  1. Re:TERRORIST!!! on FCC Allows Bells to Sell Your Telephone Usage Data · · Score: 1

    Actually I use it because it offers more features and also is easier, why should I have to leave my desktop to make a call? The phone is sooo old fashioned :D

    So, by your analogy, people driving yellow BMWs with custom plates wearing gold necklaces are also drug dealers :D

  2. Re:Be so kind as to provide details? on FCC Allows Bells to Sell Your Telephone Usage Data · · Score: 1

    I also use Voice/Video over IM (MSN, Yahell, etc) mostly. If I can, I use netmeeting for video for a direct machine to machine link.

    The days of the landline are slowly being replaced by the internet (Instant Messaging).

  3. Re:Be so kind as to provide details? on FCC Allows Bells to Sell Your Telephone Usage Data · · Score: 1

    Incomming calls to my pre-pay mobile.

    It costs me nothing for incomming calls.
    I use the mobile if I cannot use Voice over IP.

    All long distance calls nowdays from landlines use Voice over IP so they can give cheaper rates.

  4. Easy to get around (for now) on FCC Allows Bells to Sell Your Telephone Usage Data · · Score: 1

    Im glad I dont use land lines no more :D

    I use VoIP from many free web services (if they charge, I move to the next :D).

    I no longer have my landline, prepay mobile only(unlisted and not registered to my name etc) Totally anonymous.

  10. Capacity or speed? on One Terabyte On a 12-inch^H^H^H^Hcm Disk · · Score: 1

    Solid state storage I want for speed, sure optical disc's are great for capacity at the expense of speed.

    Ok, I have a compromise, solid state optical storage.

    Shouldnt be too hard, I mean, Star Trek and co have been doing it for years.

    I get their location (for the non faked emails) and mail their ISP point of contact with the mail, pictures etc.

    Nowdays they are FAKING emails to be from YOU to YOU. Alot are faking or creating yahoo emails so you cant block yahoo.com or u block ur friends. Some are using MSN Member services as a fake.

    Simple, BLOCK EVERYTHING except those on an OK list (buddy lists etc).

    Out of interest, is there such a map like a demographic map, but in this case, a DATAgraphic map showing data connections and speeds etc.

    One with the entire world, and where you can view specific regions?

  17. Ratings on Net-Nexus Seoul · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "The government has even set up a certification program to rate buildings based on the quality of their data lines"

    Where I am all appartments are cable ready, you dont need to ask. Next will be the trains, planes, etc...

    Elsewhere (UK *COUGH*), its a joke, if they had data ratings built into the prices of accomodation then maybe more rollout would be done. After all you want the largest price for accomodation right?

    I can imagine me asking a landlord in the UK "Is it cable ready", he would laugh at me. Here, they say "Dont be stupid, ofcourse it is".
