Seriously DSL is a loser technology...I have yet to see the telco that can provide the same speed on DSL that I can get from my cable company on my cable modem. In New England where the DSL provider is almost universally verizon for the home subscriber (and even if its not it is since other providers are basically forced to use verizons lines and services), your also stuck with PPOE...which is a horible technology...I am on the VPN team at my company, and we have to tell users of verizon DSL to purchase a linksys router to even use the VPN software since the PPOE client and the Cisco VPN software conflict with each other. The only impending technology that will really get me excited is when someone (cable-co, or telco?) tells me I can get a fiber drop and a couple IPs to the home. Plug the fiber drop into my router and just be there all happy on the internet.
I think the questions that got sent to Bill were lame...and the responses were pretty lame too...I am not sure if its becuase the questions were damned lame or what....perhaps he just didn't put any effort into it....
In anycase there were alot better questions which were posted i wish more of the better ones had made it to him...
There were several postings, asking him about his writing, and also what he would do to fix ST:5 that would have made for much more interesting fare for an interview...
I guess thats just another mark for bad moderation!
If the Exchange server and Outlook are both setup correctly you should not see this kind of delay and speed issue. The Outlook client should besetup of syncronize the offline folder with the server when they are online. In this way the only headers that need to be sent to the client on each connect are any new ones the client already has all the old ones. Also reasonable limits on the size of the exchange mailbox help alot. We have found here that approx 65MB mailboxes are ideal...the upper limit is around 150MB before things really get ugly. Don't let users use mail as a failing cabinet, or at least force them to personal folders (which we don't recommend to the users here, loose the hardrive loose the mail) as that function. Tell them to keep only useful mail, and be responsible about deleting and keeping the mailbox clean, move attachments to safe storage locations.
We need to end the DMCA as the number one priority...
After that we need laws that make it illegal for companies to restrict our rights to use content. Fair use needs to be officially put on the books, not just be out there as a concept.
Unrestricted CD's made the smae way they always have been...
DVD's that can be played on any operating system.
Tivo's that we are allowed to copy the content off of and do what we want with it. (and don't force us to watch commercials)
Computers that don't restrict our rights to do what we want with them.
Ok thats what I can come up with off the top of my head.
Humm...thats most odd...the Worcester, MA office and service is not like this at all... Must vary by region...I suppose...the people here are always on the ball and very hands off the network....
I am defending my fellow workers...I have my job still, because my employeer recognizes my worth...however I have friends who lost thier jobs because of thier companies tanking, or being in redundant positions because the company was growing, and then turned around and started shrinking....some of them are better at what I do than I am, however they are the street and struggling because the "market correction"(still hate that phrase)...and I still maintain my position that as an American Citizen they have more right to a job than a non-citizen when the economy is in the state its in....
Hell I though people around here would see the logic in all this, but guess there are to many bleeding heart liberals around here.....
And there is no reason that my friend who is having these issue should have to change....if he was once worth $60K(actually he was worth alot more)...he should still be worth that...
Umm...I don't agree with the that thought... The problem is if you have been living the life style of someone who makes $60K...
An example that comes to mind is someone who was making a good salary doing good work. Based on that they were able to purchase a home, and have a decent car, buy a few nice things...so now the "market correction"(I hate that term) comes along...well the cost of things has not corrected with the market, however the "market correction" has caused people to loose jobs, or not get raises for over a year now...the taxes on the house have however gone up...the cost of heat, power, and hot water have gone up, the cost of gas has gone up...so now our poor person who had a nice life going, but was somewaht dependant on compensation rising in relation to inflation is either stuck at the same salary now struggling to make ends meet, or worse unemployeed trying to keep things together on Unemployement... (Don't even go down the road of sell the house, not a fair conclusion, and extremely not the American dream.) He might be able to find a new job except no one is hiring, he might be able to find a new job that pays the wage he needs, expect there are others who undercut his salary, for the same work...these are the results of the "market correction"...this guy is screwed! This "market Correction" is a load of crap, its an excuse....and does not benefit the American worker...only the H1B visa ripoff's willing to take that guys potential job at a lower rate, or worse yet causing the median salary for his job to be must lower than it should be, thus employeers do not offer that job a resonable rate, or if he has sayed employeed offer less of or now wage increase since hey can get away with it. Employeer's markets are bad all around...it should always be an employee's market otherwise we are headed back to the days of the sweatshop...
What I am trying to say is that since there are unemployeed americans, the govenment should certainly not be granting new visas, and when visa's expire those people need to go home unless they are going to become citizens.
