It works just fine, including the scroll wheel. Right-clicking brings up the context menu like Control-Clicking does with an Apple mouse. I'm using a Microsoft 2-button scroll mouse on my Mac mini right now.
The pictures were from Sidekick devices that T-Mobile sells. Most data stored on the Sidekick is also stored on T-Mobile's servers, and is accessible through the T-Mobile website. This is sold as a security-blanket feature: if you lose your Sidekick, you can get a new sim and your new device will redownload all your information from T-Mobile.
The article did talk about how he had access to website usernames/passwords of T-Mobile users, and that was how the pictures were obtained.
I think you missed RAMMS+EIN's point. If you want to use Jabber to talk to your existing contacts that use AIM, you will need an AIM account to do so. And AOL could accidently suspend that AIM account just as easily as they suspended one used by a normal AIM user.
Most people I know don't use AIM because of the wonderful featureset or reliability of the service, they use it because everyone else they know uses it. That's certainly why I use AIM.
I can tell you that's not true with T-Mobile in the bay area. I've set my own calling party number (caller-id) using my company's PBX, and it lets me into my T-Mo voicemail.
Inter-tel does have a zip-drive kit available for the older OS/2 AVDAP boxes. If you don't mind going outside of the Inter-tel support system, you can also boot from a DOS disk with the Iomega guest driver on it, and copy the AVDAP\DB folder to the zip drive. Course, you're still using a floppy disk, but sure as hell beats 200 of 'em (nobody here erases voicemail. ever.).
We ended up going the zip disk route when we converted from the OS/2 AVDAP to the Windows 2000-based AVDAP.
Ah, you probably don't have the horrible 'TV Guide' interface. I have Comcast Digital (was AT&T) in San Jose with the TV Guide interface, and it's exactly as jandrese described it.
NetWare is indeed it's own operating system, complete with drivers, memory management, etc. It does require DOS to boot, but typically removes DOS from memory after starting. Newer version of NetWare support TCP/IP as well as IPX.
I have 10.1 (5G64 - RC1) running on a ice-book with 256 megs of RAM, and it's yummy. The biggest problem I have found is that the subtitles/overlays in the DVD player are offset.
Not necessarily true. At my old ISP[1], each dial port was assigned a specific IP. I believe they first used BSDI boxes with multiport cards, and then moved to USR/3Com TotalControl racks.
Sure you can. Register for Cisco Connection Online, almost any integer will work for the contract number. After you are logged into the CCO, you can download updates for any Cisco product. The firmware updates for the 600 series are here. Whee!
I guess you never heard of Channel 1. Channel 1 is fluff news with two (or was it three?) commercial breaks. They'd agree to pay for all the equipment at the school end (sat dish, TVs in the classrooms, wiring, etc) and the school would agree expose you to vapid, obnoxious ads for ten minutes a day.
Hmmm... I managed to find the MIB for our 4500N. It wasn't in an obvious place (I think it was listed under the JetDirect card, not the printer), but I got it.
Where I work most of the remote users change positions often enough that they have userids like cn_ast2 (Property CN, Assistant 2), and they still plenty of personal mail.
Both TiVo and ReplayTV connect to an ISP (using a local number) and use authenticated HTTP to get program data and software updates. Example:
Replay Network Services
I read 'somewhere' that the FCC doesn't allow direct pay-for-placement, so the company (IE: Apple) will donate some products, like a Cinema flatscreen, and the studio will use them on the show as props.
With Apple products, it doesn't matter if you cover the logo; the cases are so distinct that you don't need it. Same thing with the red and white coke can.
I wish I remembered where I read that, though. It might have been TheStandard or Salon.com.
AFAIK, the way it works is that in the Federal Govt., only certain organizations are authorized to use your SSN. Outside the Federal Govt., any private company is allowed to use it. If you don't want to give it to the private org, your only recourse is not do business with them.

Because of susie.

If you want to be like that, take a gander at mine.

You forgot the zeroth law:

Yeah, but the French are too busy taking them apart.
Ever see the message "Cannot find NTOSKRN.VXD"...
I think you mean NTOSKRNL.EXE. And that's why we have ERD floppies and BackupExec IDR.
The new Toshiba Tecra 8100s have scroll 'buttons' above the primary mouse button. Ain't cheap on the wallet, though.
Her es Toshiba's page. If you squint, you can see the two smaller buttons above the primary mouse button.

Nope. I have a ReplayTV, and the tuner takes 1-2 seconds to change the channel and queue up some video (for instant replay).
