A couple problems with this. I have been getting fax calls at all hours of the day (the 3am ones really suck) for the past 4 years since I got this phoneline. The last time it was a fax line was in 1999, several owners previous to myself. The calls come in 3 at a time spaced 15-20 minutes apart.
First of all, I would have to hook up a fax (my laptop) to figure out who is sending these in order to assault them. But no matter how many times I call and tell them that it is a phone line and not a fax, they will not stop. And they are not from within the US so no authorities that I have contacted are willing to do anything about them. The authorities do not consider the calls to be harassment either, but I greatly disagree when my sleep is interrupted at least once a week.
Secondly, anonymous caller blocking costs money here as opposed to being a nice free service. Sure it is $3/month, but I am a grad student with a family and every $ needs to be saved.
Not to trumpet my favorite distro, but the widely heralded Gentoo that everyone is talking about supports AMD64 quite nicely (and has for a while now). I run it on my Opteron at work (my laptop is only a P4M).

Nice in an ideal world.Yup, you are certainly a coward. Looks like you are the one who still runs IE. Some standard.
Too bad that link only harvests email addresses and does not provide a download....

Of all the articles to come out this week, too bad the site incur the slashdot effect.
Too bad they cannot make one of these for USAirways!
Perhaps the fact that Gates announces $100-million support to fight AIDS in India has something to do with the change of tune. That and $12.5 million to improve immunisation services.
At least all the money people sink into M$ is going somewhere good. Too bad we have less of our own money to give away ourselves.
