Actually they can still sue you. After all it was your internet connection that was being used. You would then have the option to track down the culprits and sue them for using your connection.
Come on, it's just a sales system. It's not like the onboard computer is running linux. I wouldn't base a car/truck purchase based on their sales sytem.
Any bets on how long it will be before script kiddies (and other unsavory characters) start recording, disconnecting, cutting into, and otherwise interfering with telephone calls for fun?
The script kiddies won't be doing any of that until the real phone phreakers do it and publish their findings.
But seriously folks gun control is this issue here, not video games, or movies, or the sulky, moody, violent, careless, callous and fundamentally stupid nature of teenage boys.
America has a lot of such boys and a lot of guns. Together they'll cause deaths. They'll never be rid of the boys so they'll have to do something about the guns.
Well, if they did it like Canada is trying to do, then the kids could have been flagged before this could happen. Get and address for every gun in the country, then link it against everyone who has GTA. Send out the mob and take away the guns.
Personally, i would like to see the owner of the weapon brought up on some sort of charges too. Trigger locks? Why are kids shooting with out supervision?
Any type of medium is good for backup. Just factor the possible costs and hopefully they fall within your budget and needs.
Since your backup is 128meg, you should factor a backup medium that has some room to grow. What do you do if one night your working late and your backup is 135meg? Skip it and wait for the next day to buy another key? So lets up your USB key to 256meg.
CDRW's, lets say they fail every 20 uses. 365 days a year, 20 uses per disc. That will be ~19 discs per year. @ $40 per 25 pack. $40 per year.
USB Flash, Lets say you go through 1 a year. @ $190 per 256meg of storage. $190 per year.
Now, it is quite possible that the USB key will last longer than a year. So your purchase can be spread over a number of years. After a few years the cost difference will even out. But there is a downside. What if you loose or break the USB key. What happens then? Your fuxored, plain and simple. At least with the CDRW's you have the previous disc to fall back on for historical data if you rotate the disc's before they phisically fail.
You can even use a new CD-R everyday and keep the daily disks for historical protection for just a little bit more than a USB flash key.
But it all depends on what you are looking for in a backup, temporary daily backup that is gone a day later, or an actual backup with historical protection.
A fellow i used to work with would put the phone in their desk drawer and then lock it. (he was pretty good at picking desk locks) It was always funny to find out that no one had keys.
I don't remember if he had a g,i or an s model of the V60. Maybe they are all bad. He also occasionaly gets unreadable text messages that are only a character or two. Funny thing is, he doesn't subscribe to the text message stuff.
I hope it works better than my buddies V60. His randomly erases his address book. He has been told he needs to send it to motorolla for an update, this will be the 2nd or 3rd time it has had to be sent back.
God, how i hate this... In my office, mostly consisted of CAD users, we use the space bar and the enter key alot while we are working. 95% of those net send messages just get click off the screen instantly while we are working and most people don't even notice it.
I wouldn't personally put the OS swapfile on the Flash disk. Just up the RAM in your system and use it instead if you really need to. If you treat your USB memory stick just like a CDROM live system then it will last almost forever. (for example, don't put Windows98 on it) Look at the RAM bootable mini/live CD distros out there. Loopslack, Knoppix etc...
Some of the USB memory sticks i've seen have up to a million erase cycles. I'd bet it would last longer than a floppy disk would if put through a daily working environment.
Well, if you are in Excel, you can use your scroll wheel to go from side to side. Position your mouse over the horizontal scroll bar and scroll away. Notice which way it goes...
As funny as this is, it's also just plain wrong at the same time.
If Linksys gets sued and then somehow goes out of buisiness or closes up shop regarding Accesss points and linux, then who's gonna make all the neat hardware for geeks to play around with while installing their own linux to it?

Do they search other patent systems outside of their jurisdictions?
To bad the BBC doesn't have a comment section so people can start typing 'DUPE!'

The supported windows drivers crash XP hard. All i can get out of D-link tech support is to try different PCI slots. (if only they knew)
I thought it was funny that the 3rd party unsupported drivers (madwifi) work better than the supported ones.

When more people have the parts that you don't have then it will get faster.

Only if you support and show all the new users how to use it.
Somehow i doubt that. What do they care if you don't patch/update your system? They already have your money.
you are not supposed to drink the bong water

No, i am not missing the point. All i did was point out that one could use the scroll wheel in a horizontal method if one was using Excel.
