I just dialed 911 to verify it is working correctly. It connected directly to my local PSAP and they had all of the correct information about my address.
Honestly our ownly hope is for google to light up all that dark fiber they have been buying and put a major hurt on SBC and the other greedy bastards right where it hurts.
Not really. As I have said before, content providers (ie. google, yahoo, etc) just have to null route AT&T's netblocks when they attempt to exstort them.
Let's see who really needs whom. Something tells me AT&T's customers would leave as soon as they could not access the sites that are the reason they need/want internet service.
The moment I knew that Enterprise jumped the shark was the Ferengi episode, whom the federation had never seen before. Right. I call bullcrap.
Hey, I knew it jumped the shark from the beginning. There's singing in the theme song. This is Star Trek, THERE IS NO *SINGING* in Star Trek theme songs! (Even if lyrics have been written for it, you don't *SING* them on TV.)
In no way has it become like a public utility. It's just like any other search engine (Yahoo, Lycos and etc.). Regulate it (remove their freedom), and you will kill the very thing that makes it so useful.
They honestly report *HOW MANY DOWNLOADS* they have had.
If you accept that download figures are meaningless (and I don't se you arguing that point), then what on earth is the point of making a big fuss over them, if not to mislead people?
It's simply a metric how how many people have downloaded the software. Like WinZip (158,914,773 downloads) or Spybot Search and Destroy (74,435,719 downloads). I have not seen a big fuss, other than a little celebration. So what. Let those folks celebrate.
Boycott Google - Everything you've ever searched for is permanently associated with your IP address. Fun!
So is everything you have ever read on/. and any other website you have visited. With that logic, the logical conclusion is to boycott this whole Internet thing.
I received this email from my wife a few minutes ago....
The camera is FU*KED.
I took pictures of the flowers. Showed someone the picture of your parents. As it was handed back, it was dropped. It is hosed. Know any good camera repair shops?
Please don't kill me. I am SO sorry. I hope we can get the pictures of the flowers out of it.
This wasn't an "experiment" this was "throwing a radio out an airlock as a PR stunt". The fact that they failed at even something that simple is rather sad.
Do you know who "they" are?
"They" are amateurs (AMSAT), not NASA or the Russian Space Agency.
Well, except for the fact that MSFT, Google, Apple, and Amazon need the telcos more than the telcos need them. By a wide margin -- and especially true for Google and Amazon (and eBay).
Really? Let Google or Microsoft null route Bellsouth's netblocks and see who really needs whom.
"Specifically, one hard drive contained approximately 40 full-length motion videos," state Chief Technology Officer Kyle Schafer said in the Jan. 5 memo to Administration Secretary Robert Ferguson. "Two other hard drives contained over 3,500 MP3 music files consuming more than 14 [gigabytes] of hard drive space."
That sounds more like my iPod than a big time piracy operation.
I would like to see content providers such as Google and Yahoo! NULL route Bellsouth's Netblocks for 72 hours, in protest.
Let's see who really needs whom more.

Now if I could just get the battery to charge correctly:-)
I have found with my 5G iPod (under Windows) that you must make sure that Windows is allowed to mount it as a mass storage device in iTunes. Otherwise it will not charge. Also, it will not charge if the battery is at more than about 80% capacity.
I remember 49152 was the location in memory (in decimal) that cartridges for the Tandy CoCo were. If you disabled the enable line on the cartridge, you could copy that memory byte for byte on to a cassette or floppy. If you wanted to execute the program on the cartridge you could simply type "exec 49152".
Why the hell not? The fricken ARRL recognizes just about any sandbar visible only at low tide as a separate DXCC "country", so why not Mars, or any random piece of space junk? W00SH! You can't get credit unless you actually setup the station on the sandbar, not by just setting anchor down next to it. It was supposed to be a joke. Oh well, at least I made myself giggle.

No on hold with Vonage for me.
I have had Vonage for well over a year, but have never dialed 911.
It is my understanding you are routed to your local PSAP.

None of the links you provided say that the user agent cannot be tabulated within a reasonable amount of accuracy.
There's one crucial difference: honesty.

Still, I hope they fire them all.

Naa, the ARRL does not recognize ships orbiting mars as a DXCC entity, however if it were to land........ ;)

Bellsouth, like many ISPs, use airport city codes in the RR to show the nearest city. bna is Nashville International Airport.
Go to the IP address in a browser. It returns the simple message "Welcome to Rush Delivery.
Search google for "Rush Delivery" nashville, and there you have it.
No big deal.
IIRC, the same was said about web browsers in /. comments 4 years ago, when Mozilla reached the 1.0 milestone.
Yes, here in The South we do. It's sort of a inside nerd joke that has been around for at least a decade.

Wait a minute. I thought the allegations of copyright infringement by IBM were dropped from the case over a year ago.
I thought this was now a simple contract disagreement.

What are you talking about? This is the kind of imperialism the United States has been exerting since WW2! (Tong placed firmly in cheek.)
