I don't work for Netmar, I can't speak for Netmar, but I do have an account there.
Basically, I think that fee only applies if you want Netmar to be your registrar, which you don't have to do if you already have a registrar. If you want Netmar to just run DNS for you, there is a $15 fee per zone, I think that fee may be one-time.
Will or Ethan - Correct this if it is wrong. I think I finally got it straight!:)
PWS used to be a small web server, then it jumped from 3 megs to 80 megs overnight. What happened is they abandoned the old code base and took IIS, stripped it down some, and marketed that as PWS. The old tiny version also could do FTP, but they didn't put that in the new huge version, since that would make it "too much like the real IIS".
Trust me, I do know the guys that work at Netmar, and they would not just kick you off the service without notice for something petty. If you are using all their bandwidth, I'm sure they would give you a call, or if they got a complaint about your page, they might look into it, but they are a business like any other, they can't afford to defend your ass in court, and they can't afford to be an accessory to a crime.
They are a good hosting service, and they aren't going to jerk you around, but you have to have some respect for them too. Play by the rules and you have superior hosting at a good price. Host a huge pirated movie archive that sucks down all their bandwidth and catches them flak from the MPAA, and I'm sure any hosting would kick your ass off.
I'm not sure what you guys want. Maybe you all are just anarchists that don't believe in laws.
Yeah, bad or no ground causes switching power supplies like computers have to electrify the case up to around 50-60 volts. It's not fun to work in an ungrounded system with computers, standing on a damp floor barefoot. I know that much from experience.
It's $10 a month for 100 megs, no bandwidth limits (within reason). No porn allowed, but other than that, they aren't trying to censor you.
Other than that, I'd recommend co-loc or a T1. The only real way to get totally free from any restrictions is to get a real T1 from a first tier provider.
I have to agree with you. I was searching for some Abba music about two years ago, for the weird programming moods that just require something mindless, not deep like Pink Floyd, and I kept coming across this A-Teen crap.
I didn't know what it was at first, but then I made the connection in my head, while my three year old son was watching Nickelodeon. For about 3 weeks around the time I started turning up all the A-Teen stuff on Napster, Nick was giving this kiddie cover band huge air time. We are talking like constant plugs and play. Tell me what a teen cover band that does all the exact same songs as Abba adds artistically? It reminds me of this rerelease of ET, just milking something that made money the first time around.
What really got me though was the interviews with the kids on the A-teens web site. They all were excited about "moving into doing some of their own songs."
Now it's about two years later, and those kids are out of the limelight, MTV/Nick/Whoever made their money, and they are left high and dry. I think it's pretty shitty that these kids were led to believe that this gig would lead them into any lasting fame, into something other than "that Abba cover band".
I'm sure this "pump and dump" of these pop bands happens all the time. Just another example of how the artist is taking a back seat to the money machine.
I think you are missing the point. What some people are arguing is equivalent to saying that it's OK not to learn simple arithmatic, since you can just carry a calculator where ever you go. It technically true, but pretty sad. Some basic skills should be learned even if we have the technology to do them for us, especially if your life is on the line.
"I can't get a job because I am an arrogant linux zealot" will work nicely.
I have a job. I save my company thousands of dollars a year designing Linux and open source solutions.
You argument is silly. Of course any large software project has some bugs. MS products have a disproportinate number of bugs, many of which MS won't even acknowledge as bugs. I used to program in VP and ASP and all that, about 3 years ago. Then I discovered Linux and open source. I will never ever go back.
If you are willing to put up with not knowing whether your program is the problem or it is a bug in the language, and willing to spend hours looking up API when you run into a wall because you thought outside the MS-box and need to do something they didn't spoon feed you, then you can get a job anywhere.
Jobs working with MS products should pay a lot more, they are a whole lot more stressful.
I think that wears off as you get older. I know it did for me. There is still a certain kick, but it's a lot less pronounced. You really get bored with impressing other people, and really then it becomes about impressing yourself. You really have to have that internal reward going, or I think you will succumb to the burn-out.
I think you are looking for work in the wrong place. The key to the future is that open souce will eliminate "programming companies" who's sole product is code-once-sell-to-everyone. This has been called "commodity software". Open source has that covered easily in most areas, or has plans to cover it in the future.
Where the money will be is not directly in a "technology company", but rather in consulting and in working for "non-tech" companies as a system integrator.
My official job title is IS/IT Coordinator. I work for a manufacturing company. Said company has large needs in the computing department, including digital workflows, data warehousing, and other things. These things can't be handled by off the shelf solutions. Our market is a niche market, but a necessary one (we print the labels that go on products you buy in grocery stores).
I think these companies are where the future is. They aren't tech companies, but they have large tech needs, needs that cannot be cost effectively filled by "turnkey solutions" or cookie-cutter software. Sure, they could farm out a lot of what we do to consultants, but having me and the rest of our small IT team saves them tons of money, and by working there and only there, we get unique insights into the company that would take years for a consultant to develop.
Anyway, go look around, at all companies, not just ones that are overtly technical. You may find a rewarding IT job where you least expect it.
Sangoma has full Linux support on all their WanRouter series of PCI based CSU/DSU cards. It's nice to eliminate the unnecessary hardware and be able to run a firewall directly on your Linux CSU/DSU. The drivers never crash in my experience, it's fully as stable as a "real" CSU/DSU.
If you have a fractional or full T1, be sure to check out Sangoma before you shell out lots of money for Cisco stuff.
All someone has to do is write a blatent trojan with an EULA. This will prompt action.
Just make it delete windows after 10 days or whatever. Or slowly delete parts of your documents, or send those documents back to a central place. You could do anything, and it would be "legal", since it is not unauthorized use of a computer system, they agreed to let you do said things. Why not?

