Does DMCA apply here?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the DMCA only apply in cases of devices meant to enforce copyright protection?

Why continue using Outlook?

On: Another Nasty Outlook Virus Strikes

What with all of these viruses spreading via the aid of Outlook these days, i tend to wonder why people don't use other programs to check their email.

I've Been using Netscape Communicator's E-mail program for years, without a problem.

As an added benefit, it stores all my e-mail as plain text (NOT like Outlook)

In the next year you'll be seing usb boxes hanging off your computer or etnernet ones of your hubs that plug into your house phone network(unpluggin from outside telco legacy network) and you will be able to use your hose phones to Call anywhere and recieve calls.

I've recently purchased a Creative VoIP Blaster, which is essentially that. It has a USB interface on one end, and an RJ11 for any telephone on the other. Run the software, plug in the phone and you're ready to go. The neat thing is (with their software,) you can actually use the phone to dial another computer up.

I'm not too familiar with the way telephone lines are hooked up in the house, but i would imagine that you could plug this VoIP blaster into your telephone junction box (where your home lines are connected to the telco's) and be able to use any phone in the house for VoIP.
