But if you call into work saying you'll be late/sick, that is business use. Do they bill you approprately? If you are going to use the cable modem with full time telecommuting, then yes, you can afford/should pay for the @home professional connection since you are using it for work. But the occasional use should not require a business line. Base it off of the amount of bandwidth I use, not what I use it for. And if you are going to charge me more, give me more, not the same service with a different sticker on it.
But for the 3 times the cost of the service, what do I get? Do I get any type of guarantee that I'll have a connection? Do I get faster downloads or uploads? Is my connection on a different set of pipes that are not oversaturated at peek time? Do I get more IPs or are they static? Can I run other servers? No to all the above.
It is the exact same service, just that they turn the other way when you run a VPN. I agree that if you are a professional telecommuter, then yes, you can afford the $100 a month, have the company pay, or deduct it from your taxes. I occasionally have to call in to my company a do periodic support after hours. I'm not going to spend 3 times as much a month to use a telnet/ssh connection that consumes.01% the bandwidth of the neighbor brat downloading the ISO image of Debbie Does Dallas, Windows XP, and 500 MP3s at the same time.
Why would you want to have a hub in every room? It seems like it would just be overkill and add additional costs. Plus you now have to have a hub somewhere out in the open. And what happens when you want 2 phones in a given room, say across your living room?
Adding additional drops to a room is dirt cheap. By having multiple drops spread across a room that all lead back to a central switch/hub would be just as good and easy when the drywall hasn't been put up. You can get rid of the hastle of trying to hide the cable as you snake it across the room because the drop will ALWAYS be on the other side of the room where you want. Future connectivity is a snap. Just plug in the patch cable to the closest port and your ready to go. If you were going to have a more then several computers in one room the the hubs/switches could be justified, but I think it would be overkill for all but the most geekiest of houses.
If you would follow your own link, you would have seen that it was an announcement that it was being released and that CT would be getting a review up once he had played around with his review unit.

Wouldn't it be more correct to say that a 1 kilogram = 1000 grams as oppose to 1 gram = 1/1000 of a kilogram? I know they are equivilents, just courious .

So if the rsync, the algorithm, was proposed in 1998 (Nov 11 according to the date at the bottom of the page), what was rsync, the program, based off of in earlier versions? According to this page, rsync v.2.2.0 was out by them...the first version was out by June 15, 1996. Just courious.
I heard an interview on the radio with someone talking with the govener on Oaklahoma and what they went through a few years ago. The interviewer asked basically the same question. The governor said some people wanted to rebuild the building there, but many did not, due to the fact that some of the victims became apart of the land (figuratively and physically). Instead, they built the monument to remember and celebrate the lives of the victims. I would think, and hope, that another building(s) would not be built, but a memorial to the thousands that did die.
Dude, the microsoft tax dissapeared like 2 years ago...You don't pay no microsoft tax unless your gullable enough to do so. If you buy from Dell, Compaq, IBM, gateway or any wintel vendor then what do you expect?
So I guess it is still around then, huh? The manufactures you mentioned in your posts (Dell, IBM, et al) are the ones that have still have the MS tax. Yes MS stopped several years ago, but the mfg. still impose it. The resellers you do have a choice with, the mom & pop businesses, don't usually have AOL preinstalled, or if they do, can not install it if you wish.
Buy hardware from Penguincomputing if you want linux. This contradicting your original argument that all PCs come with it installed already.
...everyone should have used os2:) See, I can't even agree there either. I think VAX/VMS was the way to go.:)
AOL is on every PC. Not mine. Not on the PCs the company I worked for. Not on the several PCs I've bought recently. Later on you say you can buy a PC with Linux already installed. Did AOL recently come out with a Linux version?
You rent a movie from Blockbuster you get AOL CD's. Just say no thanks. Don't take one. It's your choice. Blockbuster doesn't require you to purcahse/install AOL in order to watch your movie.
You goto the movies and you see AOL/TimeWarner and hear You got mail subliminal messages. I must be watching the wrong movies. Aside from "You've got mail", what movies are you watching that has more then just a passing reference to YGM? Or are you talking about the advertisments in the begining. Pepsi does the same thing, but that's not a problem. Every studio advertises there upcoming movies, but that isn't a problem. Just when it is AOL is it a problem.
You turn on the nighly news and tons of AOL thrown at you. Open a computer magazine and you'll have tons of IBM/Microsoft/(fill in company here) thrown in your lap. It is called advertising. Once again, they are not forcing you to purchase/install their product just to read your magazine.
I have yet to see MSNBC push MS that much, Microsoft doesn't ruin the movies i rent with a bunch of adverts or anything. Maybe that is because MSNBC is a JOINT venture between the two companies, not completely owned my Microsoft. If Microsoft wanted to pay the bucks to advertise for every commercial on MSNBC, they probably could. AOL/TW pays for the movies to be produced. They can advertise their company if they want to.
