    to carry around a laptop or burner that will just get destroyed/stolen.
    I would use maybe 10 256MB CF cards and bring a $10 usb card reader
    the large number of CF cards also provides a small measure of "redundancy"

  9. Kerio on Zone Alarm 5 Beta Review · · Score: 4, Informative

    I have found that Zone Alarm (in past versions) would sometimes block ALL traffic on a whim.
    No explanation from the software, no warning, and damned difficult to figure out what to to correct it.

    There were other odd issues that resolved themselves after uninstalling.
    I tried Kerio because they took over an awesome product (TinyPF 4) .

    I was pleasantly surprised to find that Kerio is the nicest firewall software I have ever used.
    Includes pop-up blocking, application level permissions with MD5, and is very configurable. Nice looking (very important to style conscious surfers;). Low resource usage.

    ZoneAlarm is gonna have to knock my socks off to get me to switch.

    p.s. Has anyone tried TinyPF 5 ?? Im wondering how it compares.

    I don't know much about VoIP

    You can talk directly to another person. No service provider is needed.

  12. Re:Technically, how would this be possible? on Senate Mulls Internet Tax Ban - VoIP Exempt? · · Score: 1

    Why would they get into all that when they can just tax all internet connections equally ? A flat VoIP tax avoids all of that technical crap and gets them what they want. Revenue.

  13. Re:What I would really like for VoIP... on Senate Mulls Internet Tax Ban - VoIP Exempt? · · Score: 1

    Awesome point, and in fact, some computer based pbx systems implement something similar. By pluggin a cell phone into a special cradle and the cradle into a port on the pbx, anybody with an extension on the pbx can make outgoing calls on that cell phone.
    The cell phone becomes a "trunk".

    You are right, once things like this become more common the market will explode.
    Plus its just cool as hell.

    They dont exist. Its a "lesser of two evils" situation and has always been. mostly.

  17. Re:Go home on Senate Mulls Internet Tax Ban - VoIP Exempt? · · Score: 1

    I must have missed your point. If they tax ALL internet connections with a VoIP tax, where do you go for a "blackmarket" connection ??

  18. Re:Skype? on Senate Mulls Internet Tax Ban - VoIP Exempt? · · Score: 1

    tax all internet connections, just like federal taxes on POTS lines. In other words, everybody will pay whether it benefits them or not.
