You need to set up a well-placed gateway transceiver that delivers the net to your 'side' of things. There's no reason why a neighbor's wifi being 'weak' should affect you.
That's just because Apple was about to tank so badly that a firm like Sun Microsystems would buy them, before Steve Jobs decided to 'save the company' by spending the rest of his life selling sugar water to children. (an actual iTunes promotion did just this in partnership with Pepsi). Scully wins in the end.
Or by then, there will be third-party vendors publishing security updates.
Really, there should be already. Microsoft shouldn't be required to 'open source' their older software, but maintenance should be handed off to third party companies under NDA. A few legal rulings like that would help things quite a bit.
But there's never any sensible discussion about Microsoft and anti-trust, from either 'mainstream' side in the issue.
O'Reilly didn't used to publish a lot of Windows-specific book titles. They were cooler back in the era when they mainly published books for the classic UNIX tools (i.e. SED/Awk, the multi-volume X Windows Reference series (which is a quite COMPLETE reference for X if you run it bareboned with good old TWM) and even some of the BSD manual volumes. Toward the end of the 90's geek-chic sort of damaged the whole scene. Now they publish comix.
They do produce some of the best Windows-oriented books, of course. Actually almost the only ones worth purchasing. Lower screenshot-count (a fairly accurate measure of a Windoze book's worth) than many of the alternate publishers.
Progressives, on the other hand, tend to over-estimate the robustness of society. They believe that things will keep working reguarless of how much the institutions of civilization change.
Translation: "They believe that The Man will somehow manage keep things going no matter how much they fuck things up."
The founding of the U.S of A. - hardly golden, it's success was only made possible by the exploitation of thousands of slaves.
Wow, you've learned some really weird history. Something tells me whomever is teaching you that stuff also has made it clear they are 'persecuted' by the 'mainstream historians' who 'don't want the truth to get out.'
The kind of 'history' that holocaust deniers and other similar critters traffic in, incidentally.
At the place where I work, my desktop PC is older than a stack of the Dell machines I have stuck out in the garage. (hint- the better Dell machines here at home are stacked in the second bedroom).
I tell people occasonally "you know, I bought a computer better than the one there on your desk at a University Auction a few months ago for $6." It's fun to make comments like that. But truth is, the machines at work are quite adequate for the work they're used for. Microsoft should probably be nervous, because Windows 2000 and Office 98 are plenty enough for most businesses.
The whole point of community standards is to make it so that you can live in SF or LA or NYC or Mpls and be part of that community and live with the culture of your community. If you live in cracker-land (though your ridiculous parody cracker-land shows you have NFC how people in those areas live) you live within THOSE community standards.
The alternative to 'community standards' is national-level cultural slap-down and/or total out-of-control chaos.
I think the people in, for an example, San Francisco like that they get to establish their own community standards.
The people who plan and manage public-transit routes generally are the same people pushing for big centralized population centers. You know, the people who bemoan 'sprawl,' because people should all live in high-rise apartment buildings.
Hence, they lay out the bus routes as a 'hub' design, where all traffic heads into the central city. I've lived places where the only way to take a bus from one suburb to an adjacent suburb was to bus downtown and bus back out.
There is a clique pushing an ideology who need to be pushed out of power before there can be decentralized, practical mass transit that goes where people WANT, not where busybodies THINK they should go.
The Truth of 9/11 even Ted Turner saw, and when he spoke out he was then threated with Anthrax, upon which he publicly appologized... so to remove that threat by the US governemnt. What he had said was that 9/11 was an act of desparation, and being the new media person he is, the question coms up... what was he refering to?
Hold on, now. You're spinning weird conspiracy theories there. Ted Turner was squelched by somebody threatening him personally with Anthrax?
It's good that you capitalized 'The Truth' up there. Many people similarly capitalize the word 'God.'
Do I dare even ask what your position is regarding having the FBI crack down on dirty movies?
In most cases it's an inappropriate use of the FBI. Most producers and distributors of 'dirty movies' (a label that's hard to pin down) are in voluntary compliance with the community standards of their location. And where they are not, usually local authorities can take action.
Then virtually all entertainment content is produced by 'a monopoly market.' I guess it may continue to remain amusing to shrilly screech 'monopoly' in certain circles, but it gets old.
Granted, imprisoning people for thoughtcrime is a far sight better than killing them for it. But can it really be considered fundamentally (heh) different in spirit?
Maybe we should find out firsthand by asking the dead guy.

He already has a 'movies studio' as such, dumped Disney. He has the balls and guts to stick it up em. And is friends
with Bill Clinton.
You were making sense right up there until the end...

Maytag is about to give all of their profits (well, their losses, actually) to Whirlpool.

Telegraph?
Very Unlikely.

My PowerBook 165c still looks really, really nice.
It probably will forever, having lasted this long. . .
Which just goes to show that if you hammer away at people long enough you can coerce them into doing all sorts of unpopular things.
What was that about this country being a democracy??

Until then, people will vote with their cars.
I guess the UN inspectors recalled immediately before the US invasion just weren't vigorous enough, eh?
Correct. Were you trying to be sarcastic?

Z Magazine is not a credible impartial journal. You might as well have cited National Review magazine, or RevolutionaryWorker.com.
Except that he didn't have them.
1. He did have them in the past.
2. He actually used them in attacks on civillians.
3. He refused to allow a vigorous inspection to prove he didn't have them.
And anyway, he likely had them up 'til the day of the invasion, when they were trucked to Syria.
You have to accept the evidence people offer, even if it doesn't win your arguement.
Or you can get to work proving it's a lie.
Typing in a bromide just shows you concede your point.
Then virtually all entertainment content is produced by 'a monopoly market.' I guess it may continue to remain amusing to shrilly screech 'monopoly' in certain circles, but it gets old.
I was pointing out that it's fundamentally different in spirit.
60 hours of screwing around. How much of it (it sounds like a lot) coercing a machine to allow you to run a X11 desktop simultaneously.
Why did you waste that much time? Get a second box to run X11 desktop on. My estimation is that it would be cheaper than 60 hours of your time.
Unless you like that kind of messing around.
Why doesn't this [Bush] administration pay Americans to build these Soyuz like crafts instead of simply buying?
Trade Union labor and NASA bureaucrats would become involved, and the quality would go to shit.
Come on, don't let mediocrity take over EVERYTHING.

Oh, wait, we can't.
