I read the document and I do not agree with you. This is like demanding every store/business/homes install camaras and microphones. Demanding that these stores/business/homes keep 6 months worth of history in case some one commits a crime.
If you suspect me of being a terrorist go ahead get a search warrant. It has happened time after time that this information has been abused for the profit of criminals/police/money.
If you have and acussation to make do it... If not keep off/out. It's not your business.
Unicast/multicast are just words. We would need to restrict who is allowed, when they are allowed, what the are allowed to multicast on the Net in order for muticast to work. Bandwidth is limited and if all can multicast then is it not unicast and we are back to square one.
Multicast is for TV, Radio, and traditional media. I may be wrong but could someone please explain to me how multicast would work through the phone, which is a unicast by design such as the Net, then I may understand how it would work through the Net.
What he should have said was if you wish to use MS products to use the Internet then do NOT ask for my help.
That's what I said to my friends and now I have time to enjoy myself. Before that, I would go over to a friends house and find myself cleaning up their system.
I bought 10.0 because of the claim to better networking, which at the time was FALSE. Having no option to return the software I let it sit and waited for the patch which NEVER came.
Now to get my printer and scanner to work I have to spend $125? This is nickel and diming and yes they are money grubbing. 10.0 should never have been released, it was incomplete. 10.1 fixed some bugs. Yup it seems that the golden rule in software is true..Do NOT buy it untill the second patch has come out.
The $19.95 is not the issue, it's that I feel that the OS has finally arrived to a release level. 10.2 seems to address printing and scanning which I had at 8.5 and 9. It just seems that I need to spend to get it to the fuctionality of 9.
I would pay another $19.95 for this version but I will not pay over $100. I've already paid it
All that you have mentioned means nothing to me. It's just candy. Sherlock WOW. Get real. I need my scanner, printer and other stuff to work under OS X as they did with OS 9.
For $100 I expect more or should I say less the basics to be there first. I had to upgrade to X.1 and I'm starting to feel that I have to upgrade to X.2 at least with M$ it's once every 18 months not every 12.
XP is not familiar it is new. Have you tried to set up a Dial-up networking connection on it? It does not work like 95/8. What is this firewall? Where is this familiar feature in 95/8.
Windows is not that great it does not do everything. It's trying to become Linux as Linux is trying to become Windows.
You missed my point. I have it on my current system why would I want this other incomplete solution. You touched only on one aspect of my problem while creating others. I do not wish to get into a war here. Windows does not do everything that Linux can.
Windows free because I do not HAVE to use Windows. I am familiar with XP, Win2000, Win95, Win98..... I support it/them. They do NOT have the features that I need.
XP is pretty. That's it...that's all. It's not on my work computer, it's not on my home computer. I prefer FreeBSD and Linux to Windows.
Cut and paste is Highlight and middle mouse click. The only time I have a problem with this is when I'm in Windows. It even works between systems. This has been around as long as I can remember.
I have a little question for you that I cannot seem to get anyone to answer. I run X with 6 desktops. Each desktop has a purpose. Here is my setup.
Desktop 1: Internet, Mozilla
Desktop 2: Accounting,
Desktop 3: System Maintenance xterm
Desktop 4: email
Desktop 5: Office
Desktop 6: Temp, sh1t
I'm working in a spreadsheet or an office document and get a call from a client. I switch desktops and start helping him. I check his account status while he identifies himself. I switch desktops and verify that the problem is not on his server. I verify if the problem is on my server at the same time. I look at the logs, and ask him to reboot his system. when the system comes back up. He thanks me for the help and I return to my work. AND HERE IT IS the cell that I was editing in the spreadsheet is waiting for me. Can you please show me how to do this in Windows.
You see each OS has it's strong points. Most of which are very stupid like the one mentioned above. I do not find that the UI ALWAYS needs to be aesthetic BUT the OS ALWAYS needs to be stable. NO I CANNOT wait till the next version. I do NOT want Linux to become Windows if I wanted Windows I would buy Windows. I BUY Linux and FreeBSD and OpenBSD because they work how they work.
By the time a movie comes out on cable I've already rented it or bought the DVD. Why would I want to tape (sorry record) it.
If a movie is good, it's cheaper to buy a dvd than to pay for Pay Per View. At least you can watch it whenever you please and you can pause it to go to the loo.
The only time I watch movies on cable is when I have nothing better to do. I have yet to purchase one on Pay Per View but I will rent a DVD that I've seen before if the movie was good, even if it's free on TV, at least nothing is cut out and it has no poor editing such as changing words to meet the TV audience.
I have moderator points and I'm not using them go figure.
It's funny that this came up today but I guess it's starting to hurt spammers and they are starting to fight back.
Yesterday I received a funny email that one of my clients was spamming. This email seemed to come from spamcop.net. What was starnge it was close to but not exeactly the warning typically sent by spamcop. So I sent them an email and here is the reply:
Spamcop spam is forged
Starting appoximately 12 noon EST 06 Aug 2002, spam purporting to be from spamcop (abuse@julianhaight.com) began being sent in an attempt to 'get spamcop in trouble'. This is a standard spammer tactic (joe job).
These messages were not sent by spamcop, and the claims made in them are false. Please disregard the email and/or block the originating IP address - 206.161.21.66 (cais.net). This IP has been blocked by SpamCop's blacklist since June. It appears cais.net is not responsive to complaints - their phone number (877-427-3368) leads to a computerized system with no attendant. It *may* be safe to block all of cais netspace: 206.161/16.
Please do not block mail from julianhaight.com or spamcop.net. If you cannot block by IP address, it is safe to block the origin email addresses, ( 'abuse@julianhaight.com', 'webmaster@julianhaight.com', 'webmaster@spamcop.net', 'abuse@spamcop.net') as no legitimate mail should be sent from these.
If you would like to contact someone at spamcop about this, you can send email to deputies@admin.spamcop.net. But please refrain from doing so. We are aware of the problem, and we are doing what we can to limit the damage. Unfortunately, since we're not responsible for sending it, there is little we can do to stop it.

