They also have in there that any lost data is also your problem.
I.E. The most usless hdd space ever. You will be using a harddrive that could give out at any minute, and if it does, you have no one to blame but your self. As they know, and we know "you were warned".
Because then, if your o/s fucks up, you can blame a email provider!....
Wait no....
I KNOW! Because, then you can basicly MOVE you machine from one place to another (especially easy if your hardware is exactly the same).
This reminds me of that ask slashdot, where some guy mentioned that we would no longer have our own PC O/S on our pc, but have it all hosted somewhere, meaning we could "log on" any pc and use our files, our set ups etc etc.
But instead of just making a point and being helpful, you just blindly slag it off and leave it. Your comment is as bad as his question.
Why not leave him some links to the other slashdot articls?

AOL Dialer for Linux

For the UK dsl connection, windows STILL sees it as a dialup connection. Which makes me think that it should be pretty easy to "hack". Making my above comment valid.

it was illegal on tapes too, just how do you stop that many people? Looks like they trying now... (and are still failing..)

AOL Dialer for Linux

Guys, for ages i tried to find a way around the AOL client on windows machines. Quite hard until aol decided that it would be a good idea to offer this.
First they produced a dialer like this, which would run aol endorsed software to connect for you, but nothing else (i.e. no stupid gui for the net).
This was better, but still not perfect, as it still involved telling the machine to connect, and not a true network (as the computer saw it, it was a dialup connection, how ever a very fast one).
Aol then seemed to drop this idea altogether and let users use the default I.E. connection tool to connect to AOL!. I found it took quite awhile to find how to do this, if anyone needs to know, email me.
Basicly when you installed the nasty USB modem they give you, it sets up the connection, you just need to put in your user name and password and your away. (You dont even need the BT client, *UK* users only i belive?).
As i found i could do this on windows, surely linux users either DONT use aol (why would they? they have more skills than that) or know how to implement this same work around linux-side.
Either way, it means that this dialer is redundent, it doesn't actually do anything we couldn't do already?
Except maybe make Linux more user friendly to people new to linux i guess?
Im not bothered about script kiddies but we must of all seen Irobot now.
Imagine what happened with the main (nonexistant) chara, the one we never actually meet. Now what happened to him.
Now place a human in place of the large computer mainframe. Bit scary hey?
I.e. lets think along the lines of medical help at home, a nurse turns your heating on for you in the winter (your old and frail...). Would have a special checking device to make sure it doesn't get to cold / hot.
That is it works, until the nurse decides she doesn't like you any more and overrides the safety. Bit scary now?
And dont tell me this could never happen, here in the UK we have had loads of doctors knocking off patients, they get found in the end but most of the time its sadly too late.
Every one hates being charged for bad drivers (in the UK this is especially true, trust me, having the slowest car ever and having insurance that costs more than the car ever will).
It means that can basicly monitor your speed, they can then see the fast, and the slow drivers (and slow being dangerious on motorways (freeways?)).
This would mean that they would be able to see your REAL driving skill. Surely this is a good thing, but like always the public will throw it out due to "privicy". (Bit like the idea of IDcards? only people that complain are the criminals with something to hide).
Longer i watch, the more i see the whole movie industry moving away from the use of Macs and Apple altogther.
I did 2years in a Btec where my leacture would go on and on about how great apple were.
Yet he never actually buys the machines, the college buy them for him (including his laptop)... Im going off subject and have forgotton the point of this.
Oh yeh, tbh its doing nothing i haven't seen done before, and it might work great with other Mac software... but how about exporting?

WiFi Gone Wild

lol...
and the movie was battle royal?!
Free wifi is a dangerious idea tbh. if its free, you need some kind of authrisation on the netowrks first, so you know whos connecting.
They should set up some kind of service, where they can check whom you are first, so if you go on some hacking spree they know whom to blame.
A simple online form to fill in will do, but you get the idea. (like having the isp know whom you are!)
BUT it is a good thing, this means that no one can, ACCIDENTLY go onto a child porn site. Something which i've always feared tbh. As even temporary files can be concidered as stored information. Accidently finding such a site "could" get you into alot of trouble.
I use a 9 letter password, it was 6 but some fuker saw it a few years back, now i type it so fast (plus fake key strokes).
Truth is, dont put anything behind a password which is THAT important. ANY password is crackable, what isn't tho is your imagination. We need mind readers so we can just "think" a image of our password:)

Especially along the lines of free speach,
How ever, before any of this can REALLY take off, we first must insure that the underlying security is safe.
Dont build on quicksand if it has windows in it!.
or maybe its a 0-bit mod?!
He scores 1, i score 0?
Guess im scoring in a 1bit process....
Maybe, but lets see you use it?!
Making something secure is clever, but only if its still usable!
