Common you really think setting them up like that will make a difference? If you are going to sit there waiting for a slow night they can definitely give it to you. Only those who set up the hardware and laid the cable know how much there really is over there . Who cares they are going to lie no matter what the numbers are.
We should buy fiber and lay it across Canada and let anyone who wants to be an ISP set up shop and serve via their own servers. If bell is really that good then they will have no problem making ends meet other wise oh well...
it is a difficult decision but now that you know about this upgrade path concept would the question is do you want these guys to fuck with your eye sight until it is the way you want it or get one and leave the carrot alone until it gets perfect?
If you start going for that carrot they are only going to let you have a taste of it anyway, never the whole thing.
I know that you're a troll but as a counter point one thing that Java does really well is cross architecture. When you compile ASM,C,C++ etc you normally compile for the lowest common denominator i386 possibly Pentium MMX(2). With Java what ever platform it runs on is how the code is optimized, on the fly. So if I write a program it will take advantage of SSE/2 or Sparc or whatever since the JVM will handle everything for me. You "can" do that with C, C++, ASM(to a lesser degree) but what you end up doing is writing it for all the different platforms but compiling all of them into one executable which any one can tell you is nasty as it gets. If I compile a C program to take advantage of the latest and greatest processor it will only run on those machines that host it, a Java program will run on any and all that there is a JVM for.
There really isn't that much bloat in Java. The reason the source is so huge is because of all library's. They have much more than a standard C distribution and cover every thing from OS calls to network sockets, thread management, encryption, HTML tools, the list still goes on. Being able to compile a Java class file that can be run natively by the kernel your class size would be quite small compared to the class file + run time files.
I have to admit that the nicest thing about it as a developer I can actually throw a kernel and some library's on a CD and the end user can boot it since at its lowest level it is compatible with almost every hardware architecture (086-present) I can run my code on any computer out there. Now with native Java on its way and real 3d drivers I bet I could challenge any MS box as long as I get driver support, and that's the way it's looking.
I have a copy of XP running on a PII 400 w/384MB Ram. For surfing it works just fine. After you crop most of the networking services to do with remote access, themes, etc you can have a fairly functional web box. Even plays youtube and most flash video, chokes on big animations though.
Well your pedo argument really doesn't mean much as cameras are still no problem apparently. I guess this means they have to wait till they get home to upload it to their pedo pals? At least you got an opportunity to bring up the relation of pedophiles and a persons ability to walk around with what they want.

I know you're new here but if you divide the number of people in a group by every one in the country that does not give you the possibility of some one joining that group.
Okay, bcat, are you saying that I can minimize my danger level by clearing all cookies each time I leave my bank's site? I have Firefox set to clear each time I log out; but that may not be enough?
Not really. A DNS server takes a name and gives you the 'physical' server that will give you that page. So if I route all your pages to my physical computer I can download the real page and send it to you as the real deal. Of course someone less honest might check the data that was entered before it passes it back.
Defiantly bandwidth is needed but as far as 1080p compressed or uncompressed I was actually surprised when I tried to play that on my 2.53Ghz P4 and it choked, I was getting about 10fps. That is really the only reason I currently have for shopping for a new system.
"You start work there as an honest well-meaning person and in six months time you're reduced to finding the fastest way to get someone off of the phone."
Of course. You wanna know what the whole key to getting you as a customer to accept what is told to you? Get some one like the customer to tell it to them. Or better yet, get their neighbor to convince them;)
The call center kid your talking to in most cases is just trying to maintain some sort of 'level' of quality and quote a script. They are given some general data about products beyond what the customer would see (in some cases) and easy one - two step fixes. That's why you feel bad chewing out some guy at the other line cause they just end up saying "sorry sir ** is company policy" and that's the manager. If you put too much time into the call you're taking too much of company time. I've been there, but it kinda makes sense doesn't it? Get your peers to break it to you.
Want a millionaire to buy your crap? Get his neighbor to pitch him on your crap, let them break it to him that he's gonna have to eat this and that fee/charge because of reasons out of their control.
You gotta admit its a pretty good formula when each dollar per customer can be upwards of one million dollars per month, the just shut up and take it routine makes allot of money paying a minimal salary in exchange just makes it sweeter.
I don't know where you work but if you were developing on a project that was going to be deployed to over 100+ Million workstations for a multi-billion dollar company and I was getting paid in the ball park they are getting paid in well you can put the rest together.
The idea is to sell the $20 install and yes as the bar raises in terms of exposure and acceptance people will install it themselves that is the idea. Once they do that they will need more advanced services which cost more. It would be similar to creating a "business";)
The company just exists to piss us off and spread FUD. If they didn't want the stigma of the company they would have started fresh just putting the money to another company hiring the same legal team and taking it from a slightly different point of attack. They're one step away from being a new company anyway, Darl is being let go there's just going to be another one. If it wasn't for them getting so much time in people's web browsers no one would even know they existed. So in short there are people with enough money involved to make the SCO company keep to its purpose, they aren't going to win anything since the OSS community is too fluid to necessarily point out a single block of code to bring down the whole "framework".
If anything now would be the time to advocate the Linux idea / OS more than ever. Computer kids out there get called all the time to fix friends and families computers, you should offer a special $20 install that would involve you installing a distro on their computer. The price is variable of course but distro's could work with the installers to make the going rate tempting enough for anyone to attempt to offer it at the price. People would look at it as quick cash, distributions would see that the easier it is for someone to install and educate the end user the more people will install their distribution for a price. Eventually as people grow more aware of the OS they will search out to install it themselves, at this point the OS will be so easy to install and run it will catch like wild fire.
Now the ones who were installing the OS move up to support / customization. What ever the price charged to do an install will be used as a type of yard stick of value. Eventually with computer power increasing and OS developers cooperation the time to install a running OS will take less time but as long as the price remains set and the operation is exact and efficient you will be making that $20-$40 in under 10 minutes. From there you can use that as a reference to charge for time in support and customization. As long as the initial price does not waver much people will build trust in the concept and the best will be in demand. This is the most diverse and distributed industry that will ever be.
You don't need to be certified to process credit card charges. It really depends on the quantity of processing and how the data is handled. You can be investigated to see if all transactions and data are encrypted to standard. An easy way to get around this is to go with a company that allows access via HTTPS where you submit the holders info and they do all the processing. As long as you keep all data pertaining to credit card numbers and other special account numbers owned by banks encrypted and central to your own physical computer then there is a lot you don't have to do.
As well unless you are processing millions of charges a year it will not take you 25k to have some one certify you. That is if you are big enough to deal directly with lets say visa or a bank directly is when you need that type of audit. Many companies exist (Eigen is one of them) that will take care of the communication to the bank its self while provided they only allow communications via a certified secure protocol (HTTPS/SSH/SFTP) you are good to go. You are required to sanitize the card numbers by removing the middle digits preserving just the first and last number of the card.

Don't you think the division between aristocracy and peasantry is just war as a self fulfilling prophecy?
Most lying shills do the same ;)
You know you seem like a nice guy and all, but they should check anyway, just in case ;)
In this infinite universe how can you be sure it has never happened?
Maybe the answer is the lighting industry is much bigger than it needs to be?
