Haven't you heard? The RIAA, M$, and MPAA had the first ammendment dropped. That and government regulation of corperations went to the corperations. Just remember, big brother is watching you!
He does more then distort the facts, he completly changes them for what the big coperations want. Take global warming and climate change, he completly refuses to even say they are real! He does this becuase industries that polute want him too, anything he does is for that reason or something else.
Some diabled people, who have a problem with numbers or whatever can get special numbers that are easily to remember, I am guessing free of charge. This type of market cannot work, becuase of small thinks like that, the phone company should have the right to issue phone numbers so they can be issued to those who need it. This market of selling numbers won't last in other venues either for this and many other reasons. Sorry I wasn't more clear in this post.
Guess what, it isn't much fun to get telemarketing calls either!! The industry has had this coming, I am sorry that you have to manage the list, but the industry deserves it.
Such system to peice together info from various sources isn't new. I belive 'the matrix' is being used for criminal information. These projects will hopefully be brought down before they can start installing telescreens in peoples houses.

You would think for 11K a pop, they could hire a web designer with some talent to make a quality website!!
But what are they passing this up for? Have you seen the horrid crap they have on WB otherwise. They have to show their sunday shows early just to compete with FOX!!! I am truely sickened when even someone says they watch everwood or whatever else they have on. Angel is just a bit of what shows that were good they had left.
They would create a cross-platform Office program that is better then OpenOffice. OpenOffice is what I use, but I can say without a doubt it has some major flaws. If IBM created one that could compete with Office and was opensource, and then cheap or free for the binary, it might start being used. Just porting a really horrible office program isn't going to appeal to most linux users, it is also going to support M$ more. This is not the right direction for IBM to go, and I for one hope this project is stopped.
I think the main reason for this is when it comes to computers, most people wouldn't be able to handle to power of linux. Plus Linux doesn't meet everyones purpose, things like boot time mater to some people more than others. I have linux on my laptop and the boot time is a factor there, but because I would still rather use linux when I am not gaming or other things that more applications are made for. Servers are used because sysadmins have the ability to use linux, while the majority of people don't have the ability. Linux will have to change before this figure changes.
Wireless is a horrible idea for most situations. You can not achieve the throughput with wireless that you can with wired technologies. Thats not bringing into account security either.
First of all, isn't there home networking equipment like this that works horrible? This seems like just a larger scale of that. The type of quality needed to carry multiple frequencies can't be done on any type of wire, powerlines won't be able to cut it. This seems like a really bad idea, mostly the FCC trying to take on a role that it isn't.
where I could care less if M$ is guilty or not of whatever. I just want to see them horribly screwed. I say if it can hurt M$, pursue it with all your heart!
That may be all well and good for police departments that have money, but what about the ones with little funds. I imagine most would rather have more officers then new technology.
Some standards are a good thing, plus you don't have to follow them. I am one of those people who validate all my web pages, and I would rather have people be able to read my webpages universally rather then not at all. I read some of the html standards before, and they really care about making the web usable for all.
I think this is on of the worse choice that Nasa could make. It is about the final choice to make science no longer an issue. Even if it is a saftey risk, so is going to the ISS, they are just sitting on a big bomb if something goes wrong. Safety is not the issue, engineers are saying so.
But we should enjoy the pics while they are still around, this website is a news release center with high res pics of hubble pics. http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/ releases/year/
I don't see how they can even prove the loss of profits due to piracy. Copyright laws do have their purpose, but for the most part theu protect big business. The comparison to shoplifting is a bogus one, you get nothing phyisical out of downloading.

Of course it is easy to monitor POTS. But the FBI has monitors for words and then starts to record them if it picks up a particular word. The key word in this is all for everyone monitored. Not just the FBI for that matter with cell phones, anyone who has the equipment to pick up cell conversations can as well.

which are built from silicon and germanium, the Illinois transistors are made from indium phosphide and indium gallium arsenide.
Maybe they should call Champaign Indium Phosphide Valley.

It is hard to shut down a worldwide, decenteralized group of people in a single country! It is a good thought, but it is not practical.

Perl Haiku pushes the limit of the excuse of "why not?" when it comes to wasting your time.
Many kids have a greater ability with computers then many adults who did not grow up with computers.

Then people will finally stop playing Xbill because it is out dated by then, hopefully.

This would not be a move in the right direction. I think what needs to be done is make a PDA that works on any OS, with the same equipment.
That would make sense, since SuSE is German. Not like they are going to use Red Flag Linux.
