To those who don't believe this, I've tried carrying a PLC unit on as well and security gave me a hard time. My boss had insisted that I carry it on, because it was a VERY expensive unit, and the airline was not responsable for lost or stolen, or dammaged items that went through baggage.
My other main annoyance was when I forgot to put my pocket knife in my baggage, and was running late. When I set off the alarm, I stepped back, and handed it to the security guy asking where I could retrieve it when I returned. I even offered him $15 (more than enough to courrier it back to my house) Unfortionatly, I have not seen that knife since... and it was one of my favorits.
and kill all email for dialup users, and fill up the mail boxes and HDDs on mail servers... Would you rather deal with a few spam messages a day, or a few users with corrupt mail boxes an hour?
We're still working at building up our beef cattle herds. We are only a couple months away from having the ability to stampeed our way across the border.
I do have power, voice and data on seperate lines, but they may as well be on one line. They all come to my house using the same poles. If a large branch breaks off a tree in my yard, and comes down on the lines, I've probably lost all 3. If a tree falls on the lines 2 miles down the road, I've lost all 3.
the Americans are thinking they are the center of the universe....
How exactally would such a tax work? Would the US Gov be taxing canadians for sending email to the US? or Europeans? What about a Canadian sending an email to an Austrailian? would that be taxed as well? and who would receive the tax? What would the revenues from these taxes be put towards?
Americans can play the legal game with American spammers, and American companys that deal with spammers, but the internet does not have borders. The solution to spam needs to be technological.
This is not a job for governments. It's up to the users to decide they have had enough with the SPAM and demand that their ISPs start filtering the SPAM. All it took was one request and I started using a couple of the better black hole lists, and now I have several customers telling my that the like my service because they don't receive much SPAM. I added virus filtering and the customers were happy again.
If people find that SPAM is a problem, either deal with it yourself, or complain to the people who can actually implement a solution (your ISP) if your ISP doesn't care enough to help it's customers, then find an ISP that does.
For me, being the computer geek was caused a bit of bullying, but that stopped quickly when I joined the wrestling team, and quickly took a gold medal for the heavyweight category in a regional tournement.
I found one simple solution when I got DDOSed by about 5000 zombies all trying to connect on some high range port, which never connected to my system because of my firewall, but still ate a lot of bandwidth. Actually the attack was rather ineffective other than costing me a couple hundred dollars in bandwidth. I just called my provider and they firewalled the port so the traffic never came down the pipe to my system, and everyone was happy.
At least for the short term (next year) I will continue running my Redhat 8 server, and I will keep running the up2date every day until it's no longer available. After which I will keep patching my services patches are released by perl, apache, whoever. After another year or so (or should a technical reason require it sooner) I will start evaluating Fedora, and other distros to see which will become my new OS
I agree, the light pollution is getting insane. I wish the flares had taken out the power grid (again, like in 89. Too bad I was too young to remember that one) Even when Quebec was hit by the big ice storm, and everything was black, I could see some amazing sites in the night skys. Let's all write our government reps and try to convince the powers that be to reduce the light emmissions. Surly we don't need a street light on every pole in town?!? people shouldn't need to have ball fields flooded with daytime brilliance at 2:00 AM. Sure, it's nice to have a spotlight in your yard when you are expecting company, but it doesn't do a lot of good when you are sleeping! Put in a motion sensor instead of having the light on all night, and position it so that it doesn't see every car that drives by on the road! Office buildings that are closed for the night surely don't need to have every light left on. Maybe on the ground floor for security reasons, but the next ten floors could go black
Gator is NOT adware. Adware is the program to kill gator.
They claim it's not spyware.
It's too useless to be considered crap
so to get to the point, let's just call it evilware
I wondered about that one. Does he really have a masters or is it a BS in CS?
The only real data of importance that I have lost in the 3 years that I've been working fulltime in the computer field was earlier this week when the power flickered causing my system to reboot when I had about 100 lines of code that hadn't been saved, plus the 5 web pages I had open to the sites I was reading through code samples on disappeared into the vast history list, never to be seen again.

I had to refresh the page solar flare page about 10 times, and am still trying to get the fires to load. connection keeps timing out.

Most of these systems I've seen have a link right after the image to play a sound file Disclaimer: I have not seen every system in place.

My old 386 died on my (CPU gave up) but I'm still running the 5 1/4 drive from it in an old pentium. It just a little difficult to find disks.
The drive dates back to the early 90's and still works fine.
Oh, forgot the speakers that date back to the 80s
I've re-installed 3 machines in the last 2 days, and was able to get one up to date.
