I've had phone calls similar to what you describe (level 1 tech support grunt here). My favorite has to be where they call in with a game console hooked to their cable modem and expect us to troubleshoot it. A coworker even had someone refuse to hook up their PC to troubleshoot the connection.
I'll have to echo this myself. I remember using Winamp in the days of Napster when it was just a baby (both were). It was the best in the day and is still the best (for audio). For video I normally use Media Player Classic.
A reality TV show based on a game that's based on real life that's based on a TV show, based on a game, based on real life, TV show.... *head explodes*
This might kill certain services, but none that would be liable to adversely affect the typical residential customer. Are you nuts? It would kill bi-directional VoiP (such as Vonage), which requires certain ports, and a lot of them. Vonage has over 400,000 customers as of 01/05/05; a lot of them will be pissed if their service was unusable.
people who are highly inconvenienced by the change would have to upgrade their ISP accounts to "corporate" levels, paying a higher fee. Let's think about this: if people want to do something, they will do it. If they want to use P2P apps, then they will upgade the account. How does that really block P2P use? All it really does is force people to pay more for a service they already use.
All models offer straightforward user customization capabilities to meet changing needs
Cisco IP Phones 7971G-GE and 7970G support IEEE 802.3af PoE
Cisco IP Phones 7970G, 7960G, 7940G, 7910G, 7910G + SW, 7912G, 7905G and 7902G can accept Cisco pre-standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a card integrated with a Catalyst switch or a Catalyst in-line power patch panel
Cisco IP Phone 7971G-GE includes two 10/100/1000BaseT switch interfaces to ensure quality of service (QoS)
Cisco IP Phones 7970G, 7960G, 7940G, 7910G + SW, and 7912G include two-port 10/100BaseT switch interfaces to ensure quality of service (QoS)
Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 delivers up to six extensions, wireline voice quality, small form factor, standard and extended Li-ion battery options, menu driven graphical user interface, and inter-campus secure-seamless roaming
Cisco IP Phone 7902G, is a cost-effective, single-line, entry-level IP phone addressing the voice communications needs of a lobby, laboratory, manufacturing floor, or hallway--or other areas where only basic calling capability is required
We have the Cisco IP Phones 7940 series here at work. They're supposed to stay up a while from our UPS (but they don't, UPS might be faulty). Last time our power went out we were able to use our phones for 15 minutes.
In August, WordPress had 4% market share of the blogging software community, whereas Moveable Type had 7%. Yes, I realize that Blogger (at 30%) and LiveJournal (at 23%) are the reigning kings, but I'm speaking of software you can install and host yourself; both Blogger and LiveJournal are hosted services.
Except that the other party, if given the chance, would probably reject the counter-offer; this offer was made with no knowledge of the other party, therefore any transaction made in such matter is null and void.
While I see why this is funny, rememeber: you have millions of people playing the lottery, so the chance is definitely very likely someone will win. This isn't the case in the probability of this particular giant rock hitting the Earth; there's only one.
I'm not under any misconceptions, just didn't catch myself making a typo. Yes, I know it's possible to use the port for something other than what it's intended for, but why would it?
I had the security suite (but got rid of it, unrelated story). I don't buy it that it's just using a "random port" that gets identified as an e-mail port; the only port usually used and identified as an e-mail port is 110 (to send mail).
You might want to take Gnucleus off the list, or look into it a little more clearly. On more than a few occasions Zonealarm caught it trying to send e-mails out. To who, I don't know.
I'm probably going to get modded off-topic for asking this, but thanks for making me realize what it means when someone says comparing 'apples to oranges'. I remember thinking, 'wtf do apples and oranges have to do with [insert random conversation].' Now I know, thanks!
Ok, so back on topic. YaST (for SuSE) is horrible at resolving dependencies. On several occasions I've had it try to get old files from the cds, as opposed to using the new ones that were already set as a yast-source and were available. On one occasion it wanted to copy a file from the SuSE 9.2 disc 5 German!
That should be 5GB, not 5MB, otherwise it wouldn't be much of an Ipod-mini killer. Speaking of which, can we stop calling every portable audio device that? If it's cool, it's cool. It brings more choice to the consumer. But why should the Ipod die? For some people it's what they want, for others it's not. Okay, buy a different player. Sheesh
Whenever you're on top, someone always tries to bring you down.
Overall it's a cool app, and has it's purposes, but for everyday surfing it is god-awful slow (since it goes through proxies). And yes, I have RFTA and used the program. No, I'm not new here.
World of Warcraft plays on Mac OSX. I'd say that's one of "this fall's hottest games" (since it came out in Nov.).
What are the game's system requirements? [...] Mac® System OS X 10.3.5 OS:
* 933 MHz or higher G4 or G5 processor
* 512 MB RAM or higher; DDR RAM recommended
* ATI or NVIDIA video hardware with 32 MB VRAM or more
* 4 GB or more of available hard drive space
* MacOS X 10.3.5 or newer
* 56k or higher modem with an Internet connection
... And they're right. (the usual disclaimer: IANAL). It is 100% legal to have Kazaa. Even after you get infringing content with it, the program itself is still legal.

Replace "Better call my tech boy genius neighbor!" with "Better call my ISP! They can fix anything! They will fix anything!"
Seriously. People call their ISP tech support whenever their PC gets slow, regardless if it's slow when they're actually using the Internet or not.
Anyways, back on topic. I downloaded the last beta lite version of eXeem, and I couldn't find a damn thing I wanted.

I think you mean "Ranked from least crackable to most crackable"
Unless you're some Jew who thinks he's reading Hebrew (read right to left), but then you'd have to change the text:
Linux<Solaris<Glass<Windows
Hrm...

Yeah, it is odd. Guess someone has a beef with my "excellent" karma rating. Metamoderate will hopefully fix it.
For your viewing pleasure.

Moveable Type --> WordPress
Although I think WordPress is almost or at Stage 6.

Most major ISPs actively search out people who are spamming. The ISP I work for (which is sort of a meta-ISP) does this.
