there is legislation about this, it is called contract law.
there exists and agreement between you and your telco to provide service for a fee and you agree to pay charges that you accept.
since your voicemail is not you you did not agree to accept the service, since you did not agree to the service you are not responsible for the charges. end of story. let them take you to court.
the password doesnt matter, you could put your password on the wall of the subway and att doesn't have a claim. one place where the password *MIGHT* matter is if the password was essential to agreeing to the service. (ie. a webpage or such) but in the case of collect calls your person is what matters. it doesnt matter if the person really sounds like you.
it isnt the users responsibility to change a password.
it is the phone companies responsibility to verify that the account holder has agreed to the charges.
imagine if someone stole your visa and the excuse that they used was your signature was easy to copy. this isn't a valid excuse for allowing the call to take place.
The customer didnt accept the charges, end of story.
It is like someone else using my visa, it isnt my problem if their rep thinks that soemone else signature is mine.
I've noticed that trend to, I chucked two inkjets recently in the past year, after my LJ 5 started jamming alot. I also have some 1 GB SCSI drives from circa 92 that are still going strong even though in the past 2 years I've had a 10 GB laptop drive crash, a 10 GB Quantum Fireball, and a 60GB Maxtor crash on me. And I hear noises coming from my 30GB IBM now, every morning it still works I am amazed.
First, find out how much they want to spend, ie. somewhere like the NYSE has 3 remote sites that immediately mirror every transaction that occurs.
The only reason the NYSE stopped during 9/11 was for political reasons. Most of the brokerage firms in the WTC had warehouses in Jersey rented for years waiting for something like 9/11 to happen.
It comes down to cost, how much is it worth if you loose all your records. How much is it worth if you are down for 2 weeks. First figure out how much a minute of downtime costs, a week, a month, then figure out how much it costs for each of these services.
The mostly what you have to plan for is, suppliers being eliminated, loss of the block your office is in, loss of the the city you are in, loss of the nation and resulting personelle. Once you've factored those things you will have a good basis for a contingency plan, and you will find out how much really needs to be planned for and how much is if it happens we're dead anyways.
Netscape, remember how much 4.X sucked? That is when Netscape lost their market share.
I loved Netscape until version 4, I kept with them til about 4.5 when I realized they weren't fixing the crashes. Then I moved to IE4, which sucked a little less, and by version 5 IE was actually usable.
Now, I use mozilla because it is a better product. The problem is Netscape let their users down for 4.x, after that they were competiting against an MS held market which is an uphill battle.
Products can hold their own against MS as long as that company is willing to consistantly provide a good product, one bad version and you are mince meat aginst MS that is the way MS works.
If Linux 2.6 ends up being a horrible buggy piece of software expect MS to make big gains against it, if it is solid expect Linux to maintain and increase market share.
Is it just me or should a license from MS probably have a URL associated with it pointing it to MS.
This EULA doesn't sound like legalease. I really doubt this is a MS license. I've tried to find a shared source ASP.NET distro to verify but to no avail.
Teaching implementations is the job of trade schools not universities. I expect MCSE's and such to have to go back to school every time a new OS comes out. I would not expect the same of CS / Engineering grads. The service the uni provides is education, not job training, an increase in knowledge / intelligence just happens to make you more valuable in the workplace. Uni is not a job training centre, otherwise you would have classes like Resume 254.
When I learned ASM I learned it on a Motorola HC11, not a P4. Learning the concepts is much more important than learning an implimentation.
If one is unable to extrapolate the knowledge gained from studying one form of serial interfaces to another then if the course is modernized you would still be required to go back to school when the USB / FireWire / Whatever the course is taught with fad ends.
One possible idea would be to setup zones of authority so that routers can only advertise routes for blocks they are authoritative for. I have a feeling that doing this though would make the routing system so hierarchial that traffic would grind to a halt. I'm not really an expert on routing tho... maybe someone who is can inform me.
I knew about it 6 months ago, back then I decieded to apply the hotfix. This is a sys admin problem anyone who had this worm should learn to patch their systems.
I would seriously look at gigabit networking. a) its faster, b) it will work. currently there is no standard for the medium the transmits your IP packets so it is unlikely for two IP stacks to work over IEEE 1394. If you can't afford the price of two gigabit nics I would wonder how much your clients time is really worth. (btw, you dont need a gigabit switch because you can use a cross-over cable.).
There are conservative papers and liberal papers. If you want a conservative POV read Forbes or the WSJ. I'm not even sure that the NYT is liberal. Or perhaps they are just not liberal from my perspective.
Boilerplate Activism vs. Petitions
I think what these people mean to do is setup a petition, this is where one person writes their ideas and others sign in stating that they agree instead of pretending that these are the words of their own. What you can do is send the petition in to a paper once you have collected enough signatures. And the paper can choose to print the petition and then mention that X number of people signed it.
If you don't know your car needs gas you are ignorant. Your ISP's job is to provide internet service, not to secure your connection. By default when you install an OS the root password is blank, it is up to you to change it. If you are not aware of the security implications of the things you use you are being ignorant. If someone sells you a car that unlocks with a screw driver its your responsibility to know that unless they advertise otherwise.
You don't which is why if you are using SSL to verify identity you use certs signed by verisign. Only trusting Verisign and a few other CA's prevents people from spoofing another company. It works a bit like this.
lets use ordering a product from amazon for example. and assume someone is spoofing amazon.
your browser has a bunch of public keys for verisign and other CA's.
your computer contacts www.amazon.com and they provide you with a cert. you check the cert to see if it was signed by verisign. since it's not your browser pops up a message about how the cert isnt valid.

Goatse link above masked by CGI
Anyone have any benchmarks comparing the frame rate to the windows version? or even a it feels faster / slower?
if you dont want to login to their site. download direct from here
anyways, this removes my final dependance on windows. tonight i shall remove MS OS's from my household. w00t.
I'm just waiting for OO to come out with an Aqua edition for my iBook and then no more MS.
Hey, maybe by that time NWN Mac will be out

Gobbles vs. Jeff K.
I wonder if Jeff K. is secretly Gobbles alter ego. They definately act alike.
Cross Platform?
I don't think any of these solutions support multiple OS's