Not too many people I know read EULA's unless they are looking for something specific, especially when it's 1100 words
Your short message was around 190 words. 1100 words isn't much.
If the person is just selling information, with no "get rich quick" parts to it, then it's probably legal. I'm not a lawyer, etc.
After all, when you buy a reference manual, or a non-fiction book of most sorts, you are just buying information on how to do something. Selling information is still legal, though probably unethical, and usually sold through misrepresentations, which are still illegal, or at the very least, invalidate any implicit contract formed when you bought the goods, i.e. you can sue to get your money back and win.
I once bought a program that claimed to give access to background check sort of databases, turned out to only be a VB program bunch of hyperlinks to different government sites, and sites like whowhere.com.
I wrote the seller of said program a nasty letter, and they refunded my money. That seems to be the plan of these shady people, at least the ones that plan to stay in business, just easily refund the money of the noisemakers, and they will likely not take any further action. It also gives the FTC less ammo.
What they are doing is questionably legal, due to the deceptive marketing, which is subjective, but I'm sure it's a good living for them, at least until the FTC catches up with them, and even then, they can probably still stay in business, the FTC seems pretty leniant if they clean up their act a little.
I'm not a lawyer, this is opinion, not legal advice.
1. Sell DVD copier software until you have enough money to afford a protracted legal battle. Probably already done.
2. Get a lawyer that hates the DMCA to work for cheap during said legal battle. Sue the MPAA.
3. Have protracted legal battle, and hope you don't get hit with an injunction too soon. Sell millions and millions of copies of DVD copier software after news hits press. (Profit!!?!?)
It doesn't matter if they win or lose, they still make millions and retire rich. It's highly unlikely that the court will touch their personal assets, even if they are fined, only their company will get fined.
You really do learn everything you need to know in kindergarten.
Remember when you accidentally or deliberately did something bad to a classmate on the playground, and you knew they were going to tattle on you, and you would run to get to the teacher before they did, so you could get the first word in the matter? And how it worked half of the time?
Actually, a brief section on propaganda was in one of my grade school civics books. I'd say around 6th grade. I think it is pretty standard to have a section on propaganda in most civics (social studies) books.

Don't underestimate your downstream, I used to be on 384/128, and paid $60 a month for it!

This all happened in early 1998 or so.
While you are at it, why don't you "borrow" all their pens and paper, and toner cartridges, and laptops, and everything else that isn't nailed down.
Netmar has been in business since 1994, they are no fly-by-night. This policy has worked for them apparently.
and I'd like to have someone on my side if idiots come in and try to shut things down.
What you want is called a lawyer, not an ISP or hosting service. If you think $10 a month can buy a lawyer on retainer, you are sorely mistaken.
Trust me, I do know the guys that work at Netmar, and they would not just kick you off the service without notice for something petty.

How exactly would a wiring fault cause excess static electricity? Humidity and flooring materials are much more important to static problems.

Sorry, harsh, but true. Knowing how to crimp a CAT5 connector and what a crossover cable is, is trivial.

This whole bill seems like that game you play with fortune cookies, appending "in bed" to the fortune.
It's like they stuck "to minors" on the end of everything to make it "OK".
BTW- the way this bill is written, it looks like it condones sending sexual advertisement emails to minors, so long as they are properly marked.
It depends.
