Development. A systems designer I know uses IIS on his Windows XP laptop to design the web-based systems for his clients, then deploys it to production web servers.
I saw some sort of Windows 95 error at Miami International Airport (MIA) earlier this week (Monday the 25th) as I was coming home from a Carnival cruise, where, according to their website, they use Win95 and WinNT.
The actual price of a single channel is really difficult to judge for this reason...
I have Look TV (I'm in Ontario, Canada), which uses microwave transmissions and other than the standard channels which are included due to CRTC (Canadian FCC equivalent) regs, any other channel (you can pick each individual channel) is only $1 extra per month.
US Federal Reserve network goes down due to massive hacking attempts. Economy grinds to halt. Paranoia sweeps the United States. President urges everyone to remain calm.
I feel compelled to mention that I work for my local school board. A colleague of mine (a technician for the school in question) informed me that someone broke into the school and stole three or four computer systems (on a side note, they obviously didn't do their homework... they stole computers with 32 MB of RAM that are aged quite a bit). The police fingerprinted everything and when I walked into that classroom several days later, I could still smell the fingerprint dust. This is in Ontario, Canada though, so I'm not sure about wherever you are.
Deepfreeze is a program that will wipe out changes to a computer upon reboot. I work for my local school board and we use it on quite a few systems and it works great for us.... especially when we had that Sasser outbreak.
Offtopic, but I'm curious what product you use to reimage. I work at my local school board and we use the (now discontinued) ImageCast product which was discontinued by Pheonix Systems.

I completely agree. Similar to the incident with N2H2 Internet Filtering being found a couple of years ago to be selling logs of where students go in the internet. Nobody seemed to be concerned that the logs were being kept before, but everyone cries fowl as soon as they were sold.
From what I've seen (only watched the video), you can only order pizzas. What if I wanted to order some pop with it? They should add the ability to order coke.... lots and lots of coke.
I'm located in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada and we have a county-wide fiber network that's called SCBN (Simcoe County Broadband Network). It was originally started to provide interent access to schools, local hospitals and Georgian College (where I go to school right now).
Recently, it was opened up so that business could get in on the fiber internet... for a fee. Apparently (this is from a sales rep at SCBN) it costs about $3000 to $5000 for installation and about $100 per meg/s per month.
In addition, they won't service residental areas (which sucks... imagine a 5 meg fiber line at home;)). They're owned by Hydro One Telecom and other various Hydro companies.
I'm not 100% sure that it was Verisign (I think it might have been Network Solutions, which is part of Verisign now anyways, but whatever) but a little while ago, if memory serves me accurate, weren't they wanting to change DNS so that if you typed in a site that didn't exist (e.g. www.ThisWebsiteDoesNotExist.com), it would access their nameservers and provide search results, essentially making them own any domain that isn't registered?
This way, they could serve up ads and sell their own "services".
As I remember, it didn't go over too well in the Internet community.
I'll try to find some linkys and reply back.
I used to have pay as you go, but now I have a post-paid account. That's what the $20 which is really $40 was about. Before that, I had pay as you go.
Sorry if that was confusing to anyone.
I'm on Telus Mobility up here in Canada, but I'm looking to get that switched because it's really expensive, even though I'm on the $20 per month plan, I end up paying like $40 per month and it's getting really expensive for me, as a college student, to pay for it.
I have to pay for all incoming calls and incoming text messages and everything. And Telus' Pay As You Go is a joke... you're almost paying 50 cents a minute!
I'm in my second semester of college (Georgian College, Barrie ON and we have to pay for parking at the college.
They issued me a proximity card that is used when leaving the parking lot (so the gate goes up), so one might be inclined to think that proximity card technology may be hindered by this patent.
Think about it... I hold the card near the reader on the gate (similar to 'inserting the media') and the reader detects it, beeps, and raises the gate so I can leave the college.
Because of the rising textbook prices, as a college student myself, I thought it might be a good idea to make a website where everyone can buy and sell used books. So I decided to create GetMyBooks.com.

Hmmmm.... I must be drunk. I thought I see someone saying PayPal is a "serious business"
It's nice to know what some "imporant" guy thinks, but what about the real people not on company payrolls?
The /. effect is starting.... the website referenced in the article is very slow.

We are the borg.... your technological and biological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

I kinda meant... without paying the money.
I'd even like HALF of the size of that disk!