As you can see at least one spammer seems to be fighting back. You can also fing this on the web at http://www.julianhaight.com/forgery.shtml (I did not link directly to the site for obvious reasons. Maybe I should not even put this up?)
Mabey we should teach them a lesson and start refusing any connection from those IPs....
I think you have made his point. Prior to the DMCA he could talk about his research. Now due to the DMCA he is unable to talk about the DMCA. Strange No? Where is the freedom of speech?
I know not of one company that chould account 100% of it's assets. Sure they know where the buildings are, but can they accurately account for every chair, adding machine (calculator), etc.. Accounting for assets of less than $500 in most cases would cost them more than the theft.
This is where I would place most software. It's easy when everything is new but as time goes by you tend to missplace things. I could bet that if Cannon or TI would ever walk into a company and request for the receipts for the adding machines they would have a hard time finding them. I could for a fact tell you that I do NOT know where the receipt for the chair in which I'm sitting on right now is. Nor the one for this clunky adding machine, and I bet it cost more than MS$ office when it was purcahsed.
Windows 95 is over 7 years old in most jurisdictions you would no longer need to keep the receipts for the tax man. So all I have to say is GET REAL.

I consider it a patch other people consider it an upgrade. The only reason I went to 10.1 was to the PPPoE patch which was not available on 10.0.
I feel that Apple is nickel and dimeing it's users.

There is no gift here...This is a bribe... If this were a gift, there would be no other obligation. In other words no future payments required.

Now not only do we have this on /. but also on TiVo.
Does /. have a patent on this?
Here Here. mod this up. I never have the points when I need them.
At the time I did not know of the BSA and no I never agreed with any terms. But I could care less it was running NeXT within two days of purcahse.
