I was doing some server research and there was some 'free' as in beer, NAS software. It made it real easy on paper. There was also a real cheap way to build a box with used SCSI2 parts off of ebay. I think that it might have even been posted here on slash, before.
The only real cost was an empty drive box. I wish for the life of me that I could remember the names. Ahh well.
Maybe net equality might be what we need. Even tho that I'm not from there, its going to affect us all.
Maybe the idea should be access equality. There shouldn't be any way for the Telcos to charge google et al with extra 'just because your rich tax'.
IM not sure how cable actually works. I think that (asfaik) that its just a signal size, and its the modem that holds the key to the speed. As long as your servers and main-trunk can handle the load.. everything is cool.
I was also wrong in the cable speed. Apparantly the rumnour is 10 megs, and 980 down. The pro version is going up to 15 megsl, 1 meg down. slick. My cable now costs 42$/ month
Funny how my cable company, just upped the price of my standard cable access, by 2$ a month, and at the same time doubled my speed to 5 megs/780k. Seems that in Canada, there is enough money to be able to do that. Way to go COGECO!!
ISP.
Its nice to see someone not rolling over so easy. Maybe GOOGLE set precedent with the way they said no to the American government. Maybe this will be another 'just say no' generation:L
How is one's entire life screwed because they got an STD at 16? I got a couple then too. You go to the free clinic and got your shots. It becomes a learning experience. There has been recent discussions on how the younger generation is developing problems with being able to act independently. The studies seem to point to that the over-zealousness of the parents in wanting someone else to take the responsibility of their kids. As well as the fact that the parents are directly over-looking their kids behavior. Why do you really want to where little Johnny drives the car? With GPS you can. All kids are looking for their own lives, and are sorely let-down when they realize that they might never be able to.
Maybe its the fact that America is so repressed as a society sexually, that is causing the problems. If your kids want to run out and have sex, I think is called PUBERTY, and HORMONES! Its do easy to blame the movies for portraying something as dirty as your own sexuality. Sex is messy, and dirty, and smelly, and wonderfully so. If you have a hangup why pass it onto the kids?
I have been using then 2.x BON ECHO Release for quite some time. I haven't looked back. At first there were only few things that seemed ok. But the longer I used it, the more I realized that what I have is really nice. The spell checker is barely noticeable, but sometimes it doesn't work that well. Sometimes it will give you the options for a mis-spelled word that has nothing to do with the word itself. I think as time goes by things like that will improve. It does seem to start faster. But there is not much difference in the over-all look.
Maybe instead of re-inventing the wheel, maybe just updating the email protocol to do its own base-level encryption? So that all email is encrypted ? So the no-one needs to worry about it.
Why it was necessary to break up someone's business like this? Now instead of paying monthly for access, they are going to have to license the access right to the manufacturer. Space is expensive. So when satellites need repair or replacement, how is this going to happen ?? All you will see is either the company will figure out a way to update the codes all the time(Like sat. tv) or, a massive increase in the cost of GPS units, to cover the license cost. Now someone that has a small hobby like geocaching might not be able to afford it.
What about the DMCA? How likely would this company try to sue the university, and the students, for breaking the code. I'm sure that they would go after the magazine as well. Why did they have to name the company? Why couldn't they just say they cracked a type of code this way? Did they even inform the company that the code was cracked in order to give them time to fix it? Just because you don't like the Pay-per-use model, doesn't mean that you have to use it.
They could even get in with bio-weapons. Launch a cow that has mad-cow disease.
Good to go!
I think the idea came from a lot of editorials. There were 2 Canadians and an upset cow, in a sling getting ready to go over the border. The quotes were 'Canadians develop weapons of mass destruction, that can be launched within minutes.'
Isn't this the same thing that was said when the government wanted phone taps and access to your bank accounts ? Not to mention any national database.. no chance there of someone abusing it ?
make me wonder why we just don't encrypt the entire network ? I understand there would be more over-head, but wouldn't that be the same as games pushing hardware?
Maybe your local fraud squad, or the FCC. Maybe your FBI. I'm not sure.. I am not in the US. Maybe your government or your bank might have a page that directly talks about that. Paypal might as well.
Sometimes the way the prices are labeled, it can get confusing about it being 'after mail-in rebate'. This happed to me at Staples. Thought that the price was 29.99, it was 39,99 at the register. You had to look carefully enough at the print at the bottom.
The other beef with stores is that the register tape is so damned long? Why is it over a foot long when I bought a pen for 3$? Grumble. Way to save the environment.
Slashdot Mirror
maybe its a specific stick because he is breaking into someones house?

Hey thats pretty funny ;) It reminds me of the screaming guy from DILBERT.
And being said Canadian, I am all for making it much easier to spot the difference. GO BUSH GO!

Sorry but... "Thank-you... PLEASE come again.."

But a promise dosen't mean a thing. If there was a 'contractual agreement' then sue them. Why is it up to these people to dispense justice??
My ISP (cogeco) doesn't seem to allow me to connect through ssl.

I guess this gives a whole new meaning to phone-bone ??

Does the reception improve when one has an erection ??

See. Doesn't mean that these people are very smart. A not-so-great planner. Kind of like using the back of your cheque to write a bank hold up note.

I disagree.. the conversation will take your focus. Even if its only a bit. The radio is enough of a distraction, why tempt it more ?
