I forgot one other feature in that details link. It will show if you are concurently logged in. This would be the case if someone was logged in monitoring your activity, or you simply left yourself logged in at work. If you have a concurent login, you can disconnect the other logged in accout, tossing them off. Then immediatly change your pasword to prevent them from logging right back in.
I admit that I didn't notice that either. I picked up this gem from a scam baiting site forum. Most typical scam email styles are covered that seperate fools from their money.
For part of your paper trail, look at the lower right corner of Gmail. I bad guys were in your account recently, you may find some evidence on the "Last account activity: 13 hours ago Details".. Click on the Details link and it will open your most recent login times and IP addresses. If you were not on a trip and you were logged in from Florida or somewhere else, it is time to save the info and change your password. Knowing the IP adderess of someone using your account is good evidence. Contact their ISP with time, date, timezone, with the info. It may be against his ISP's terms of service to hack from his account. For those without Gmail, this is what it looks like. Note IP addresses altered to protect my privacy. I checked my mail from work, home, and on a recent trip.

Prior to Napster (1970's) my highest music purchasing years were while I was in the Military. In the barracs, it was common to share LP's to tape on Cassette tape. Buying LP's was to contribute to the pool of music. At the current prices, I would not purchase much music, and thus very little high end tape decks, receiver, speakers, and turntable. A radio boom box would have been the extent of my music with FM services. Exposue to new music in the club resulted in many purchases. Much marginal music was copied, but not worth purchase, but filled in an otherwise small library.
If music was priced like our daily newspaper, it would not be copied for the same reason the newspaper is not copied. Good articles are clipped and saved. The filler is thrown out, not saved and re-sold. Music has NEVER been priced in this catagory until Napster where new music is often downloaded, listened to for a few days, or less and then archived, or discarded.
The TV is this way now. Netflix is for watching TV shows, and movies, and then discarding (streaming). Bittorrent is most often for checking out B roll films. The good stuff is purchased on Blu-Ray or DVD for the quality.
Ever buy a film you never saw, then considered it trash? Went to see a movie and was offended as the western turned out to be a Gay movie. (Brokeback) I felt like I paid to see a Goatse movie....
Other movies, I did like and then bought on DVD.. such as The Gods Must Be Crazy. Loved it.
Music is the same way. I'm not likely to pay premium prices for a CD full of tracks I've never heard. A CD I really like, I'm likely to buy to obtain a high quality version. Unfortunately, recently with the Loudness war, the high quality version does not exist. At least the movies are working on THX certification to maintain the dynamic headroom and Signal to Noise ratio of movie soundtracks.
I still have that old email account and use it from time to time, so if the Slashdot staff does wish to drop me a note for any reason, I'll get it. It is not a forgotten account. Just none of the setup info is valid anymore. I no longer have a phone there, live there, etc. They did let me keep my email address when I left unlike most ISP's. The email was moved from the ISP to a 3rd party email host, so that adds another layer of seperation from my original account info.
I take exception to the anonymous by default is invisible on slashdot. Nicknames with no real ID is OK on Slashdot. My RL and Slashdot life are only loosly connected so what is said in truth on Slashdot does not fill my inbox in RL with takedown notices and threats of legal action for what I say. Did I mention hardware I own is mine to modify and repair? Did I mention anything else someone would like to suppress by legal threats and or action?
I have an account. It does not contain my real name, address, or phone number. It does contain my old email address, but that is not publicly revealed. If it was, I am no longer at the address where I was when it was opened. It would take quite a bit of investigation to connect my Slashdot ID with my RL ID, unlike Facebook.
Because Facebook uses RL info, I post very little on it. It is only family and circle of friends stuff and never used to discuss copyright and other News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters.
I don't post on Slashdot that I enjoyed a relative's birthday party. I don't post on Facebook what I think about the RIAA or BSA. (Not the scouts)
A passive device does not need approval. A dish antennal on the roof with an appropiate feedhorn and feedline down to an in home antenna should not be a problem. Only active transmission equipment needs regulated.
I was in hilly countryside and asked a resident about the blank billboard on a hill nearby. They explained it was a passive cell phone repeater to bounce signal into the homes in the valley between hills. It seems to do the job well.
When you find it, remove the USB wireless and replace it with a Magnitron from a Microwave oven. An extra KW pointed and focused on his antenna tend to de-sensiise all his wireless connections perminately. Limit the blast to a couple of seconds to prevent his equipment from going up in flames. Note, this may not be legal in your jurisdiction and dealing with Magnitron voltages is best left with someone who knows what they are doing.
Be very unreliable for them. Set up access limits and times. Many routers have a nanny mode to keep your kids off after they are supposed to be in bed.
My printers, etc are on the wired LAN, along with my VOIP adaptor. Set up the wireless to go down a few minutes into his hacking session everyday if he attacks at the same time everyday. Hard to hack dead air.
I set up the rule so wireless is blocked when I am in bed, or at work. Hackers may want a reliable connection. Don't provide one.
I have spare routers. Pick up a cheap one from Goodwill or other thrift store. Power it up not connected to anything. Let them connect to a no network network instead. Monitor the connectons to it.
Knowing your potential customers is essential. A databse of neighborhoods and survey results could be used to expand FIOS offerings to include more potential customers.
