How long till we get to sell Volvo a linux security system?
Microsoft still sells 98 lisences?
Will I have to hit the start button to turn it off?
It is interesting to me to see how this is begining to pan out. Seems only a few years ago I was trying all sorts of ways to get a cleaner phoneline so my dial up conenction would get above 26.4k. Now I am on bellsouth dsl and haven't the slightest complaint about the service.
$30 more per month than dial up and I get 150 k for download and 25 for upload "UNLIMITED" is what the contract says! I use alot of bandwidth! I keep current on 4 opensource distros and mirror a few ftps with my own public ftp limited to 1 user of course. I also run SETI on each of the 7 pcs on my home network.
I had Direcpc before DSL was available and discontinued my service as soon as I realized I was not getting the product as advertized.
My current isp hasn't had a problem supplying me with what they offered. I do not see why other isp's should be allowed to block users in any way shape or form. I feel that would be false advertisment and a breech of contract in my case.
If thier infastructure cannot support the product they sell then they need to stop overselling it.
I don't need my isp to protect me that should be up to me. I don't see master lock coming out and blocking the keyhole to my front door cause I ordered to many replacement keys. Granted as it seems to be missed the trojan like spyware embeded in kazaa was activated recently. (a search on GOOGLE for "kazaa spyware" will reveal all) but isn't it up to me to worry about that?
Back when I had dial up I really enjoyed comming to work to use my companies 14 T1 lines to surf the web. Now my company has decided to make thier lan as secure as possible wich has resulted in all traffic being routed through proxies. The priority being cost and security ended up as it is now on our 14 T1's I get a whopping 60kbits/sec.
But we still pay for our 14 t1's.
As a consumer I would rather have my isp worried about how to get me more bandwidth than securing me or capping me. If we as consumers refuse to accept service we do not want the isp's who do not have a monopoly in the area will fail when they give us low end dishonest services.
Is there anything that doesn't cause cancer?
I just love how any study done by anyone resulting in anything close to.0001% increase in cancer gets turned into "If this is done you'll get cancer for sure".
With odds like that stated as fact then should anyone who buys a lottery ticket have to read a warning "buying lottery tickets can cause you to get lots of loot"
