I think I'd pay $80/month for speeds like that. I have T-mobile GPRS and it's really nice having wireless net access on the road, although T-mobile's service is painfully slow.
The biggest blocking factor for me on Verizon is the lack of bluetooth phones. My t610 joined with my Powerbook is a shear joy (except for the speed). Bluetooth is great. Verizon sucks for not having any handsets that use it (or pressuring manufactures to make a decent CDMA phone with bluetooth).
That works for unsigned certs, but not for signed certs where you have your own CA (where it can't run the chain to a trusted root cert). Do you know how to install a new CA into OS X? I tried to insert into keychain, still doesn't work.
And by the way, I get the same hard crash that the parent poster said.
And before people start attacking ie for saying that mozilla supports xyz css and ie6 doesn't - mozilla was last released yesterday - ie6 was released 2+ years ago.
Remember when Microsoft was releasing and improving IE on a rapid basis? Let's see, when did Microsoft allegedly win the browser war? Oh, about two years ago. When did Microsoft stop innovating IE? Oh, about two years ago. Since then, Microsoft doesn't care cause they have the browser market locked up. Therefore we need to download stuff like this and google toolbars to add pop up blocking and all kind of other third party stuff to get IE up to some modern day level.
I got two of those, as a matter of fact. They are full copies of Office 2003 and One Note. Not an evaluation, no time bomb, full featured.
And you know what, there's a reason for it. Others where I work got copies as well, and they are already pushing for us to get an Exchange server. There are many features in the new "Office System" that require server support. When you try to use a feature that requires support on the server, a message pops up about how you need to contact your systems administrator to find out how to enable this great new feature.
When Diablo 2 was hot, EB near where I live had plenty of used copies in just the jewel case, shrink wrapped, with the product key showing. Nice way to jot down and get a legit code for playing a bootleg copy online. I couldn't believe EB was so stupid.
Also, a few months ago I went to buy a new Game Cube for my nephew's birthday and they tried to hard sell me into buy a used console.
I honestly don't know why vendors (both software and hardware) just stop selling them stuff. They do all they can to steer you from buying new and getting used, and that's sales lost to the vendors.
SCO said its rights do not depend on copyrights and patents, but rather on a contractual relationship with IBM. "Copyrights and patents are protection against strangers," SCO said. "Contracts are what you use against parties you have relationships with. From a legal standpoint, contracts end up being far stronger than anything you could do with copyrights.
Remote users have to use your SMTP server and authenticate using SMTP AUTH. saslauthd is the necessary glue to make it work with pam, if that is what you use for authing other services.
Experienced programmes in any language can figure what stuff means, even if they looking at code they dident write themselvs.
Clearly you've never seen a program written in APL:-)

