so what you want is a national or even international Pneumatic tubes for mail delivery.. kidna like what they use at banks and walmarts...
while i think international system would be very hard and expensive.. there have been ones developed for localised area's.. several blocks at walstreet - even runs of several miles..
i dont' know if AT&T has any deals// or if they have ever limited people BUT i do know that i have done well over 15GB in one month with my unlimited plan - and they have never said anything to me.. i have been very temped to build a wifi AP into my car useing a 3g card for net have the ap open/mac filter and battery powered... that way i would have wifi on my laptop/desktop aslong as i am within 2-300 feet of my car.. which is practily always... *when you need access at home the car is in the driveway at work in the parkinglot (small building) your car goes with you everywhere.. makes a good mounting point.. and i don't think that an ap would drian the battry too much.
your right.. ISP's for consumer (the every day joe) don't give a shit..
in contrast..
i have had an incident where one of my box's was constantly being hit by a couple of box's - looked and they are all very close to each other subnet wise.. did further looking up found the data center they belonged to.. placed a phone call.. gave the ip's and the actions... *listened to guy typing* chatted for a few min.. once they confirmed (while i was still on the phone) they turned the box's off..
what does this say.... that no one is perfect - BUT it is only the people who know what is going on that will do something about it. Information is what kills these things.. sadly your average Joe has no chance of cleaning this from their comp.. and sadly most of the places they would take their comps to wouldn't know either (sorry but some times i want to shoot geek squad jsut to put them out of their missery)
- also people don't want to pay for their comp to get fixed.. all they want to do is blame others.. and the ISP for that type of person wants to keep having money coming in every month.. the ISP makes sure that THEIR systems are fine and let their customers play on the dirty net...
everyone here should remember code red.. i would hope that they also remember code green - while code green is still considered a virus i feel it was one of the best things someone could do..
for the way and size that storm apprenty has grown - something needs to be done to it the same way code green did.
i wish it was that simple.. personly we don't care about creating pdf's inhouse.. BUT DocWorks requires the adobe distiller (yes only certian versions for each version of DocWorks) so that when you print from your computer to the Oce - it goes via DocWorks.. so what youa re suggesting might work for some.. but not for us.. the network connection is between the local docworks printer client to the docworks server..
sorry if you have ever messed with docworks you know how little hair i should have left.. while it has some good ideas and works well in a perfect environment in reality.. it needs alot of work
God of War is the only game i have ever seen that has managed to pull of the truly Epic feel... also i love the time they spend on the auto camera angle.. because you never once have to think or wish you could move it.. you can always see exactly what you want/need to see in every scean.. almost like you ware playing a movie... truely a great game and i am saddened it is under the sony umbrela.. i mihgt have to buy the 3rd and rent a ps3 for a day to play it (and yes only a day.. 1 took me 8 hours 2 took me 10.. very addictive game)
Telephone lines have common carrier status, so they can't do that. Internet lines were denied the same designation Check the law before you post. You know all that spam blocking that gets done with e-mail. Yeah is that not modifying the packet. It is blocking it and if you think about it from a high level view the packet is modified. It was being sent one second and the next it is destroyed to nothing. what i see is the real problem is two things
A) they did this without telling the customer - no notices - hell they still deny it (gives people a reason to break contract and go else where - bad biz pratice)
B) they are intenonaly impersonating users. this is the more serious problems they are in - they are spoofing the source address and in effect commiting Identy Theft - which is a crime.. and if i remember correctly.. they just updated the laws about.
but the browser on the iPhone is the first to allow the sytem to get rooted by viewing a page with a bad image.. (not exactly the browsers fault but true) honestly Opera on any WM device is quite nice and works jsut as well or better
if you think the mail on the iPhone is best you are either crazy or citeing personal wants - the fact that the iPhone has IMAP is nice - the fact that it doesn't support fast message retrival sucks expecialy sence it is stuck on edge and no 3g - also the fact that it doesn't jsut cash the headers and then retreive the body or precharge folder data.. instead it connects and jsut starts downloading, every thing - oh and try and load up an imap conenction and figure out if all your messages are there.. or if it is still downloading.. it has no clue and no way to tell you..
the calendar eh.. same old same old (the no copy paste text really screws this.... get you an e-mail from someone wnat to move the body of it into an appoint ment.... opps.. you get to retype it...)
music, video yes it does this well.. very well.
