Natural disasters that can affect the whole planet are known to
scientists as "global geophysical events" -- gee-gees, for short -- and
they come in two kinds: ones you might be able to do something useful
about, and ones you can't. When governments are faced with the first kind,
they can respond quite sensibly.
Yes, but when have we known the governments to respond sensibly about an upcoming major disaster?
"I would like to see higher upload speeds because it's really annoying to try and telecommute at 384k -- I'd say that an even meg would be about right -- but do we really need more download bandwidth?"
That was my point.:-) Download speeds aren't complainable at the moment. I would love to have 1 meg up, at least, so I could effectively share home movies and such. Sending an compressed HD home movie from a cable user to another is still an agonizing ordeal.
And how hard would it be to call techsupport and have them send you a new modem cause yours doesn't work?
Personally, I'd love to try this. I just wish the US ISPs would open their eyes and allow us higher speeds, like almost the rest of the world.
I just pushed out (most of) SP2 to about 3900 clients. I've only had a few come back dead.
Usually that's because they were running odd, off-the-approved-list software.
What if your legit copy was just stepped on and you didn't make a backup?
What if you don't own the equipment to reproduce a copy of it?
What if...
What if...
What if...
I mean, this is like trying to do a live push of Red Hat Enterprise 3 to Fedora Core 2. It just wouldn't work.
Did they honestly expect an upgrade like to work as planned? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to higher some $8 an hour techs and have a planned migration schedule? Seems like that would have been MUCH cheaper.

What about adding encryption with a fall-back deniability feature? (Example, the Off The Record plugin for GAIM)
An ILEC is a telephone company that was providing local service when the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was enacted.
Now, if it could seemlessly integrate with the GSM/GPRS setup already in place with most providers, I'd be all over it.
The buoys are already existing... What's not to say this is just a way for them to publicly disclose that they're using these buoys for that?
The coast guard is in charge of the buoys. They can use them as they see fit.
Not lucky...
I have twin 19" Samsungs that are about a year and half old which have not dead pixels and I have a 20" at work with no dead pixels either.
Why?
Look at how far linux has came in the last 3-5 years.
Like where? No where on Earth is less likely than others, just less likely to experience the same as others.

We don't have those luxurious ISPs in Florida... The fastest (most cost effective) you can find here is 3.0/384K. DSL is still around 1.5/264K.

That's easy in linux.

So...
Here's dd for Windows for most

I'd never heard of him until today....
I doubt I'll remember him tomorrow.
How is that any different?
Why would this be a problem?
You just change your MSI package to the updated one and on next boot/login it'll repair itself and in the process the patch will be applied.
It's no different than other third-party software packages.
Yeah, or in another way...
They are putting billions of dollars into finding new ways to inundate us with advertisements even though we pay for the content we are watching.

If you run XP SP2, IE does this.... You have to whitelist a website before it will install anything.

I'm going to go with some joke.
There is no way they could find that out unless the criminal had an IQ of 70 and then he's lucky to get out of the house with pants on.
Is it me, or does it seem like they are being a bit extreme in this affair... Since when was copyright infringement a criminal offense?
and this was Microsoft's fault how?

Exactly... but, What's wrong with portage? It seems to work fine.
and if you're running a White-Box PC you probably have a valid license affixed to a sticker on the top side of your case...
...This looks free to me...
