Which network centers are we talking abotu that wre going to run out of deisel? TV/Radio? Are they without power right now? That post wasn't terribly clear.
A friend of mine and I have started an ISP for very few start-up costs. We accomplished this by renting lines from UU.NET and then we provide the mail/radius, etc servers. They are in a data center. So it's been very inexpensive for us, and the dial-up line quality seems to be very good frmo UU.NET
Having a UHF or VHF phone would have been very interesting indeed. I can't say that I would have used one, but could they have been safer as far as radiation goes? Or would having a small UHF/VHF transmitter next to your head have been worse then todays transmitters?
Jerry Thorwayn is an author of a book called "Proffessor Ovilstar's Infinate Paradox", and it deals with all kinds of math theorums, as well as these flat land principals. You can see it here: www.ovilstar.net. He has written a whole book about this type of thing and inter-weaves romance and excitement into it. Kind of a sci-fi educational book:)
As long as we are talking about planets and looking at them, there is a really neat website that allows you to track satellites (ISS, etc) and see when they will pass over you, as well as comments, irridium flares (SAVED AGAIN! sheesh), and moon phases.

Censor ware isn't all bad. Generally the kids who are looking up porn at school are NOT the computer junkies.. they are the people / kids who don't care about school and things. Instead, the it's the people like fjordboy and myself, who knows how to get around proxies and what not, that don't look up porn, and hence know how to get aroud BESS (bad dog!) when she comes up. Granted, there are those who have good intensions and still can't get to where they are trying... but for everything else there's Mastercard:)
Ahh ok.. my bad... I thought they still had control of it (kind of like renting a cable modem from your ISP).... in that case.. yeah they should not be just coming in there and screwing with your stuff.. couldn't that be breaking and entering some how?
... but, this real-play thing is their software and hardware is it not? And you are also subscribing to their services right? True, it may not be convient, but I don't know that it's not moral. Unless they promised in the beginning not to give you ads, I can't see how this would be morally wrong. In addition, I would assume that the advertisement does allow you to go right back to the program when you return to your TV. It's like if I run an office, with a bunch of computer and a Novell network. One day I decide to change the log-in script to do something different. I dont' really need to tell any of the users that I've changed anything, might be nice to do, but I need not do it. So maybe I now change all their screen savers to "Dilbert".. ? not morally wrong.. but perhaps inconvient?
Ok,
One April Fools joke was funny, but then we started getting a bit out of hand, in my opinion, when like every story on slashdot was an A.F. joke *sigh* hehehe
Indeed,
Many times I have gone on napster to download either music which is in the public domain or else sound clips from tvs/movies. I don't know about this, but I'm fairly confident that the movie industry isn't going to go through and ok every single sound clip that is out there floating around napster. As a result, if I record something from say Pinky and the Brain, and then want to put it in my mp3 folder, no one else can access it. In addition what about works which no longer are copyrighted? This sounds totally illegal to me
I was looking on MicroSoft's website, and saw this:
Microsoft tested the following products to assess whether they are affected by this vulnerability. We will waive normal support guidelines to provide remediation for all operating systems that are still in widespread use, regardless of whether they are normally supported or not.
* Microsoft Windows 95
* Microsoft Windows 98
* Microsoft Windows Me
* Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
* Microsoft Windows 2000
Now, maybe I'm wrong here. But it seems to me that this problem affects other operating systems, not just windows. What about windows 3.11? While it is mostly phased out, it would affect anyone using it who happened apon a website that had these certificates on them. What about a linux or mac user? It certainly would also affect them if they came apon the website. Now, to my knowlden, MS doesn't make any linux software, so it doesn't do anything with ActiveX, but what about Macs? There are versions of Office for macs, wouldn't it affect them? Seems to me that someone was a bit cloud headed when they wrote this.
There is nothing I hate more.. then purchasing a piece of computer hardware.. and then having my computer crash... only to find out the company has gone out of business.. taken their website with them.. and I can't find drivers.. So i have to search the internet extensively to find the drivers. =)

Is there a reason neither of the URLs in the story resolve or work?

Hi,
In reference to the small home network and metal shelves that fjordboy talked about above. Here are some pictures of the stuff:
Our Server and such
Our UPSes on the rack
All that this is is a metal shelf, but it works great to keep the batteries off the floor (wetness is bad for batteries), and it's all good!

I use TAC, which I believe came from AOl some where along the lines, and it seems to function fine :)
The only thing I'm thinking of... is that websites and active X controls (not apps) could cause problems?

Don't proteins get filtered out in your body anyway? Although I suppose you'd be able to market this as an alternative to calcium . . .
Yup.. just think.. if you drink this stuff enough you'll eventually have this web clogging your intestines and stomache.. MMMM MMMM good!
Better make sure you keep your goats seperate or we could have some problems. Uhhh, joe.. which one is the milk goat and which is the silk goat...
That's why I use PINE =) I seem to be un-touched by e-mail viruses, and other stuff heheheh
