What totally irritated me were the reporters who kept asking (more like pestering) fire/police men to describe what they saw.
ALL of them responded with some version of "indescribable," "unspeakable" or "I can't put it in words"...
To which the reporters then asked, "well can you explain it for us?" (This is directly quoted from a CBS broadcast I just watched)
Morons!! Stop bothering these people with idiotic questions!!
Go buy a dictionary and look up indescribable and unspeakable.
Check out Matrix.net
you can see the spikes in packet loss and reachability in the 9-10 AM EDT hour.
http://average.miq.net/index.html
And the overall reachability has been around 85% instead of the usual +93%
It's on a 24 hour loop, so you'll only see it for about 12 more hrs.
6. He misdirects potential Guinness customers. Quote:
The Complainant further submits that it would be likely that such consumers would choose to visit the such sites established by the
Respondent, if only to satisfy their curiosity as to the content of such sites. Respondent would thus divert potential consumers of Complainant to his www sites by the use of said domain names.
7. But worse than that, he TRAPS THEM in endless clickloops, thereby generating money for himself and preventing the consumer from getting to any legitimate site. Quote:
many of his sites featured advertisements for other sites and credit card companies where "visitors were trapped or 'mousetrapped' in the sites, unable to exit without clicking on a succession of ads. Zuccarini received between ten and twenty-five cents from the advertisers for every click." Id. at 635, 641. The Respondent's "click-based revenue now approaches $1 million per
year." Id. at 640 n.7.
8. And further on that topic, he WILFULLY ADMITTED that he registers the domains BECAUSE THEY ARE SIMILAR. Quote:
that the Respondent "admitted that he registered [the domain names] because they are confusingly similar to others' famous marks or personal names -- and thus are likely misspellings of those names -- in an effort to divert Internet traffic to his sites." Id. at 639-640.
I have no sympathy for this guy. The ONLY way he could have venerated himself was to actually publish a website that contained LEGITIMATE complaints against the company. He didn't.
And then when confronted with it, he could have responded with evidence or argument in his favor, thus using the system. He didn't.
Looks like he dug his own grave to me.
I've powered cycled my modem many times when troubleshooting and i still get the same IP address. And back in January it had been running for 2 months straight but I had 3 different IP's during that time.... Road Runner changes the IP's randomly. And they've been doing it every couple of months for at least the last 2 years. The control is all on their administrative end.
If you read the press releases, you'll find that AOL comes out with 55 percent control vs TimeWarner 45 percent. If i'm not mistaken, majority rules, thus AOL is the controlling entity.
In my case, the glasses in question have the lenses that are designed to change according to different lighting conditions. (dark lense when bright outside, clear when dark or inside building.)
the slight glowing tinge is i believe a result of the affect that blacklight has on the chemicals used in these lenses. My other pair of glasses with "regular" lenses, do not glow under black light. And yes, it does make it harder to play laser tag. grr.
I do a search for transasia on most major search engines and what they mostly come up with is an indian telecom or a shipping or cruise company based in europe (.de = denmark right?). At anyrate, NO french companies, and NO finance companies anywhere. How about some hard evidence to back this story up?
FYI I haven't yet played a game on that thing. They handed me the modem and told me to take it apart. (that's what i get for being former hardware tech)I merely stated what i had found. I apologize for not researching it completely.
I work tech support for an ISP, and when the dreamcast first came out we "convinced" our pres. to buy us one (for testing purposes, of course;> ). Being the techs we are, we promptly opened the modem up to see what it was. Much to our chagrin, the main chip as made by a Rockwell subsidiary. Thus making the modem roughly equivalent to an HCF type modem. For those not familiar, the HCF is basically a WINmodem. (blech!) Thus as any ISP tech knows, it's often a pain in the ass making it work with some ISP hardware. NOw in a PC, you can adjust settings and add init strings to make the hardware play nice. the dreamcast doesn't have this capability, so if the modem won't connect good to yer ISP, there aint a damn thing you can do about it except shell out that extra dough to use their own provider. I would agree that neglecting the networking side, and using cheap modem products, has definitely cost the dreamcast business.
Now the Playstation 2.... that's a different story.. *DROOL!*
So i didn't pay attention in recent american history. ALthough i do take offense at the average age of readers statement. I WAS alive when this incident happened... granted i was probably only 4 at the time...;-P
