How do these people make any money at all Never mind 1.5 million dollars. It is an obvious scam that has been going on forever. Who actually sends these people money? I think I ammoderately inteligent. I don't make a lot of money but I make a living. I could never afford enough to send these people the amount of money they are looking for. How can someone foolish enough to fall for something like this come close to being able to afford that kind of money? I guess SSI must be paying more than I thought.
Still nothing. My cell phone still works cable hass not had a problem. I don't see the big information systems problems happening. These are not things to be worried about. Now if one pops out big enough to singe my nose hairs then maybe we should get worried.
Well what do you expect from a country that can't keep it's nose where it belongs. When it screws up it wants to hide it. I think that unless it is an immedate threat, like washington just got bombed, the American people should have some say in a situation like went on in Iraq. I didn't vote for the present administration and I would have never gone into Iraq with the sloppy intel they had.
I hope that they do a better job at virus software ten their firewall. The firewall they have now is garbage. It is so full of holes so that they can getto your machine without you knowing it it isn't funny. On top of that it only works one way. What kind of garbage is that. Now granted you don't need people doing stuff like iptable rules - I work for an ISP I can see the customers calling now - but tohave something at least a little customizeable so that you have some control would be good. i want to know when something is trying to contact the internet as well as when something is trying to knock down my own door.
I see no where in any of this that it says that it is ruling out Microsoft. I see that it is stating that they have to take Open Source Software into consideration when they are shopping around. Why does everyone argue that it is bad to mandate Open Source when all they are doing is telling the people in charge of purchasing to just take it into consideration. The problem is that Microsoft does not want Open Source considered because they are very afraid of what is happening around them. If governments start adopting then more people will start using the same software to be able to better communicate. When an Open Source alternative like OpenOffice will do everything the basic person wants to do, why would they shell out several hundred dollars? People shouldn't twist leveling the playing field to look like everyone is against a giant. If we took the same stance of creating equality between the blacks and whites in America as we took with trying to stop Microsft from using their place to continue their monopoly we would have slavery in common practice still today.
"Put as little information on your check as possible (name only is best, or name and address)."
Many places I have used checks at require much more than this on the check. They even ask for the drivers license to write down that on the check. They will not take a check without the further information. I don't see what leaving it off to begin with so that it can be written on it later will do. You might as well not even open a checking account if your going to be this paranoid . The only person your going to be able to be fool enough to take the check is your buddy at work, and good luck to him trying to get someone to cash it unless it is his own personal bank and he promises his first child if it doesn't go through.
hehe maybe you should read it also. It said that it went from zero to twenty a day almost immediately. It has been growing ever since. If it is growing exponentially like mine has been over the last seven years then I can imagine that they get a great deal more than twenty a day now. I do agree with your point though. Their email can be retrieved from many places. And someone fool enough to fill a credit card application out at a mall is likely to be fool enough to use their email address at every website they come across on the Internet.
We use some canadian software called Incident Monitor. It actually works pretty good we use it for internal as well as external tracking. It has taken a litle while to get it worked into everything but it works pretty good.
Calling you every so often? How bout steadily every day? Maybe in your area it is every so often but in some areas it is more like every 15 minutes after 3:00. I think the best thing the government has done in years is to have this list.
I think that this is something that should go to vote. I mean 50 million votes to get rid of telemarketing is a lot. If the American public would turn out to vote like they did to stop telemarketers I think the governmental landscape would look very different in America. But never the less isn't this the voice of the people just the same? Shouldn't government officials take notice of such a turnout? If this was a list for not getting unsolicited email the turnout may have even been bigger.
as far as I know in most work environments, at least the ones I have worked in, the computers are left on at night because that is when virus scans and updates are run. Everyone is usually told to leave a computer on. From what I understand a computer that is asleep doesn't use a great deal more electricity than one that is off and just plugged in. I can imagine that on a huge scale of thousands of computers this could be a great deal of electricity but I have worked in call centers with thousands fo computers running 24-7. The only time they were actually rebooted was when they were having problems, which meant that anything running windows was rebooted daily.
'company that mainly gets chosen for the services it provides'
What services? Have you ever tried to get tech supporrt from them? Perhaps it works for a big corporation, but for individuals you get charged an exorbitant amount of money or the send you to the OEM.
I seem to remember one in the news quite a while back that had a wheel effect like this but I could never find it afterward. It was pretty cool. When you clicked on a directory it would spin open and you could choose from files in it. It was like a layered wheel within a wheel sort of idea. Anytone know here this could be found?
You know this is totally untrue. We have thousands of illegal aliens take jobs from Americans. It seems like many companies actually look for this feature in their employees.
I totally agree with this. Can you imagine if we had to pay stable fees for the US postal service justs because they used to use the pony express. People would go nuts if this were the case.
If it works why is there articles in the papers saying that Maine has the lowest SAT scores in hte Northeast? This is bull. It is a new toy and people are having fun with it. Show me the test scores that say it is working. Lets see Maine blow by the rest of the states for SAT scores. I guess when these students start taking the SAT's we will really know if it is working. I live in Maine and I don't see anything noticeable about test scores going up.
you know you are so full of shit. OSS has a bigger market share of servers on the internet. If anyone wanted to really hurt the internet they would try to create viruses for OSS not Microsoft. This marketshare crap is bullshit. Just because there are more desktops with Windows on it does not make it target that would necessarily hurt the most.

I found a pretty interesting list of the available voting software . At least I thought it was interesting.

hmm must be a regional thing. I haven't ever had any problems with this. I stay signed in all the time.

Except for MS office is kludgy adn bloated. It is totally annoying to use. I find Star Office much more productive and it has database tools with it.
as far as I know you don't have to reboot a linux machine to patch it. You can even reload a new kernel without patching it.

yes I set up my qmail with squirrelmail and I can get my email anyplace. And I never have to change it because i have control over the server.
