DSL Reports they have a routerwatch page that show a great number of high level traffic flow points, from many ISP's from consumer level to Tier1 providers. It is very UScentric though...
but they already lost a civil court battle regarding that, vs the windows for dummies books...as I recall. The term windows was determined to have become to diluted and an industry standard term. M$ Windows of course is still theirs but as far as I know it is a dead horse in the US.
errr better do some reading again..EVERY TOYOTA SOLD IN THE US HAS THE GPS UNIT, EVERY GM CAR SOLD IN THE US...I have a caddy, WE opted NOT to activate the Onstar crap, while looking for a parking spot in Vegas last month,we went around the block like nine times, the onstar rep came on and asked us if we needed help. The lady was very polite and quickly signed off but assured us that the units were activated if you payed for it or not and that to remove it would cause the airbags to not fu8nction correctly. Now I don't have it in writing but I tend to trust me EARS and experience more than FUD or not to imply you don't know but general word of mouth.
Geeze people mine won't even read if its on the floor board cause the kids were playing with it... So you pull it out to get over the bridge, then put it away, seems rather simple...The monitor you have to watch out for is the GPS unit in the black box on ALMOST EVERY CAR with airbags, it is used to help trigger the unit and can't be deactivated unless you turn off your airbags:(
or are they just really fed up with removing a piece of spyware that is part of a spyware supported app that then no longer functions and the users sceram about that as well...really can't win, but if they are loading a program and agreeing to share information FOR YOU then they should be sued into yesterday. The first thing I do when I get ANY OEM PC is format and re-install a clean image without all the OEM's 'added' value stuff which is usually POO anyways...
this guy is a troll, I work for a huge company, we just met with the RH product managers and eventually several of their Board of Directors, the off-shoot is we told them to FO, and we've taken the Linux kernel and our in-house staff has begun to personalize it. For years we were a RH house but our management FINALLY realized we don't have to take what they what to feed us we can engineer it ourselves, Our Board of Director sponsor just asked why we were not using LINUX EVERYWHERE... I consider this a total victory FINALLY:) GOOD-BYE M$, and RH WOOOOHOOOO
have to browse it via http, and the proxy that my company uses won't pass the login query back...I can inline it but I lose the connection every 10 mins then and have to keep re-authorzing. I am locked into IE with Corp Policies, so I can't even save the url with the password in it. Life in the matrix has so many regulations:)
governmental bailout Lloyd's of London, the LARGEST insurer on the planet would have indeed gone BANKRUPT following the NY tradecenter disaster. They insured indirectly all but 1 of the planes, and the one tower that was insured.
I run an FTP server with anonymous login, but I have a banner forbidding unauthorized copy or downloading of any files not legally licensed, then I login from home and play the music remotely, can't have ANY MP3's on our business network, but the spooled file never acquires the mp3 file type and is seen only as a temp file. From what I understand the banner on my FTP covers me legally, now if someone else found the server used anonymous login and downloaded what ever they wanted, I am not responsible, the downloader is not violating any laws....loophole ? or am I interpreting this all wrong ?
but the synic in me can't get around the slick marketing spin on this. I disagree about money vs time though, so many of the problems can be addressed by just some guidance, ie big brothers/sisters, or just going to the local retirement home and talking to someone for an hour or so...no cost but the impact is enormous, and so many problems have millions thrown at them which gets eaten up in admin costs and fails to address the problem but rather the most visible, and usually media hyped heart-wrenching symptoms. If more people spent time more atention would go to places like Malaysia, or perhaps the plight of the Roma in Eastern Europe. Money is good, but not a substitute for human compassion and caring. Have a good Thanksgiving DarkZero, where ever and with whomever you choose to spend it....Arch
to which the farkin ARIA(RIAA) responds, the ISP wouldn't give me their subscriber information list...sad, but shouldn't they sue the phone company and cable companies, they provide the lines....This is plain ignorant and very dangerous, the ARIA(RIAA) should provide a court enough supporting evidence to have the court issue a writ to reveal the specific users info and then ARIA(RIAA) should go after the users not the carrier, how does the phone company who HAS the ABILITY to police their lines not get sued whenever a crime is discussed or perp'd over the phones, ie CC fraud, conspiracy etc. Eventually the courts caught up with the industrial revolution, how long till they catch up to the computer revolution ? Ashcroft, Alston, gotta wonder if there isn't some genetic connection, probably anal recessive:)
that will show my compassion....try volunteering some time, don't get me wrong in-lieu of doing nothing, tossing some cash at the problem is better, but that doesn't show compassion, just guilt...
