Oh, the computer side will probably pay off big. Blizzard always does well with it's games. Don't know about the RPG and board game. Doesn't matter, if it flops it doesn't hurt them anyways.
We used a lady at work for that. She used to get all types of spam. If she didn't get any emails for 2 hours she would call us and tell us. Most of the time when she called, the servers were down.
The reason this list was done is because telemarketers haven't been playing by the rules. They hang up when you ask them to not call again. Ignore your requests to do so and generally disrespect the rules. That's why this list was created. Stop whining and get back to probably ignoring the rest of rules like you have been.
IRC has become the pit for reasons of DOS and generally 13 year olds being dumbasses. I personally blame people releasing scripts that allow 13 year olds to become dumbasses. I hang out on a smaller IRC server and lately due to increased popularity, the owner has considered kill -9 the IRCD server because of stupid idiots. IRC is from the same age as SMTP. Both were protocols designed for a nicer internet. Both are being abused to no end and require a rewrite.
If you have a Mac Laptop, it can sleep forever. My lbook has been in sleep mode for an 8 hour trip and when I opened after the trip, I still had about 2 hours left of battery time.
That would do more damage to businesses and small ones would be the ones worst hit because it's expensive to get Certs. What would be better is another Root CA to offer to transfer someone over from Verisign to them for dirt cheap THEN we pull Root CAs. You can do itself anyways if you don't trust Verisign.
Real question is does it matter? If 2k is all you need then your good. Before anyone pulls out Bill Gates 640K quote this isn't a computer, it's a gameboy which can't be upgraded by your common person and like consoles, developers are used to working within requirements. I'm sure the data port is fast enough for all GBA games here and future.
Why should Microsoft be forced to open source anything? Licensing is a companies choice. If they want to be closed that's their choice. We have alteratives to Microsoft and they are gaining. Personally, I've yet to see a open source desktop that is ready for mainstream. OS X is damn good and Microsoft is so-so. Haven't seen Suns so i can't comment. KDE and Gnome are getting there but not there yet.
Canada is still largely based in Cities. Yea we have some of those problems listed above but Canada while has rural parts to it most of Canada is around cities.
Did they take into account that we are much larger then either of those countries with a large amount of rural area where broadband is expensive to run and with no ROI? It's easy to make everyone broadband when they don't have the amount of land to cover. Why don't they look at broadband saturation in suburbian and urban areas and compare us to Korea?
MMMMMM..... Another Democrat ranting about the poor? Considering that most poor people probably don't own computers anyways I don't see the problem. I don't see you complaining about Car licensing fees and people having to pay insurence for that car. There will always be libraries were I assume you wouldn't require a license because the library will handle you not spreading viruses.
Yes, but the what the original poster was implying that nothing would work with a firewall engaged. All the apps listed would work with a firewall engaged. True, most firewalls will reject communcation back from a server if isn't related to your commucation.
Apparently you don't understand most firewalls. If your computer makes a connection first, any incoming traffic from the site is allowed regardless of which port it responds. We are talking about blocking incoming unsolitied traffic. Quake 3, AIM, and any non standard website (which only geeks generally go to anyways) will work. Nothing needs to be unblocked. If you have Windows lying around somewhere, installed it, go get ZoneAlarm www.zonealarm.com , and then trying doing Quake 3, AIM and your non standard websites. After allowing your programs to pass through ZoneAlarm, let me know if you have any problems. I bet you won't unless your running servers which most people DON'T.
Pudge thinks their website isn't good enough. What does he want? Some flash? Maybe some pop up ads to spice it up. Whatever happen to simple being good and fancy being woooo pretty but useless. Oh wait, that still hasn't changed.
Why was Windows running the network? Why was monitor systems near office systems? Monitor systems should be seperate from rest of the system. Like physically, no wires should cross between the two and plugging into the other one requires SysAdmin wiring the port live and handing you an IP.
I don't see how it would. If you read the page, it would say the real reason (it appears) they included the current firmware was due to heat related issues. I can't see Apple really caring except that they probably won't cover any damage you due to your computer or drive due to this new firmware.
1. Get ahold of 233 MHZ box. Go ask your friendly SysAdmin who is very likely to have one of these lying around. Make sure you get a second NIC.
2. www.Smoothwall.org Linux firewall that is configurable via web interface.
3. Put firewall in between Windows and the internet.
4. PATCH YOUR WINDOWS BOXES.

We have Compaq servers at our work. Their support for failed drives is damn good. We paid them a pretty penny for it but it's 365/next day 9X5. We just call them up, say one of our drives was flashing Red. We replaced it with a spare and the drive rebuilt properly. They say another is on the way and dropship us another one in 2 days and we return the bad drive after the spare shows up.
How about an appliance just sits inside your network that you open a web page to? It has tabs for all the different appliances that are networked and to preheat the oven you click on the oven tab then type in the temperature then click the wait for it... "PREHEAT" button. You still only need one IP.
Novell also just released a Java groupwise (their Email software) client for both Mac OX and Linux (and anything else that can run Java 1.4). The also released a whole suite for linux that allows you to use a crap load of their services with Linux. Novell is betting big on Linux right now. I doubt they want to see it die. http://www.novell.com/linux/

Yes, because the chances of msn.com getting slashdotted are extremely large...

Looks like it was slashdotted already. It basically says we all knew along. SCO is full of S*** and going to be laughed out of court.
