  1. Re:Everything moving on to ip on IBM To Run VoIP On Linux · · Score: 1

    Well cost savings is really the big bang of VoIP. If your company is rolling in the dough so much that they don't care what they spend I can't see how you get them to pay attention. IMO VoIP is ideal for companies with multiple locations in which the employees call each other all the time. All those calls can now go over IP and never generate a bill.

  2. Comcast Digital Phone on Will A Price War Run VoIP Out of Business? · · Score: 1

    isn't as price competitive as it could be. Depending on what features you want it has a range of $25-50/mo. For the top of the line $50 package you only get 5 hours of long distance calling. Keep in mind that this is above and beyond the $60 you are already paying for broadband. Contrast that with Vonnage which has all bells and whistles standard (caller id, call fowarding, etc) and UNLIMITED long distance in the US and Canada for about $35.

  3. Re:Middle East on The End of the Oil Age · · Score: 1

    What an utter crock of shit.

    They need the west to get the fuck out.

    So they can go back to doing what they were doing for the 600 years prior to the discovery of oil which was...nothing. But then who could they blame the stagnation of their culture on? Oh! Those all-purpose boogey men the Israelis perhaps?

    the racists in the US gov't wants to make it a loan this time because we aren't giving it to white people

    They are called Democrats. They would be the ones who can't stomach the idea of US tax dollars going to companies that supported Bush and not them. Fear not. When they get in office they can send over a boat load of trial lawyers. That will keep Iraq in the dark ages for the next 600 years.

  4. Re:Chain of subcontractors on Transcriber Threatens Release of Medical Records · · Score: 1

    The so-called chain probably wouldn't amount to anything. The small fry at the bottom of the chain wouldn't have enough coverage if enough people sued and the lawyers would then be seeking out anyone with deep pockets.

  5. Re:A question for all US people on Ian Clarke, Ernie Miller On Free Speech, Privacy · · Score: 1

    That reasoning does ring true. I would have thought they would have had better uses for their money than pay lobbyists for that though. As a former smoker I would never have gotten on a plane without putting nicotine patch on first. Even for a short flight there was always the chance you could get kidnapped by the carrier and held on the runway for 3 hours while they waited for a part or a pilot.

    Why? You can't smoke on any domestic flight anyway.

  7. Re:My disguise on Facial Recognition Fails in Boston, Too · · Score: 1

    One of the guys from Monty Python fooled a system in London a year or so ago doing something similar. He put on some earings and lipstick and walked right through, even though a short time before he had been put in the database as a terrorist.
