Or what about other service providers that buy bandwidth from them?

Problem solved. Also a heck of a lot faster. You just have to pay for it, which I think is a four-letter word on Slashdot
I would like Ethernet as well, but can't you do networking over USB? You could connect to a USB dsl modem or something.
