The ironic thing is these kids did nothing wrong, their parents did, further more if they had been born in the US, even their parents status wouldn't matter because they'd be US citizens, natural born
I don't really understand your point, and I'm not sure what you think the internet is, but all of it is owned, over here mostly by private companies, else where by governmental units. The policies often change from country to country. In the US Domain anybody anywhere can get a.com, try doing that in Canada, will not happen, they do things their way, we do thing ours, and what the.US and.CA or even.UK does has anything to do with ICANN, they mostly hand out IP numbers. Even your ISP doesn't deal with them to often.
An international network? my driveway, connects to a government built street, which connects to an US interstate, which connects to a Canadian Hiway you can hop a ferry from alaska to Russia, to your door; does that make my driveway an international network too?
I don't want the UN governing the internet, anymore than I want Anybody goeverning the internet.
which uucp which: no uucp in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/mozilla/bin:/opt/qt/bin)
Oh shit we're in trouble.. No actualy what would be needed is the old internet, where computer connected to each other periodicaly, sent a batch of traffic and disconnected, might take 3 or 4 days for a email to work its way from sender to reciever.
We have most of the basic tools, a little modification, a few glue scripts. a kind of dynamic DNS, routing into and outof relays that may or may not be operating is more similar to the old way than the new.
I did get the feeling that the biggest problem with the present system is two-fold,
first the present IPv4 system is a mess and it's impossible to easily tell where packets are originating from and terminating at, just ask google how hard it's to keep french traffic legal with out realy being able to tell who french. If there was a rational and systematic way with IPv6, then let's say the problem of knowing where the PM's daughter can surf and there the serf's daughter can surf would be trivial.
Secondly it's the american's fault that the bastards at ICANN are bastards that nobody likes, so lets replace them with different bastards that nobody will like.
I didn't know that word could do that, I know it tries like hell, but never seen it actualy do it. All my copy seems to be able to do is make a page where it appears the the edges are justified, but there are huge gaps in the middle of the lines between words, looks like shit. I always supposed that's why nobody who uses word, used fully-justified. In LaTeX you occasionaly might have to change the wording of a sentence to get it to format correctly, with word its every sentence; so I do prefer LaTeX. Of course I've done enough programming so my head gets the edit/compile/test paradigm; and chokes on the sticky/GUI WYSIWYG paradigm. I tend to want to chuck a word processor when a document hits about three pages in favor of LaTeX
Not to mention after a hundred hours of programming and testing and integrating, the change the API without warning, well actualy the warnings went out a mounth before you signed up.
I wouldn't recomend keeping more than a specific amount in any non-interest bearing account. My cut-off would be not more than enough to keep thing running for 5 weeks. The account used for any transaction processor would be used only for that, once you have a handle on what to expect in charge-backs, fees, including the one that "sneak in", make a policy and stick to it, don't let the account creep over or under that amount. The Normal checking account should probabley in a different bank. A good accountant is extremely helpfull in setting up your cash accounts, advising on setting balance policies for each accounts and other financial analysis.
The resistance goes up, and if your on a system that high freq it can cause a slight amount of reflected power which can cause problems in the 500 MHz and up range. In audio its meaningless, stray air currents is going to distort the speaker cone travel far more than any microMeter phase shift in the signal will.
An other thing that people forget is that gold, silver and copper are all soft metals, where they touch, there is going to be diffusion bonding between the two conductors creating a gas tight seal against further corrosion.
The old wire-wrap technics used the effect when connecting the wire to the post. The square posts were made out of a hard metal and gold plated, the wire was copper that was silver plated copper. When the wire was tightly wrapped arround the post, it edges of the post cut into the wire. After the wire and post were in contact for a while, the diffusion of the metals sealed the bond because the gold and the silver alloyed. After a couple weeks, if you took the connection appart, you could feel that it was noticable tighter than a new connection would be.
If your still worried about a silver connector corrosion affecting signal quality, I'd say just Wipe a little WD-40 on them because if your that anal about the connectors, you'd probably enjoy fidgeting with them every week or so anyways.
So far only one person has posted an example of this being done, and it wasn't, an example the first time I check, in fact the example ranked 1st the first time, 2nd the second time and 1st the third time so appearently google's result page rank changes by the minute. My best guess is the "severity" of the problem is mainly an Urban Myth amongst search engine spammers sort of like the good old "Bic butane lighter + welder spark = 15KT explosion". The other funny thing is that all of the supposed 302er sites on google have an actual clickable link to the complainers site. It appears that he is basicaly complaining that his paid advertiser's are getting a higher page rank on google than the page he's paid them to advertise is
your sir are an obvious troll, the first link points to slashdot.org/imatrix.com which of course returns a slashdot 404 error page, and the google.com search link returns the imatrix.com websites link rated number one, and a bunch of placeholder sites below it so how does this demonstrate any harm in imatrix.com's page ranking? come on Mods, at least read the post, and Check the links before you mod up something as informative
in many places only works during office hours(!!) The impression I got from the article was that was possibly the case when they could not determin which phone number actualy connected to the PSAP, Public Safety Answering Points, which means the real telephone number for a 911 service is unlisted, and they might accidently connect you to an office that is not staffed 24/7.
