1) Tollway authorities WANT people to use these things - Why would they want to cause a mass panic/mass exodus by giving out speeding tickets?
2) Even if they use it to prove my car must have been speeding between point A and point B - how are they going to prove that I was driving? They give speeding tickets to drivers - not cars
Got a call from one of these sleazebags (after 9:30pm) and after I whipped out the DNC on them they backpedaled and said they were simply conducting a "Survey" of my attitudes on long distance - and therefore were exempt from the DNC.
You know the kind of survey - with questions like - "Did you know that AT&T now has the lowest per minute rate... blah blah blah..."
Lets say I'm a dickhead virus writer and lets also say that I want to bring the internet to its knees with my virus.
I then consider which operating system to attack -
Linux - way to secure for me to even bother! Its air-fucking tight - gee I dont stand a chance.
Mac - Wow! I cant even understand this operating system - let alone hack it
Windows - ahh yes, piece of cake
If Linux/Mac were even half as popular as Windows, there would be plenty of exploits/hacks/viruses written for those OS's
The fact is - Linux users are basically Slashdot readers and are therefore not stupid enough to expose their systems directly to the Internet the way millions of idiot Windows PC users with cable modem public fucking IP addresses are.
As for Macs - even virus writers must say - "Who the fuck cares?"
The problem with Freedom is - you never know what people will actually do with it... like invent a decentrallized p2p network and then trade files with each other.
My experiences has been poor when routing VOIP across Internet links.
The problem isn't bandwidth/speed at either end - but throttling at the internap points between backbone providers (XO Communications is particularly notorious when it comes to this issue)
When it comes to VOIP packets, there needs to be decent QOS/Priority Queuing from end to end to make it viable - and right now the tier one providers aren't exactly playing nicely together in the sandbox.
Slashdot Mirror
Two counterpoints, if I may ...
1) Tollway authorities WANT people to use these things - Why would they want to cause a mass panic/mass exodus by giving out speeding tickets?
2) Even if they use it to prove my car must have been speeding between point A and point B - how are they going to prove that I was driving? They give speeding tickets to drivers - not cars
Jesus - what a disease of an operating system ...
Simple solution

Me fail SMTP security? Thats un-possible!
Damn! - Beat me to it!

Good one
What about all the time needed for the all important LAN Party "stress" test ;)

Phuckers - hope they all burn in hell
Dude -
Dont forget MXC - "Most Extreme Elimination Challange"
Probably the best show on TV since Bevis and Butthead
The big problem with giving your citizens freedom is - you cant control what they'll actually do with it
..
You know, they might create a decentralized p2p network or something
Gee - I completely forgot about those pop-unders since I visited http://toolbar.google.com
WTF is next?

... thank you!
You: "Ummmm I'd like to order a drink
Bartender: (in German accent) "Paperz Pleaz!"
I'll drink at home
If they are indeed spoofing thier caller id - they are in fact breaking the law
At least we can theoretically retailiate for that

The possiblities are endless -
..that insist on using this lame service from hell ...

Here's another reason why thats too true.

Last time I was playing (loseing at) blackjack, the dealer had a gizmo which could only be described as a perpetual shoe.
It contiuously shuffled the multiple decks of cards inside it. After each hand, all the cards just went in the top.
Try counting that!
How long before a virus is made which will mod the HOSTS file to redirect windowsupdate.com to a pr0n site or whatever ...
People protecting their privacy!
How dare they! People actually exercising personal liberty and freedom?!?!
This must stop! Horrors!
Maybe this is a dumb question but ...
How do you - like - load games on it?
You don't know what those wacky Estonians will do with thier "rights" and their "freedoms" ....
They might start a decentralized peer-to-peer network and start trading files or something!
is eternal vigilance ...
... like invent a decentrallized p2p network and then trade files with each other.

Stay tuned - the war continues
I guess I bought mine at the right time ...

... cant wait to see what I can fetch on ebay for mine ....
Just before they raised the fees and before they wrecked the product
Hmmm
Why change the format? I thought that the current standard of Zip could not be improved - Compression wise anyway
We're gonna need a little more $$$ than that ...

I mean we nead a pretty kick ass 15,000 node LAN for starters
