I totally agree -
As long as you utilize the "Remote Admin" mode of terminal services and not the "Application Mode".
Just poke a hole for TCP Port 3389 thru the firewall - keep a tight leash on who has "Admin" privilages - Rename the Administrator Account to something other than "administrator" (duh) and give it a decent password - and presto! Instant secure admin.
M$ even makes a pretty bitchin web client for terminal services called the TSAC (Terminal Services Advanced Client) which transforms any piece of shit Windows 95 box into a 2000 client using IE 5.X or above.
Dont get me wrong - I love M$ bashing as much as anyone else - but this nifty feature is pretty solid.
I've scoured my fav hacker sites for exploits of Terminal Services and cant seem to find any other than a logging bug which may make it difficult to track intruders.
Since when does FBI do the dirty work of ISP's? -
Think of the precedent here - use to much bandwidth - go to jail... WTF?
Sure these dummy's had to know they were gonna get caught - All they had to do is send a cable guy out there and snip, snip end of problem
Once you let them know you're gone, you're poison.
The only reason they counter, is that they want to squeeze more out of you than they can for only two weeks.
When there done squeezing, they will want to throw you out.
I just called my Cable provider - AT&T Broadband - who informs me that yes, we are changing rate plans - but that they are only going to offer a higher tier of service and that my existing service speed and rates are not going to change. I will however be able to purchase a plan which doubles my speed from 1.5mb/down to 3.0/down for an undisclosed amount.
If this is the case (which I don't exactly trust is the case) this wont effect me or my downloading habits (heh, heh) in any way.
I wonder if this is due to the fact that the ATT broadband network is basically still a cluster-fuck of assimilated cable companies which were gobled up in the nineties - each microinfrastucture significantly different from the other causing different limits/rates etc...
Just get one of these and tell the safety nazis to cram it!

From my experience, short hold times, techs that know their product (shocking!), free overnight crosshipping on busted parts and best of all it's free to their customers.
When I call, I don't get the "your an idiot" treatment that Dogbert is famous for.
My biggest worry is that this HP deal is going to screw this all up.
I would like to be the first to sign up to collect all the "recyclables" AND collect that "fee".
I deal with clients all day who don't know the value of any of their old stuff.
I'm already in the recycling business... ebay is my garbage can.

Holy crap! Awesome!- and I thought I was totally pathological
Want the Atari 2600? How about that and everything else made since then? I stumbled across this auction. Holy cow.

If any of this even comes close to reality, it could really end up being a big push for Linux and the Linux desktop.