I'd guess that OnStar, has the same problem, and it may take them a couple tries to get connected to some of the PSAPs.
I sqw on television where on deputy was compalining that he patroled,by himself an area the size of the state on Rhode Isaland.
I once was assembling some, made in china, some assembly required thing and the directions actualy said, "put together till looks like picture" and of course the picture was glued to the front of the inner shipping box.
Maybe Vonage could say that they warned everybody to read thier instruction by air their "people do stupid things" series of commercials where they demonstrate how people get hurt,maimed or killed by doing things the manufacturer obviously warned them not to do.
Not necessarily, there are such things as tests and accidents, is that button really program to dial 911 at the touch of a button? How about a replacement phone that had been used in an other office that had an unlabled button programed for 911 is that accident a crime.
We've had our local EMS come out to our facility to physicaly make sure they could navigate a strecher in our building. If OSHA requires us to have an effective emergency plan, how can we establish that our plan is effective without testing?
What I think is sad is 1. Houston Police department keeps the phone number that 911 calls are forwarded to secret, 2. That the central office for the phone company in Houston make it artificialy difficult for VoIP provider's to tap into the traditional 911 system that they let the cellular provider's in.
When I look up the police department of my town, the phone number listed in the phone book is answered by the same people that answer when I dial 911, actualy the same people that answer for city police and fire, county sheriff, regonal EMS, and the branch office of the state police! With this system, I would just have to let vonage know my physical location and my 911 calls automaticaly go to the right place.
Actualy I'm not that worried about it anyways. Around here half the time you dial 911 on a cell phone you get connect to Canadians in Sarnia/Lambton county rather than Americans Port Huron/St. Clair county and Vica Versa so the lads have gotten pretty good at cross-boarder dispaching.
We used to partion drive so the swap was in the middle, the next two most likely to be used next to the swap, and unlikely to be used on the outside. I don't think you can do that now as cylinders have so little to do with physical location on the platters now-a-days.
Shit now a disk drives has a bigger ram buffer cache than the machines we used to do that with have. the rule of thumb was 4 Mb for linux, 4 Mb for X Windows and 4Mb for each user; now we just slap in a half gig and call it good enough.
I did see a site where the guy ripped apart old hard disks and hooked them up to his stereo so the platters would spin and the heads twitch back and forth to the beat of the music. interesting thing to do to those old sub-Gigabyte drives in every computer geek's junk drawer!
I think there is a strong implication that UK has a greater percentage of their PCs on a broadband connection than the US has, and therefore UK computers are more desirable for 'bot networks. The numbers would probably be the same if they compared 0wned machines per broadband connection in both countries, and very different when compared as 0wned Computers per total computers.
That's about like shooting out the tires of someone that didn't know the speed limit and went over 5MPH.. no its more like sending an error message, with a copy of the message that caused the original error, something that the Email protocol includes and expects.
It once took me 20 minutes on the phone with AOL to get their tech support to both get them to understand what blocking outbound port 25 traffic meant and admit that they actualy do it. Only then did my clueless boss believe that we couldn't send email through our website using AOL.
Now I wager that the practice is much more wide-spread.
ActiveX has horrendous security implications. I'm not sure if there is anything that you can do in ActiveX, that you couldn't do in Java, After you turned off all of it's security features.
I once had an interesting conversation with a guy on parole for 2nd degree murder, I asked in general, how many people in prison did what they were convicted of. He said 25% are innocent, 25% are guilty and 50% are guilty of a crime similar to had they are in for, but not the actual crime. Of course to accept parole you have to "accept responsibility" for your crime that means admit guilt, and of course you have to admit guilt to get a charge reduce or a promise of a less extreme sentence. A while ago I was selected for jury duty, and got to see some cases sentenced on a bargined plea, the accused now has to testify against himself in order to plead guilty in Michigan.
It operates in a licensed part of the RF spectrum; if operate this in that portion of the spectrum without a license, the FCC can and has fined people $10,000.00.
Released: February 26, 2004 By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Enforcement Bureau:
I. INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), we find that Best Wok has apparently violated Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act").[1] The violation occurred because Best Wok operated radio transmitting equipment on the frequency 145.8376 MHz without a license issued by the FCC. We conclude that Best Wok is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000)....
At 11:30 a.m. on February 28, 2003, the agent entered Best Wok and inspected the radio transmitting equipment in the presence of the restaurant manager, Sae C. Hauwo. The agent found that Best Wok was operating a long-distance cordless telephone system. The system was comprised of a base unit that was located under the counter of the restaurant and a mobile unit that was in Hauwo's vehicle. There were no identifying markings on the mobile unit, but the base unit was marked with the Model Number GSM WLT-988. The FCC agent used frequency-measuring equipment to determine that the base unit actually operated on the frequency 145.8376 MHz and not the frequency 145.835 MHz as specified in the complaints. Hauwo stated that he installed the long-range cordless telephone system so that his employees could answer customers' telephone calls while making deliveries in their vehicles. Hauwo stated that he purchased the long-range cordless telephone system in another country and brought it into the United States to operate at the restaurant.
You need to be very careful when purchasing RF equipment outside the US; that it's legal inside the US. A mistake can be expensive!

I'd learn english but I'm having a bit of a problem finding a concise formal description of it. Google seems to to be able to find anything like it.
