When are people going to start bitching about Apple providing an email application in their phone, and then locking others out (as was discussed here earlier).
This is > Microsoft Antitrust (think internet exploder), ESPECIALLY with all the people screaming iphone iphone iphone (think, market penetration).
Not intended as a troll, but I have to wonder, when Apple can INTENTIONALLY lock vendors out of providing applications for their phone (and Apple is the OS and hardware provider here, make no mistake about it, NOT AT&T), but Microsoft gets raked over the coals about bundling internet exploder?
What the fuck? Seriously, what the FUCK?
No IPhone or Apple fan (although I do have a Mac), just gotta wonder, WTF is Jobs thinking?
Anyone that immerses themselves in a fake world, instead of interacting with other humans IN REAL LIFE for a majority of their time (daylight hours, so to speak), is, for the most part, some type of anti-social.
I lost a wife / family to online gaming. I STILL don't understand it, but she will continue to play that stupid game, spending a hundred or more dollars a month to Blizzard for multiple accounts (4 kids, her, new hubby, etc) not to mention the huge electric bills they pay for the 7 or 8 PCs in the house to run all the time...
Yup, gamers are the epitome of society?
Thank GOD my Mother didn't let me atrophy in front of my ColecoVision / Atari / Commodore / Apple
Depending on where you live, www.creative-wireless.net might be a decent idea.
I use them, on their basic service. I've been told no more 1000 connections to my computer once, but otherwise, they pretty much leave me alone, and my pipe is saturated nearly 100 percent of the time.
50 bucks a month, half megabit downstream. They have other plans, and all are cheaper than the one you are talking about.
Incidentally, they don't oversubscribe, and they also have quite a robust wifi network. Last year, 3 feet of snow overnight, my internet worked all night long.
I used this for a LONG time. You can have it set up to where it just blocks packets, blocks packets based upon a BUNCH of different rulesets, block packets based upon authentication (I had a private company that the owner HAD to be able to look at porn. I created a custom container for him, and no logging, reports, etc. came through).
It will block based upon port, protocol or keywords it finds in the packets.
Best product I ever found, at least for WinTel environments (It will integrate seamlessly with domains, etc). I prefer it over MS Proxy for web based content filtering at work.
Are we talking the same thing we called distributed apps back in the 90s? You know, another one of those.com BUSTS?
I mean, if you want "5 nines", do it yourself.
Stop looking for someone to blame things on. When I was active in IT, that was what we looked for when trying to outsource our server farm, nothing more. Someone else to blame things on.
If you have enough business that you need that level of SLA, then might I suggest actually HAVING a small IT department. That means pony up the bread for someone to run it, and cough up a couple servers.
More expensive today, but the residuals of owning your own farm go SO far beyond having someone to simply blame for the downtime.
I dunno about others, but I don't plug them into ANY network.
I plug a xover cable in, telnet / ssh / whatever into the box, and see the config.
OR, better yet, FIRST just do a default, factory reset.
I mean, it's cool to see if you can get into someone elses network with their stupidity, but what happens if the reverse was true, and it dialed into a malware / etc. type server, and gave some idiots carte blanch into his network?
Yeah, real bright. Just like buying a VPN device for a couple bucks on EBay and trusting it implicitly.
Oh yes, and as someone who designs and builds multi-kilowatt radio transmitters now, I don't know anything about RF and the way it work, either.
Someone needs to understand that a server is NOT a radio transmitter, receiver or transceiver.
I'm not really knocking Google and their people, what I'm knocking is the simple fact that it doesn't > what > of signal they attempt to obfuscate, it's the signal itself.
Amateur radio and other repeaters (am, fm or packet), LOS transmissions, etc., etc., etc.... Hell, even kidses walkie talkies need to be inspected.
All these devices carry a disclaimer that they HAVE to accept any interferience they get, AND they HAVE to not CAUSE any interferience.
Testing under real world conditions serves to meet the requirements above.
Disclaimer, I have gone through the process of having a transmitter type accepted through the Federal Communications Commission. Albeit, not for the band / service, but nonetheless...
Anyone else wonder why the fuck a so called "security expert" plugged a device blindly into his network?
I mean, really now. I haven't done any security work in a long time now, but still... Buying something for around 2 to 3 dollars (a security device, no less) off EBay then just "plugging it in" to a production network should cost this idiot his job.
And posting it to Slashdot should cost him his professional reputation.
I think having a clean place to take a shit instead of in their own water supply ranks a bit higher than giving mbeki a laptop.
I understand your point, and Bono would agree. Let Bono stop huffing poop and fix the problems with his billions, rather than trying to force other countries to do so.
Thus far, radio waves could only travel at 186K miles a second, give or take (depending on a factor called the velocity factor).
Since they figured out the latency with wireless links (satellite is wireless, after all), I'm wondering exactly HOW they got the radio waves to travel faster than the speed of light.
I mean, kill the latency, the packets HAVE to be arriving quicker, when the medium is dead space, right?
Isn't it a bit premature to be talking about the fallout of the Wall Street debacle, as it relates to college enrollment?
I mean, what does he have to base it off? A two week to 30 day trend?
Attributing last semesters enrollment to something that hadn't even happened yet (at least, it hadn't been properly attributed to Wall Street) is kind of.... Umm..... I dunno HOW to put it.
Making a story up, however, that appealed to the geeks and told the truth wouldn't sell advertising. As proof, look above, and see all the tech geeks bitching about not clicking through 10 pages of ads for the article itself.
The people that WILL click through those ads are the ones that won't believe the truth or who honestly don't know what the hell the internet was 10 years ago. Hell, before the sub 1K dollar PC, the internet was a geek refuge. Before online gaming took off (WoW, for one), not a lot of people gave a flying fuck what the internet was.
One of the biggest and best hacks was recrystalling my Hayes 300 baud to get 450 baud out of it.
I remember having to dial in through TeleNET or TYMEnet to get on to CompuSERVE, or ANYTHING else, since I lived in sticks (magically, after having lived everywhere just about in the US, I find myself 40 miles from where I started lol, so I have WiFi access to the internet now).
It would be nice if someone would do a geek article on this subject as well. They did their best, but after all, advertising is what the internet has become.
