I have seen it suggested to see if a mail server is running and used to use it to connect to a university server until we were told that it was insecure, telnet was being shut down, and if we wanted to connect we needed to use SSH.
Excuse my ignorance (and my bad spelling). How does one browse with telnet, and since you aren't the first one to mention it, how can this be secure when using telnet is insecure to start off with?
I apologize and will go hide my head in shame if I missed the joke.
What's really horrible is that they will figure out a way to make larger breasts and a bigger penis before they figure out a way to repair someones spinal cord.
There is a much larger market for elective surgey then there is for necessary surgery.
Are the fines for those who leak it or for those who share it?
I ask because I have seen articles on many people who share getting huge fines, but not the people who actually supply these people. My guess is that the *AAs don't want to go after their own, that would mean they too are responsible for this mess - but until they do, I have no sympathy for them.
I haven't been able to look at the screenshots as the site appears to be slashdoted, but I find it impossible to believe that any UI could be uglier than XP.
Well, the site seems to be back up and they are uglier. In the vein of KDE it looks like to me with a little bit o blackbox window tiles there for effect. At least the XP screen looked like it was made for kids, this is just plain ugly.

Without those irritating doodads?
I turned on a laptop today where a pop up comes up telling me that I had unused icons and would I like to remove them. I click the x. Two minutes later the same pop up comes up.
Then there was the wireless network is now available pop up.
Then the tie into passport pop up.
These computers are used by people learning how to use computers and to be set up like they would be set up at home when they get them and these to me are irritating doodads. What's next - a pop up telling me that the computer is on?
I am sure they can be stopped. I don't have the energy to go figure out how or to do it. Ran the security and anti-virus updates, locked the computers back up and happily sat down in front of my Mac to do the rest of my work for the day.

why dont governments form a unit to identify and at least notifiy the owners of these machines?
I think I would prefer my tax dollars go to the fixing of schools and highways or medical research or even the military before someone gets a government job notifying people that their comptuters are bothering people.
The news is no longer the news though. It is the news media. They decided to blur the lines and I find it rather funny that in thier race for ratings they are happy to want to hire a comedian to host the news.
But most people walking into the store and seeing those shelves and shelves of software don't see that it runs on x86 hardware but see that it runs on Windows.
Ported? Emulated? These are really foreign words to those who walk into the store and go shopping for software.
How many shelves of Linux software do you see at the store? The stores sell software for the computers they sell. Go to the Apple Store and there are shelves and shelves of software that runs on a Mac.
You bring up the 'better interface'. I say to each his own. I'm not telling you to buy a Mac or they are better. I'm saying that porting the OS to run on x86 isn't going to up their bottom line unless they get manufacturers to install it on the computers they sell.
How many people buy a computer and think "Oh I gotta get this because it runs on x86 architecture."? If the person is making a large business decision then yes, they should think of these things and what can run on them but not most home users.
Most people don't go out and buy an OS but buy a computer. They buy it for what they can do with it.
Most people don't even know they can upgrade their OS from ME to XP or anything else. They just go out and buy a whole new computer, monitor and all because that is the computer they bought.

I have many additional surcharges from Verizon on my phone and all I have is a basic line, no caller ID, no VM, no DSL, no special from MSN for using them (cause as it says in the tiny fine print in white on the screen that it is not compatible with Macs) - yadda yadda yadda.
$8.61 for a dial tone $.99 in calls $11.46 in SURCHARGES (6.38 for FCC line,.40 for LNP, $1.00 for 911,.61 for Federal USF and.98 for just Surcharge) I left out the actual taxes.
That's $10.70 for phone and calls, then $9.37 for bullshit charges, okay $8.37 if you take out the 911 charge...
Verizon is on government welfare with all these surcharges and recovery fees. How can I get the government to pay me to build things and then charge my customers for recovery fees for actually adding services?
I think governments really have more important things to think about than spyware and spam - oh, I don't know... wars, the economy, health care, education, ways to spend the money they make off the tobacco industry for everything possible except for the health issues they are saying they nede the money to pay for...
If someone installs spyware it is their fault. Nothing is free on a Windows machine. Take some personal responsibility for jebus sake.
Here's a question. Why are all the spyware programs written for Windows rather than Mac or Linux. There are perfectly good freeware programs for the other OSs and they aren't laden with the crap?

To(o) bad I need upped permissions to install it on Win2K.
Now who woulda thunk that one would need that to install a browser. Oh well, looks like these work machines are stuck with IE.

How do you think movies get online before they are released?
Do you really think that the college kid in his dorm room has ties to all those movie companies?

Clicking on the the link didn't do it.
Clicking on a link inside the page did though.
Looks cool. Thanks. Having trouble downloading and installing it, but will continue to try. Thanks!
Very true.

Does the removal tool tell you what it is removing and give you an option not to remove it?
The print option is your friend.
