You can take part in the settlement because everyone gets an additional year of full warranty and an additional 6 months beyond that for the problematic components. I have a 6100 Pro sitting on the shelf because the first repair broke down after my warranty expired. Having the new year will allow me to get the unit fixed for free.
After almost 10 years of Slashdot usage, this is the first time I've sought to search Slashdot for an answer instead of Google, Yahoo, etc. I was not disappointed.
However, they are using California area codes and California billing addresses, so it's pretty realistic to mandate a California telephone operator's license.
Hmmm. Given the expansion of long-distance included cellular, VoIP, and POTS services, seems like a web site with a break-down of state regulated charges would be a useful resource. Since Vonage lets me pick a phone number anywhere, I'd expect them to only pass along the regulatory fees from the state where the number 'resides'. I'll just pick the state with the lowest charges.
Could some of you using their service describe your experience? Is there any lag, specillay on international phone calls?
I've been using Vonage for about 8 months now. I have 3 voice lines and a fax line. Their service has, for the most part, been excellent. I did have a problem with forwarded calls for a day or so which took several phone calls to resolve.
Call quality has been excellent with no lag in the US and to Canada. My step-daughter has used the line to call her fiance in Japan with mixed success. Many times the calls simply did not go through.
Does Thunderbird bounce mail? Unfortunately, I have no clue what bouncing mail means, although it has something to do with stopping spam with SpamAssassin. My brother says he'll only switch from Eudora as soon as it can bounce email.
That is a feature I had in PMMail from the OS/2 days that I miss. In PMMail (and, for that matter, elm) you can bounce an Email that has been sent to you that really should have been sent to someone else. Rather than forwarding the Email, you can bounce the Email (resend the Email as though it was originally to the new addressee) and get yourself out of the communication loop that usually occurs when you forward a message.
There is a production webserver written in ProvideX (a Business Basic dialect). It's been around for 4-5 years. I use it for my Kevin & Kell website.
The main index.phtml page looks like:
master=hfn open (master)"file" first_strip$=kef(master) today=jul(0,0,0) last_strip$=dte(today:"%Yl%Mz%Dz") if len(current$)=0 or current$>dte(today:"%Yl%Mz%Dz") { current$=dte(today:"%Yl%Mz%Dz") } get_desc: read (master,key=current$,dom=*next)*,kkdesc$; goto GOT_DATE [...]
I think Kazaa needs to take another angle. Start asking doctors to prescribe music. Acquiring the music becomes a medical act. The new HIPAA regulations gives the user extraordinary rights to protect their privacy -- Kazaa and any other provider of medical services would be obligated by law to not turn over information about their users.
Absolutely - the Basic Four machines and their competitors in the early 80s (Rexon, Pertec, etc) all had a Business Basic as the interpreter/OS. Everything you did on the machine was done through Business Basic.
FWIW, the language still lives - see The Business Basic Page
Today's Kevin & Kell ( http://www.herdthinners.com/kk990511.html if you don't see this 'today') is the first instance of an eBay mention I've seen in a comic strip - it captures the mentality of the eBay community nicely though.

As I work daily in BBx (still), a Business Basic interpreter, I too wonder what the big deal is.

So how good was GeCAD's anti-virus app?
I used GeCAD's RAVAntivirus under Linux for 2-3 years. It was a good product.

Why don't they just raise prices instead of charging a separate fee.
At the same time they also lowered prices for some of their plans by as much as $5/month.

The only problem, at least in my area, is that without a local phone line you can't get DSL.
I'm a happy Vonage customer with 3 voice lines, 3 fax lines and a nice cable modem connection.

Kevin and Kell creator Bill Holbrook still has mainstream strips running; On The Fastrack and Safe Havens.
I believe the number of people we're not counting too be much higher now than in the past... this skews these numbers horribly.
Historically, the numbers have been calculated pretty much the same way. 6% then is the same as 6% now.

Kevin & Kell just celebrated it's 7th birthday last month - online since September 3rd, 1995.
