I fully believe in God and his creatures....but.... I feel that God would not have given us our intelligence if He had not meant for us to use it. If God had wanted all of society to be good and perfect, He should have given us all IQ's of 50 and had the 10 Commandments set down in front of us. No, instead He gave us a gift. A gift of intelligence and creativity. A scientific creation by any human, whether good or bad, I feel, benifits us all. If its a good invention, well...That's good! If its a bad invention, we learn what not to do in our quest for a better world. -Codo
Really? Wireless problematic? Check out http://www.worknet.net I work for this company in their Indinapaolis office. I can safely say that 'Net over 2.4GHz wireless is alive and well. We just started in the Indinapolis area, and I've got several subscribers to our service currently running without difficulty. We have quite a few more lined up and ready to go. The problem we've run into though is other people's use of 2.4GHz. We're looking at reworking our equipment and deploying at 5.8GHz instead. I've had a few of our test fail, and when we brought the spectrum analyzer out to the site, there's a heck of a lot of radiation in the area....
I didn't get one of my domains hijacked, but Network Solutions did something that would qualify as a security breach (using MAIL-FROM). When I got my DSL line, I had asked the provider to get my domain name transferred to their DNS servers. Four weeks after my DSL was installed, I called them about getting all of my domains transferred. They happened to mention that they had no record of the first one (The stupid DSL provider is another story....) They told me that they wouldn't accept several of my domain names into their DNS servers (I have a couple of domain names that end in the.cc and.cx TLD's) because they weren't registered through Network Solutions (their EXACT quote...) Anyway, I said 'Screw Them' and bought a couple of great DNS Books (DNS and Bind, & DNS on NT both from O'Reilly publishers...) and set up my own DNS servers. I'm now happily serving my own DNS. But now, my DSL provider apparently finds the original request for my.com domain because I get a form asking if I want to accept or deny the transfer. I didn't answer it, but I called the person listed as the technical contact on my domain. I told him that if he got the form to deny it. He did (he even CC'd me a copy of the form with a big old NO at the top). Guess what... Network Solutions transferred the technical contact to my DSL provider anyways...and screwed up my (and my wife's) e-mail in serious way. The worst part of the whole damn thing is the my DSL provider has ignored all of the e-mails I've sent them and Network Solutions keeps sending me a message that says I need to send them a Domain Change form... I have e-mailed Network Solutions about 6 times now complaining about this, and they keep telling me that I need to submit a form, in spite of the fact that I keep telling them that I can not submit a form because the e-mail account for admin and billing are both screwed up BECAUSE of this stupid problem and that my DSL provider is ignoring me. I think I'm going to get my best 'I'm PISSED' voice ready and actually call Network Solutions today, and I am DEFINTELY calling my DSL provider since they don't seem to answer e-mails... Codo
