Just out of curiosity, what's a legitimate reason to have $10,000 in cash in your house?
I never said I had 10K, but people use large amounts of cash at Car lots, tractor sales, yard sales on weekends, flea markets, auctions, strip bars, buying drugs, blackmarket, white slavery.

Verizon currently has to sell GSM phones for people traveling overseas for GSM coverage, at a very steep price. (Kinda funny)
Vodaphone is already GSM, they already have World Phones, Verizon doesn't. And Vodaphone has great roaming coverage on ATTWS, supporting GSM/EGPRS and SMS. The Cingular/ATTWS Merger end of this year, will make Q1 2005 interesting when they start merging networks.
I find it funny that slashdot linked to an article bashing ATTWS for not offering only 850 phones, when 1900(1800/900I) was the WORLD phone standard.
Now here's someone who wants a World phone, but most carriers have American phones with 1900/850 (1800 International) standard.
So, why isn't anyone blaming the vendors for no 1900/850(1800/900) phones? Motorola finally stepped up and did. ATTWS is releasing the Motorola V600 which is quad band this month, Cingular released the V400.
I tell ya, After ATTWS and Cingular merges, pick up a Quad phone, and have the best coverage everywhere. Tack on ATTWS's full nationwide EDGE/GPRS network and Worldwide roaming partners with EDGE/GPRS, life is starting to look good. Hell, now that SMS works between all major carriers worldwide, you can be truly global.
I'm really excited to see when ATTWS and Cingular starts working together merging base stations, coverage will be perfect everywhere. Cingular has the best customer suppport and plans, ATTWS has the best data network and data phones (Blackberry, Treo/etc).
Myself, I'm looking at the Nokia 6820, I just want the full keypad and nationwide EDGE speed.
if somebody's moving thousands of dollars for no apparent reason, it at least deserves being looked into.
Why? If I wanted to sell a Computer system on Ebay, it could easily go for a few thousand. Note everyone is selling cookie jars.
This is just as bad as the Police taking your money "Because it could be drug money" if you have over 10 thousand dollars. People still deal with cash and money transfers daily.
The software versions don't match the quality or quantity of the binded versions. Really, with technology, offer a few DVD's with background on history, wars, animals, etc. Maybe offer a few video clips, but stay away from the whole the whole "Media Overload" like Encarta. 1 Paragraph or 1 line for a subject really is weak.
Encarta has been getting better, but the first few releases where total fluff. Same with Grolier.
I've looked at the binded versions, but for 1400 bux, or 2300 for deluxe study guides I'd rather have it on my PC.
How about offer a 250 dollar deluxe DVD series, with bi-yearly updates? Something with lots of content and updated content.
I bought the entire National Geographic on CD set for over 100 dollars (minus paid ads, but would of liked them also), and its a wonderful resource.

