But seriously. Doesn't this mean that VoIP is as subject to man in the middle attacks as any other digital process. The end result as far as I can see is that VoIP is as subject ot wiretap as a non VoIP phone (I hesitate to say POTS as not all "standard" phone lines are POTS) Perhaps a bit less mechanical than most think a wiretap is, but no less likely to conceive of.
"Asians eat carbs with almost every meal (rice, noodles). They are thinner than us. End of story." It seems you haven't spent much time in Asia. As wealth increases and the amount of rice/noodles consumed switches from whole grain small quantity, to processed large quantity, one interesting thing can be seen. They get bigger... lots bigger. Don't just look at the 20 somethings look at the men and women in their 30's and 40's. Though men and women in their 80's and 90's are skinny they are also still eating a very different diet from their children and frankly watching my in-laws fight the battle of the bulge shows it's as hard for them as it is for me.
Not directly but as a modem. I have an N800 with a Nokia 6103 phone on T-Mobile. Edge network works like ISDN on good days and a 56k on the bad ones (depending on my bars) I can watch a youtube video but wouldn't expect real high speed interactive video. All in all it's 1999 all over again when I'm on the go. The advantage is that no matter where I am if I have telephone I have the net. Makes 24/7 support a lot easier on my family life for sure.
This will perhaps sound foolish, but I've recently learned the secret here. Show them a pie chart. They Grok pie chart and if the slice can be made to appear large enough they start to listen real close.
While I'll admit that this kind of article makes for great sound bytes on *ox news. I don't agree with the premise of the article one bit. I understand the coffers of Microsoft make for deep pockets, but since they are in the middle of their 3rd flop OS (Bob, ME now Vista) they have gone heavily hardware (Which Bill Gates wrote in his book would be a sign that MS had lost it's way in the market) and design problems with their best selling (but still unprofitable) hardware the Xbox. You could very well say that MS is starting to thrash. Their puppet lost it's buns recently (SCO) and the IP that MS had so graciously purchased is now the property of Novel. I see MS using the agreements more to prevent Novel from lashing out than to really divide Linux. Xandros and Linspire are only slightly more popular than Slackware, with SuSE being the only deep water player in that camp (ala United Linux). As long as Mandriva, Red Hat, and the Ubuntu family don't follow most likely the MS play will suffer the same fate as United.
Too many people forget just exactly how impossible it is to hold onto something like Linux. The truth be known the whole of the SCO debacle has in fact made Linux stronger. Lawyers, Paralegals, News Media types etc who never would have otherwise heard of Linux now know what it is and use it. Geeks who previously could give a rats about the legal side of the GPL, suddenly have put a lot of effort into learning about it, at worse they learned the value of the legal side. GPL3 exists in many ways as a well thought out response to close the holes of GPL2.
Microsoft as a dominate force now has 4 fronts to fight on. 1. Apple, Steve just plain out markets them. 2. Linux, it may never dominate the desktop but it does rule the server room. 3. The Web. Mozilla/Firefox has enabled things to the point that Ajax like applications can be webalized to the point of being as useful as locally held apps. 4. Google, They made their mark doing what MS didn't want then proceded to begin chiping away at what the do want.
Now that Dell Lenovo HP and others are beginning to openly sell Linux laptops etc, perhaps MS is hedging their bet more than the old days of divide and conquer.
IF you password protect your master password list then when you go to the "evil page" it will pop up a window asking for your master password. Furthermore to protect yourself even more you can install this plugin Master Password Timeout and set your password to time out after a very short period of time. This way every page you go to during your session that has a login you will have to enter you master password again anew.
Is this a fix. No. Does this work on all OS's yes.
Personal server whatever you want to call it, any more than CDs killed the floppy disk. What killed the floppy was when data "chunks" got to large to fit on a single device. Floppies died because they no longer where useful. Desktops et al will die when they no longer can meat some kind of need. I've 3 at home, One my File server, One my wifes "Photo Server" and my Sons homework system. 3rd is my TV unit/dhcp/dns server. Oh and the wife and I both have laptops and palmtops too. Each of them fills a niche (the laptop is for work for example.) But for the most part none of them are unused.
I am a manager and I do check the logs. Sorry but it's the best way to find out where I should be directing my crew. If I didn't check all of this I'd be managing from a vacuum, and be nothing more than a PHB.
