Exactly....that is what was done with Electricity and Telephone when those technologies first arrived....otherwise, those services would be as spotty as DSL/Cable currently is....
Yea that's fine, but after 14 days (pertaining to computer related items) or 30 days (everything else), you will have to deal with the manufacturer DIRECTLY (calling someone, mailing it in, etc...). Best Buy will not touch it after their return period has expired UNLESS you buy their product service plan...
'Microsoft certainly respects the work CERT does to help protect the Internet and users. Regarding the consideration that users switch browsers, it is unfortunate that the published articles have misrepresented CERT's suggestions, and we are working with CERT to clarify their advice,' Schare said.
In other words, M$ is saying CERT should retract the statement or else. Bet there already have been some nasty letters sent their way on law office letterhead...
Running swimmingly on my system....upgrade ran without a hitch....

No kidding....I can read it now.... 'About the time I hit 95 km altitude, I fired up my favorite sniffer program and found 30,000 APs in Southern Cal ALONE, not to mention Las Vegas, Nevada, & Albuquerque(sp), New Mexico. Was kinda hard keeping the pringles can pointed at a precise area due to my velocity....'
Hadn't anyone learned from the Divx (the disc format, not the software) fiasco yet? There would be a HUGE resistance and lobbying effort by Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Et.al... This would shut down a huge revenue stream for the studios...idiots...
You can try the flash of lights here in America, but most of the time, the guy will start driving while looking in the rear view mirror at you, cussing you out and yelling 'Get off my a**!!' They think it is their God-given right to drive slow and think they have a right to make you slow down......
Not to mention the mechanical computers on WWII battleships used to aim the big 17 inch guns. Actually were still in use (claimed they worked just as well as any modern electronic computer), in the 90's until the ships were decommissioned once again (or are they still in action?)
Would be fun to take out the the Bonneville salt flats for some runs, but would have to get some airplane tires and work on the aerodynamics to get some downforce....
....."This is only a temporary fix. If they're blocking specific IP addresses, then the scammers will start using proxies. I suppose they could also start blocking anything from a proxy server, but there might be legitimate deaf people using Anonymizer or similar service that would no longer be able to get through.".....
Or the scammers will use zombie machines like the spammers do mostly now.....
Most software is either licensed on a 'per seat' or 'per processor' basis. This setup would get around the 'per processor' deal, but 'per seat' might be interesting to see how that would pan out.....
I work part time at a local Best Buy running a front register and CDs fly off the shelves at a real good clip. Almost every person coming thru has at least 1 CD with them. If CD sales are slowing down, I don't see it...
Things I liked about Dish Network.
1. Picture quality was generally better than the cable in my area (Cox).
2. Dish was still working when an icestorm took out the local cable system. Only had to go out once and lightly tap the feedhorn with a broom handle to remove ice accumulation.
3. Better channel selection.
4. PPV easier to use.
Things I disliked about Dish Network.
1. Upfront cost of equipment (unless you have good credit and can get a system for free if they have a special going).
2. Have to have a separate receiver for each TV if each TV wants to watch a different channel.
3. No locals available (that has now changed in my area - and it happened right after I moved and sold my equipment...sheesh).
4. You DO lose signal during very heavy rain (mainly thunderstorms...normal rain showers will not affect it if the dish is pointed properly).
5. Have to mount the dish itself and run the cables, unless you spend money and hire someone for install.
6. Have to deal with a national call-center instead of a local office when problems (mainly billing - but few problems occurred nonetheless) arise.
Things I like about Cable.
1. No big upfront cost.
2. No need for separate receivers for each TV, unless you get digital cable, which I don't have.
3. Got locals and network channels on same service (available on DISH as well in most markets).
4. Wire all rooms and connect them to a single splitter outside.
5. Local office to deal with when problems arise.
Things I don't like about cable.
1. During storms, outages occur which can affect entire town or neighborhood.
2. Less channel choices
3. Typically higher rates than Dish for the same programming (at least in my area).
Allowing it to install for the DDoS capability would be debateable, depending on what side of the SCO argument you may be on, but personally I wouldn't want the back door trojan that also installs on your machine at the same time....
I have a 15 year old son and the best advice I have given him concerning our home computer is similar to the old anti-drug commercials...'Just say No' when asked to install something. Has worked wonders. If he has a question about something, he asks me or phones me....wish most other clueless ID10T users would follow same advices....world would be a better place...

Gosh...where are my mod points when I want them??? I would have modded you up (Insightful). I agree totally....

That's just it....most people (except folks who frequent this site) DO have the computer knowledge of a 4 year old .... and some not even that!
Besides, they may feel funny if they get charged with destruction of government property.
