Such bullshit. Nextel had it patented for 10 years and it was the only thing that kept them afloat considering their coverage sucks so much.
Now that Verizon is polishing up its own PTT (push-to-talk) version for their network, Nextel is getting scared. Thus, they tried to sneak a peek at how Verizon's network was doing it while they were still developing it.
Nextel was caught with Verizon prototype phones making hundreds (iirc) of PTT connections on Verizon's network.
I think Nextel is going to be the big loser soon. Hmm.. Verizon's own version of PTT will be launched right before number portability. Coincidence? Either way, Nextel has good reason to be scared.
I personally don't care for PTT because of its disruptive behavior. Anyways, someone once explained it as more informal than a phone call. No "hellos", "how are you doing", "whats up", "goodbyes", etc. If you need to ask someone a quick question then PTT fits well.
Sidenote to some of the other posts: Nextel's patent expired, so now PTT is game for everyone.
Also, Verizon's PTT will operate differently and its marketing will reflect that. IIRC, the inital delay for the first PTT to be sent is ~6 seconds while every message after that is 2-3 seconds.
Correct, Verizon will be launching it to business customers either July 1st or August 1st (mixed rumors), but the PTT network (push-to-talk) is up and running using Verizon's 1xRTT. Later this fall, PTT will be available to consumers.
I'd like to know some specifics about the alleged selling of the e-mail addresses. Telstra says this:
"The most common practice is to submit a test mail list to an ISP containing thousands of randomly generated user names. Most mail servers would qualify the names and attempt to deliver a blank message to those that have been generated/guessed correctly."
I'm wondering how random some of the addresses were. Were they being sent to asmith@telstra bsmith@telstra, etc.? If so, then Telstra's reasoning makes sense. But if addresses like chalk54923@telstra are on the spam list, then I'd say that Telstra is full of it.
With Shareaza, you can connect to Gnutella, "Gnutella 2", and EDOnkey with the same client. It also supports BitTorrent. I like the interface a lot too. No spyware.
I think the main reason for them not being involved is that Jesse didn't want to go through with *any* sort of litigation. He just wanted to settle since he was in school.

1. One who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without commission from a sovereign nation.
2. A ship used for this purpose.
2. One who preys on others; a plunderer. 3. One who makes use of or reproduces the work of another without authorization.
4. One that operates an unlicensed, illegal television or radio station.
You reminded me of a point that someone else brought up awhile ago. The worm was released on a weekend. Some speculated because admins would be out of the office so it could spread quickly. OTOH, many more businesses/users would've been affected if it was released on Mon-Thur.
You brought up a good point about site licenses. I'm only going to be a sophomore, but I found out my school had site licenses via its MSDN academic subscription. For us, it's just developer tools, but that includes XP Home/Pro. But still, if you want to save on money.. ask your school if they offer software and what titles they have in case you plan on buying the same thing.
The city was doing sewer work in front of the house and they cleared off about 60 feet of frontage which took out a ton of trees, etc. One day we get an agreement handed to us saying "Sign here so we (the construction company) are not liable for any damage caused by the power generator."
It turns out they were going to take down the power lines fo a day in front of the house to get the equipment underneath and they offered to let us use a generator, but there was a risk of all of our servers, router, switch, etc. getting fried in the process. When we rejected it they told us "fine, no power for you."
A call to PUCO (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio) was made. About 20-30 minutes later a call comes in from the project manager of the construction crew and he says "oh, well we just found a way to get in without cutting your power."

Read the parent to understand why.
In real news, he may have been captured already.

Doesn't language evolve over time anyways?

What's your point?
I thnik he means that "copied" DVDs could be redistributed among some people and the viewers may not be aware that it was edited.
I think that any edited copies should carry some sort of label/indication that it was edited.

I'm glad I use Verizon Wireless since I don't live in California.
No, Microsoft is behind the spammers.
The problem is the method that they use to charge less. This includes fscking the employees and other things Wal-Mart's strategy uses.
400 employees know that managers get bonuses to meet goals that require employees to work overtime but without pay. I rarely, if ever, boycott things but I try not to shop at Wal-Mart.
Mmm I just ordered my Neuros yesterday.
ARREST HIM! He just talked about circumventing copywritten information in a public forum! May you never see the light of day again you terrorist!

Slightly OT but T to the parent.

What a coincidence.
