Nice try..
What the hell is this, maybe it's a Crackhead version of the Gotcha-Game! come on just give Internet Explorer props for not being affected by this issue and learn from it!
This is just stupid, ALL SOFTWARE HAS ISSUES! learn / debug / patch / move on.. I am an Internet Explorer user simply because I need to be able to access ANYTHING on the net that my clients throw at me.. That doesn't mean mozilla is a poor product, it simply means that mozilla is not suitable for my uses.. Grow up people and quit playing the Gotcha Game
Yeah but let's keep the damages realistic I fear the Bloated damage estimates In Kevin Mitnicks Court Case. I think we should all keep an eye on this beyond the normal 72 hr spot light and make sure when theese "hackers" are caught and taken to court that the Punishment FITS THE CRIME...
Kevin Mitnick still is not a free man.
I think this is more like hacking into MTV and playing your own sick and twisted video's instead of the content that MTV has agreed to provide it's customers.
like most people ?? Most people want it and they want it now. I think you should take a second to realize that you might not be in the popular majority on this one..
Higher speeds also create new avenues for such things as Voice over ip, video teleconferancing, and many many other productive applications.
If people didn't pay for higher speeds we would all still be at 56k or ever 33.6 for that matter, I emplore you please don't stand in the way of progress!
I personally would pay another 40 bucks a month to double my service speed..

OSI vs SCO
·
· Score: 0, Troll
SCO is a souless puppet whoose strings are being manipulated by the heartless tyrant known as MicroSoft. They deserve the full fury of the opensource community that will be unleashed upon them in the next few months.
I am on salary where I work and I was told I would get Quarterly bonuses. I have yet to receive one of theese mystical checks, None of my co-workers have recevied them either.. I have been promoted 2 times in the last year, I guess I am doing a good job, Yet no bonus!
One of our managers slipped up one day when a computer was stolen and stated "Damnit! that's going to come out of our bonus again" This leads us to believe only upper managment is receiving a bonus although we were all told we would be getting a bonus quarterly..
We commonly hear " You guys need to get sales up or we will not have a bonus this quater " Then we hear nothing!! Not even hey we didn't make enough to give out a bonus this quarter, nothing..
Yes we should ask about our bonus, but honestly I think we all fear our current economy and don't want to make any waves, But is it not wronge for them to simply dismiss something we were told we would receive? When I took my job I figured in my salary + my vacation + my estimated bonus.. All the sudden I feel robbed when I reflect on it. Especially when I am praised for the great work I am doing, if I want lip service I will go on a date.
Let me close by saying, I like my job. In fact I have turned down higher paying positions simply because I like my working environment. But when times get tight I start to ask myself if I should be looking for employment elsewhere.
Ummmmmm I pay for my internet connection.. I go to public websites, How am I stealing by blocking ther ad's? good samaritan law? Get real.. Theese people are exploiting the internet and STEALING MY BANDWIDTH! not to mention annoying me to no end by setting up popup's to respawn when i close them...
I read about this early this morning..
Lindows sent this our this morning to all the Lindows Developers...
Imagine an Etch-A-Sketch size computer on the front of your refrigerator or maybe on the coffee table in your living room. Anytime you want movie times, sport scores, news headlines, or need to check your email, you'll have a handy, battery-operated, wirelessly-networked computer ready for your use. This is what the tablet computer is all about. We've been working on a tablet computer running LindowsOS, which should be ready near the first part of the year. (See below for how you can signup to hear about their release first.)
I wanted to share with you some of our thoughts to get your feedback on where we're headed in the tablet market. I think you'll see our thinking about these devices may be different from others.
Coming soon - LindowsOS Tablet PC
1) Tablet computers will need to be close to $500 to be practical.
The LindowsOS Tablet PC will be around this price! Newly announced tablet computers are debuting with big price tags in the $2,000 to $3,000 range. While there will always be some techno-elite who purchase the latest toys no matter what the price, most people can't justify such costs. To reach the masses, tablets need to be substantially below $1,000. Anything priced higher will simply be a novelty and something you won't want to risk spilling coffee on.
2) Tablet computers will not replace desktops or laptops (and no all-in-one type of computers).
If you've ever used a laptop's tiny screen or keyboard or fumbled with their abbreviated pointing device, you'll appreciate the old adage that bigger sometimes is better. Cramming everything into a tiny form function (which tablets need in order to be useful) makes general computing more difficult. Furthermore, people like keyboards. In my book, they're essential. Even a poor typist can outpace a fast hand writer. A tablet computer's usefulness will be primarily used as an easily accessible informational display device. Tablets won't be used for any intensive computing work. Instead, it will be used to go places where desktops or expensive laptop can't, due to price or bulkiness. Tablets will supplement desktops and laptops, not replace them, and only that if they are at a low, attractive price.
3) Handwriting recognition won't work reliably enough to be practical.
Have you ever gotten a letter from your grandmother? The cursive writing was probably impressively precise. Now, compare that with the last letter from a friend. If you're under 40 you probably can't remember getting one, because written letters have largely been preempted by Email messages. So, think back to the last greeting card. Chances are the writing was fairly poor. That's because there's a lot less emphasis on handwriting in school and in business as much of today's communication is keyboard driven. As a consequence, handwriting has gotten sloppier making even the most accurate software unusable.
4) Even if we could perfect handwriting recognition, people wouldn't use it.
Just because a particular technology becomes possible doesn't mean people will flock to use it. Voice navigation is now quite good, but that doesn't mean that people are talking to their computers. In fact, I know of virtually no one who regularly uses voice navigation, despite the fact that many predicted widespread adoption years ago. Sometimes, it's not just because of technical challenges why people don't perform a task a certain way. Even if hand writing on screens performed flawlessly, it doesn't mean that's what people will want to do. People like keyboards. People need keyboards. They are efficient. My kids will always be more proficient typists than writers. Society has made a remarkable transition over the last 20 years as the computer has taken hold (and before that with the typewriter). Younger folks have keyboard mentalities. It's primarily 40-plus-year-olds, who grew up in handwriting eras, who believe that handwriting will play a major role in computing. Active cursive writers are the very same people who are least likely to own computers and will be the last people to plunk down $3,000 for a tablet PC. The LindowsOS tablet will be an affordable device priced close to $500 - which is where it needs to be to gain mass market acceptance. It will supplement the PC and laptop already in use by providing a handy way to get quick access to information in a wireless manner.
By using the low-cost solution that LindowsOS provides, we'll be making these devices at a much more affordable price. If you're thinking about how you could use a tablet computer be sure and sign up for our tablet mailing list to be notified first when we ship the LindowsOS tablet.
