"HOW DID THESE E-MAILS BECOME STATE'S EVIDENCE? Under SEC Rule 17a-4 and NASD rules 3010 and 3110, financial-services firms are required to supervise and record all electronic communication between employees and clients. Under the regulations, the communications, which initially focused on e-mail and now have widened to include instant messaging, have to be preserved for a period of not less than six years, with the first two years in an easily accessible place"
Companies like FaceTime are making a market out of IM auditing and archival - they basically have a proxy server that sits between the client and the 'net that takes every IM message and dumps it into an Oracle database... It even goes so far as to insert a disclaimer into the top of every IM session you open every few minutes... The main problem with this is cost - FaceTime charges somewhere in the neighborhood of $100k to get started, and then $50k for each additional 500 screennames...
The last thing any financial company wants to do is to get caught with it's pants down in any SEC investigation - so it's easier to block IM altogether or to just allow one easily auditable one than to allow five different kinds.
It's a little gamier than bald eagle, but a little less fishy than a humpback whale:-)

Chances are the alarm system has a line-cut relay to detect line cuts (so it can sound the audible alarm in the event that someone chops your phone line) - it's the only way older systems can detect it.

If you advertise on 9/11, you're seen as insensitive and you don't care to acknowledge what happened one year ago.
If you don't advertise, you're seen as pandering or sensationalist, and that someway somehow you should be recognized for your good deed of actually not advertising on the day of a national tragedy.

"Lance Hatler, was irritated with the "measly 60 Hz" that the electric company fed into his house and decided he could do better. "I thought my overclocked computer system is pretty sweet. Why can't I apply the same principle to my house? I mean besides the fire code," questioned Hatler.

True. But then again, take a look at Verizon's stock, or Qwest's for that matter.

Larry Kalkstein, associate director of the Center for Climatic Research at the University of Delaware, said early results of his study of Philadelphia, New York, St. Louis and Indianapolis showed a statistical correlation between increased use of air conditioners downtown and a "jump of a couple of degrees" in the local heat-island effect.
Ironically enough, the Philadelphia Inquirer had an article yesterday pointing out how AC is actually making cities up to 10 degrees hotter versus rural areas. In summer, all that extra heat - as much as 25 times more than in suburbs - tends to get trapped close to the ground by high-pressure systems. The result can be a vicious cycle.
"It's hotter, so we use air-conditioning, which makes it hotter, so we use more air-conditioning," said J. Scott Greene, director of the environmental and verification analysis center at the University of Oklahoma.
Filters may be configured on a per port basis, i.e., a filter can be applied to data packets entering or exiting a specific port on a networking device such as a LAN switch
The patent seems to be specific to network switching/routing hardware based solutions, not software based. IANAL, but it could be shown that the intent that Bay had was to do packet level filtering inside of switches on a port-to-port basis (as some of their hardware, like the Accelar series does), and not on a software-ontop-of-an-OS basis as this shows Referring to FIG. 1, a network device 100 as may be utilized by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Network device 100 is a LAN switch, however, it is understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that an embodiment of the present invention may be applied to other network devices such as a hub or bridge.

*Every* phone connected to the PSTN in all *50* states(this includes COCOTs, CLEC owned equipment, etc.) is required to be able to dial 911 . Not only that, it's required that it be able to dial 911 without dialing a 9 first (ie, if you're in a hotel and dial 911 on their PBX, it should dip into it's translation table and automatically dial 911 externally). 9-911 must also work.
Not only that, but as part of licensing agreements with the FCC, every cellphone, whether or not paid for/activated, is required to be able to dial 911.
One thing people fail to mention is that when the prices were originally set three to four years ago($7.95 for cable modem rental), cable modems were still in the ~$300 range - even in bulk they were still in the ~$200 range.
Now, they can be had for $55 on cdw.com
Yes, people who bought their modems 3 years ago are getting screwed - BUT - if they paid $300 for their modem, they've basically made their investment back... Yes, they're not making a mint off of it, but they're also not getting screwed.
Look at it objectively - they're charging you $47.95/month for service, whether or not you own a modem. If you don't own a modem, they're charging you $3/month to rent a $60 modem. States would probably jump on it as fraud in five seconds flat if AT&T continued charging $8/month to rent a $60 modem... The modem would be paid off in 10 months... But at $3/month, it'll take almost 2 years to justify it - normal for most leases.
Let's say I buy a closed-source HP-UX system to run Dave's ATC system on, and in my contract with HP I say "I'm expecting 5-9's uptime of this system per year, and if not, you are held accountable".
Just because the default Windows license doesn't include any accountability doesn't mean that you can't get an OS or application that *does* have accountability - it's all in the contracts.

Actually, they both run ads. It's just who runs more ad-free channels.
XM runs most of their alternative rock, progressive, R&B, etc. stations without ads - the only channels that have ads really are the talk radio stations, MTV & VH-1 radio(VH-1 radio is only good for the audio behind-the-music's, otherwise both of those stations are a waste), and the sports channels.
Sirius boasts 60 ad-f ree channels out of a total of 100(see: Yahoo ) , and XM says out of their 71 channels, 30 of them are commercial free Yahoo so the ratio is pretty much the same, but the number of channels differs... It all comes down to who has the channel formats you enjoy most.
