If AT&T => Rogers roaming is equal to Rogers => AT&T, the overall cost would be 0$ due to peering agreement. Then one would be at the mercy of your OWN phone company. In actuality, what is the peering agreement per minute? What is their actual cost?
Attaching a HSF scares you? Yeah, it can be rather nasty.
And once, on a 350MHz board, I bumped off the retainer clip. Supposedly, it screws over the whole motherboard. I just built an epoxy bridge using a piece of wire, dremeled in the side of the mount, glued in the post, and built a tab. Works even today.
Altavista's a bunch nicer BTW, as it was a demo to sell Digital computers. Its one of the few binary searchers. Google's a fuzzy search. good in many cases, but not all.
Well... I was using altavista.digital.com . Now it's some park for HP.

Your statement assumes that sharing is not related to making money.
The sentiment you share is of "pay me or nothing gets done". That works for continual labor. It is not the same for software, and you know it. The software guys play by a different game, one in which can never be understood by the big-wigs.
Why is that? The basic idea behind communism is that people (all, not a select few) control the means to produce. Because a few people made the basic tools to create, we all can create. Because we all have the capacity to create for no cost other than time (linux + GCC), contracts were implemented to boost the communistic ideal: sharing is caring.
Your system doesnt work with ours. Why exactly a problem?
I'm 43 years old. I've been futzing around with computers since before the IBM model 5150 was released -- and I had the audacity to scoff at it when it did. Furthermore I shunned Windows for quite a long time, and for the most part still do -- in the form of being ultra-conservative when it comes to Windows releases (my main desktop is still running Win2K SP4). I have programming skills (out-of-date from disuse, but it's like riding a bicycle) and I work electronics for a living for my entire adult life.
Congrats. Wanna cookie? I have a gaming machine running Win98SE. Runs faster vs framerate than others I know. I also striped it down using that remover tool.
Now that I've established my street cred for you young whippersnappers, let me tell you how it is:
I'm sure you've noticed how there's nothing new coming out of Hollywood? Just the same old stories, over and over again. They've even resorted to crappy old TV shows, trying to find a new angle. There are only so many ideas out there to build on, and in about 100 years, they've gone through them all at least once.
Most stories follow the same few plots. Its the gems that DONT come from hollywood that are the ones to see. Even "I Am Legend" was a repeat of "Omega Man", which was itself a repeat of "The Last Man on Earth". Or worse yet, the Manchurian Repeat.
But alas, it comes down to Hollywood finding that repeating high grossing movies to be a safe bet, rather than try creating new material. They're just lazy is my guess.
Same thing with video games: I used to repair arcade games, so I saw every game imaginable for 15 years. They too started repeating after a while, didn't they?
Depends. Im 26 and was in the golden videogame era. I witnessed the arcade die off. The old games were interesting.. In fact, they're still being recreated in cell phones, for-pay download services on consoles, flash video, and many other mobile targets. Though, you are somewhat right about repeating, but thats only after the tech is created. Was there a pre-Quake that was the same quality? Was there another Duke Nukem 3d that had the same irreverence? Was there a Planescape:Torment that had such multitude of ways to go through the game? Was there a RPG that elicited the emotional power of FF7? Was there a AD&D CRPG that allowed the DMs to control the world as Neverwinter Nights?
Yes, they are incremental steps, but as we learn how to connect these steps can we build the next Generation of games. To say they simly repeat and parrot "look at hollywood" is misleading. After all, many engine companies sell their engine to others so they might design the next.
The same goes for Operating Systems. There's only so many ways you can engineer a user interface, because Humans are as finite as everything else in this godforsaken Universe we live in -- and what's worse, we're just slightly smarter animals than the rest of the meat on this planet. That's one of the main reasons that Windows has been so succesful (aside from marketing skills): It caters to some of the lowest common denominators of humanity, and it does it well.
I will assign MacOS as being the second place OS, and all flavors of *NIX as third place. But there is a common thread between all of them, now isn't there? It's just like Hollywood, or video games, or novels for that matter: There are only so many ways you can do a specific thing, and after a while the themes just repeat. At their most basic, all GUIs are basically the same, aren't they? There are specific details that are different, and I'm not taking technical issues like stability into account (because the average end-user doesn't give a damn about that until something goes wrong). In the final analysis, you have icons, you have a desktop, and you have a pointing device and you click on things with it. The rest is all window-dressing (excuse the poor, unintentional pun).
Routing numbers are nigh-public knowledge. I could call XYZ bank and ask for the routing number. I'd most likely get it.
As for account numbers, all I need do is go through your trash, or even just guess at accounts from customers I already know of accounts.
In Europe many banks have scratch-off bingo boards that serve as a one-time-pad for secure confirmation. You can have the routing and acct. If you dont have the OTP, its a no-go. And once it's used, its dead.
And after reading the comments on here, no wonder why people think that Linux people are freeloaders and whiny asses who want everything for FREEEE.
Im up for capitalization on his product if he can make it mass market. All the better is if he offered schematics of the PCB, firmware, and software source used. It's just like the old tvs, radios, and other electronic devices that had the whole PCB on a paper attached on the inside of the box.
Well hell, Compiz already has the basic handwriting tools: Annotate.
It'd be cool to hook up a handwriting detection engine (theres already one for kanji in Linux) so that one could annotate ANYTHING on any screen. There could even be layers to show different annotations on what date.
Beautiful, for pre-alpha hardware. Too bad theres no pics of it being used. Probably cause the software needs to be re-written for proper usage.
As for the slamming and openness: Im up for him making profit on it. After all, thats what the patent and copyright clause is for in the Constitution. He's furthering the arts and sciences. We need more people like him.
Be aware: Im in electrical engineering, not finance.
From what I see, private finance looks rather nasty in the forms of increasing and decreasing net worth on each line item, per day. For example, you buy 100K$ worth of stock from XYZ corp. Tomorrow, the worth of that stock bundle is 110K$, you have to account for that increase. Obviously, many things can have a continualy shifting net worth.
Another problem is unlike the public which has 1 deposit/2 weeks, they have consistent income stream inbound and outbound. One must account for what bill goes to what account, and if their payment holds or not (bounce, denied..).
In a nutshell, it's a balancing act between debt, income, and inventory and their worth at certain intervals. Looks like a PITA. Glad somebody else can do it.
Well, it seems the way Putin is doing things, you might get your wish.
Not that I thought the USSR was terribly impressive myself. I've always believed that Communism could be developed under Democracy with every persons full voice, along with a charter of Unassailable Rights. After all, Marx's definition of Communism was the direct control of the machines of production by the people.
The way I thought it would ever have the possibility of working is under a meritocracy in which everybody is guaranteed a stable way of life... just not a comfortable way of life. One would work for the good of everybody (and oneself) to further themselves to more prosperity. To fix the problem with the ruling military class, one would have elections for military service ala the ancient Greeks. A lottery worked for them, in which everything from generalship to waterworks was chosen at random from the citizenship.
Instead, we ended up with a country that thought a large military class with many very poor proles with a wafte of communistic ideas was communism. Even the 2nd biggest communist country like the taste of capitalism.
Well, given the information systems we have now (the Internet/ control over RF) how hard would it to be to implement a democracy with a constitution?
I mean, we could allow voting from every legitimate voter on every issue, along with allowing citizens to draft their own bills in collaboration on a wiki(or whiteboard.. something akin to a draft table with excessive commentary). And considering the complexity of the legal system, we could use theorem solvers to create a consistent law base that would remove contradicting laws and/or bad laws.
Would there even be a reason for a President? I could understand a commander-in-chief, but not the rest of the laundry list in the Constitution. After all, many countries separate those powers to multiple people anyways..
And a retail bank statement is kindergarten arithmetic compared with the monthly statement for a private banking client. Indeed, Mr. Wyser-Pratte said that the statements have become so complicated not even a Wall Street veteran like himself could detect the continuing theft.
"I kept complaining that the bank's records showed I was overdrawn when I shouldn't be," he said. Each time, he was assured that the statement was accurate, even if he could not decipher it.
That second paragraph cues me in that he DID complain, and was given a runaround and no real answers.
I trawl through your trash looking for checks (photocopies or voids, it doesnt matter).
All I need is your routing number and checking acct number. Even the routing number can be obtained by calling the bank and asking for it. It's nearly public knowledge.
The only tricky thing is the requirement of ACH access. One could "pay via e-check" by getting the 2 chunks of information and forge them. There's not a damned thing that can be done about that. Once it hits an approved ACH dealer, you're screwed out of your funds.

