I would just like to comment on the score a moderater decided to give me for the comment above this entitled "stupid thiefs." I was rated a 0 with an Off Topic explanation in which I believe I was unfairly judged, let me explain.
If you read the referenced article, in particular this excerpt:
"Cyber criminals are like idiot Hansel and Gretels, scattering electronic breadcrumbs that lead straight to them," said retired New York City detective Pete Angonasta. "You just don't see this sort of behavior in other criminals. I've never seen a burglar leaving cute notes crediting the crime to himself. And I've never run across a burglar who puts up a self-promotional website or goes into a chat room to discuss the night's activities."
You will see I was merely expanding on this topic by offering other links where people can read about other stupid criminals, as stated in the article.
I'm a avid Microsoft user. I use Microsoft at work and at home, although I do have an installation of Red Hat.
Microsoft has revolutionized the computer industry, and for that I thank you. They have the software and os industry by the neck, without Microsoft products we would seize to function. With the new introduction of XP, new anti-copying functions, MSN and the ever popular Passport they gather information about us that we wouldn't even know we had. But at what point do you say hold on Big Brother? My privacy is being challenged everday when I hit the internet. Why then does it have to be bastardized when i'm surfing the Tube?
Is microsoft installing cameras in the XBox to figure what genre of people are playing and what games are being played the longest? Give me a break, it's riduculus?
Here's a toy for all of you mp3 freaks, Harman Kardon has a new computer-to-home audio link that connects your mp3 collection to your home reciever. They boast about allowing you to browse your mp3 collection and play it from your home stereo system. This might be on my Christmas list!
"I mean, as it is, people are waiting months to get DSL installs, so obviously there's enough of a demand for the service."
Just because the wait time for a residential or even a business user is over a month is not because of the demand of the product. It's due to the fact that you have a process to setup your connection that involves many third parties, and getting everyone to communicate is the bottleneck.
When you call your ISP to get DSL installed, they have to contact your local telco to create a circuit at your CO. That process of getting your telco to create the circuit is what's so time consuming. Then a contracter is called out to test the lines and set up the circuit at your location. There are many steps to setting it up, it actually takes 3 to 6 weeks even if no one else is signing up.