Amen.... If you give me access to the console and an existing password.... the rest is simple enough..... However on the iPhone (or any other phone) the real damage is when they start making realllllllllll long international calls on your dime.
I've seen the video evidence. I've seen him pull the plug. Somewhere in the mud you'll find a bald guy with a lisp. Ask him about that wascally wabbit. And remember like the pig said. thea-ta-thea that's all folks!
All too often laws are enacted with the best of intentions only to show that compliance with the law is a hollow shell of the desired objective. Case in point is something like the CanSpam directive. By giving you a link to a page that had all the correct bells and whistles to appear to allow you to de-list yourself, when it actually de-listed you from one list and listed you on 40 others, is the probable end result.
How many times have you had a company ask for ridiculously invasive information for your protection. Similar results will be incurred here. Currently asking information is at best spotty in legality and because of this you have a certain level of push back available to you when they request it. (No I will not give my sons grade school his SSN) however once a law like this goes into play it creates an aura of safety that once an organization appears to comply with it, the loss of your personal data no longer is a high level of liability for them. As a result your privacy is reduced to a level of cookie cutter actions that never get questioned because, 'everyone knows it meets legal requirements'.
I would make either the floor or the crown molding a removable addon that houses a channel for wiring. No amount of wiring you do today will match your needs in 10 years. So why not make it possible to modify/replace/augment the setup easily.
Actually I've got a number of Dimension towers with non standard (meaning I can't go to the store and by a replacement) heat riser/fan mounts not to mention the non standard placement of screw holes on the motherboard (standard ATX mobo's from Tyan or Asus don't match up.) So I can't buy a 100 - 150 dollar motherboard I have to buy the more expensive one from Dell. And as for the swap. Our out of pocket was under 2.5K most of that was for the HDD's (the one thing the pIII's had that was real junk were the 6GB scsi drives.) 6 1U's were brought back to life in total. compare that to 2.5K each from PSSC, Rackable or Penguin for the closest comparable system.
Have you every done a full cost analysis on your Dell systems? We have gone away from Dell for a number of reasons. Cost of electricity. Dells suck power like a hoover on 220. Cost of OS. Since Dell can't actually support an OS (they are a hardware company) I have to hire the admins anyway. Cost of repair. If I lose a motherboard on a Penguin or PSSC box for example that is out of "warranty" I can get a replacement at NewEgg. Can't do that with proprietary hardware. I have to in fact spend even more money getting rid of old Dell hardware (I'm in California I can't through it in a dumpster) that can't be fixed by Dell. With the old pIII 1U systems I was able to buy some cheap motherboards, with dual Xeons... swap out parts and I had a new test lab cluster in place in 2 days. The broken dell systems won't take standard motherboards they cost me money to get rid of so now I have a closet of "parts".
No I'm sorry if you are going non commodity hardware it's either for show or for pencil pushers. It's just too expensive to buy equipment that cannot be re-provisioned into the future.

More bullets fast I still see one of them there suckers a wigglin!
Ummm if it's an exploit... why wouldn't you patch it?
Guess google might have another hit. This article is where Dvorak said apple should drop the iphone.
I read he wanted to be a BBF for Linux, not BFF .... BIG difference. (whew)
Normally I hand it to Win Users in PDF but frequently I am force to save in doc format to overcome win users shortcomings.
And username Administrator password p455w0rd will most likely get you in without a hitch.

Then what the heck is business going to do for a file server?
Personal server whatever you want to call it, any more than CDs killed the floppy disk. What killed the floppy was when data "chunks" got to large to fit on a single device.

When in doubt ask About.
Basically 3 places Jitterbug, Wirefly, and Net10.
Jitterbug I've seen and it's large numbers (buttons and screen) make it ideal for stiff fingers and bi-focal eyes.
I am a manager and I do check the logs. Sorry but it's the best way to find out where I should be directing my crew. If I didn't check all of this I'd be managing from a vacuum, and be nothing more than a PHB.

I'll second the correction of my wording. Thanks

It's called the crack(black)berry. That is a business phone. Second choice treo. Status,function,snobbery all in one.

Plug in device, window opens that asks if I want to open the device, open the device. Konqueror opens and I drag and drop files.