Actually I have the best attitude that I or any other American can have... I have no issue with people coming to this country, and becoming part of American soceity(after all if my Irish,French,Britsh, great-grandparents had not come here, I wouldn't be here either)...However I have issues with people who are not American citizens potentially taking jobs away from people who are...like many of my friends who are currently out of work. I firmly believe that when their are American Citizens with the skill to do a job out of work, that a non-us citizen should not be taking a job that American citizen could be doing. I feel firmly as well that if they can't find a us citizen with the exact training to do said job, that they should be hiring one with the skills and background to learn that job, not looking at an H1B visa from outside.
The H1B visa, don't have any skills that US citizens don't already have(or could aquire through retraining), they are just willing to work for less and get beat on more! Kick all their asses out, hire an US IT worker who is currently out of work, but would love a Job(I know many), for a fair wage, and move on... H1B visa's are the equivalent of the scabs in a labor strike.
...Honestly those of us who are already out here, and already have jobs(or have lost jobs due the current market)...don't need any fresh young talent to arrive and threaten out job security or ability to get/change jobs...I hear Biotech needs help...maybe there is time to redirect your major....
Thus far there have been none of these issue, and not even a sign of them coming from Charter cable. These guy's rock, they give you a pipe then they go away and let you have at it...which is the way it should be...in fact they keep adding new services! (note that all the screen shots for Moxi, have a Charter Logo) Every town and their cable provider have to negotiate to stay the cable provider for that town every so often. Perhaps its time for towns to start breaking the AT&T Strangle hold, and switching thier cable providers.
I know you have stated many times that ST:5 was not waht it could have been because of production problems? So my Question is how would you go about fixing it? What was wrong in your eyes with the film? Personally I thought the bad guy pretending to be God could have used more backstory. Perhaps you could somehow retroactively connect it with the Q continum books that came out in the ST:TNG series a couple years ago...the entity playing God reminds me alot of the antagonists in those books.
Mr. Shatner, it almost seems that you have become a parody of yourself. I mean this in being so identified with being "Captain Kirk" that its now an inescapable role for you. Please see you and they see Captain Kirk. You you feel that its that which now gets you roles, or is it you as an actor that gets you roles? Do you have a desire to escape being Captian kirk or are you OK with that being who and what you are as an actor? PS.. I hope Paramount coughs up the bucks to fix ST:5 it had alot of potential in some ways, but wasn't quite there. I know you want to fix it...
I have been using ext3 since around 2.4.13...and it has not given me one problem yet and has in fact saved my ass serveral times. I have frequent power failures at my house, but ext3 recovers gracefully every single time....
The story seems to indivate that.Net is still going to come out...however the release after.Net has been cancelled in favor of concentration on the release orginally planned to follow....
I have had an idea to create such a service, however in the current economy it has been extrememly hard to find someone willing to put up the cash to make it happen....
The commerce side is easy, the business model is dead simple in that its profit sharing, the missing peice is start up cost. The only way to get music to be heard is to play it...and that takes badwidth over the internet...practically the only part of the whole thing that can't be done for free...shoutcasting a decent stream takes 56kb/s per connection...to cast that to more than a handful of listeners takes serious bandwidth...and serious bandwidth costs serious money... So if anyone has say $10,000 a month for bandwidth(until the breakeven point can be reached, who knows when that will be), I can get this off the ground with a few additional resources...
Actually its more like: $10,000 a month in bandwidth $20,000 a month in administrative(paychecks, rent,co-location fees, etc) +whatever it costs on a payment plan for an EMC symmetrix to store all the music.
Actually...the President at the time (Roosevelt I believe its been a long time since that History class) Said that the Income Tax was to be a temporary measure...
Honestly this stuff is a bandwidth hog, and its not your network...a college, or corporate network has but one purpose to get work done...thats why its there...if this were your cable modem or DSL line I might see a reason to complain... My suggestion, build an FTP or Web site and let people download what they want from that... Or get really intelligent and build a gateway server of some sort, that uses a web interface to submit requests to a machine on the otherside of the University firewall...that machine can do the search and download, and then offer the files up through web or ftp to download... but na that to much work, you want your stealing to be easy...
They crossed it about 5 minutes later when the Patriot Act passed. And don't kid yourselves, it has been said the patriot act is supposed to be somewhat limited and a temp measure....Yeah Right a Temp measure like the Federal Income Tax was supposed to be when it passed...
Honestly I scared...of all of the things going on...Homeland Security is a term that scares the hell out of me....
