  2. Re:No Calls, Period on FCC To Enforce Do Not Call List, Not FTC · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually.....

    In the US calls placed to a residential land line are paid for by the caller.

    Calls places to a cell phone are paid for by the caller AND have the potential to use the cells mins.. hence why it is illegal to call cell phones for telemarketing.

    You can buy books that describe how you *could* do all sorts of illegal activities, ya know, for "educational" purposes only. How is this any different??

    We ACUTALLY have a task force dedicated to this?

  7. A little bit of insight.. on New Breed Of Web Accelerators Actually Work · · Score: 4, Funny

    Netzero offered this a while ago (maybe they still do). Basically it does speed up loading of pages greatly, however there is a drawback, and a big one at that, the pictures look like crap. The GIFs/JPEGs/etc are compressed. Compressed so much to the extent that they look like, for lack of better terms, crap. A rule of thumb applies here, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You really cant expect broadband speed for the cost of a dial up, and if you do I have some lovely penis pills to sell you for the low low price of 69.95.

  8. Interesting Idea on Self-Parking Car Available In Japan · · Score: 3, Funny

    How about we adapt this technology so that it automatically detects if the parking spot is for a handicapt or not. If the owner parks illegally in one of these spots, the car backs the F$&K over them.

  9. IIIEEEEE!!! on Videogames Attract More Women Than Boys? · · Score: 1

    In addition, the main group of gamers is getting older.... And you can look at the way game focuses have changed as a result....

    My host is set up so that all emails recieved that have no account (invalid email address) are forwarded to an account with a quota of 1K. Of course the quota is full, so it is an instant bounce. Problem solved. Hope this may help you.

  12. Immunity Is Relative. on Mac's Immunity To Recent Virus Attacks · · Score: 0, Troll

    A fair portion of out user base (I work for an ISP as a lowly Tech Rep.) is out of service because of the blaster virus (worm) adn its variants, obviously a Mac does not get infected by it, however, the people using a Mac are still getting slowdown related to the worm. Immunity is only defined by your weakest link.

  13. The US already has this capability. on Japan's Proposed 30-Year Robot Program · · Score: 1

    It is called exporting jobs to "prospective markets" like China where we can get real 5 yeard olds to do the job. No investment is necessary for the US in that regard

  14. Human Nature... on Recommend Apple, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Self Interest is human nature. Are you REALLY going campaign for a product that will possibly help you meet your own economic demise?? Chances are no, especially if they clientel (sp?) are easily swayed and lack knowledge.

  20. Netgear MR814 = good on Wireless Access Point Reliability? · · Score: 1

    I have been using this for about 6 mos without a hitch. It is 4port/wireless. I run 2 wireless and 2 wired PCs and have not had to reboot it in about 3 months, and the only reason I had to was my cable modem went down. All of the netgear products I have used in the past have been great.

    I would highly rec. this router.

  21. Direct from the Article.... on House Bill to Make File-Sharing an Automatic Felony · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Content like movies, music and software are the country's No. 1 export, but the creators are being hurt by people who use technology to get the content for free, Conyers said.

    I see, so passing this bill into law will clearly prevent people in foreign countries that are not subject to US laws from sharing and downloading files. Right.