Real could of owned the world, but heres my run down of why Real hurt themselves, they harrased the customer.
1. Takes 10 minutes of hunting around the website for the free version. Even when you click on the "Free" version, it prompts you to buy it. 2. When loading the program, it asks you to register, then prompts you to buy it, and then loads an html webpage.
Back in the day,.ra format was the only format out, they owned the streaming market. Microsoft did what it always does, release the player in the OS, give away the tools, (which are very easy to use, and plain menus), and made good market decisions.
Now Microsoft is using the mpeg4 format, and seems to be taking over HDTV format on Dvd's. They win, everything. They will be the OS and multimedia format of the future.
While I agree Microsoft did use its power to assist in taking over, Real networks interaction with customers was on the level of spammers, horrible salesmen from hell. Customers had a bad experiences and walked away.
We don't have the problems you do because we don't have the culture of 'sue' for stuff like 'my coffee is too hot and it burnt me' and 'these scissors stabbed me when I ran with them'.
The hot coffee law suit is used to describe frivolous lawsuits, truth is, the coffee was hot enough to create 3rd degree burns, too hot for normal consumption. The person didnt even sue for damages, just the medical bills, the court awarded monetary damages to punish mcdonalds.
I am in complete agreement that the T616 should have been the replacement phone for the T68i. Not everyone is purely interested in stupid-ass ringtones and games.
They are giving you a 100 dollar T226phone for free, or you can pay 99 bux and get the T616. How is this a bad thing?
Bluetooth was never taken serriously by phone vendors, if thats your main point, upgrade to the T616.
AT&T took their time, continuing to offer popular new models that were missing the 850 MHz band, and thus wouldn't work with that part of their network.
Really blame the vendors, Nokia, Sony and Motorola. They took off blue tooth, didnt offer phones with 850. Even blackberry didnt have 850 when first out, they do now.
The phone vendors new for years that 850 was going to be used. The whole TDMA->GSM upgrade path was known years ago.
The article is total fluff, if a phone had 850 it was offered. Cingular, ATTWS, Tmobile all offer the same phones, you cant blame ATTWS for phone vendors not having 850 on every model.
Verizon has the same issue with GSM coverage, you cant take your phone over to the UK and still have it work. This is why they offer you another phone for traveling.
While the wireless coverage is getting better, why arn't the phones? Place the blame on the correct group.
Also you can pick up a 4gb Nomad for 199, and rip out the microdrive also. Ipod mini isnt the only one using the 4GB microdrives that sell for 400+ dollars retail.
'Recommendation: upgrade your peering requirements to include language like:
Each peer agrees to emit only IP packets with accurate
source addresses, to require their customers to do likewise,
and to extend this requirement to all other peers by $DATE.
Where DATE = (now() + '6 months') or some other negotiated value.
Peering agreements are so thick with political BS, they can't even stop ISP's like UUNet who are the biggest spam friendly ISP's around.
Basically everyone is trying to use standards for protocols to correct this, engineers trying to correct political problems.
Well, I know many people who had run ins with the IRS, also you can search google for stories. It happens more than you think.
Police already make a profit on busting criminals, parking/speeding tickets, fines. Why wouldnt the State tax collectors go after people for money? Thats the whole point of the article.
Have companies report sales to states, so states can go after people. Treat everyone like criminals. It even states that in the article.
The states might have little to do now, but if theres money involved, expect it to get bigger.
The state tax auditors (if there are any) will do the investigating.
So, like the IRS, state tax auditors will have to find people to go after, and then treat them like criminals. Then the state offices can hire more people, and go after more criminals, er tax payers, growing in size. You didn't pay your 12 dollar tax on books at barnes and noble, here is a 1000 dollar fine, or worse, they take your house.
Really sad, all these agencies without oversight, they can go after people without any legal standing, because we gave them the power.

While I also think the weapons are a tad weak, it does make it easier for newer players, no instant death. (Unless you get run over by a vehical) Game play needs tweaked, weapons could be a little better, but its a very fun game.

Theres 2 types of game play, fast quake3 rail type action or slower CS type games, where you have to make your first shot count. UT2004 is extremely to the fast action shooter. One of the reasons I didnt care for quake3, spawn and get railed or instant death. UT trys to deal with istant death, it will be interesting to see what tweaks and mods come out.
I'm really waiting for the Tribes game to come out, the open areas, the jetpack, and the slower combat with lead time for weapons. Little more thought in your actions, less of a twitch game.
I'm installing gentoo this weekend, really want to see if I can get a lan game going with a windows box, my mac and a linux system using the demo. Really impressed with this multiplatform release.
F-prot does indeed rock, for a home user, you can setup a linux box, use postfix,fetchmail,f-prot, procmail and spam assassin. Top it off with Mozilla Mail or Thunderbird, and spam/viruses are so much easier to deal with. F-prot catchs most viruses, the rest seem to be on a blocked list, so I'm pretty happy with f-prot. In fact, I use f-prot to scan all the file-systems also, not just for email. F-prot has to be the easiest command line scanner out.
And if you want, you can use procmail/fetchmail and hotpop to grab your webbased emails and scan them for viruses. Little time to setup, but worth every minute.
