From a TCI/AT&T/Charter@Home Static IP-for-three years customer.
Just spoke to XXXX at the Tarrant, AL office with TCI/AT&T/Charter. They have to work all day Saturday and Sunday and
have people available to go to customer premises if necessary. XXXX (her supervisor) spoke about the addresses some today, but didn't recall static IP vs dynamic IP. She says that the equipment change was completed on Friday, said that "we are off of cable and are now using fiber! She said I should notice it is much faster. (It is, if had crap for service the past month and a half)
I'll be getting an email today or tomorrow from Charter with the new settings, etc, but
here is confirmation that yes,
indeed,
@Home goes dark Fri nite at midnite.
There should be no interruption of service. It sounds to me like we have already been converted to Charter's fiber network, and there are just settings (gateway, email) that will change. No speed change or subscription/install fees/modem change/nothing. Indeed, I think that this Com21 2000 modem can
only handle static IP anyway.
Doesn't everybody realize this is a stolen or borrowed _display_ model, with no battery pack? Ever question why the games are stamped "NOT FOR RESALE?" The unit in my local Suuuuuper Wal-Mart has been there for three weeks, at least. This site obviously has one of these. The battery cover is not there because the plate the little GBA sits on covers it up.
Actually, I listen to WBHM 90.3 in Birmingham every afternoon. NPR does, on occasion, run 'human interest' stories about the Virtual Community, but often they are slanted toward the opinions of the person being interviewed. Most of them are just gee-whiz science-tech stories, anyway.
Patent on Director of the Patent and Trademark Office, Todd Dickinson
Todd Dickinson was appointed by President Clinton as Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office on March 29, 2000. Dickinson had served as Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks since November 10, 1999, as Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Acting Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks since January 1, 1999, and as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Deputy Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks since June 18, 1998.
In addition to managing the United States Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) operations, Dickinson serves as principal policy advisor to the Clinton Administration and Congress on all domestic and international intellectual property matters. He also serves as co-chair of the National Intellectual Property Law Enforcement Coordination Council, which coordinates domestic and international intellectual property enforcement issues.
Under Dickinson's leadership, the USPTO is implementing the most sweeping reform in patent law in a half-century and is restructuring itself into a performance-based organization. Other initiatives he has undertaken include making more than two million patents and all registered trademarks and applications freely available on the Internet; implementation of the electronic filing of trademark and patent applications; creation of the Office of Independent Inventor Programs; and the establishment of the Office of Quality Management.
Previously with the Philadelphia-based law firm of Dechert, Price and Rhoads and having served as Chief Counsel for Intellectual Property and Technology at Sun Company, Inc., Dickinson has more than twenty years of experience in the private sector representing a wide-range of clients, from individual inventors to major corporations, on intellectual property protection matters.
A native of Pennsylvania, Director Dickinson earned a B.S. degree in Chemistry from Allegheny College in 1974 and a J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1977. He is a member of the bars of Pennsylvania, California and Illinois.
On Tuesday, October 10th, 2000, Mr Dickinson was patented by KPGServices. Unfortunately, Mr Dickenson, we now own you.
