Have you checked wheter someone else than BT is doing telegrams right now?
Over here the dutch equiv. of BT stopped delivering telegrams in 2002 (apparently they delivered over 80k of them in 2001). But apparently some private company (http://www.unitel.nl/) thought they could still make some money with telegrams (http://www.telegram.nl/ and even tripled the number in their first year. Both sites are totally unresponsive for me right now.

I'm always amazed at the willingness of small companies to "out source" such essential communication mechanisms to parties over which they have no control at all. I can imagine it for small companies without a decent IT "guy". But a software company should know better.
Sure, but skype appears to just work. Setting up something like Asterisk (and maybe a VPN) has direct real costs like installing and maintanance. The adminstrators will also be blamed whever anything goes wrong, where skype is untouchable and provides nog guarantees anyway.
It's funny that when google is concerned opt-out is suddenly a good thing, even for copyrighted works (remember the google library scanning discussions).

Switch to a provider that gives you the freedoms you seek. You mention Verizon so I guess you are used to pratices in the US. Just about the rest of the world has a more liberal cell phone environment.
Over here I have never seen a locked down phone, except for a SIM lock. But the telecommunications regulators have made sure that locked phones have to be unlocked on request 1 year after purchase. I guess consumers are smart enough to never buy one might a provider consider marketing them.
Don't like your provider? Switch to one of the 10 others by simply replacing your SIM (you can even keep your current number).
What a rediculous statement. Insulating a house and efficient vehicles are big things and cost losts of money.
Implementing lighting with efficient lightbulbs or just turning of unused equipment is extremly easy (though simply replacing all oldstyle wolfram filament is silly). These are things you can do yourself whever you want, it shows a mentatilty shift and even though a person might have a SUV it might think about when and how to use it. When the time comes around to replace the car they might choose the efficient type.
"- Laptops will start shipping with a secondary LCD screen that's accessible when the machine is closed. So you will be able to do things like checking the status of your e-mail, IM, stocks, weather, whatever -- without taking the machine out of sleep mode, spinning up the hard drives, etc."
So Vista will essentially do in 2007 what any modern cell phone could do last year. And a cell is even small enough to carry around anywhere and is always on anyway.
Atleast here something physical went missing. How about "open" wireless networks or unguarded network connections within the reach of the "customers" of a hopsital? Nobody would ever know.
For example: last year some security experts had access (in some cases read/write) to 1.2 million records for 2 weeks at 2 hospitals in the Netherlands by access their networks.
I guess that there are more than 1 record per person, but consider the Netherlands has a population of only 16 million.
You made everyone very curious about the kind of documents you are talking about. Might you consider jonwil's idea of creating a test document that demonstrates the problems so people can actually try to fix them?
When will people learn to do it the other way around: ask first, buy the good parts later.
There are plenty of projects going on to try to supply good drivers, but every time a good driver is ready for a great product the manufactureres have silently switched to a (cheaper) chipset.
Funny, but I always heard the porn myth like: Philips its V2000 (aka VCC), despite being much better than both VHS and Beta, was doomed due to the lack of porn.
That was in a time where the founding family was still in controll of the company.
So you still have to check 75 spam for a possible ham.
That is why I run my own email setup. Spam gets rejected on the outside, if ham gets rejected (the smtp error mentions that it was perceived as spam), legit senders get the error and get a chance to retry.
The net result is that I only get about 1 or 2 possible ham marked as spam in my mailbox per month.

Let me guess, it's 768/128 at the ATM level (or whatever transport is used). That should give you about the numers you mention with IP.

I have yet to see a PSP that works with my 2 WPA AP (an old Asus 300g (EAP only) and a hostapd (EAP and PSK)).

More like the C128D. Click the keyboard under the casing and pullout the handle: luggable

It's for the people who hate Linux.

Here's a second one.
Redundant indeed.
Stop saying what we already know.
When will people learn to do it the other way around:
ask first, buy the good parts later.

That will not work, one of the most used MUAs has it references implementation broken.

"And free formats such as FLAC and OGG are widely used"
You are confusing something, the term formats doesn't make it any clearer.
FLAC: Free Lossless Audio _Codec_
Ogg: a _container_
When most people say Ogg, almost always they should have said Vorbis, the most common audio codec inside Ogg containers, instead.
FLAC can be encapsulated in an Ogg container. Though I have never seen this combo before.
