NOW this is NEWS... U.S lawmakes support the U.S control of (put in subject here).
Go figure... now why would U.S lawmakers want to kee the control in the U.S?
Ummmm YEA YOU DO... if you connect to the internet you use the "Local Telco" atleast if you live in the U.S... who do you think provides your internet connection... Qwest, MCI, Sprint, etc... pretty much OWN the backbone to the internet and I guarantee your traffic is sent over their lines, and some of the money you pay for DSL or CABLE goes to these very companies..
Even VoIP Whole Sales Services or VoIP local service purchase service from these companies...
The local telcos will NEVER go away... PERIOD... even if voip takes over, which is will... people will still need to use the local telco for their internet backbone..
In the "Old Fashion Way" as you say, the telecomm industry was ONE company "Ma Bell" well just "Bell" but the phone company in general seems to be shrininking... it's like they got broken up into many companies and kept expanding, now they are all comming back together again with all the mergers taking place in the telecom industry.
It always amazes me how ALL THESE NEW firefox exploits are comming out, even more exploits then Microsoft someone recently told me... it's still amazing how I NEVER have problems with Firefox, or with my clients that use firefox, but all my NEW clients that run IE or OLD clients who forgot to STOP using IE, have serious problems...
That always amazes me how that works out...

For those who don't know, you can download a PocketPC version of Skype and put it on a Wifi enabled PDA with PocketPC so you can use skype wirelessly with no computer having to be turned on just your PocketPC..
Also since there is a linux client, you can also run this on a PDA that runs linux...
I would rather invest my money in having a WiFi Enabled PocketPC PDA/Cellphone which runs skype so I can make free calls from home to other skype users, as well as use my cell phone functions for local calls from Non Skype Users..
Obviously you didn't read the article but you are quick to bash SLASHDOT..
"The RIAA did what it is legally entitled to do; go after infringers of its copyright that it found on the P2P networks."
6. Ms. Andersen has never downloaded or distributed music online. She has not infringed on any of plaintiffs' alleged copyrighted interest.....
9...... Settlement Support Center is a Washington State phone solicitation company which engages in debt collection activities across the country.
You OBVIOUSLY need to read the Law regarding collection agencies and their practices.. I would start with the FDCPA... See FORTUNATLY there are laws that protect consumers from these CRAZY agencies making you pay money for things you haven't done...
If this wasn't the case I would just start my own collection agency and say you owe me money or I will sue you.
If I where this lady I would not only sue the RIAA but the Settlement Support Center... the FCC acutally imposes fines against collection agencies which practice ILLEGAL collection activities.
10. When Ms. Andersen contacted Settlement Support Center, she was advised that her personal home computer had been secretly entered by the record companies' agents, MediaSentry.
Next as far as I know it's against the LAW to "secretly enter" somone's computer without their permission... I could be wrong about this, but it seems to me this would be classified as HACKING...
I live in Colorado where only one party needs to know the conversation is being recorded... before I called any collection agencey I'd have the RECORD button on for incriminating remarks like this...
Did she yell stop the moment he "connected"? If not then she accepted the "connection" and no crime was commited..
Did we hear if the AP said "NO"?

Anatomy of a Hack
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Isn't this the truth...
While working for a fortune 500 company who will remain anonymous, I "handled" security and disaster recovery for the Unix team, after September 11th, I had a new title, was flying to the sunguard site in phili every 3 months for testing and had close to an unlimited budget to make sure we where safe from hackers, terrorists, could handle a major disaster etc..
It's very unfortunate that companies don't see the need for security and disaster recovery (which by the way go hand in hand) untill either the world trade center gets attacked or the company it's self gets attacked.
The short answer is Yes. The long answer is YES chances are it will shorten the productive life of your system..
As others have stated aboive running your system at 100% will increase heat etc... computers are like anthing else, run it hard enough and you will shorten the life span.
"Japan's Meteorological Agency said there was no danger of tsunamis, sometimes caused by undersea seismic activity. Iwo Jima is about 700 miles southeast of Tokyo."
Good thing Japan still is here... it would be a sad deay for american if we lost their great products...
I also didn't want to have to contribure to another tsunamis fund... good day for me...:)
"Japan's Meteorological Agency said there was no danger of tsunamis, sometimes caused by undersea seismic activity. Iwo Jima is about 700 miles southeast of Tokyo."
I was hoping to say goodby to their continent...

I stand corrected, you are right, a properly implemeted IIS solution includes a reverse apache proxy server running linux or solaris IN FRONT of the IIS machine..
Your right.. I "would "NEVER" implement IIS means that you would "NEVER" work with some of my customers who use things like MS Exchange and OWA"
OWA is crap, and so is exchange, while working at a "large" billing company, where I was serving as head of security I hacked OWA and immediatly put in measures to have it REMOVED.
I like to offer my customers a better choice then Outlook and OWA, for instance Domino, customers call me all the time asking for Outlook and OWA, and without a doubt I convince them otherwise. I worked for IBM for a few years and Domino and Lotus Notes is more cost effective, runs on windows, linux, solaris, and AIX, there is a web interface, and too many features to list here.. sorry you rip your customers off like that.. maybe you can give me their numbers?
Why did this get modded informative, more like naive:
"Let the other countries make their own DNS servers and agree to everyone just co-operating with each other.
How hard can it be?"
Have you ever heard of the U.N, if not let me tell you a bit about the U.N it stands for the United Nations and it was formed to basicly keep the peace (and a few other things), if we (the world) can't get an orginization to work which will help countries stop killing one another what makes you think that this DNS "co-operating" solution of yours will?
Not to mention that when ever the U.S feels fit to go against the U.N it does so when and how ever it wants. Which is what the U.S does when "co-operating" with other nations...
I live in the U.S and would perfer that they don't control the root DNS servers. Are they currently stable YES, do I belive that the reason they don't want to let go is becuase of:
"We backed out of a plan to hand control over to ICANN because we were concerned? DU-H! Any country as powerful or even close would probably have done the same thing."
When you think in terms of U.S concerns remember that "Saddam Hussein Had Nukes". Makes me sleep ok at night when the U.S has "concerns".
I agree with you for the most part.. however if you start implementing VoIP PBX solutions for your customers and it crashed regularly yes, you are gonna make a bit of cash off your customer, but it's also going to make you look like a CRAPPY consultant..
I believe in a mix of Unix, Linux and MS solutions for my customers.. I don't look so bad when PCs crash, but when their mail server or web server is down because IIS got doss attacked it makes me look horible(or probably would, I NEVER would implement an IIS Solution...).
I have implemented many asterisk solutions for customers who are very happy with the realiability, price, and quality of the product.. I would hate to get calls from customers all the time saying they can't call out becasue of SpyWare.
Well unless they really stabalize their operating system or decide NOT to use it and use something basied on Unix like the GSX9000 then they will never be able to compete with the core VoIP market.. I have a few friends who work for one of the largest telecos in the U.S on their VoIP hardware and he tells me their switches handle millions of phone calls every second.. I don't know any MS software that can do the same..
Now as far as them marketing and profiting off of a desktop application which integrates with VoIP I could easily see... I could see them integrating it with Windows Media player... Radio, TV, Movies, Make A Phone call... just like X-Lite or other VoIP softphones all you need is a VoIP provider, speaker and mic..
I could also see their "Live Communications Server" product becoming a widely used VoIP platform for small to mid sized businesses of 10-20 people..
Hopefully people see the benefit of applications like Asterisk which are highly scalable and much more cost effective then MS based solutions.
