The cable lines are leased to the Cable Companies by the City governments Councils.
Is this correct?
This Michael Powell is an idiot because he guaranteed the monopolies time free of competiton so they could ' upgrade their systems '.
Now , do you really trust your cable company to do favors for you ?
Bit of the article -
The FCC voted in March 2002 to exempt cable companies from laws that force phone companies to open their lines to competition. At the time, officials said the move was necessary to spur more investment in high-speed Internet services.
New Isp's offering high speed broadband using Wi-Fi at frequencies the cable companies never use. And they would never have used them anyways because of their Michael Powell protected monopoly.
How much has the Bush administration been Bribed, I mean campaign financed ?
I am guessing our friend at TimeWarner/Cox/another cable company have given a nice sum.
Michael ! give up the look of being independent and acting as though you want whats right for the average consumer. You have messed things up and set broadband back years .
2.The computer manufacturers don't install it on their new computers.
3.Software makers wont make ports for linux until the OS is installed on new computers.
4.Linux has NO voice.
5.Linux is only used by mainly technical people.
6. Linux has NO advertising. When is the last time you saw a Linux ad except some obtuse IBM ad ? Where are the Apple type attacks on THE MONOPOLY ? Remember like in 83 for the MAC.(dates not accurate)
Finding Bin Laden with mini sensor surveillance.
on
The Smart Sensor Web

· Score: 1
These sensors would be good for surveillance.
Put little sensored cameras with radio transmitter onto bomb projectiles shaped like blades of grass to go undetected. The projectiles would hit the ground camera side up and stick in the ground.
Put these sensors onto paths on the Pakistan border of Afghanistan where Bin Laden is presumed(in Pakistan tribe areas).
You don't apply ?? I still don't know how the people are found for the grant ?
Bit of Article.....
Several hundred nominators assist the Foundation in identifying people who should be considered for a MacArthur Fellowship. Nominators, who are appointed each year and serve anonymously, are chosen from many fields of endeavor and challenged to identify people who demonstrate exceptional creativity and promise. A 12-member Selection Committee, whose members also serve anonymously, meets regularly throughout the year to review nominee files, narrow the list, and make final recommendations to the Foundation's Board of Directors. Typically, between 20 and 25 Fellows are selected each year.
Try Python, compiled Python.
There are other languages out there with garbage collection.
cyclone
ADA,scheme,modula or oberon. Too many to list.
just google 'computer language garbage collection'
How can you say he's wrong ?
C is fast but is the principle attack on all microsoft exploits using........
BUFFER OVERFLOW.
50 % of all intrusions use this attack.
I like my java on server side only.
Another language needs to be created or the C libraries need a large bit of rewriting.
Is there any language that is almost as fast as C and has high security ?
Compile Python ?

Avast has the best ratings from cnet users.
But is only good for a month.
You have to register.
Which is why Cnet kinda sucks since it's not freeware like advertised.
All those telemarketters losing jobs will be sad.
Now we need to change the internet email formats to stop SPAM.
eom.
The whole thing sounds like convaluted BS.
These companies should never have been allowed to own the lines.
The gov should have built the lines and allowed the most resourceful,best deal to the public to lease the line.
The whole concept is a disaster.
actually it sounds alot like the telcos.
They own the lines we fund the poles for the telcos.
We allow the cable co. to use the telephone poles and dig the ground.
Would that be correct ?
Espn was mentioned by the cable company here as the main cause of rate hikes.
,we might be able to get some rate reductions . Shame them to lower rates.
If all this were brought up in the media
This whole thing reminds me of what the phone companies said to the public about those charges they put on your phone bill you can never understand.
Most of the charges were for quote ' upgrading ' the network and it never materialized.
I don't have the link but many consumer rights organizations know of this.
Seems like the cable companies stole this little scam right from the phone companies books and fooled the gullible Michael Powell.

I have googled and can't find info on ownership rights for cable coaxial lines.
I thought the public owned the copper lines.
Anyone know anything about this ? Links ?
What's the deal man ? Are you with the people or
.
against them ?
This is kick ass ruling !
Look at this idea.

Ibm and Hp don't install linux on their desktop computers they sell.
Would be a MAJOR shift in the market if those two switched sides.
Kinda odd that they support linux for server side but they giveup on the desktop.
1.Because there is no monopoly pushing it.
2.The computer manufacturers don't install it on their new computers.
3.Software makers wont make ports for linux until the OS is installed on new computers.
4.Linux has NO voice.

Then take him out.
This grant sounds to me like some people that have no clue of what to do with their money.
There are probably real researchers studying cancer or some biotech that need the money.
I don't get it.

they had the article with pictures.
Not the rube goldberg shuttle.
It was more of a glider. Not like the shuttle with the motors.
I don't like the shuttle at all . Way too complex and too expensive.
Just scrap it and go with a capsule or lifting body concept.
Don't have any links but there was an article on slash 2 days ago(too lazy to search for it).
How about sticking an astronout on titanium carbide bucket and putting C4 underneath it ?
protects your ip address.
very important.
and KAZAAlite.
It protects your identity.
All you guys are whining about a meaningless security hole thats been fixed.
I would rather use ES5 than kazaa because i don't want to be sued.
ES5 is worth trying.
Not the more expensive Pdas .
We need a pda that cost around $70 dollars.
A replacement for graphing calculators would be nice.
The LCD screen is what i am guessing is causing the prices to still be up there.

What about opensource software ?
It would be nice to have something to compete with these guys.