Cell-Phone Wars

I want to know how you'd use a cell phone or camera into a shower anyway? It's not like you can hide the thing easily, unless you are so fat you can tuck it under one of your folds.
As for heading into and out of the shower room, please put a towel around your ugly stuff. If fear of camera cell phones makes people a bit more modest in the locker room, I'm all for it. There's nothing worse than sitting on the bench trying to tie up your shoelaces when some guy with a dick he's proud of walks up completely naked and tries to start a conversation. You look up and you're in direct eye contact with his one eye. Horrible. Would it kill you to wrap a towel around you when you come out of the damn shower?
This is only the beginning. One of the big reasons for a live orchestra was timing. The conductor has to ensure the music stays synced with what's happening on the stage. With a straight recording, that isn't possible. But now thanks to the ability to control the tempo of the music through a computer in real time, they really won't need ANY of them eventually.
I wonder if Sir Cameron Mackintosh has a Macintosh and recently got his copy if iLife '04 and started playing around with GarageBand or something!
What about the wear issue? I assume those processors were cranking around 100% for good portions of the time, generating a lot of heat. The room had some pretty intense cooling, but individual computers probably still heated up a lot.
Should that be a concern? Do these 6 month old computers already have 2-3 years of typical mileage on some of their components?
This same thing happened at Philadelphia. They spent a ton o' money about 10 years ago building a shopping mall between terminals B and C and forced all shop owners to not charge any more than street prices. They advertised it as a place for people to shop while waiting for friends to arrive on flights, or just come just to shop. Security checkpoints used to be at the beginning of each terminal meaning the shopping areas were in unsecured areas.
Now the security screening is done on the other side of the main concourse, cutting off all the shops from non-flying public. I always wondered how pissed this made the merchants.
The dumbest airport on the planet is Heathrow though. Since it was easiest for me, I rode into London with a friend in the early morning rush when he went to work, caught the tube into Heathrow and arrived 6 hours before my flight was to leave. I figured I'd hang out in the large set of duty free shops they had. But alas, Heahthrow won't let you check in until two hours before the flight, then when the checkin area was announced, it was an hour long queue. Then wait for security and passport control, then you get into the shop area and there's 10 minutes before the gate is announced and boarding begins. I had no time to shop. Idiots. There was nothing to do while waiting to checkin except hang out in Starbucks. btw, no wifi at Heathrow (at least terminal 4)
btw, Philly airport also has wifi, but charge $10 a day. I just use my GPRS while there. It's slower, but it's just not worth paying $10 for a fairly short time. The other airport I use a lot, BWI, has same rates, but different vendor, so paying a monthly fee is stupid and even then it wouldn't work at other places, like Borders which uses yet a different vendor.
If port 25 is blocked, we'd just get SMTP-over-HTTP within 6 months.
Great timing on this post (for me). I just got done reading how Microsoft has implemented RPC over HTTP in Exchange Server 2003. What next? Redirect ports 137-139 and 445 over HTTP to allow file sharing through corporate firewalls?:(
That particular company has a proven track record of dominating just about any market it enters.
Like their MSN ISP service which was supposed to kill off AOL, or their gaming console business which was supposed to kill off Sony? Being in second place -- a distant second place -- is hardly dominating!:)
What has Microsoft dominated besides desktop OS and Office suites? Granted, they are two big markets, but Microsoft just can't decide to get into a market and be assured the market will roll over and let them conquer it -- and there's a lot of past history that says that isn't so too.
As for iTMS, if Apple doesn't go away and you lose your files, you're screwed. You can't redownload previously purchased music from Apple's site. They suggest you make backups of your downloads.
So unless wma files need the occasional checkin to stay alive (like old divx discs used to do), then it's not really any different.
Your points are all valid and the advice is available in any decent $50 book. I'm talking about the guys charging $5,000 to tell people how to load up pages with unreadable meta-garbage for example.
Google is providing a service. If you don't like it, you can buy up adwords. Paying some sleeze bag to trick google into ranking you higher is risky and could fail as Google constantly works to try to make their rankings as fair as possible and defeat these tricks.
If you want to spend money on better placement, send it to the people who are providing the service -- Google -- and buy up ads.
How the hell do you suck a terabyte in a month? Even if you were downloading straight DVD rips, you'd have to be on 24 hours a day -- and then when would you watch them?
Right. Back before the IBM PC, a big bitch about the apple was that there was a single reset button too close to the keyboard and it was easy to hit it accidently. Cats on keyboards can't do Ctrl-Alt-Del -- which is a good thing.
Imagine the benefits of allowing wifi card makers to boost the power of their transmiters. It would make the microwave oven obsolete too. An entire dinner could be cooked while it sits on the dinner table, oe for that matter, before it even leaves the grocery store. Cows could be cooked while they stand in the fields. Also, no need for water purification plants, since all rivers and lakes would be under a constant boil. And, best yet, no need for artificial heat in your house during those cold winter months, since you'd be warmed from within!
I believe along with this, your ISP or employer would also have to set up authenticated SMTP so you could send email through their servers legitimately when you're outside their network. Shame that many places now routinely block outgoing port 25 though...
I've been posting a trivially simple to defeat munge in my sig on usenet posts for years, with just a space in front and behind @ like "user @ example.com" and I have yet to receive any spam to it.
I will also say that my return "from" address in usenet posts is unobfuscated but coded, and I receive tons of spam to it. I also have had unobfuscated addresses on web pages since 1994 and they all get hammered too. Even after all the blacklists and spam detection, I still get about 100 spams a day.:-(
On a more humorous note, I have turned on the slashdot random auto-munge feature and for a while there it was munging it to slashdotNO@weaverling.org -- and I started to get spam to that one. Gotta love the ones who claim I am only getting it because I opted in to their marketing list.
I can''t imagine there is a big demand for a hotspot outside of my house. How would that justify the expense to the company? I want hotspots in places like public parks, and stores where my wife loves to go and make me wait for hours on end (Marshalls is evil).

So EV1 is at far greater risk from SCO now than before.
