the FCC has specifications of radiation density versus frequency that are limits in their rulebooks, limits used to isolate access to radio facilities from microwaves to commercial broadcasters... to ham radio operators burning electrons in the basement. these have been codified by medical research. if you're going for an advanced ham license, you have to study the milliwatts per meter limits, the question occasionally comes up on the test.
so there are 3/4 million americans who know this, not just ten academics in the tower.
where the hell did this whining of Luddites come from, and why wasn't it left there?
you have folks designing a roadblock into the process of decoding media, that doesn't always work, that is not supported on any of the minority OS... and they wonder why other folks keep cracking it?
you think maybe somebody out there in MogulLand would look at the swirling Warez underground, and for once think maybe, "geez, the free market says we are bumbling goons?"
apparently it only happens in Britain, where somebody at Electric Music Industries Ltd. woke up sober and straight one morning...
if you want federal employment, fingerprinting is standard, has been for decades. "pee in a bottle" is required practically anyplace they pay more than minimum wage, and you do anything more than dot the burgers with ketchup and place three pickle chips.
with all the hue and cry about sex criminals, fingerprinting will be standard pretty much across the board, and I expect that DNA checks will become common as there are more labs established and state registries of criminals get pieced together.
every body protein has irregularities, and now you are going to invite the body to start attacking the fake blood. get out occam's razor and start slicing your theory...
but wrong answer for it. the disaster plan should include backup for key people and assume responsibility for their dependents, so the key people give a schytte about what they're doing and have an out for the whole family from the (hopefully local) disaster.
it's incumbent on manglement to have useful plans, and you should help make what they have useful. shift the end focus and present it to them.
the only thing I would think the candidates would want to try and prevent is moving the words around to make 'em say anything at all. kind of like Chef's last appearance on South Park.
on the other hand, that's where all the fun is in the debates.
why DON'T we have a plaintext list of magic operations and file stuff that an installer wants to do before we have to click or log into higher permissions?
seems there used to be such a thing, even in windows OS install.
instead, what we have is Freakin' Registry Magic and 99 screens of an EULA from Hell, only the last lines of which mean anything.
way back before the dawn of time, because until we got this there were no on-screen clocks, back around Windows 3.1 way, you had config files in which mostly, the Magic Options were close enough to some native human language so you could Edit The Config Files. something still reputed to exist in the -IX world, although not necessarily clearer than the dreadful Registry. Installers often told you what they were doing.
we need to go back to 1990 with our interfaces and commons areas, and back to some sort of license statement on the order of "We own it, you rent it for one machine, don't go poking about under the covers or we'll bite you."
a guy named Tesla. you have a half-million volts running around the place, it doesn't take much of an antenna for induced voltage to hot up any circuit in the area.
not to mention, you can't pull big-ass arcs with a pencil off anything metal when you're near that little charge-o-pad, can you?
entertainment worth a few semiconductor junctions;)
this is a device intended for geeks and hipsters. you listening, ATT wireless? geeks and hipsters.
they don't wear wing tips and hold offsites at the golf course and discuss their stock options.
ATT is making the fatal assumption of assuming if they have an expensive geegaw, sell it where expense is no object... upper manglement of large corporations for "business use."
and that means lifetime. if BigCo has enough data in their files to mess up somebody's credit, they pay for all damages, correcting the files, and for the life of the person, for every instance where impaired credit causes harm, pay for it.
some weasel steals your ID and you lose the house you're trying to buy? BigCo buys you a house, free and clear.
can't get that zero-percent car loan? BigCo pays for the car in cash and hands you the keys.
then and only then will companies get serious about how much stuff they keep on customers, and how they tie it down safely.
don't know, frankly, I'm a fan of the old CO-powered wireline myself, haven't checked voip out in detail for myself. but you can check the websites and see. lots of options out there, and outfits that have a different network than vonage did could well have lower rates.

not a pretty sight, is it?

and tell them that Microsoft made them NOT-WORKS.
:-D
it'll get fixed

deal, it's the world now.
and they don't license it, either.

attacking my vinyl gutters and screaming, "plastic! PLASSSTIC! we must have plasssticcc!!!"
threw 'em a floppy and shut the window.
not exactly IT, where compile errors eat your sanity ;). I do get a fair amount of enjoyment out of doing my own remodelling and car repair.

it will be a pleasure to not be forced to sit through the movies, Warners.
how 'bout you pay me to stay home, that's the next step...

which just by coincidence only Sony happens to make, for triple market prices.
and statements like glickman's cheapen it even further every day
the only way to look at vista is DOWN...
it's well-known that black walnut trees make sure they have less competition for water and nutrients by leaching poison out their roots.
so why didn't anybody think to check the ground around yew trees earlier for taxol?
moral: everybody fouls their nest. expect it. what, you never heard of an alpha geek who got fired for being the alpha?
they're busy right now determining the safe level of melamine powder for use in bread flour.
that ought to be good for approximately 250 equivalents of college scholarships for officials' kids.

and screw 'em. if they want to exclude customers, they don't get my clicks and real green money.
and while you're at it, file as "O. BinLaden."
talcum powder and grease, oh my. you'll be on the evening news in six countries, live by satellite.

go ahead, call for Qwest One-Flex, Asterisk, Speakeasy, whomever. I'm sure they'll transfer your number.
it's not like Vonage customers will never be able to use a phone again in their lives....