while screen is prety.. it is nice.. i like it.. WTF i can't use a stylus.. seriously... not everyone has small hands/digits - tried typing on it.. couldn't stand it.. but no i can't use a stylus.. hell i can't even use the tip of my fingernail.. it needs a skin contact... so instead of hav eto use the far tip of my pinky to avoid fudging.. sorry.. that 1 things annoys the shit out of me
while the iphone is neet.. there are some serious short comings... things you expect them to be better at by now...
i don't remember anything frustrating in either god of war, that has to be one of the most thought out games ever, and i will be saddened if the 3rd is PS3 only....
as others have pointed out.. i am not completely blaming Adobe.. (while i am annoyed at them) it is still MS's fault for breaking backwards compat for no good reason..
we are not talking the latest and greatest GUI API.. or the latest network protocal - we are talking about printers - things that havn't had much of a core API change in years.. sure additions.. but MS's vista is the ONLY OS i have seen completely change how they manage printers and their drivers going from 1 version to another..
on can argue that maybe they where over due for an update.. but i doubt this.. it seems to me they changed it for the fucking hell of it..
tell me 1 reason why vista's new way of handeling printers and drivers can justify why i now have to buy 50 new licences of Acrobat + another 20K in software for our Oce Print Manager.. just so our office can use Vista to print instead of the xp box's they have..
right now.. the easy and sensiable solution for a small biz is avoid vista.. and that is what we do - if you have vista and you need to print you get to use someone elses comp..
(and i am not talking about your every day network printers. we print books and tech manuals so yea this is a big deal for us when a single printer is 70k+)
many games.. (or you have to set them specific to run as admin - doesn't always work)
they also changed how printers work in vista.. as a result Adobe Acrobat and Distiller doesn't work unless you have 7.2 or later - kinda annoying for people that have acrobat 5/6 and have been happey with it for a while.. and no Adobe didn't release a fix allowing them to work in vista.. Adobe's fix is for you to buy the latest version.. the question i have is... what was wrong with the old printers model? and why not allow the use of older drivers in a wrapper if you want the new stuff..
alot of the stuff that causes problems in vista is just abuch of little dumb stuff that when compiled together makes you wnat to beat the crap out of it..
crash happy no.. only thing i have noticed is if you have something (like and IRC Client) that is doing constant data connections and transfers for more than 4-5 days.. all of asudden calls will drop.. what i mean is i will get a call.. and 30sec in for no reason the phone will drop signal and pickit back up as if nothing had happened.. it is reproducable and the fix is just a simple hit the reset button.. but damn is it annoying.. so i just make it a point to reset it every few days so i don't have a problem..
also i do wish that it didnt' drop the data connection when you got a phone call.. or that i could atleast acutaly block the damn AOL system message.... every damn client i have tried will not let you block it.. or will let you but it still shows it..
other than that it has been quite nice.. i use it quite often and use the bluetooth + a small gps + google maps/MS live search.. very very very usefull
on thing people have to realize with a PDA/Phone device is power is an issue and yes you will need to charge it every night.. but then again i moved from my StarTac to the 8525 so i was already used to charging every night..
well i wasn't there as most people where.. i was there as part of Art School - i spent 6 months over there and we went often to look at and compare the diffrent styles..
personaly i have a cingual 8525 and love it - it isnt' that big when you think that before i was carrying my phone and a pda.... this is smaller than my axim was an only alittle bigger than my StarTac (yes i upgraded from a StarTac to the 8525.. damn FCC rules)
oh i enjoyed it when i saw it.. although i think i got more amussement out of the people videotaping it than i did the painting..
they don't let you get close enought to it to proppery appreciate it.. infact when i was there you had to be 20+ feet away from it.. and it was sitting in thi huge almost valut thing with a window.. kinda pointless in my mind.. far more exciting things to see there..
Slashdot Mirror
it worked for NASA and their 90 day rover project
i think at this point only the PS3 is loseing money per consol...
i can't remember exactly where i read it but the number of 18$ is poping up in my head as what MS now makes per core unit...
hell if they did that on a 360... i would drop cable - pay them the same rate as cable + buy a damn 360 to do it
if the did it on a PS3.. i would jsut wait till they/someone else did it for the 360/Wii and buy one of them
i just wnat to know if we can now take JT to court for exploiting a child.

who knows it might jsut work

i hope that you are saying you pay 60$ a month for a 60KB/sec not Kb (little b = bit big B = byte)
cause dialup is 56Kb/sec... and for 60$ you could get 2 phone lines and 2 accounds and shotgun for 113Kb/sec
(god it has been a while sence i have thought about shotgunning ras connections.. ahhhh)
