One of the main reasons everyone says the iPod is as popular as it is that it "just works"..while the pocket pc can do everything that te Zune can do, it isn't as simple to use. Microsoft is trying to get the simple to use thing going with the Zune... I do wish they slap an 80gig hard drive in my xv6700 though... I do see your point..
Good point about leaving. Everyone blames the homeowner for not encrypting but at what point can we say nature is just weeding out a dumbass for pushing his luck way too far and not moving on to greener pastures. The article seems to state that it is unsecured wifi a-go-go in the area. How many times does this "warparker" have to be hit on the damn head with a hammer before he realizes it hurts. Just drive away. Don't leech for hours as the homeowner is pressed up against your car window...
cg the city wide city shots, and shoot tighter shots when you film the wonderfully stupid people of A-M... competent casting for the major roles would make up for alot...a great casting for CMOT Dibbler would make me forget the fx alot for the man-on-the-street shots. a bitter english clint eastwood type for vimes would carry the watch scenes.. and bob's your uncle... oh and feet of clay would be a great film. slavery, freedom, and livestock! what more could you want?
great.
now when some 10 year old white 50cent wanna be whoops your ass at yu gi oh or pokemon on the nintendo ds you can hear them talk trash to you, just like when the 13 year old white 50cent wanna be whoops your ass at halo and unreal tournament on the xbox and talks trash.
haha ga be is obviously the weak link at valve when it comes network security...two high profile embarassment for valve due to his amazing slackassity...someone should revoke all of his computer access and give him a rolodex, abacus, and a copy of hustler. that should keep him busy.
help me out...i thought linux was open source....the OS of the masses...how can someone who bases their code on a foundation of open source code sue someone else...couldn't linus torvald (i think that is his name) step in and say no to this? maybe i am misunderstanding the open source concept...
at&t owned the longdistance market not too long ago...the rates set by the market seems to have worked out there...cell phones, cable companies(VoIP), legit local phone competitors, etc. will keep the up the heat to keep prices low...do you really think people will continue to use a wired line if it is not price and service competitive?
get liscensed by the fcc...have a business plan and liscense...pay your taxes and fees...all the same things the evil baby bells have to do...and the cable companies...and the legitimate competitors who place their own cable( http://www.knology.com). follow the procedures and you can place your equipment. just be prepared to pay the taxes,franchise fees etc. that are a cash cow for the local government. but i also want you to provide phone service to poor old pedro the migrant worker who just put a trailer 20 miles outside of town and is wanting a single phone number so his family has a line of communication to the outside world... and it also needs to hooked up the mandated 911 service in your area...and then if i want to sell him my service AFTER you spent a hundred grand getting poor little pedro his phone line you MUST sell it to me for less than the cost per month it takes to maintain it(forget about the intial cost)....
other companies have access to the local market...it call an Unbundled Network Element(UNE)...the thing the babybells are fighting is the fact they have to sell these UNEs at a LOSS...you can't maintain these lines for very long if you are losing money with each sell...then who will keep up the network? smoke signal communications? cheapphoneco inc? i doubt it...why don't they let the phone companies come in a sell cable tv on the incumbant cable tv company's coax or fiber? same principal....
you are right. you have to have the fcc approve your application. a true attempt at competition would go through this trouble. the competition that the telecom act has provided allows fly by night shucksters come in,make a few bucks on penalties from the local phone companies then fade back into the night when they made their easy money. they get line access sold to them at BELOW COST. a few legit competitors to local phone companies have come in placing their own cable and have done well....baby bells do not have "exclusive" rights to place cable anywhere...they have an obligation to place cable where companies like at&t and sprint deem it unprofitable to fool with.
ah yes but these companies have the same right to place cable and fiber on the r/w subject local and d.o.t. requirements. franchis fees and taxes are paid on whatever is put into service,both buried and aerial...what if the government said you had to give every hitchiker a ride because you drive your car on their street? would you continue to support them?
the 1996 law gave companies like at&t and mci the right to get into phone service,while restricting the baby bells right to get into long distance. the long distance companies have been in local service, but they only target dense business districts with higher profit margins than residential markets. baby bells are required to serve everyone,regardless of profitability(sometimes spending thousands of dollars to serve 1 customer). all while having to jump through hoops to try to get into long distance and being heavily regulated. all the while the cable tv gestapo serves who they want,when they want and can jack up your freaking bill ten bucks a month without a damn warning....they're all bastards that are watching me through the powerlines anyway....i know they do....

but they could check with microsoft and their DRM software testing center..
Why should he rule out slavery? The market value might be higher and you would deprive the child of some valuable life experiences and lessons....

local carriers have backup generators in case of power failure...call away as long as your phone does not require batteries (like a cordless phone)
"And they SURE don't want to install new stuff for their competitors, in places where the old stuff already ran out, and rent it below cost.
This is one reason the incumbents don't want to roll out any new services while the UNE regs are in place. "
hell,would you?

haha cell companies still have minute restrictions...how close do you think they are on giving up unlimited highspeed bandwidth?
