I can tell you the most you will get is a web browser with that is only allowed on port 80 and 443, through a proxy. Basically its used to browse the web and nothing else. We tried to get them to open up more ports (to allows Citrix for example) and not a chance!. Too much of a security risk.
Is it just me, but I am getting tired of everything I need to do being a security risk, and how can accessing my office computer via the Java Citrix client be a security risk. I think its more that they have non-technical people onboard who don't know or care about the issues
Maybe Richard Bullwinkle left because he has ethics.
The biggest problem I see with this, is every TV station will BUY time on my Tivo and I'll have so much CRAP on it that it will become annoying to use it.
I bought it to record programs that I want to watch, I don't even have suggestions turned on!
Senator Dianne Feinstein, an original drafter of the proposal, recently explained in a Capitol Hill magazine that it is her intention to see Congress immediately implement a national identity system where every American is required to carry a card with a "magnetic strip on which the bearer's unique voice, retina pattern, or fingerprint is digitally encoded." May 10, 1995

All you do is stop voting this Dianne Feinstein into office, and this will stop happening! She is intent on doing this and now has been doing it for over 7 years. Maybe its time to wake up and smell the roses those people in CA. I think people will ignore her, just like that have for the last 7 years
There is something more to this than they are letting on. It doesn't make sense that they would complain about around $10,000 a year in maintance, whilst keeping an IT person on the payroll that would go ahead with this.
It sounds to me like somebody went and said 'hey it hasn't crashed in 10 years, I want this $10,000 in my paycheck because you already pay me so bad'.
Why does this make me feel that IBM is going to get the flack because they wont fix the computer, and tens of thousands of people will not get the refund checks etc and it wont be blamed on the idiot who decided NOT to renew it.
American Government is getting nearly as bad as American Corporations!
During Sept. 11, alot of people said that email was useful in letting people know they were ok because they weren't able to get through on the phone. The gov't has been putting a lot of information and communication onto the web, they just want to make sure it gets through in an emergency. Just like a siren on the fire truck lets us know to pull over and let the truck pass.
You don't live in NYC do you!. siren's go off all the time, and 99% of people ignore them, just like they will with this RFC
After reading the article, and also having my Microsoft account rep call me up after I have told her that I wont be installing my "enterprise" (every time I say that word, my whole team breaking to ST:TNG theme song), becuase the cost of making sure Microsoft's buggy software (generally Office and Windows W2K) costs me more than the operating system does itself in both actually purchasing costs of software and man power required to check, recheck and check again that everything is set up tight... My account rep had the hide to say this afternoon, "So now we have promised to do this, will you upgrade to Office XP now"...
Nothing has changed as far as I can see, nothing will in the next 1 - 2 years because Microsoft will take that long to get what we currently have running NOW working correctly, and I just feel this is another ploy to get Microsoft to force us to upgrade to the latest and greatest operating system because they are promising that this time, really folks, this time it will be the most secure and stable release of Microsoft software EVER!, as if this is hard to to!
Grrrr, too many NT crashes, not enough intellegent techs to figure out what went wrong, other than.. oh just reboot!
The thought they could get away with it both ways

I would honestly bet, that the people in the cyrstal palace of RIAA forget that there is this "tax" on black media, or they knew about it, and now want to have a more effective way of increasing it without huge public backlash (we will return your right to have clean cds, but we can pull this stunt again if we want more money). Imagine if the RIAA wanted to increase the "tax" to 50c/media, without going through this effort first. People would revolt, now they are saying, well if I get access to all my CD's again, maybe its worth it
Having just left the UK over 1 year ago, because I knew my privacy was close to nothing, I moved the the United States partly because I like nobody knowing much about me. I'm no unibomber, but I have my credit cards from different parts of the world, so I don't have a credit report in the US, my employeer is the only person with my social security number, and I know it never goes any further than the government departments that the law states need this information.....
Now, I feel it will be impossible to keep my privacy to myself, which I feel is rightly mine, not anybody elses, not the governements and last of all, Not the media!.
Please can I simply have my privacy back, so I actually feel like a person and not a number
As a person with 24 hour restoration contract with Verizon, and it now being nearly 1 month since the "outage" I am not having to pay them around $1000 a day for not delivering to the SLA. Verizon's own Account team called me and told me I wont be billed for this month.. Something good finally came out of this..

create ISO's from your favourite CD burning software and use Daemon-Tools to map that ISO over the network and you wont have any more problems
Actually no, they have no idea.

Because Sony "Professional" is used in every major TV station worldwide. 40 mins is plenty for news gathering and professional "soundbite" uses
You just single handledly figured out how to get the world out of recession, and bankrupt these scum!
Nobel Peace Prize for this one!
This being 9 months old, and happening on that day, this is very old old old old old news!

Dear God, I needed a good laugh and you delivered as prayed for. Man, you rock! I'll follow your beat anytime!
My DELL NAS device has IE within it, but it runs Windows 2000
the sad thing is that this is true. Us Australia's are totally crazy about making beef taste better
Damn, needed your advice about 12 months ago!

I have never contributed to anything like this, but I think this has a chance to become a good test case, and hope it will start to break the DCMA
If you think it looks beautiful in SDTV, wait till you see it in HDTV, its an amazing picture quaility, with an great story line.
I started watching it only because it was in HDTV, now I'm hooked and love it
Viacom is the owner
Funky music, but no video of a CPU blowing up, maybe just your mind is blowing up instead

and when they try to break into it, sue them via DCMA and tell them to take a fly f*ck and leave my personal property alone!
I don't have pirated stuff on there, and I don't want them snooping around my system