You're either not bright, or just trolling me.
I'm not arguing about using their equipment at all. Screw their equipment.
Instead, it's illegal for even me to make a receiver for certain channels. That's a load of crap.
Also, these frequencies are the publics, not some corporate interest... but that's not how the FCC sees it.
Should an electric company run heavy for-profit as the cell networks do? After all, electric is a novelty. You surely dont need it to live.
That's not what I'm getting at...
If AT&T => Rogers roaming is equal to Rogers => AT&T, the overall cost would be 0$ due to peering agreement. Then one would be at the mercy of your OWN phone company. In actuality, what is the peering agreement per minute? What is their actual cost?
Too bad that our FCC does NOT require reasonable access and reasonable charges on OUR public airwaves.
Instead, the FCC whores out our frequencies for billions of dollars, and we then get re-charged for using those frequencies. What a crock of shit.
Question: How much did the roaming agreement with that "roaming carrier" cost AT&T? 10$? 100$? ... Free (peering agreement)?

Am I right?
I used to crash BBSes doing exactly that.
Use Zmodem, upload a 1GB 0-file. Takes seconds, if that. When auto-decompressed, fills drive of machine and crashes it.
Rather effective. I'd assume that this same attack works on POSTing http gunk with gzip compression on. I havent tried..
Attaching a HSF scares you? Yeah, it can be rather nasty.

Shit breaks. We fix it.
Why not just go to the big pipe guys and ask if they could sniff connections inbound and outbound on arbitrary nodes?
Doing a sniffed bridged router is a piece of cake and it allows sniffing of all unencrypted content.
You gave me a great idea.

Its hard enough to switch people from IE to firefox. What makes Google think they can switch users to yet another web-platform?
And if Google does the carrot of dangling extra features for using THEIR browser, people just wont use them and migrate to other services.

Users rights are ultimate under the GPL. It's only after you release it does the GPL trigger its full effects.
