Thanks. I know how to use a scope. And already have one.
But I don't leave it on all the time. That's the whole point of my message. Why the hell would you leave it on all the time?
The only thing I ever leave on is my service monitor, and that's on left on tube heat because the damn thiung takes so long to preheat and get stable. Other than that....the shite gets turned off.
Those of you who have pregressed past your parents paying the utility bills probably do the same.
Nobody cares. Nobody is impressed.
Who the hell leaves O-scopes and service monitors on all the time anyway? That's right: nobody who actually owns them.
"The reason that cassettes are still available is that people like to listen to music in their cars. From a technology stand point, cassette is a better choice for a moving vehicle."
If you spend more than $45 on the CD player in your car you won't have a problem.
I wish I could find that funny....but there was already a case where a 1-hour photo lab turned in photos to local authorities who prosecuted the photographers as child pornographers.
That's right....bathtub snapshots of their 1-year-old in the tub taken by the parents.
Big brother IS watching you. And minimum-wage minions are helping so they can feel like they actually have some kind of power in their meaningless lives.
Yeah...all the engineers working for Russia's space program can't figure out exactly where a space station will land when it's brought back to earth, but some hacker will figure out how to hit a building with a satellite they've hacked.
That's pretty likely. Good point.
Never Underestimate!!! I don't know much about RF communications with satellites, or how powerfull it has to be or whatnot, but I'm pretty sure if someone was determined enough, they could hack something togather. Or if they work at a radio station in a small town that goes off air at night. *shrugs* who knows.
The only thing you're proven here is that you certianly do not.
That post was far from informative. Aparrantly someone who know less about this that you has mod points.
On the flip side, since these signals would require massive antenae, you can triangulate the source in a matter of seconds, and send some guys (cops, navy, army, etc) over to shut them down.
Sorry. Try again.
It can be done with an antenna small enough to hide in an attic....no more than 4 feet long or so, depending on what frequency you are uplinking. And it would (have to be) highly directional, so there would be little to no chance of triangulating it from ground stations.
And it can be done with $5000 or less worth of radio equipment, and run off of a few car batteries.
The biggest problem I have with this is that he asks whay multiple transmiters hitting the receiver of the satellite will do.
No only is that obvious to those who know the RF design of that particular satellite, but it also follows that their engineers already know this information. The question is being asked in the the wrong place.
...and as your device is running too muich power throough the finals and it smokes, much like your overclocked AMD, you'll realize that you should have cracked open the case and put a fan on them.
My understanding of this proposed arrangement was that there would be three compliance officers.
- One chosen by Microsoft
- One chosen by the DOJ/US Government
- One chosen by the above two people
I've been using it since the X.com days. I always registered a bank account with them, and kept the informtation up to date. I've never had a problem.
I would expect that if I had not done this, that there would be a greater chance of being mistakenly caught in their fraud protection routines. So I simply ponied up the information.
I'm not trying to discount anyone's stories. I'm sure there is mostly truth in all of them, but I think that most could have been avoided by playing along with PayPal. They ask for a lot of information, and it's for a reason. If you aren't confortable giving all of that up (and I can certianly see why) then don't use the service.
I've been very happy with it, and the Premier account with the debit card is very convenient. I haven't seen anything else that offere the same features. Yes, they are getting expensive, but no more/not much more than any smal-scale electronic credit card processing would cost you anyway (check out Wells Fargo fees, or whoever else QuickBooks is dealing with).
90% of the population? You do realize that when you buy almost any Intel PC, other thana clone, you have bough an MS uni-license. I'd say fewer than 30% of the copies of the various Windows flavors running out there are actually pirated.
No, this isn't a groundbreaking innovation. But all of the trolls spewing about "planning ahead to meet your needs" and "cables aren't expensive to run - I can get everything I need at Home Depot and do it over the weekend" are not the target audience for this product.
This is for network professionals to be used as one of a couple of options for solving the lack of ports problems.
Those commenting about it's uselessness, or that it is not cost effective simply have no idea what they are talking about. No, it's not cost effective EVERYWHERE. It's not the solution for EVERYTHING. But here's a few scenarios where it does work:
- Cube with one drop. Somebody gets a laptop, or you install VoIP phones. Running another piece of cable from your closet to a cube, down an outside wall and through the cube get into the $400+ range. This is cheaper.
- You move some desks around and have more employees in the same space. Often times it would be cheaper to use somethig like this, and much cleaner than slopping some cheap switches under desks or hidden in drop ceiling tiles.
-You move into an office that has drops, but not enough. Same as above.
And before you say that cable does cost that much, remember this: I pay people to run cable. I'm a professional, and running cable in the office is NOT MY JOB. Repeat: NOT MY JOB. And to further that point, I can have a few of these on hand and simply pop them in a wall pocket in a few minutes (ok, so I'd be telling one of my network administrators to do it) rather than waiting a few days and dealing with the disruption of getting/having cable monkeys into the office.
To summarize: losers who think they are big time network administrators because they have a linux box and some sorry ass Sparc 10 they got off of eBay running behind their aDSL router on thie home network are NOT the intended audience of this product. People such as that don't have the required experience to even make an intelligent comment about such a device.
Oh yeah...the osprey that only has about 10 certified pilots becuase it's so hard to fly. That same design that has caused even the most experienced pilots to wet themselves time after time.
THe Osprey's design is fundamentally flawed, and 100x more complicated than a fixed wing aircraft. Have any of you actually flown before? How about a chopper? It's damn hard. It requires skill and concentration. I find it hard to believe that a computer can reliably handle _all_ of the realities of flight at a high enough success rate to make this feasible as a high-densite, mass market traffic/commuting solution.

We're talking about US lawsuits. Not things that are happening in the south.

What do you mean NOW? Subverting the constitution has been going on before the ink on the original document was dry.

Please try to pay attention.
Me too.

WTF is a cubical? It that something like per-seat licensing for a cubicle?

Exchange CALs come with an Outlook license, so if you have a license to use the server, you have a license to use Outlook.
PLEASE people: learn how to spell protocol.
Yes, you're right. People who think that cable installers are less then professional are all racists. Good point.
This wasn't funny as a comment on the 3Com story, and it's not funny here.

IP tracking? That won't work.
You have heard of NAT, right?

But you'd have pre-cooked cat snacks while you wait for it to come back up.
I'm am making the (correct...wait and see) asumption that all of the boxes will be sold to sombody. It's a safe bet.
