    Sure, call MSFT.

    Give them your credit card.

    Then they will tell you that the services running

    Well, we would first have to know how the kapastanr

    Notationally speaking, the general range is usually

    We ship only via FooEx yesterday space transit

    They could make the configuration a bit easier.

    For instance, usb port in the wireless
    router. Telnet to the device to configure, have all the
    configuration data generated by the router written to a
    USB drive in a ( hopefully standard ) way. Then walk
    the drive over to each of the machines that you want to have
    connected, and have an app on the machine that is installed
    when you install the drivers suck the data off the drive
    and configure the client. Key length would be less of an
    issue. Key exchange would be easy, and hard to intercept.

    Why do we have this thing called 'rule of law'?
    So that it can be set aside when it is most needed?
    The whole checks and balances thing is there for a
    reason.

    Why dont you cut to the chase, and just lobby to have
    President Bush granted permananent dictatorial powers now?

    The NSA wiretaps may well be there to fight terrorism,
    but there are many other things they can be misused for.
    And it would not be the first time, either, in fact, I
    would think that if this was used *only* for what the
    publicly stated purpose is, that would be a first.

    There are allegations that ex President Clinton misused
    FBI data for political ends. Do you believe that President
    Bush is entirely above that? If so, *WHY*? Did you
    write his code?

    Would you trust any President with this power? Or just
    President Bush? If so, *WHY*? If not, then what happens
    when he is out of office?

    As to a plausible reason why he would do that,
    "political advantage", "personal gain".

    With "health maintainance organizations" ( insurance companies )
    in the driver's seat, doctors feel rushed to churn out as many
    patients as possible. So, I suppose they ( insurance companies

    time the doc spends at the table.

    Believe me when I tell you that things like
    you relate inspired my comment. As a developer,
    I would love to do things right, give them all
    they want and then some, on or before the
    release date, but the bean counters and PBH's
    will not listen, they just keep shooting themselves
    in the foot, then blaming it on dev. ( No, dev
    is not perfect ).

    In my case, my current project is an example
    of not doing it right the first time costing them.
    Several parts of this app have been redone
    several times ( at the last minute, and great
    expense ). They got what they wanted in the end,
    but it was more expensive than it should have
    been.
