You can already use AIM with ICQ users or ICQ with AIM users, since Time Warner owns both. So the only issue is having Yahoo and MSN integrated with ICQ or an ICQ-like alternative.
Until ICQ disallows other clients and they haven't in many years (how long has micq been around?) AIM shouldn't be a concern.
The rest of the email quoted in this article actually introduces the lower prices. I received it yesterday morning.
Really, it's $1.50 charge, but they lowered the plan charges by $1-$5
So my phone bill was raised by 50 cents. Thankfully I haven't had to call their customer service for anything. Your post wasn't the first time I've heard the horrors of getting someone on the phone.
I assume that they worked with the owners of the Netgear routers or Netgear themselves to determine the routers that are infected.
in the article it mentions the review process with netgear. I imagine this is when they determined the firmware that was in use. The article also mentions contacting ISPs to determine what was on such and such IP.
Lop masquerades as an mp3 search engine. It is capable of:
Hijacking your starting page Adding the Lop Toolbar to Internet Explorer Adding the Lop Toolbar to Windows Explorer Causing frequent Windows Explorer & Internet Explorer crashes Popup advertisements Adding Lop links to your Bookmarks (Favorites) Installing software on your PC without your consent Tracking your site visits and reporting them back to Lop (for advertising purposes)
Now where's my check for the 5 minutes that it took to google for this? Your question of "Why doesn't these agencies handle these kinds of problems?" is ironically answered by your real issue. The FBI is not your local computer repair shop.
I would run a program like Ad-Aware to remove any other spyware that you have installed. And next time that you're "hAx0r3d" go to google and search for "hostnamethatisHax0ringme.com spyware"
Hrm, something else i forgot to mention is that the Power levels/Signal strength don't change from when its functioning properly and when its given up and died. At least from what the modem diag page shows.
There *is* one splitter inside the house, though, that I havent worked around yet. I'll try taking that out and seeing if it makes any difference.
I've had ATT cable for about 3 months now. I've been leasing a modem from them as well. This is the first time I've had cable, so I wanted to test it out before paying the 100 bucks for a modem that I may never use again.
Once I reach the upstream cap (300) the connection dies completely. If I upload a file to an ftp site the connection is broken until I stop the transfer. If I start loading a few webpages, or have several ssh sessions opened to different servers, it dies until i can close all the windows, and power cycle the modem. I've seen this happen while watching tcpdump and getting 100-150 arp requests every second for about 5 minutes, the modem sits and crunches while I'm getting 75% packet loss to their router.
From mailing list archives the general feeling is that when this happens your modem is faulty. Well I've been trying for 2 months to get a new modem, and I've gotten nowhere. With that information, and the fact that it powercycles itself about 4-5 times every 8 hours, I've decided that it is the modem.
There definately isn't any perks to paying them monthly for a modem. I'd rather be able to take the damn thing back to Best Buy and exchange it. I think I'd rather have my own modem just for that reason, even if I'm only saving 3 bucks a month.
oh yeah, posting comments on/. breaks it too. go figure. click, preview, argh, click, preview, argh!
"The One" and the Matrix are not related. It's simply a rip-off title. And from what it sounds like a rip off of many movies (Highlander, The matrix, etc)
Yeah write them a letter, it may get there in the next year and be thrown away. In case anyone has been hiding in a bunker for the last month, government mail isn't exactly getting to the government.
Make a phone call/take a drive/fire off an email and tell your government representative that you'd rather them pass laws to stop the media from protecting their money then working on fixing already screwed up bills. (anti-terror/dmca)
Whats more important the bills that are being passed that are taking away civil rights, or x corporation suing x corporation? Who cares if they are fighting over who pays for what.
Lets use this scenario:
Slashdot depends on banner ads for revenue. Every visitor to slashdot uses AdZapit 2000 and never sees the ads. After awhile, the banners which were making 100 dollars are now making 1 dollar because noone is seeing it. Slashdot goes offline, or has to figure out a way to get around AdZapit 2000
X Tv channel depends on commercials being viewed for revenue. ReplayTV sells their box to the majority of viewers at X tv channel. Commercials go on for a month, but noone is viewing them. X tv channel gets $0 for the commercials they aired because noone saw it. X Tv Channel goes out of business, or has to find a way to get around ReplayTV.
I'm all for laws being corrected, but if x company is suing someone else, why involve government? Do we actually want the government controlling businesses or vice versa? No. I don't think so. And i think that is the problem.
This isn't a flame, I would appreciate a decent reply from someone.
With the current state of the government, which is worse, DMCA or the Anti-Terror Bill that was just signed by Bush?
I realize that the DMCA is bad, but where should the energies be focused? Whats worse: X MoneyBags Inc stopping you from hacking their robot or Big Brother snooping your connection while you look for ways to hack X Moneybags Inc's robot? Or even worse, being arrested because Big Brother *thinks* you were *going* to hack a robot?
This is definately not flamebait, an honest question and hopefully a decent answer.

