  11. Re:Why no marketing on cell phones? on Do Not Call List Under Attack · · Score: 1

    I understand that, but why would that stop sleezy telemarketers? What do they care if their stupid sales pitch is eating up my minutes.

    It just seems like an unusual example of restraint on behalf of the telemarketers. It got me wondering if there was actually a law or just their good faith (which is hard to believe).

    Thanks for the answer.

  17. MIT Open Courseware on Teaching Computer Lit. in Developing Countries? · · Score: 3, Informative

    MIT is putting all of its course materials online.

    There should be plenty of stuff in there to cull for your introductory courses.

  18. PDF on How Do You Store and Reconcile Email Archives? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I delete almost everything, and only save a few very important or personal emails. For those I do keep, I print to PDF, and archive by date and person/subject. It works exceptionally well for me. It is all electronic, takes very little disk space, and keeps the clutter to a minimum, and eliminates most of the cross platform nightmares.

  19. TurboTax Online is free... on Open Source Tax Products? · · Score: 1

    Why is Henry Reardon the only one allowed to make Reardon Metal?

    This is a serious question.

    Why should the government grant a monopoly to company to manufacture a product, whose shortage would be detrimental to its citizens?

    However, an action such is this once taken, might heomrrhage the future of the research and development forever.

    A fascinating topic of political/economic/scientific importance.

    Where is the justice? :-)

  22. Oh no....... on Google Announces 'Mini' Search Appliance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    High that explains why that Jessica Simpson song I downloaded suddenly made my head explode. :-)

  24. Varies by country.... on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I make quite a few international calls.

    The cost depends on two major factors....
    1. Which country you are calling
    2. Where the calls are originating

    I was a big fan of BigZoo, especially for calls from the U.S. into Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and most of the stans.

    Though I don't know why, most of the indepent resellers seem to be ditching the business.

    Your local company (AT&T, etc.) always seem to have the cheapest price into neighboring countries (Canada, Mexico, England, and now even Japan.)

    For calls originating outside of the US and calling in, callback services always seem to work best, though there doesn't seem to be much difference between them. The internet call back service are tolerance for voice communications.