For example, how many people want Internet and NOT the bundled Telephone and Subscription TV packages? This package is hard for customers to obtain at reasonable prices due to the pushing of Value Added services the customer does not want or wish to pay for.
ISP phone packages for example are $30 + with taxes in the US. Great you can call all of the US. Big deal. My current VOIP with Google Talk I can call all of the US and Canada for FREE. Out of area callers can have the same package with their cell phone or Google Voice to call me free.
If I want unlimited calling to overseas numbers, there are packages out there for under $10/month which includes 40 countries, + low rates to other countries.
For TV I have great over the air for local news. I care less about armchair quarterback sports, so Netflix is fine.
I just want Internet at reasonable speed, low latency, and no throttling or blocked ports. I can block ports I need blocked at the router firewall.
If a bundled FIOS solution is $150, and no unbundled Internet for a reasonable price, I'll stick with other broadband solutions.
Use gathered data to increase your market penetration, instead of maintaining a high average selling price with poor market penetration.
Remember when the market went crazy a few years ago when Intel released the Atom? TM on Intel and Atom.. because it would canabilize the desktop market? Intel had a record year, and has continued to grow year over year. They prevented greater market loss to tablets by competing in the sub laptop market. Now they are in the Ultrabook market with high performance chips drawing low power.
If an ISP does not grow with the market and sticks with only high end bundles, they will leave open a hole for competion to grow.
Use the database to optimize your market offerings. Be aware that your competion will also be adjusting to market threats, which includes your offerings. Plan for it. The pool is limited in scope. Are you planning on serving the under employed who drop the ISP and only use a smart phone because of high broadband cost?
Survey your market..
Do you have a smart phone? Do you have home Broadband? If yes, DSL, Cable, WiMax, Fiber? Is your broadband speed OK? Is your internet Bundled? Are you using a VOIP device or service such as Google Talk, Magic Jack, Skype, etc?
Further questions can define price points for various package offerings. Try to meet most of the market segments as possible.
I had the joy of testing donated printers to a charity fundraiser, and MOST printers installed and worked without a Network connection to obtain drivers, except the Lexmarks. No printer drivers was problems from more than a decade ago.
I tried Windows 8. I was asked to help someone set up dual boot with Linux Mint. It went something like this...
Tried booting on the CD... Booted Windows. Shutdown (knew how from a Youtube review)
Tried restarting into the BIOS to set boot order.. Somehow started Windows Update.. Don't have a clue how, but did. This was at church and not at home.. No net connection was setup. Could not find how to exit, minimise, or swap tasks to check for setting the WiFi access point at the church to enter the password.
Ctl-C, Esc, Alt-Tab, Swipe top to bottom, nothing... The black screen of "Updating Windows Update 1 of 2 do not power off" remained fixed on the screen for 2 hours when I had to leave. I'll check with the owner if it ever finished.. I left a copy of Linux Mint with him and gave basic instructions on booting on the CD.
At least while installing Linux Mint, I can set up a network connection to include the non free drivers.
Mine is only one of many problems idiots like me have fighting Windows 8. You could say I wasn't doing it right. You are correct.. I managed to handle Linux Mint without instructions too, but did much better.
I think they should extend that to within 100 miles of the coast line too. I'm about 80 miles from an ocean. I wonder how much of Washington DC is more than 100 miles from the coast.
They need to walk a mile in the shoes of anyone near a boarder to realise the pain. How many illegals are in Washington DC? Maybe it is time we stopped everyone there to find out.
I have 2 routers. It's easy to pick up a cheapie at Goodwill. One is fully encrypted., the other has limited connections.. 1 for my guests. It's off when I don't have guests. Prevents copyright infringement cases and other legal liabilites the US citizens are subjected to if sharing a connection with guests.
Define poor.. I'm hardly poor, but my first oppertunity for Internet was on dial-up at $0.25/minute. I passed because the bang for the buck was terrible. In some rural areas like where my folks live, Broadband is a small fraction of 1Mbps supposidly due to the distance from the DSLAM, but at higher rates then my city DSL connection at 6 Meg. When the gap between dial-up and broadband is only ~3X faster and price is ~10X more, it makes sense to stay on dial-up for a while and just use email. YouTube is nothing but Buffering.... Buffering.... on either.
All I can figure is the camera is mounted on the other side of the big plexiglass ball the chopper is inside to keep ash and stuff out of the turbine engine..;-)
I wonder if this is more record labels bookeeping. We wond the case but we can't pay the copyright owner because our expenses exceeded our income.
Anyone have an itemised list of the expenses.. What was this money spent on anyway? Sounds steep to me.. Now if only the city had to pay that rate to issue a redlight camera or photo radar ticket..
Probably a 1st year study where hardware is replaced and upgraded and proprietary hardware is discarded + training costs. Read the Ernie Ball story. Switching has a cost... at first. Ernie Ball had an unexpected cost of sticking with windows, A BSA Audit. With an audit, the savings is more immediate and a serious liability is removed. http://news.cnet.com/2008-1082_3-5065859.html

Better is one with the owner's photo. This has worked for me. An anomalous looking bag is more likely to be stolen than a generic looking case with the owner's photo printed on it. My luggage tags include a full size photo on the back and a passport size printed on the front. Thieves don't like a confrontation. Possession of luggage with someone else's photo ID may result in a confrontation.
