"When anti-abortion groups post this information on doctors who perform abortions, it is considered a threat. Why is this any different?"
Intent. Did Indymedia list wanted dead or alive style information with red 'X's through the politicians that have been killed? Also, note that politicians are public figures while doctors are not. That having been said I think its very scummy of INdymedia and I dont doubt that there is some law that they broke. However its on a diferent level from the "pro life" wackos.
If you dont know and you wrote the app then there is nothing Microsoft or anyone else can do to help you.
Why is PBX and VOIP mutually exclusive?

Will VoIP Kill the PBX?
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I run an Altigen PBX system at my offices, it does just about everything including VOIP if I wanted to use it. We have one T1 comming in that does both data and voice. 50% of the channels go to voice with 50% going to data (so 768kb). However if a voice channel isn't being used it gets switched over to data. We can then hook up a bunch of analog phones (single pair) or VOIP phones (10/100Base-T) and assign numbers to them. Oh yes, did I mention that the version of Altigen we're running is about five years old?
"i own my mailbox. i bought it. i dug a hole. i put it in the ground."
You may have bought your mail box. But acording to US law you do not own it. Do a google search on the subject. So how about answering the question I asked? Are you OK with people going through your mail?
See that text at the top of the page? Now look at the last part of it. See the text that reads "(Note, you'll have to copy and paste that link to view the bug report, or click through from the linked story.)"? Now why do you think that a post about how you cant use the link would be redundant?
"that mailbox is my property, and it has a door. it is not the same as an email sitting on server someone else owns."
Not true. In many instances the postal service owns the mailbox just as the garbage service owns the cans. Even if they dont, most people rent their home and so still dont own the box.
Good to hear the Newton isn't dead yet, I still have my 130 and 110s, sold my 2100 a while back however (the things where selling used for as much as a notebook PC, I just couldn't resist).
The number on your power supply is NOT how much juice the system draws when idle. In fact the spike in power use from turning a system on in the morning is often higher then the amount of power it will draw all night while doing nothing. Of course if you insist on running Quake III in demo mode all night you would have a point.
I sugjest that you tell your boss that your willing to work for free. Since you think my time isn't worth money I assume you think the same of yourself.
"Some are against outsourcing simply because American jobs should be kept in America. Some are against it because they lost their jobs to outsourcing. Others believe that outsourcing produces lower quality goods and services. And yet, others are against it because they are sheep."
Thats right, everyone who disagrees with you is a sheep. Keep thinking that.
"Of course many forget that American jobs don't belong to the employees, but to the employers. Management has to do what it must to cut costs, and improve profitability. It's about the bottom line. Boycotts against companies will result in a poorer financial performance, resulting in more outsourcing."
Ok, if a US company has no loyalty to the US then stop corporate wellfair. Our taxes go to these corporations and they in turn claim that they owe the US nothing. I for one think that they exist and have al this money and power becuase of the US workers.
"And while, it is understandably tough to lose your job to Joe Third-World, I don't understand how some of the same people can support firing employees. Geeks aren't clamoring when big companies announce layoffs. Yet, outsourcing is bad, somehow."
Gee, I wonder why removing a job from the US labor market would be bad. The mind boggles. A US worker cannot compete for an outsourced job, no matter how good they are or what they are willing to work for.
"As to those who believe that outsourcing provides poorer quality goods and services, it is interesting to note that a lot of manufacturing goes on in Asia. The majority of the products used to make the computers that the Slashdot audience uses to read Slashdot is made in Asia. Besides, who's to say that American tech support is any better? Tech support staff everywhere are given guidelines or sometimes scripts to help them work. If they knew better, they wouldn't be working in tech support."
You've never had to deal with outsourced tech support have you? try it some time, its frustrating as hell since your talking to a guy who knows nothign about the product he's supprot ing and dosn't speak the same language as you.

Inside Wal-Mart IT

"Wal-Mart employs 950 000 people so I'd think they pretty much set the standard for their industry rather than paying above or below it."
So you think that 950k people is the majority of the IT infrastructure the world over? Wal-Mart isn't setting standards, they're just dragging the average down.
"Just another reason why I won't run AV software on the desktop. _I_ don't need it, and my systems and networks are actually _more_ stable without it. None of my machines, nor the networks that I administer, have EVER had a virus."
How would you know that you dont have a virus if you dont check for them? Also, F-Prot and Command are VERY light weight, running in around 1MB of RAM. Unlike the anti-virus software you get at CompUSA they dont cause any problems with the system or other software.
While I tend to be that last one to state that Microsoft has too much control over ancillary markets, I was rather disturbed by XP SP2s inability to recognize several third party Anti Virus products and cotinue to warn about the vulnarbility of the system. One wonders what F-Prot and Command-com antivirus need to do to get on the "trusted" AV list at Microsoft.
"I wonder how many stupid kids with color pritners are gonna try printing these up anyway, trying them out in change machines, and do other stupid things with them?"
Almost as many as the number of stupid 7-11 etc clerks that will except the copies.
"Food was grown by humankind for an awfully long time and rather successfully without pesticides or herbicides"
For an awfully long time people would cross bread food producing plants to isolate desirable traits. This is called genetic manipulation and is no different then geneticly altered food.
I think you'll find that there are more then two VGA PocketPC systems out there. I have the Toshiba e805 which has 802.11b, 128mb RAM, 32mb flash, ATI graphics chip, VGA screen, CF and SDIO slots. In addition I've seen several others with the same 480x640 screens.
How long does it take all your workers to do their job on Y vs B? Do they "like" Y or B, how does this effect their productivity? There is a lot going on other then the cost of the systems that effects the TCO, however these things are all subjective.

So you dont mind if I go though your mail in your curb side mail box? After all, that letter from your sister wasn't encrypted, nor was your paycheck.
Which means PearPC will run like a 5mhz PPC rather then a 3mhz PPC. This is freakin useless.