I think you're talking about: Be my lover by La Bouche
http://www.bright.net/~agis/romyandmichele/RMLyr ic s.txt
I think that what he's talking about in that quote is the fact that people who are not technical inclined aren't using Linux or a BSD system because their computers came with Windows or whatever.
I believe he's saying here that if linux, etc was installed on system as well as other things, then the standard of everyone using windows would be less then it is now.
Most non-technical people have no idea what Linux even is. Or they think its a "hacker" tool. Personally i think that X windows is stable enough for some systems to replace the microsoft standard for people who aren't downloading or buying Linux.
Plus any technical administrator of any system formats their hard drive before using it. Even if its NT or Solaris. Just a thought.
These kinds of posts make me wonder if the person is a miserable typer and was trying to get to CNN instead of/.
The only articles that should ever be submitted to slashdot is tech articles about how x military is using x technology for x.
So my question is, why do you come to slashdot for international news.
Everyone is saddened by everything that has happened. But everyone also needs to move on and get on with life. Look up the meaning of terrorism and understand that if everything changes to being scared and ducking under cubicals.
Windows Managers are something slashdot should be talking about.
This is a third generation covert HMD display. Through these sunglasses, I have a monochrome 320x240 VGA display superimposed right in front of me. I can see normally. If I were looking at you, I would see a computer screen floating over your face, centered on your nose.
My first generation displays were crude and bulky in comparison - but many of my first generation displays also contained a video camera in addition to the display.
The second generation displays were much improved and incorporated a beam splitter (half-silvered mirror) into the design rather than a front-silvered optical mirror. The main lens was also customized.
The third generation design fits well in my sunglasses and is more rugged, smaller in overall dimensions, and has custom parts for everything - including the backlight for the display itself.
The third generation covert display is also a leap forward in appearance. Previous generations either required oversized safety glasses to house the display, or had pieces or wires very exposed. The third generation display looks almost completely normal from the front as well as from the side that houses the display. The single thin, flexible black cable - easily concealed - is the biggest hint there is more than meets the eye!
A look through the glasses
This is what it looks like to look through the glasses. Here you can see the "pine" mail program running while I look at my good friend Jack Daniels. This is an actual unedited (but cropped) picture taken with a digital camera through the display. It sees what your eye would see. (The white bar at the bottom is a video artifact due to the modeline I was using to supply the video signal)
The display itself uses a beamsplitter to reflect the image into your eye. The unique properties allow it a "see-though" effect (demonstrated in the following links with a second-generation display) that makes the reflector display an image when the unit is powered on, and appear transparent when the display is off.
Fourth-Generation?
So, what is next? Right now there is no immediate path forward to a fourth-generation display, but it will doubtlessly incorporate one or several of the following advances:
Color
Higher resolution
Even smaller optical assembly
re-intruduction of embedded video camera
The ultimate display would be able to fit unnoticed in a regular pair of untinted eyeglasses.
YES! I build third-generation displays for people! I don't have the info on the web yet, so please email me if you are interested!
You can also take a quick look at my For Sale page, where I currently have services listed for building Second-Generation displays.
My experience with Verio is not very good. Besides the fact of double billings, they have a router that hasn't been fixed in about a years worth of opened tickets. At one point, I was calling and reopening a ticket a day because of 75% packet loss through one of their gateways. Not fun for an ISP.
I'm not for sure how Qwest is for hosting, but that would be the first place Id check.
From what CBS is reporting and the pentagon press conference, they felt a "considerable" threat that Air Force One was threatened.
When in Florida, President Bush said he was leaving for Washington. When Air Force One took off from Florida, the hijacked plane that crashed into the PA was still in the air and unaccounted for by the FAA. Bush then went to LA to get out of the air, and then continued on to assess the situation from the bunker in Nebraska, with his National Security committees and the Vice President at the White House from the situation room.
I'm sure you can find text of the pentagon press conference where Secretary of Defense was talking about the threat. Even though, there was a lot of speculation by media outlets, because the officials from the Pentagon were simply saying that there was "considerable" evidence of a threat on both: the White House and Air Force One. It was mentioned that the PA hijacked plane or the Pentagon plane could have been aimed at Andrews Air Force Base *after* Bush landed. This may be why Bush arrived at the White House under protection of multiple decoys, or at least a little more reason why it wasn't released *where* he was on his way too. At that point, the government was in shock.
So, in essence, anything that anyone says about Air Force One or the White House being threatened is pure speculation. The Pentagon is not releasing anything about intelligence or how they gathered it. This is proven by what Ashcroft and the Secretary of Defense said during an earlier press conference today.
I would also add a *BSD in the mix, if the original poster can try different distros. But if not, I tend to think that the later Mandrake installations are more focused to allowing new users jump on the Linux bandwagon;)

What will happen in case of a real emergency (aka. newly discovered asteroid, big enough to create a 20 km crater, will impact NYC in 20 hours)?
We will call Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, oh and Aerosmith.

no they dont block anything except the latest microsoft worms for msql/iis. nothing outgoing that I'm aware of.
1. Purchase a Microsoft OS with each OptiPlex, Precision or Latitude system.

oh yeah, posting comments on
