  1. Re:The Three Point Plan on Recovering Domains from Negligent Registrars? · · Score: 0

    I've had an absolutely horrific experience trying to get a domain away from Technology By Design, LLC., which uses Wild West Domains, which is owned by Go Daddy. Actually, during my struggles I contacted Network Solutions, whom by the way I've never had a problem with, and even they couldn't help me to get it free. I eventually left the domain there. They won the battle, but lost the war.

    Ever thought that he did mispeak by actually mentioning the "Internets"? Maybe there are Internets. Like the big CIA, FBI, conspiracy theory type of Internets.

  4. log files...what are those? on Proposed Federal Rules On E-Document Destruction · · Score: 0

    I run an ISP and I maintain log files nada. None from squid, sendmail, nada. I do though monitor aggregate bandwidth, but not outside ip's, from my dummynet box. This way I can legitimately look a judge in the eye and say, "your honor, I know nothing". You don't have to destroy something you never had in the first place. Oh, and nearly all my customers run behind a single natted public ip. Anyone have this beat for consumer privacy?

  5. Re:there is no right to privacy being a domain hol on Private .US Registrations Disallowed by NTIA · · Score: 0

    Agreed, but my analogy I believe is quite accurate. That's the problem with the Internet and privacy. To be public in "real" life you must give up your privacy to "go public". You risk being fingered. To be "public" on the Internet it just requires some nut with time on his hands hiding behind a monitor and keyboard blurting out crap.

  6. there is no right to privacy being a domain holder on Private .US Registrations Disallowed by NTIA · · Score: 0

    You may not like what I have to say, but there should be no right to privacy for ANY domain name. The nature of the Internet is public, albeit those browsing the net have a guaranteed right to privacy. But those participating in the public nature, ie. using a domain name, of the net have no right to privacy. This is like standing out in a public square shouting, but when someone recognizes you and blurts your name out, you scream that your privacy has been violated. For those who want to live privately, I would recommend not using a public forum (the Internet) to express your views. Get out of the Internet entirely for that matter. I heard drywall hanging is a fairly private career.

  7. Re:Is Vonage the right person to sue? on Texas Attorney General Sues Vonage over 911 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Or just have isps start correlating phsical addresses to mac addresses. It's funny how your mac is tied to your address for billing purposes, but there is no way to do a reverse lookup of sorts for this type of purpose. Or just become like me:

    I don't dial 911! Get it?

  8. An unfortunate case. on Growth of Wi-Fi Opens New Path for Thieves · · Score: 1, Informative

    From my experience, there is simply no way around having interlopers on your network unless you tunnel an ipsec'ed connection over the air. Granted many ap's use default settings, but even those that do not can usually be sniffed for legitimate mac addresses and subverted. To see if your ap is susceptible, you can test it against this month's article in 2600.

    The truth in the matter might be that they only built their network out for those wearing cheeky glasses and surfing on low bandwidth cell phones to read their news. In an attempt to stop the virtual DOS attack from new Google users they're suing.

  12. That was never spelled out in the EULA on Microsoft to Offer Patches to U.S. Govt. First · · Score: 0

    I understand that EULAS can change from time to time and that your continued use makes you agree to the new terms. But, this is a pretty significant change. Many people might argue they would never have bought Windows if they were not going to receive security updates in a "timely" and unabated manner. Can I get my money back?

  13. digital eavesdropping laws? on AIM's New Terms Of Service · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but I thought that in the US that it was illegal to capture Internet communications such as VOIP, email, etc. Granted aol added this into their TOS, but wouldn't this still be riding the edge of legality?

  14. Re:We Need A Microsoft Section on Microsoft Calls For Patent Law Change · · Score: 1, Funny

    Look at BSD. Nobody reads that, yet they get their own.

    Pardon me, but I read the BSD section quite often.

    BSD is to Windows like the American Armed Forces is to its enemies. It takes one BSD admin to wipe out 100 Windows admins.

    Using this ratio, Windows gets underreported! :)

  15. Re:No simulation... on Linux-based Mesh Router Aims at VoIP and Video · · Score: 1

    Granted there are seperate channels for up and down links, but the channel, or actually radio, is only able to send or receive at any given moment. In this example, one is swicthing for the front end and the other is switching for the back end. None the less, by definition half duplex. It would need a total of 4 radios; 2 of which only listen and 2 that only receive to be full duplex.
