What about scam calls made _WITHIN_ AT&T or Comcast? Are they going to be screened or not?
Scammers have so much power (as in admin rights), they can switch their calls thru any switch.
Easy fix. Given that AT&T and Comcast, _ALLOW_ callerID spoofing. Scammers have total control over their victim's caller ID display.
The fix is to _DISALLOW_ spoofing. Switch it off.
Dear Mr. Freer,
PayTV is for paying for programming without commercials.
With the addition of pause commercials, will you eliminate or reduce viewers' subscription fees?
May viewers opt out of pause ads? If not, why not?
Will your addition of pause ads result in complicity between Hulu, AT&T* and other payTV providers to do likewise? In other words,
will your implementation of pause ads trigger a collective end to commercial-free payTV.
*Obviously you're already complicit with AT&T.
For Google employees with time on their hands,
I can certainly set up a flow of emails between
2 different google accounts. Such emails can
contain images and descriptions of my latest
COLONOSCOPY for their perverted reading enjoyment.
A number of years ago, USAA Insurance replaced its IT staff with H-1B replacements from India. US employees were required to train their replacements as a condition of unemployment benefits. Local news caught up with the incident and the story made the newspaper and was broadcast on local TV. USAA senior vice president argued on TV that Hindu replacement workers bring skills that do not exist anywhere in the US. They got those skills from the US citizens who were fired in their favor.
According to the news, a while back, Tata Corporation has the capacity to send an additional 10 million [indentured] H-1B replacement workers as fast as the airlift and sealift can transport them. If Hillary had been elected, this would be happening already.
The solution is to terminate the H-1B program and repatriate replacement workers back to India.
H-1B advocates argue that they would retaliate by increasing offshoring from India (never mind they already do this).
When I lived in HNL a number of years ago, HI was considered to have fastest IP in the US, unless the main HNL-SFO Pacific Undersea Cable went offline. The backup cable or switching to SATCOM was noticeably slower until the main cable was brought back online. Upon moving to the US mainland, IP was noticably slower. Gamers experiencing latency should ask their ISP which undersea cable is being used or if its switched to SATCOM.
Hi,
Certification for emergency evacuation requires a test of real people evacuating in less than a specified amount of time. These tests are done with all airline employees as passengers, all physically fit, all alert, all expecting the drill to occur, and with no luggage. More seats means more less-physically fit passengers, clueless and sleepy passengers, kids, handicapped pax, and lots and lots of luggage and obstructions. Make safety the number 1 reason for seat minimums.
Your're not gonna silence the other guy's loud car stereo, instead you're gonna launch him about 40 feet into the air! The FCC might tend to frown on you if they see you doing it; If you want to rule the airways for several blocks around your vehicle on all frequencies AM and FM simultaneously, and even screw up the guys CD audio, just build a spark gap transmitter and transmit either CW or voice (if you could call it that).
The more RF output power the better! You could even connect a dynamotor to your auto fan belt (run it in tandem with your generator) and pump out 1000 watts+ RF! Then you'll bring the whole bay area to its knees! I think you might want to place your iPod in a well shielded box or just leave it at home while using the spark gap. This is technology from the 1920's !!
Here's a sample schematic:

Oh yeah, be real careful - RF burns are no fun.
Is her attorney incompetent or does she even have one? If what she did was criminal, she would be in juvenile detention. If it is civil, as we're told, then she hasn't reached her age of majority. She cannot enter into an implied contract, or has contract law changed to include minors? Why didn't her attorney argue this?
Furthermore, since she hasn't reached her age of majority, why can't her agreement to pay the RIAA be declared non-binding? If her Mom entered into a contractual agreement to pay the RIAA as a result of intimidation, why can't her attorney get that set aside or whatever?
Did RIAA enter the dwelling with or without a search warrant, and stand there and watch her download the files? If not, then what is the evidence or how is the evidence substiantiated? Why didn't her attorney argue this point? Oh, are RIAA employees duly sworn and deputized to perform law enforcement? If so, then why the lawsuit in lieu of handcuffs?
If the downloaded files are to be used under the provision of the Fair Use Clause of the copyright law, then why doesn't her attorney let it go to trial and (after arguing age of majority) argue fair use? Given her age, would such a civil case even go to trial?
Besides Dell/Microsoft, who were the other bidders for the contract? Was the invitation to bid on the contract properly published? Was the functional description properly quarantined and then simultaneously distributed to interested bidders? Were non-disclosure procedures adhered to during the functional description phase? What contractor had the contract for publishing the functional description? What were the standards in their statement of work? How long were each of the bidding organizations given to examine the functional description and prepare their proposals? Besides Dell/Microsoft, who were the top finalists and how were their proposals different from Dell/Microsoft? Why were two closely related companies awarded the contract? Why didn't the unsuccessful bidders file protests in accordance with government contractacting procedures? In other words, was the execution of the functional description so perfect that there are no possiblee grounds to protest? --- What comes to mind is another (back in the 80's and 90's) big government computer contract where the functional description phase took over 4 years (and massive amounts of man hours), then the selection phase took 2-3 years. How can the process now be so fast and so perfect?
Gimme a break, Apple, and anyone else who claims to have recently invented fast user switching!
Fast user switching worked fine on the Raytheon PTS-100, The IBM equivalent to the PTS-100, and the ARINC (I don't recall the model) since before 1975. You could have up to 5 users simultaneously logged in and switch between users with just 2 keystrokes, ie. "ba, bb, bc, bd, or be."
So, Apple is going to slap a patent on something that has been in use for nearly 30 years? Hellllooooo! Anybody upstairs?