Where will you be spending your Thanksgiving day ?
I can think of nothing my mother would like more sort of me moving back home with the grandkids so she can have them everyday, in fact she'd prolly just have me ship the kids to her and the wife and I stay away....
If the web site lets her see new pictures and print them, she'd giggle for weeks. The idea is fairly good I wonder if I could host somthing simple enough to allow the rest of the family to upload images, we've had lots of grandkids in the last 18 months. My grandmother can't use the VCR still but she can pop the memory stick from her camera into the printer we got her and her house is flooded with pictures or wee little ones doing cutsie things that only family members would appreciate or care to know about. The scary thought is getting busted for child porn for the shot of little jenny having her first bath or somthing like that...
I agree, but almost anyone can tell 128 from real music quality, but there is truth in what you say, maybe DRM will actually solve this issue, let trial songs into the wild with so many downloads or plays on them...*Shrugs* still won't buy music from the big 5 record companies, and it is very difficult to ensure that, they hide the owning labels and try and fake indie like releases these days...Farkin' RIAA
we just got out of a multi mullion dollar contract because they failed to provide timely support over a 3 month period. Sadly they chose HP as a replacement and while there support centers may speak better english the hardware is CRAP CRAP CRAP....Compaq used to be solid at least, at a premium price but decent, now the stuff they send out is awful, mis-wired drive cages, mis-matched CPU's, low quality high failure rate and outrageous prices...go corporate america go...

yes this was a feature they planned to imlpement but feedback was not good. However you are probably right, nuder a secure DRM they could require the veiwing of the MANDATORY FBI warning, just like DVD's, and then also start inserting previews, and commercials etc, there would be no way to avoid it, short of cutting your connection to whats out there. The answer is a centralized DRM proxy that could front for many users, but I am sure the legal eagles have that angle covered.
I used home banking at BofA on a 14.4 modem dial up to a tandem system before any of these. Prior art abounds, at&t begs to be nationalised...King Geo will never allow that though
I gotta agree with the parent here, the quality of the average mp3 is way low anyways, so the analogy of sitting outside the concert listening is good, now the 65K questions is would it be illegal to sit outside the concert hall and record what is audible in public for your own uses or is this illegal as well ?
I work for a big company that was previously support by DEC, Compaq, Tandem, HP services, IBM Global services, Sun, and EDS, Since the HP round of mergers (DEC,CPQ,TANDEM, and HP) HAVE GONE DOWN HILL IN ALL MANNERS. Their new equipment fails out of the box OFTEN, their support structure is AWFUL, they can't delevier hardware ontime, with the correct components, their service managers blame everyone from santa claus, the jerk actually blamed christmass demand on why we couldn't get 5312 raid controller ?!?! bet lots of people asked for that one for christmas, to CE showing up with obviously incorrect parts on service calls and blaming logistics. HP is in a sad state of affairs and not likely to get better. Their own service personell hate the place. Carly the Hatchet (secretly employed by IBM) has done her job well.

Why do I need 2K/2003, XP pro has and runs ALL the same tools right down to the Active Directory tools and plugins. Don't get me wrong not just trying to Bash apple but they charge a premium for both hardware AND software, proprietary and controlled on BOTH ends, but I can use XP pro and perform everything I can under 2K except clustering and some forest prep stuff. You do have a point there though, regarding apples and oranges:)
errr I wouldn't give apple a dime for going out of business, the price I quoted is STRAIGHT from APPLE's site...sigh fact gathering folks, try it, beats wearing egg salad:) TGIF
