I've been with the OU (as we call it here) for four years now, and am about to complete my DipComp. Has been easily fit around work and family, but it is all corrsepondence, so that makes it easier. Highly recommended, and they do ship overseas....
I'll second this. I actually had to replace a dead Cisco with a Zyxel, and was not best amused, until it went solid for three years, at which point we got rid of the line anyway. Was extremely shocked, and will happily recommend them....
true, but it would be nice if big corps like MSN could stand up and say, here are chatrooms for kids, that are moderated, but that can be used freely. you shouldn't need a subscription. As for limiting it to US, that's just ignorant.
okay, imagine a ten year old ends up in a room concerned with extreme methods of amusement in the bedroom. what if some of the terms confuse them, and they go on to google to look for them...
it's an extreme unlikely example, but driving kids underground for chat isn't the way to go about it.
Those that want to go looking for stuff they shouldn't can and will, but twe need to protect those who just wish to talk to their peers.
no, this is a bad thing for that very reason (the irc thing). All the other providers will follow suit, because naive parents will think that the service they are using doesn't care about their kids. their kids will then go and find somewhere else to hang out, that will be completely unmoderated, and is likely to get them into worse situations... this is all because microsoft doesn't want to risk it's repuation and stump up some cash for proper policing of safe chatrooms.
I'm a sysadmin, and one of the things that really pisses me off, is when people ask me how to do such-and-such in whatever program. I can't use excel. I don't need to, i look after networks and servers.
In order to be a virus, all a file has to do is replicate. If it has a payload or not is irrelevant. If it has a payload, but no replication, then it's a trojan...
I should also have said that until this debacle started, we were an SCO partner. I'll post a link to a shot of me burning the certificate at some point... although they haven't yet responded to my request to remove us from the program....
I had a letter from Sun the other day trying to convince us to drop AIX and buy Solaris, on the assumption that we're 'concerned', and are scared we'd 'lose' our license to AIX....
We have Dell SX-260's here with flat panels, and every one of them does it. Couldn't give you a timescale, but they all do it intermittently. A reboot usually clears it, but this is still using energy save shutdowns after 5 mins inactivity...
I won't permit him to use or be forced to use Winbloz which is broken, defective
Now THAT'S draconian opress
erm... mr Pot, meet mr kettle...
Nothing like letting kids make their own decisions in life. I can imagine the uproar there'd have been if you posted, "i won't permit him to use of be forced to use Linux"....

what's dangerous is the content of the chat. If kids are forced to go elsewhere, they could end up in the middle of anything...

get indemnity insurance pronto. you bust it, you don't want to pay for it...
All the PhD's I know have stayed in the education field. Two teach, and one has a research position at Microsoft's Education dept.
There was a story on here a while back about an ASM interpreter for ASP.NET...

erm... what's the JET Engine that sits behind it then? toilet paper?
When I went to speak to Sophos at a show, they actually took me to Sybari's stand :)
yeah, they're called FTP clients :)

that's not flamebait, that's true. it's violation of copyright, plain and simple.
looking where you're going is one thing, steering in that direction would be nice too :)
no, probably not.
who modded that funny? mine does it to! it's not funny, it's a pain! :P

we have Dell LCD's here, and they do burn in... it's *very* irritating. a reboot has fixed it, up to now...

WinLinux 2000, it's pretty appalling, but hey...
