I think it'll go like this:
DDos detectors send reports to central data pool, ISP's pay for acces to said pool (the bandwidth saved may be your own!!) ISP's terminate connections and ask questions later.
this way MC Crappy can charge for acess to the DDos Zombie list. any bets on if they'll provide this information for free?
Cable companies give you the link to the @home backbone, @home gives web access, mail, homepage, startpage, and a stupid browser skin...
Cable companies are doing fine, they'll just need to dump you out onto the web from somewhere else and find you a different email service. Personally, I think what they offered as a start page was revenue generating comercially driven trash. Sales pitches weaved into the headlines like they're something new and all that kind of lame stuff. I'm going to be glad to see them go. this will speed up the opening of cable networks and give options when you sign up for cable modem connnections.

I just know MS has some kind of tie-in to eveything else planned for their Xbox, I don't know what it is yet, but hey've got something up their sleve.
I'm an old nintendohead, I got me a PS2 last week, it's good (I think Game Cube will be better), but it'll be better once I can boot a linux web-browsing terminal on my TV set. I predict having Linux compatability will become the norm and this will boost any console that can run Linux. This also means developers can develop games for Linux that run on consoles and PCs. Sorry MS, it's too late for you.
so if there's a distibuted client app that also allows for file sharing, everyone could download it and we'd all have supercomputers. I saw 40TB of content on LimeWire yesterday, granted it was mostly music and not scientific data. but after decoding a music stream and loading a webpage, what do you do with all those extra clockcycles anyhow? how about providing a globus interface in the major Linux Distros, so you could subscribe to the grid along with system updates and supoort options. sure it'd piss off my ISP but what the hell do I care?
You wrote: science also was sure that the Earth was the center of the universe actually, the church saw to it that those proposing that the earth was not the center of the universe were denounced as being 'anti-god' or something. I'm sure other well versed readers here could place names and dates to show examples of this. In the future , right now that is, we're unlocking the building blocks of life and may come to figure out how to build 'life' from scratch. This also has the power to destroy the view that Life can only be created by god, in a way the same as removing our world from the center of the universe did so long ago. that being said, there's a lot of fetuses just laying around in trash cans from abortions anyhow, why can we just get stem cells from them?
instead of every book me and my family has ever read taking up whole walls with shelves, I could have a microdrive about the size of a matchbox.
most of my reading is done from a computer monitor anyhow. But then again, I haven't tried reading a novel this way (unless you count How-Tos)

with a list and display of images, this browser has cool stuff in it.
Branding = AOL/Netscape inspired bookmarks and messenger. add the AOL messenger in the sidebar, and a dictionary. oh, and don't forget the product registration and mynetscape account setup. You can bypass the registration, but the myNetscape portal is a nice addition to the browser if only to backup bookmarks and adress book.
I'd say if you get a new idea, you have one week to exploit it and then it's public domain.

besides writing my congressman, I see civil disobediance as the best way to resist this. I don't have the time or resources to loby congress because I have to make a living and barely do that well.

well it seems like it'd be a real big tremptation to watch a forum all day and not interject something randomly to stir the coals... how about it, has it ever happend here?
no, I like free stuff, but I also want CHOICE. MS has the ability to raise the bar for anyone wanting to enter the browser market. Or any other market for that matter by investing tons of cash and taking a loss which is how they destroy competition. The Browser is the least of my concerns, it's more the way that they design tools that will only work with other MS tools although standards they supposedly adhere to should make these tools work with any OS or Browser.
If browsers were still $40, then we'd likely have a bunch of good ones to pick from. The power needs to be returned to the people, and removed from the Corporation. imposing a fine on MS only drains their wallet, but doesn't remove the monopoly power that they have. Taking that fine and doing something to counteract the monopoly power, that has the potential to restore the power to the consumers. As it stands now, end users have very little choice when buying a new PC, it comes with windows, and is only supported if it still runs windows. the big question in my mind is "how to disperse the funds?"

and I'm on @home's network. I like the program 'etherape' to sit and watch the requests come in and then browse to the IP's to see JoeBlow's homepage. really, do these home users PAY for IIS? of course not, would you? If you're going to use software free, use free software!!! I can't imagine that anyone who administers servers for a living hasn't already patched againts this. Thus I think most of this Code Red comes from home users windows boxes with pirated software. I wish MS did pursure those people because we'd have a whole lot more Linux users if that was the case. ( I guess that's why they don't)
a note to IIS users:/etc/httpd.conf it's not really that hard.
if it's determined that a LARGE FINE be imposed rather than a breakup, it's likely to be well more that a billion dollars in my humble estimations. Like any other crime, it can't really be undone, and how do you measure the damage done to the industry and more importantly, the consumer?
I think this money should be diverted to open software to prevent any company from being able to monopolize the software industry going forward. Do we get enough cash so all those developers whove contributed to Linux/GNU so far can quit their day jobs and hack the good hack full time? Or do we push open source into schools training teachers and funding an educational system based on freely available source code? (hey work done at unikversities often becomes their sellable property, work from public schools could go back to the public).... What's the remedy, is it tap 10 Billion dollars from MS and if so, what's to be done with that cash?
for providing devices that allow a regular consumer to go beyond the legal speed limit.
If I buy copyrighted material, and am allowed fair use, why can't I decrypt it so I can use XPDF to view the files on my Linux computer(do we have ebook readers yet?)? and if that would be OK, then why can't someone give me a tool that helps me view my files?
if he was redistributin copyrighted ebooks, that's one thing, but a tool to manipulate information can never be a crime. Publishers should be GRATTEFUL to find out now about this weakness in security before they have invested more in distributing under this format.
* Microsoft removed the Java environment from XP, thereby breaking thousands of Web sites that use Java. XP customers will face endless downloads to replace the functionality they'd come to expect.
and passport to get updates:
* Microsoft will force XP users to sign up for its Passport authentication system if they want to use key XP features. This is a dagger aimed at all kinds of other businesses, and despite Microsoft's claims to the contrary it represents a potentially massive threat to customers' security and privacy.
and MS Signed software
* Microsoft has added ''code-signing'' measures -- verification, supposedly, that downloads will be safe -- that could scare customers away from using software that competes with Microsoft's offerings.
most folks don't have broadband, they have to download for a LONG TIME to get java, furthermore, will they be able to without a passport? How about being able to verify a MS Signed package without a Passport? If I write a great JAVA VM in my spare time (well not me but somebody could) how much would it cost for MS's stamp of good/safe software ? Who controls where IE goes for JAVA? MS does. get a new pc, open website with JAVA in it, Visit Windows Update to have your system registered, passport assigned, and Hardware/software scanned and indexed by the evil empire!!!!!

do you want to be the guy standing over the baby bills making sure they're playing fair? just because they're "seperate" won't keep them from scheming to take over the world.
