I only have the Cox high tier net service. It's $50 a month but I get 20/5 service. The cable company you had sounds like real winners, was it Comcast by chance?
That said, you pay only $105 a year? That's a hell of a deal.
Verizon is using some pretty tricky things to sign people onto FIOS. And I as a dedicated Verizon hater do my best to counter it.
Example, I've pushed a half dozen people away from Verizon when I explained that their costs for the same service would actually RISE if they switched away from Cox.
In one case the sales droid for Verizon told one former co-worker of mine that Verizon owned all the coax cable that Cox used. That's complete and utter bullshit. Cox owns all the coax.
Actually we implemented an Rsnapshot server to run every 15 minutes and we kept 8 hours of backups. The nice thing was Rsnapshot did incremental very well.
As to the AD/Exchange conversion, I was still there when all the gear and software rolled in. It all came in during April 2007. I was talking to the other systems guy and asked what his gut estimate was for lights-on. He figured January 2008, here we are in March and it still isn't up. That's because they laid me off and the other systems guy all of a sudden got stupid on them. It's too funny.
Mission Critical Email - why I won't use MS Prods

White House Email Follies

· Score: 3, Interesting
I cannot stand Microsoft Exchange in any of it's versions. It is nothing but an I.T. headache of the worst kind. Try backing up the mail store, I dare you. After spending several thousand more dollars you'll be close but no cigar.
In my former place of employment we used a lot of OSS for things like web, email, database, etc. Even Samba. We had a few MS-SQL environments but I stayed as far from those as I could. For email we used Qmail with a SquirrelMail front end, and for web it was Apache/Plone and databases were MySQL.
The nice thing about Qmail is it stores email in user home folders. They're flat files that are easily replicated and backed up.
When the new administration came in the Director of Admin was paranoid about the fact that I.T. could see her email folder. So they went out and spent a shitload of money on AD, Exchange, etc.
That was a year ago. They still don't have it all running.
Sneakernet. Remember the days when a floppy got passed from person to person, before reliable broadband came to the U.S.? I do.
But the Cuban government is doomed. They have to know that they're in a very bad position because once a view outside Cuba gets in, their days in office become numbered.
Which means in all likelihood it's carried on optical fiber. Someone should chop that fiber into a million little pieces. And then lets litigate the current incumbents into non-existence and have companies that understand the rule of law take over.
Providence Public Library is pretty good. They've got a very large collection and their inter-library loan system is fantastic. Helps that Rhode Island is so small. They also get new books very frequently so when I see recommendations the first thing I do is search the online catalog and reserve the book. I'm willing to wait a little bit as I'm a frugal sort anyhow.
But I'd love a library like the SPL. That is totally awesome.
I got bit by a scheme. They drained my account and then the bank didn't want to hear it. They're still chasing me for $1,300.
Here in the U.S. we simply use either card alone, or card and PIN. About 8 months ago some enterprising fraudsters managed to replace the credit card terminals in Stop & Shop supermarkets. And of course one that I frequented got hit.
The banks need to be taken to task for this. So too do agencies like APACS and their U.S. counterparts. I know that Stop & Shop replaced all their credit card terminals with what they say are more secure but I know they're hackable.
The solution is to use something other than PIN, like a thumbprint. And encrypt the data stream between the card reader and the processor. But even at that, you still have the card data being transmitted in the clear from the read head on through.
Because that.5% will be passed along to we subscribers as a 5% bump. An excuse is an excuse but I'm a little interested that they're now attacking DOCSIS since my cable modem has been using it for almost a decade now.
For example, if you've got a laptop sitting in your lap you're pretty much exposing yourself to relatively high levels of microwave radiation in the 2.4GHz band. Even cordless phones now are up there.
We're all going to die because of wireless freedom.
I don't know about that. We're doing an awful lot of development on things like ion drive. If the administration is serious about resurrecting the space program, screw the moon. We've been there, done that, even got the t-shirt.
Instead leap off to Mars, then Saturn then Titan.
Our dependence on oil is strictly because of political motives, not because alternatives don't exist. That's why I'd love for the debacle in Iraq to be ended and the military budget slashed in half. Take the slashed half and use it for things like energy programs, or health care, or even education!
I had an email exchange with the office of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse regarding this issue. He comes down on the fence in this but I suspect he voted yes which really disappoints me. But then I know which side his bread is buttered on and whose pocket he's in so it comes as no surprise.
Google Maps with street view could easily be stretched to include tax information. I don't see what the tax office stands to gain though the $100K plus for all images might be a clue.
I wonder about that too. Of course it could be China too, part of their operations are to disable U.S. forward looking systems and if they meant to send troops into the middle east, this would the way to do it.
But cutting off a vast part of Asia was another thing. Essentially you've limited Africa and Asia and my spam box has been blessedly empty.
Is that since the cable cut my spam folders and inbox have been blessedly free of spam! I always say, you want to cut the crap with email and phishing, cutoff the net connections to Africa and Asia.
That all that dark fiber that runs up I-95 through to I-93 and from Boston on down the east coast isn't already there? I watched them rip up medians to put that glass in place.
Yeah but here's the thing. Some of us limit texting due to cost. I refuse to pay 20 cents inbound and outbound on text messages. Verizon is no better btw.
In this household there is no cable television, just a little OTA 19" set for when something major is going on which is pretty much never nowadays. The SO just likes the background noise.
But with services like Joost, and all the online movie sites that are already online or coming shortly it's looking more like television is dead.
I've also taken to watching the Real News clips on YouTube. I like the concept, it's essentially a publicly supported news gathering organization. I'd like to see local groups do the same in communities all across the country. The key difference with Real News is that it isn't just 30 second sound bites, they actually do a bit of analysis.
Virtually every email application out there allows you to set responses to top post. Additionally, if you have to mix text which I do on occasion when I want to address specific points is to judiciously cut text and then put your response directly next to the relevant point you're trying to expand on.
When I heard that it was a crash and not just an off-runway incident I knew it had to be avionics. Aircraft now are so dependent upon avionics that if it fails, they will simply lose power. That there isn't serious redundancy in a fly-by-wire aircraft amazes me.
Done an nslookup or a dig lately? You violated ND law. Visited a web page, you violated ND law. Sent email? Violated ND law.
The judiciary is there to protect us from bad law, not to litigate more bad law. This is what happens when clueless ideologues are appointed as jurists.
That is the problem. It seems as though Flash is the way to go on this and if you're running Firefox you just run the Flashblock add-on. It puts a little 'f' where the flash module wants to run.
Between Flashblock and AdBlock I love the web.

What I found more interesting is the proven natural gas on earth. If I'm reading correctly, there is a 300 year supply.
But I wonder how long before we start mining Titan.

Worst part is I used to work for the guy.

In essence they're penalizing people for using the net. Sure they may charge you more but will they build out a better network, no they won't.
It's a money grab, plain and simple. I note that Cox has been noticeably silent on this issue.
I wonder about that too. Of course it could be China too, part of their operations are to disable U.S. forward looking systems and if they meant to send troops into the middle east, this would the way to do it.

This is classic. Attorneys should know to perhaps talk to someone with a technical background to find out about zone transfers.
Hopefully sanity will break out in ND.
