if they were estimated to have stolen $11k each I think that they should have gotten what they did.
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT UNCAPPING YOUR MODEM IS WRONG. "Maybe the worst that would have happened was getting disconnected..."
How about the collective theft of all the other people that were getting screwed b/c these people were stealing THEIR bandwith?
Oh, he was only getting 128k downstream... I used to live in the Toledo, OH area and worked with multiple people using Buckeye-Express. ALL of them had NO complaints. If you had a problem you would call up (and due to the fact that it was ALL local) the problem was usually solved in short-order. So I think that if this guy was only getting 128k downstream he wasn't on the phone asking Buckeye questions.
I'm sorry, but I don't feel a thing for these people. If you stole that much money from someone, I hope that they would try to get you w/everything they could.
Search the web for "hacking cable modem config files", you'll find TFTP instructions, how to setup the cfg file, etc. HACKING is illegal and punishable.
Again, no sympathy. I just want my whatever bandwith. I don't want it to goto hell b/c someone else hacks their cfg file.
RedHat does it's own thing just like every other distribution. Unfortunatly they are more powerful commercially than the other distributions b/c of their name and their "backing".
By pulling their collective resources and talent I'd say they have a better chance of taking on Microsoft (not fighting for contracts from Walmart amoungst themselves).
If I were you, I would think about what UL is trying to accomplish. They are banding together to make a standard to compete...against RedHat, against MS, against X.
Umm, ok, so we used to have Slackware. The reason I switched from Slackware to RH back in the day was for the simple fact that I was having more and more difficult of a time running newer programs (gtk, libc6). So say one distribution gains more power and forces OLD libs to stay around... That stifles what we are trying to achieve.
I am not at all interested in paying for the crossover plugin.
The point for me of getting away from Windows is the pay factor. If I've already paid for Office, why would I want to spend ANOTHER $55 to get it to work under Linux?
I might as well keep Windows and just run it there for the same price as I paid for it.
I paid for several thousand pages of subscription viewing. I set it to 7 uses a day. I am usually well over that so the point is moot unless you set down $50+.
Yes, basically I was hoping that if I put some money into/., my annoyances would be heard. I have never directed them solely at Malda as he has enough email to sort through.
All the +4 and +5 posts complaining about Michael and the poor editing I am sure get noticed.
Does it matter if we paid or not? No, it's still Malda's site and he can do what he likes w/it.
The least they could do was change their title from "editors".
If I had money, I would contribute when my subscription runs out. It's not for the lack of ads, it's to keep/. going so I don't have to search elsewhere for SOME of the news I read here.
w/the bottom up provisioning that is already in place w/ATTBI, I doubt that there will be much of a problem moving over to Comcast (as long as Comcast keeps the provisioning model the same, which I can't see why they wouldn't).
From @Home -> ATTBI they tried to manually put everyone into the provisioning database, but couldn't w/anyone that had a proprietary modem (Motorola Cybersurfer Wave, COM21 proprietary, some LANCity's).
So when AT&T RoadRunner when to ATTBI all the users had to do was call and get the instructions, some of them actually recieved instructions in the mail (that most people here would have no problems following).
there is a web page called the SAS registration page. You goto that site (w/a proxy set temporarily) and the site grabs your MAC address from the modem and allows you access to the new network.
PRAY that Comcast keeps this. The changeover will be mostly painless.
Comcast was telling the CSRs that they would have more concentration on GOOD customer service and less problems... They WANT to keep customers, not ignore them till they leave.
why are you glad you got DSL? 768k/128k service for the same cost as 1.5/256k (or more if you are RoadRunner)?
Explain to me how what you have is better? I had DSL for years before cable was available in NW Ohio. I would NOT switch back, ever.
I had RoadRunner for over a year. Rarely lost block sync, had INCREDIBLY fast speeds (close to 300k/s), and it was cheap (49.95).
I worked for ATTBI as a CSR and now unfortunatly I have to use them as my HSD service now that I have relocated to Minneapolis (AT&T area).
I still get 1.5mbs/256k, no loss of sync, and at 46.95/mo (w/my own cable modem and no CATV service)
So, w/DSL I had TWO different people I had to talk to if there was a service problem (Verizon and the ISP), neither talked to each other, and the one ALWAYS blamed the other.
80k/s or 200+ for the same price? There is no argument here.

well supposedly we have found a group of terrorists that are trying to sell 5 tons of Hash.
Now. I want you to explain to me who the fuck believes this? There isn't ANYONE on the fucking planet that has 10,000 pounds of Hash, if they did, they certainly wouldn't want to have Stinger missles.
They are invading our privacy in libraries. Rye bread anyone?
they obviously have a reason for doing it. It would be nice of them to PUBLICALLY explain it, but they obviously can't afford to, or have the desire to get the "partner" so they must continue using the standard link.
no, this is a lack of digital outputs. I am less worried about the damn security, I am worried that I will not be able to use these players w/the other devices I already have...
Now, do these morons really think that people care about "superior audio quality" when they really only want to rip/download MP3s?
The only time I am interested in SUPERIOR audio quality is when I am going to be listening to a live show (SBD), and when I am doing that, it is either already on CD, SHN, etc, or on tape (Nakamichi).
MP3s are for people that want to download music to enjoy, not to worry about sound quality. Only people who are SERIOUS about sound quality would buy these players, and I am already sure they haven't used MP3s too much.
so you are going to pay MORE for 70 channels of garbage when you could have 125 for less? There is a thing called "ADD/DELETE" where you can remove the crap (HSN, etc).
Why would you pay more for 70 channels when you could just remove them from the scan for free?
I said that the people we elect to office vote for us on Federal law. I want it to be a State vote rather than an election.
We put these people into office for a term. What happens if public opinion changes during that term? Or for that one single vote more people want this particular item into law?
State's Rights are more important.

I would think differently about this if it was a FREE service, but it's not. I am paying to play these games online, I expect to do as I please.
It's "their service" when they offer it for free, it's "my service" when I pay a monthly fee to access it.

I don't believe that they should merge. If they did I would have to put up w/the tons of shit from Mandrake and RedHat while all I want is Debian.
What's wrong w/Mandrake? What isn't? That's my opinion and that's yours... That's why I don't want Linux distributions to merge.
Why is UL crap? b/c they are trying to band against what they believe is an attempt by one distribution to gain too much power.
I don't think that UL will gain much ground but that doesn't mean it's crap.
