    Worse case use monowall.. it is free and runs linux

    try FreeBSD there sparky:
    m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a web server, PHP and a few other utilities.

    In Illinois, if you do that without notifying the other party, it's a felony.

    How about the fact that *no one* has ever been barred from this prior to this instance?

    Oh, and it's not "representing the administration", it's representing the United States of America. Last I checked, this country had more than a few people that supported Kerry.

    Ya know... I don't get into political stuff much, but this shit has. got. to. stop.

    and that would still be about $15,000 a month.

    what the hell kinda crack are you smoking? I just had a DS3 from UUNet pulled into my office for feeding a wireless ISP I'm starting on June 1, and it's a flat $4,000/mo, including loop charges.

    This likely won't happen, unless the German experiment is a success, but if it did, it would define THE de-facto standard for such networks, globally, and not just for trains.

    yeah... 'cause GSM is a "world standard" now

    Fraud is a cost of business to credit card companies

    as a holder of a merchant account, I can say that you're full of shit. WE bear the brunt of fraud (a.k.a. "Chargebacks")... not only do we lose the money, but we get charged a nice little fee along with it. (usually around $30-40).

    oh yeah, and get more than $x percent chargebacks in a year, your account goes *poof*

  16. Kinda torn on Should Dual Cores Require Dual Licenses? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm kinda torn on this one...

    on one hand, a person with a dual core chip is likely to get slightly better performance than 2 actual chips.

    on the other, if everything goes to dual core, then we've just handed Oracle, MS, et al. double (or more?) profits on their products. Support costs will remain somewhat constant, so wtf?

    I dunno... it's a hard nut to crack

  17. Re:Simpler solution: on Use A Regular Phone For Cellphone Calls · · Score: 3, Informative

    watch your ass on that one... from Verizon's site:

    Airtime applies to forwarded/transferred calls even if you send the call to wireline telephones. When forwarding calls to phone numbers outside your local calling area, you'll be billed for any toll, long distance, and airtime charges incurred. Additional per-minute charges may apply to all forwarded calls.

    I know here in Central IL, it's 10 cents per minute plus airtime for all forwarded calls. I got out of my contract 3 years ago when they implemented that.

    With an IE integration feature, we could amass a list of the websites that need IE rendering and Firefox could automatically render them with IE, if needed.

    I'll pass thanks... since I'm guessing that an ActiveX control would trigger that? I use Firefox *because* it doesn't have ActiveX.

    it doesn't matter if it's porn or whatever... the judge summed it up perfectly. It is not the right nor the job of government to tell an adult person what they can see/think/read, and anything of the sort *is* an infringement on my liberties.

    I also find it pretty funny that the bible-thumping types that are always so vocal about porn had a conference in some hotel a while back, and that hotel reported a 600% increase of their in-room porn rentals over that weekend... pot, meet kettle.

    upholding the public sense of morality is not even a legitimate state interest.
