I agree, nice to see the thought and work put into this, but their are some obvious issues.
1st, cable and DLS are equal once within the house. This would not give cable any advantage over DSL.
2nd, this does not affect those who use Satellite because cable is unwilling to service them, not incapable.
3rd, security will not exist. Remember, the demand for hacks will skyrocket once you put it into each house. plus its wireless. Thats just asking to be hacked... Cable companies will have to spend MUCHO $$$ to prevent this on a yearly basis. You know, like they did with the cable box upgrades every 2 years, only much more agressively.
4th, 802.x works nice in a ranch house, but it will not like going through floors. It will loose lots of bandwidth there.
If you ignored competition, I think this would be an excellent idea, but I do not see it as a competitive one.
The article says some kind of stupid things like this one.
"They were installed on newer-model cars to trigger air bags."
That is absolutely stoopid statement. Its a sensationalist word bending cart_before_the_horse statement. A black box does not trigger an airbag. But all airbag modules record data in order to carry out their business.
In any event, an airbag module does indeed record a little data like if your seatbelt is on so it can adjust the blow of the bag accordingly. But yes, I would be surprised if it were legal to use *your* airbag module against you. That would be personal data. and should require a search warrant for something specific.
Nevertheless if you claim you were wearing your seatbelt at the time of the accident, then can check it out...
I don't have the TOS but I doubt that it says geocities can *use* the page. It probably stipulates that Geocities can shut it down at their discresion.
Religion is not Mythology. Christianity has nothing to do with it. If you could see past your disdain for Christianity and read the words you might have understood...
Negligence has nothing to do with purpose. They could have good intentions, but if it is shown that they inadequently tested their *fix* they could be found negligent.
The fire hydrant is a little bit of a bad example. The reason it is illegal to part in front of the hydrant in the first place is the same reason the car was damaged. It would be different if it were just a regular no parking zone, and the fireman smashes the windows there because he needed to.
The accessed a webpage and altered its content. That page does not belong to them.
Unless Geocities had somethign in the *EULA* that allowed for third parties to take over web pages under special circumstances, that would constitute the 2nd wrong.
ACtually increasing clock speed requires no input on the part of the development community. But building a better architecture can require some compiler optimizations to take full advantage. Intel knew the lazy man theory would win out. But only temporarily as compilers are upgraded eventually.
BAH, DiabloII was an abysmal failure compared to DiabloI. Graphics and all were much better, but gameplay sucked. DI you could jump in and run the table in about an hour. DII has no realy nightly gameplay appeal to me.
Its too tied to object hunting, which means the hacks completely erase any enjoyment when you see some guy selling 100 'legit' Stone of Jordan's...
I quit it about 2 months and eventually sold the stupid thing after a year of dust collecting. Saddened me.
The worst part of all is Blizzards opposition to anyone else running a battle.net type of server. So for me they are Obligated to keep their servers running, and its not a courtesy since they dont want you playing anywhere else...

Looked for some way to get cable signal to my computer without putting a hole in the wall. And how to get computer signals downstairs to the TV.
Not gonna be able to move the cable TV signal wirelessly. The line level signals are possible though.
Run CAT5 or CAT5e, either will do fine. Forget wireless for the computers. I have that network too, and its bandwidth is certainly more than enough to watch streaming programs, but it sucks when you want to move around said files in whole. Plus lots of things can degrade the signal. Suffice it to say wireless does not like to go vertical, it does, but it looses a lot of power.
Now that you have run the proper flavor of CAT5 (www.dalco.com), you are going to need a computer right next to your stereo. As for running audio video signals this is the preferred order of formats
1. digital 2. high voltage 3. lower voltage
This means that running speaker wire is your last resort, run line level if u can, and of course digital is WAAAAY better. The higher the voltage, the less your signal will degrade on long runs, this is why the voltage the power companies send out is SO high for the long runs, but stepped down when it comes into your house.
I ended up giving up the computer audio thru the stereo because of my house setup, maybe next time though. Currently I use Advent's wireless speakers. They work on 800MHz and dont interfere with my 802.11 network. Plus I have headphones for them as well. But they do pick up quite a bit of the occasional statis. Works best for stationary speakers, the headphones I have when I cut the grass do not work nearly as well. But they work. Also check out the products of www.amphony.com. Note though that this is the same frequency as 802.11 wireless network and the 2.4 GHz phones as well. You wont really *hear* any interference I don't think because they are digital I believe, but you will just get smaller bandwidth when the phone / speakers are running. In my Advent's 800MHz speaks, I occasionally hear the neighbors on the telephone because they are not digital. Thisis basically a wireless way of sending a line level signal thru the house. I also have a receiver I can put on my stereo if I want to send signals to the stereo from the computer. Though anyone in their right minds would prefer the SPDIF, and it will not go across the wireless I assume, havent tried.
I do not like wide screen at all. I do not know why people are calling wide screen some kind of movie gimmic. It seems obvious to anyone with geometry 101 that a theater full of people is better suited by a rectangle than a square. But when you are close to the screen, a square seems more natural. So at home the TV has a more ergonomic shape, and the rectangle is more ergonomic for the theater.
I do not like wide screen TVs at home. I don't really see the point besides not losing something from the widescreen movies.
something like that. So that it allows users to gradually changeover to the system. That would allow them to be more extreme in their refusal to accept emails and much less compromising.
Hehe, this is just what I am doing. Running ssh with PuTTY, forwarding a few ports. 1 for vnc, 1 for http and https, and 1 for Media JukeBox. I use privoxy to forward my web stuff because thats the only way I know now.
Recently when I went to a webpage the company caused a login window to start popping up, and then I knew even without the company proxy they were monitoring me.
Now with PuTTY, all they know is port 22 is open and probably some ssh is going. Its encrypted so they have no idea what the data is.

If they would just reject any mail with forged headers I believe 75% of spam woudld stop, and the other 25% would be easy to track down.

For those who missed the point, the issue is their access to the Geocities webpage, nothing more nothing less.

This seems like what the RIAA wanted permisison to do. They believe its their content so they have access to it no matter where it is.
I mean this in the context of the Geocities web page. Do they have permission to alter the contents of that page??
Solution is elegant, but lets be consistent and understand the implications.

I agree completely. I am almost to the point of wondering if Bezos objective is to crash the PO. (Patent Office)

Of course since we have a Canadian governor, I wonder if we won't be going the other way...

I like it.
They block my mails if I send to more than 1-2 people at a time. Smart. I have lots of friends still stuck in AOL but have to do the old BCC on em...
Why should I worry?
I don't go to sites that use such garbage. Very simple.
Yes, but gargoyles were meant to protect the church and were not representations of evil.
Ah, but likely Comcast will complain if they see something that looks like a webserver emanating from my residence...
Is their a way to access the web without using a proxy?
I am not impressed. Where is the skill? Where is the "how did they do that?" factor?
Maybe if the gnome had been *inside* the 'alarmed room,' that would have been something.
You know, guys throw toilet paper across trees all year around at colleges, is that news worthy? Oh, maybe if its at MIT?
Sometimes I disagree with the ACLU, but I can see where they are coming from, and they appear consistent to me. So I dig that.
Like the ACLU would likely support Gay marriages, and I wouldn't. But the goods outweigh the questionables for me.