Microsoft doesn't put crap in every magazine I read. So throw the CDs away. Use them as coasters. Whatever. They didn't cost you anything. I hate those little subscription cards they put in my magazines, especially the ones I subscribe to already. I just ignore them and throw them away. Once again, the magazine requires the reader to do absolutely nothing with them in order to read it. Microsoft, on the other hand, requires you to install all this extra crap in addition to the OS.
AOL by far causes me more HARM and the environment MORE HARM then 10,000 Microsoft's put together. Why? Because of the CDs? Please.
And yes, you buy a PC from Dell, IBM or anyone for that matter and it COMES WITH AOL.. you like it or not. When you uninstall it as well it just removes the icons and leaves the programs.. "just in case you need it". First, it is not on every system you buy. Every time I go into Best Buy, I get asked whether I want to join MSN. Just say you don't want it. You have a choice. With Microsoft, you have no choice. To uninstall it permanently, go to C:\Program Files\, click on the AOL directory once, and press the delete key. Poof. Done.
On the other hand YOU can make a choice and buy a PC with Linux on it now can't you? Microsoft doesn't stop that.. But people sue Microsoft so they can bloat the OS with there crap. No, people buy PCs with Linux on it because that is what they want. They are given a choice. People are suing Microsoft because Microsoft requires them (indirectly) to buy a copy of Windows even if they want Linux in some cases, or no operating system at all. This is the Microsoft Tax.
what a world we live in! No, just your own little fictions world.
Boy. All those other news outlets have egg on their face now. All this time they have been saying that some guy named Linus created Linux. I guess we could just him how he pronounces his name to get the one true pronouncation.
I understand what you are saying. This was part of the controversy of staging the play Corpus Christi at my university. Many people in the community thought that the play morally was wrong, but supported the university and the director's free speech rights. The two organizations that I have heard of at schools that I have attended, Intervarsity Fellowship and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, have never come across as brainwashers. Participation was optional. Aside from a prayer around the flagpole or an occasional admisistrative message letting people know of a change in location, it was just another club.
I think it is some what amusing that with everything that you wrote above, you could replace a religious reference with a reference to band. At my H.S., the band was more of a religion..make that cult..then what some formal religions are.
Because even if the club didn't exist, the fixed costs of operating the school would be the same. The room still needs heated/cooled. The janitors still need to clean. Someone from administration still needs to be in the building for other non-secular activities. Clubs like this are not usually paid positions for faculty to sponsor them.
The university I attend recently had a large fiasco about staging a play called Corpus Christi. The just of the arguing was that it was state sponsorship of an attact on Christianity since the main character was a gay male who drank and swore. (Read more about it here). It eventually went to court since the university was paying a trivial amount for the utilities. It was something like 25 dollars per show. Although it is still in appeal, the initial judge and 3-member appeals court ruled in favor of the school. One of the reasons being the costs were fixed no matter what type of production was being produced.
Besides, you have no direct evidence that the club would cost the school anything. The supreme court has ruled that a school CAN be a site for worship or activities, it just can not descriminate against any group that also wishes to use the facility. Gideons often are on campus handing out little copies of the New Testiment. They are using campus parking spaces, campus roads, campus sidewalks, maybe even campus restrooms, water, and electricity. The school has no problems with them.
I know around my neck of the wookds, some school cafeterias are used on Sunday mornings as a makeshift sanctuary. As long as the church pays the fees, it can use the church.
I'm going to venture a guess and say it isn't going to be available commercially for about another 25 years....at least if they are soldering all the surface mount stuff by hand. 5000 caps is a lot of soldering, especially if what you are soldering is about a square millimeter in size.
Quietly distributed by another Microsoft-supported group, Citizens Against Government Waste, those letters were identical except for the signature.
Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch said he got about 300 of those. "It's sleazy," Hatch said. "This is not a company that appears to be bothered by ethical boundaries."
Hatch responded with his own mailings to the senders, explaining his position.
Some of the recipients wrote back by hand, apologizing for passing along the Microsoft-inspired letters. "I sure was misled," one wrote. "It's time for you to get out there & kick butt."
So let me get this straight. You sign your name to a letter Microsoft sends you to mail to your state's attorney general. Then when your letter is questioned, you plead innocent saying you were misled and then ask the AG to "kick butt"? Hello? Do you sign everything people put in front of you without questioning it or at least understand what you are signing. Nevermind. Don't answer.
I think that the announcement two weeks ago was just for the code. It hadn't been installed on the actual hardware yet, just the test hardware. This probably has more hardware so that it doesn't get slashdotted in the first 30 seconds like the last one did.
I know that it is not exactly the best source for legal knowledge, but I remember several episodes on Law & Order where the judge felt that the jury disregarded the facts of the case and overrulled the jury, submitting a bench judgement. So is that only for convictions?
And when they stop making the "inferior" VHS tapes and switch over to DVDs completely, you're going to be stuck watching 4 hours of commericals, warnings, previews, etc before the movie can be displayed. Just wait...it'll happen.
