  3. Re:Answers to Some of the Complaints on Hostile ta Vista, Baby · · Score: 1

    My experience with Vista Business is the opposite, my old XP workstation did run for months without reboots.

    Vista on the other hand requires a reboot every week as it starts to complain that it lacks resources to open new windowses... or worse just sits there and does nothing when you try to open a window. This usually happens by Thursday or Friday. So I reboot it every Monday morning.

    None of our business customers use Vista yet, there simply is no reason to switch over from XP.

  5. Re:Not going to happen on Domain Resale Market Is Phisher Heaven · · Score: 1

    Well, ICAN really should create a .bank domain, and only allow banks to register within it. Maybe folks would learn that banks only use the .bank domain and not anything else.

  6. Re:Well, what about ISP customers SMTP servers? on EU Approves Data Retention · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that the ISP customers are not allowed anymore ton run their own SMTP servers? All mail will have to go one way or the another through the ISP:s mail server?

  12. Re:Multiple registrars? on New York's Oldest ISP Gets Domain-Jacked · · Score: 1

    They do not need any passwords if they accept all mail to the domain panix.com... it all can go down to one (big) file and you can read it with less/more/grep or any other tool of your choise without any password whatsoever... -- Who needs sigs?

  13. Banning commercial skipping on Anti-P2P Law Looms over the Horizon · · Score: 2

    How is this going to be enforced? They can always require manufacturers to build in some sort of commercial skipping protection in appliances sold in the US but the rest of the world does not have to have the same rules as US has (I know, it sucks, but that is the reality ;-)

    Now, this will create the same situation as with DVD zone locks... with a few clicks with the remote and you have disabled this 'consumer requested feature' that we all need to have!

    Why create laws that are not enforcable and that the citicens laugh at?

  16. Positioning service for mobile phones exists today on Bell Labs Demos Cell Phone Location Software · · Score: 2, Informative
    Sonera LCSs use GSM network-based positioning (a basic feature of networks) in various services by offering its users local, position-related information. A more precise positioning also makes it possible to navigate and, e.g., to find a route that is more suitable for the user. GSM network-based positioning refers to defining the position of the customer's mobile phone using the coverage area of the mobile phone network's base station, i.e., the cell. Positioning occurs at the cell-level, not the city limits-level, for instance. In urban areas, there are a lot of mobile phone base stations, so the cell size is small. The positioning accuracy in this case is in the hundreds of metres. In the countryside and sparsely populated areas, the mobile telephone network is usually built of larger cells, in which case, the positioning accuracy is typically on the scale of several kilometres.

    The current positioning technologies are GSM network-based positioning and GPS positioning. GSM positioning uses cell IDs that use the GSM networks and GPS positioning, satellite positioning. GPS-based positioning can position the target up to an accuracy of metres and is based on measuring the distance between the receiver and the satellite. Satellites send radio signals to the receiver and the receiver calculates how long it took the signal to reach it. GPS positioning does not usually work indoors.
