Although I'm not advocating full anonymity for everything internet, I would like some of the anonymity that PPP gave the user when browsing given to broadband services like cable. It's getting too easy for a web site to track a person using IP address alone because the IP address is too static.
The limited anonymity was just a lucky artifact of PPP, because the IP address issued during login, but the effect was beneficial for the user.

EULA In Games
·
· Score: 1
I believe software companies that use EULA's are casting the legal net very wide, just so they don't limit their options.
The goal of the EULA is two fold:
If you do something they don't like, they want to keep the option of suing
you open.
They want to limit their liability if you decide to sue them.
If you are a consumer (businesses have a harder time getting out of an adhesion contract clause), act in a reasonable manner (ie, respect
the copyright), I believe that they would have a very hard time getting a court to enforce much of the nonsense clauses in a EULA.
Continuing the established way of thinking, this article bashes Netscape and implies is that it is Netscape's fault that because it is way more than a day late and a dollar short. It insinuates this is the reason that it is loosing the battle of percentages.
Please don't forget how hard is to convince the average guy or gal to take the time and effort to download a 30Meg file, and install it, when the current browser s/he has works well enough.
Netscape was steam rolled because it didn't have a critical advantage a certain operating system company had. Even battered, bruised, business model in shatters, and under new management, netscape is still in there scraping. I say, more
power to them, because modzilla.org (with much help from Netscape) _is_ now winning the battle the best browser.
I use @Home in Calgary too, and for the most part service has been excellent. @home is not as homogenous as it first appears. I was talking to a tech just now about lost email problems. He is really a shaw employee not @home. He was very good.
According to this Toronto Star story , soon Shaw customers will be able to get Shaw email address and thus bypass their (notoriously flaky) @home email address.
It looks like shaw is as sick of @home as I am. What I take away from this, (and I can't believe im saying this) is that some cable/ISP's do care about customers. It's the fuzzy excite@home behemoth that is getting in the way.
I love it, not only does it run linux but it is designed for south paws who write like Leonardo da Vinci. They may be limiting themselves to a niche market but im going to get one. (I think i will unsolder and flip the connections on my CRT windings just to be ready for when they finally release this).
Actually the cube was developed much earlier than this, at a place called parc plato and was extensively studied there. Unfortunately due to the shortsightedness of upper management, which didn't see far enough into the future to see the value of packaging this powerful design as a computer case, the opportunity was lost. PARC yielded an astonishing volume of groundbreaking polyhedron innovations, and was decades and decades and decades before the the importance innovations was fully realized.

I guess that would mean that the XBox runs linux by emulation.
