So, why not become an ISP?
With yourself as your sole customer.
Don't know what exactly that entails from a legal perspective, but if it gives you standing under CAN-SPAM, it may be worth looking into.
Good Luck.
I had actually suggested to someone at Yahoo recently that *they* explore closer ties to Mozilla. But I think you're right -- it makes more sense for Google to do so. Disruptive innovations, and all that. It would be much harder for Yahoo to do it, as they are too closely tied to IE. Google could do it, leapfrogging Yahoo in the process.
Does this mean that companies inside the US will now be able to call me at home using VOIP and skirt the DNC list?
Does this also mean that it's now cheap and easy for companies outside the US to call me at home using VOIP, and the FCC can't touch them?
From Diebold's press release
: "Today, the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, based on the analysis by RABA Technologies, concludes that the March primary election can be held successfully without any changes to the Diebold Election Systems software."
From the Washington Post Article: "Linda H. Lamone, the administrator of the Maryland State Board of Elections, assured lawmakers that the board would comply with many of the recommendations but said that some of them would be impossible to put in place before the primary."
Similarly, PeopleSoft enterprise applications "support" both IE and Netscape, but "recommend" IE. Even though PeopleSoft 8+ has no client-side Java (unlike Ora Apps), it still renders better in IE.
You don't need encryption for protection from wiretaps in those situations,
the spooks are already required to disconnect (or ditch-and-not-listen-to any recording) the instant they realize it's a call that is unrelated to the matter being investigated.
So, if I start a phone call w/ something unrelated, they must stop listening, allowing me to talk about something related? What am I missing? Who says crime doesn't pay?
Florida is not the only place where electronic voting isn't working well. Fairfax County Virginia, high tech and relatively affluent, can't get it right either.

The law is designed to address the array of
things that can go wrong with the voting process
and equipment, and ensure that the intent of the
voter is paramount to any vagueries introduced
by the equipment or counting procedures.
How
anyone could think this is a bad thing (unless
they were in the process of exploiting such
vagueries) is beyond me...
HELLO! This law (and not the ballot itself) was the problem during the last presidential election. What the law needs to do is to specify what is and is not a vote (entirely punched out, indented, hanging on by no more than 1 thread, VOTE button pushed and confirmation received, etc.) instead of lazily abdicating that responsibity and asking human beings to somehow divine the "intent" of the voter. The original poster is correct.
And how could anyone thing the USA PATRIOT Act was a bad thing unless they were a terrorist.
I just got a cheap cross-cut shredder from Staples for $27.94 plus, and there is an $8 mail-in rebate to boot. And yes, they have a nice little Prevent Identity Theft sign next to their shredders.
I originally used Mosaic ~10 years ago, then Netscape for a couple of years, then IE. Until today. I just "installed" Mozilla Firebird, and am using it now. I will not be using IE again. Ever.
The potential for fraud based on this flaw is greater than all that has come before.
Weren't there a couple of start-ups here in the US whose business model was similar? I think they are all gone now -- BroadBand Office (BBO) is the only one I remember.

Ha. They don't know their target market very well, do they?
We don't RTFA.

A recent episode of Law & Order made a none-too-flattering mention of FISA. Anyone else see it? Who's the big privacy advocate there?
Or you find cost savings by eliminating unnecessary expenses
It's worth even less now
No, "hostile" would be running over Pluto with a parade float. Oops.
Not sure I agree w/ your premise. How may times have we heard complaints about no one in Redmond being able to write a decent browser?

Washington Technology makes your NPR reporter look like "60 Minutes meets Michael Moore". Staff "writer" Gail Repsher Emery basically regurgitates Diebold's spinsational press release in her article.
From Diebold's press release : "Today, the Maryland Department of Legislative Services, based on the analysis by RABA Technologies, concludes that the March primary election can be held successfully without any changes to the Diebold Election Systems software."

I know who I believe.

This is the end, my beautiful friend, the end.
