Depends on whether or not your ISP is a telco or a cable company. This maybe out dated but dialup and DSL run over telephone lines and are title IV of the FCC cable is not.
Blocking either spam or phishing sites could be considered censorship by the way. You can talk about protected speech but as soon as you classify some speech as protected and other as not you start down a slippery slope. As far as ISP doing the blocking, it's a matter of practicality as much as we try we haven't really put a dent in phishing sites or spam. Someone who wants kiddi p()rn is going to find it. the danger is that other speech may get knocked out as collateral damage, intentionally or not.
I don't know about you but I get most of my certs through my internet connection.
The only problem I see my ISP having is the initial install when all the old certs on my machine go belly up. After that they could very easily proxy a man in the middle.
That's why I don't do comerse over the internet.
What CD I don't think Dells come with a CD anymore they have a partition on the hard drive with a DVD image. The DVD just puts it back to where it was when you bought it.
Was the strain of corn developed for food or industrial purposes. It seems unlikely that if the corn was an industrial crop (laced with a Pharmaceuticals or as a source of an oil to be used in manufacture) that anyone would be shocked that it was toxic.
On the other hand with these strains in the wild and Gene stacking the horrors could be unimaginable.
I don't know if all of these still exist. Sun/solaris SGI hp/hp-ux ibm/aix....
I think it would be clearer to say that the Intel PC is the only computer system that supports multiple O.S. (and before you answer I'm not sure of this either.)
I don't think that you can get memory in a few K anymore, and software is like a gas it grows to fill the space around it. Back in the day you could find a 1-2-4 MHz 8 bit processor with a few K of ROM and RAM. Now, the entry level is hundreds of MHz and gigs of RAM. And, this is the cheaper solution. Try this price out a 386 there may still be some available NEW but they still cost about $2000 fully configured like it's 1985(good luck with the hard drive). On the other hand 64bit processors are going for a few hundred. JACEM.
I don't know if they fixed this but there where problems with the early low end DSL/cable modem router VPNs where the machines had to be from the same vendor/manufacturer. I never experienced this myself so it may not be true. I did have problems with very early wireless cards not communicating across vendors.
The problem is that people don't eat Holsteins we milk them. So is this entire experiment to produce a cow that can be safely fed to other cows when it no longer produces milk?
Problem is, that's going to plateau. At some point they'll reach that point where to gain any inroads they have to start replacing all the corporate Dells, Compaqs and IBMs - then their growth will slow dramatically, "rightly" or "wrongly".
With the quality I've been seeing from Dell and HP (Compaq) I'd have to say that they are ripe for replacement.
I did rtfa but I hadn't heard of Zudeo before. Is it a pay per download site? I wondered why they were bothering to DRM. I am also now wondering how a pay per use P2P system is going to work. I take it that I'm loning my bandwidth to the content company as a favor or something.
To add to your point. Letters in seeled envelopes {sp} are protected postcards are not. If I send a postcard I can't assume that only the addressed recipient will turn it over and read it. But, I can assume the the seeled envelope will arrive seeled.
I remember having this very conversation with Jebbadiah back in 18 aught 6.
I think the real truth of articals like this is that the Open Source movement has really shown that the big OS and Software comapanies can't sustan themselves. I mentioned this on another down with M$ chat a few weeks ago. There really has not been any productivity ware innovation in over a decade that has gotten me excited.
Most of them like clippy (do you remember clippy. I remember clippy ) have really just pissed me off. In 1991-92 my freashman non numerical computing term final project was to write a simple word proccesser with spell check. The hardest part was dealing with the screen. (we were band from using curses.)
So with all of the graphics toolkits and widget libraries most modern word proccessors are little more than a text entry area and a lot of bloat.
To throw some punches as linux. Tannenbaum wrote minix as a simple OS his students could poke at in class.
Businesses do a lot of word processing and some spreadsheet and DB stuff. From the business point of view windows 3.11 and a WYSIWYG word processor is about all I need. As a business person I haven't been excited about any new features in productivity ware since about 1992.
The girl before her in the articale said L$ 1000.00 minimum per trick, she implied more. I think that is where my confusion came from as well. I don't know the exchange off of my head.
I also relized that I did not take into account the 20% that the club keeps and the 3.8% the SL keeps.

Not even a job where you can screw up another company and get another multi-million-dollar severance package, without doing anything?
The problem is that if you do that too too much you get to spend a few years in a federal country club.
