**Evidence of a shooting war in cyberspace was uncovered by anti-virus vendor F-Secure. The company reported that one of the spam sites under attack by the Lycos screensaver simply added a Meta Refresh tag that redirected all incoming traffic back to Lycos.**
Does the article say anything about the screensavers ability to execute said meta refresh? No. The article is obviously written by a journalist that knows little about http. A meta refresh can't possibly "redirect all incoming traffic".
If you are calling from payphone to payphone, what does it matter if it's tapped/logged? Assuming you don't use names, or mention times and/or locations..
obviously you've never had a cell phone, and realized how damn usefull they are.
Just because some people use them incorrectly, doesn't mean you wouldn't be able to make good use of one. With your argument, because some guy in an SUV cut you off, or a granny in a buick is driving 10 under the speed limit in the left hand freeway lane, it makes all cars bad, and you won't drive them.
doesn't make any sense, does it? If you know how to drive, and you can useyour automobile correctly, that's really all that matters, now isn't it?
Yes all these people with thier credit card numbers stolen all ate dinner at the same restaurant within, say a week of each other. I don't know, that seems pretty easy to me. Easy to track the person that stole them and sold them.
Even with online use, it can be easy to track something like that down.
Gnutella, FreeNet, and others need to learn one thing, User Base is good..The only way you get a large user base now days, is to make the program user friendly. That's why napster has done so well, and why scour did so well. IMHO, Scour was much better than napster, Though napster had the larger user base, and scour exchange had a few bugs in it (ok, more than just a few).
there is GSM in chicago. but it is just experimental (ie, not reliable). VoiceStream is getting ready to launch a new market there. My personal opinion? They need to expand coverage in the markets they already have.
Voicestream is growing quickly, they acquired Aerial and Omnipoint, and then Powertel, then Deutsche Telekom acquired Voicestream, Then VoiceStream turns around and buys SOL Communications (Nice name, huh?).
If this DT merger goes through, I think you can expect some great things out of GSM.
And from the geek perspective, I can't share what it is, but you will be very impressed with what VoiceStream will have for you, in terms of wireless internet.
I have no respect for the office anymore. I used to when i was a child, no longer. You remember back in high school? when they voted class president? And the popular kid, the preppy kid or the hot girl got elected? And then when they did get elected, those kids didn't know half an ass about what to do with it (as if you COULD do anything with it) let alone represent and carry out the wishes of the students. yeah..this is the exact same thing. Way to go america, I wonder if we'll ever fucking learn..
So technically, by that standard, if I use marijuana on the weekends, at home, with friends, while drinking beers. Keep in mind I'm not "abusing"..That would be ok with DARE? I would like to believe that, but it simply is not true.
Let me clarify this for you, perhaps you haven't been in the public education system for a while. GRADES ARE NOT AN INDICATION OF INTELLIGENCE. I don't think anyone on this board will disagree.
Most truly intelligent people I know, didn't do very well at all in school, myself included. Of course, these same people, have a thirst for knowledge, and do GO to school everyday, and go to class, they just don't waste thier time on the bullshit homework, which makes up the vast majority of the grade. I know that in my case, I was a frequent user, went to school everyday, had fun, didn't do homework, took all the tests, and guess what? Did very well on the tests, aced most of them. But still ran about a D+ average. What does that tell you?
I have a 10/100 hub as standard equiptment, sitting on top of my subwoofer, connecting the 3 computers in my room, and leading to the other room, where there is another 10/100 hub, and cable modem, and another 3 computers.
I really don't understand how one can be "hard-core geek" with only one desktop computer. I just don't get it.
And also, you have to remember. in order to put dialup onto these devices, the company brand has to create the infrastructure to support all those phone calls coming in. It would be cheaper for them to just leave it up to the user to get connected (I'm speaking strictly on getting communcation between the 2 parties).
well obviously, you have to have multiple computers, or something TO network. my apartment isnt completely wired, but enough. At one point, we did have cat5 running to the kitchen.

all bets are off when you are roaming.

powertel was recently acquired by VoiceStream.
what kind of an asshole votes for bush OR gore? they are both "revolting pieces of shit". to hell with both of them.

I would agree to those. except now, there are
<ul>
<li>Goths
<li>Gangsters
<li>Trailer Park Kids
</ul>
probably always have had the latter, but who knows, figured I'd throw it on the list anyways, since it has come to that.
I didn't mention getting drunk anywhere in my post, just drinking beers.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education
Drug use is an Education
So technically, by that standard, if I use marijuana on the weekends, at home, with friends, while drinking beers. Keep in mind I'm not "abusing"..That would be ok with DARE? I would like to believe that, but it simply is not true.
Thats bad. :)
across the board. DARE DOES NOT WORK, neither does the war on drugs.
It's through, all over, done for. Stop wasting our god damn money!

and forget idling on an IRC channel with cable. I am sick to my stomach with this service.
I can really see these satelite services charging per data transfered. Or monthly fee, for 1 gig or so, and then having to pay extra.
I don't think thats how DirecPC does it, but it could be.
your friends aren't nearly geeky enough.
I have a 10/100 hub as standard equiptment, sitting on top of my subwoofer, connecting the 3 computers in my room, and leading to the other room, where there is another 10/100 hub, and cable modem, and another 3 computers.

It would be cheaper for them to just leave it up to the user to get connected (I'm speaking strictly on getting communcation between the 2 parties).
I agree with your point here, but also you must take into consideration, that the vast majority of those people have land phone lines in addition.
I'm aware that not all people have ethernet internet access, but for Ford's sake (anyone catch that?), make it an option.
well obviously, you have to have multiple computers, or something TO network. my apartment isnt completely wired, but enough. At one point, we did have cat5 running to the kitchen.
