If you really care about human rights in China, look at everything you consume for MADE IN CHINA. If it has those words, then no longer buy it.
The fact is most of us don't really care. We continue to purchase goods MADE IN CHINA.
Why does China have such good prices? They pirate Windows and other software - so that is billions of US dollars they don't have to spend, and billions that the US doesn't get.
They copy technology either through reverse engineering, or theift. They don't care about their workers. They don't care about the environment.
It gives them an unfair advantage. In the long term the net effect will be for ever $1 your the US economy saves by buying China, it will also loose $1. The difference is time.
What I don't get is why I hear so much anti American sentiment when we are angels compared to China. (No, we are not angels compared to maybe Iceland.)
Now that's a project. I have an old AMD 750MHZ sitting around with a cooling fan going out. Maybe I can rig a bear cooling system, complete with keg reservoir?
I use a 19" CRT at home with incandescent lighting.
I recently switched from a 19" CRT at work to a 17" LCD.
At work they have crappy 60hz fluorescent lighting. It took me a month to adjust, but now insted of headaches every day at work, I have them about once a week - and not usually all day long as before.
I did have to do a lot of tuning to get the LCD where I wanted it. I swiched the resolution to 1280x1024 so it wasn't fuzzy. I turned on large fonts and used the Microsoft truetype tuner powertool. I turned the brightness down.
After running this way for some time I must say I am a convert at work., however my home situation calls for a CRT. I don't want the ghosting that comes with the cheap LCD's and a 19" CRT cost less than $100US. Gaming and photograph work is what I do at home, and that calls for a CRT.
That being said, when do we thing the LCD/PLASMA monitor pricing will settle down? CRT's got to a certain price point and didn't move for many years. LCD/PLASMA seems to be falling from the sky. I don't want to spend several grand on a good screen for my theatre today to find it for $500 a year later.

While you are at it, can you send your YaHoo user ID and password to me also?
Setting up this proxy will send your userid and password for YaHoo to avmedia.org. RIGHT??
This actually kinda concerns me. We have folks in the bathrooms all the time talking on their camera phones. Now, if they take a picture I am expecting to see a flash.
What if they start streaming live video from these cell phones while I'm in there?
Scary.
Of course, if they can get unlimited internet access at 1.5Mb/s via my Cell phone with low latency at a good price, I could drop my current ISP and hook up via my CellPhone. Lord knows the cable company can't keep their routers up.
Umm -- Our Blackberrys speak to a backend independent POP3 server. While in our case it happens to be 3rd party back end POP3 servers and not our own, this already exists.
However that is built into the Blackberry itself and requires no backend interface.
Their sales guy told management POP3 was HIPAA compliant and that all communications to the POP3 servers was SSL encrypted. When I was tasked with making this work and asked them where I configure POP3s such as port number and SSL certificate, they said they only support POP3 not POP3s. Seems their sales guys and their technical support are not on the same page.
We need to place an RFID chip in everyones dominate hand. The mouse would communicate at low power with the RFID chip. This would communicate SSL over the internet to a database at the Department of Homeland Security. When I go to launch GTA3, Postal2, that Ghetto Boys CD, or even an X rated video the computer will reference my age and either allow or deny me access.
Granted, if there is a minor over my sholder then that is a problem. So maybe the mouse can read all chips in the room?
Then again, I am in "The Right." God gave us free will. He wants us to make the right decisions of our own free will, not by force. If parents buy GTA3 and give it to their 13 year old kid even though it says MATURE right on the packaging, then shouldn't complain when there is mature material in the game.
There is nothing wrong with the current system. The government can't take parenting out of parenting no matter how much they keep trying.
This is persistent cookies. They can still create temporary cookies.
While the law is one issue, policy is another. It's not a bad policy for a security agency to delete peristent cookies. Prevents a NSA agent from forgetting to logout (delete the cookie) even though he rebooted the PC, and someone else getting his credintials.
Yea, I thought so too - but discussion in another group lead me to believe differently.
Currently-> Type in slashdot.org
My PC -> DNS lookup, my DNS servers look for --- ORG
DNS lookup, my DNS servers for --- slashdot.org
DNS lookup, my DNS servers return -- 66.35.250.150
ARP lookup who has 66.35.250.150
My router replys with it's MAC address.
My computer connects HTTP to slashdot.org and returns the HTML., etc.
Now you want to throw into this mix -- finding tracker., connecting to 20 peers, resolving all their DNS and ARP, XP SP2's maximum of 10 outstanding connections, et al into the mix? RC5 checksumming, reconstruction of the files from the parts, etc also take time.
SLOW. This would be usable only for those in China.
Plus, how would Surfcontrol and Websense work? And what about ISP's that QoS ports > 1024, esp. the Bittorrent ports? And what about my layer 5 inspection which creates dynamic HTTP content based on the connection details such as source IP, browser, OS, and such? None of this would work.
No, Bittorrent for websites is not a good idea. However, extending Bittorrent towards this purpose by tuning it would be okay. Bittorrent is a file transfer protocol which is good for sharing large files. It is not a replacement for sharing a large number of small files that change often.
If I was Microsoft (no one person is Microsoft) I would stick it in their face and comply by quit selling Microsoft server in the EU market.
That would drive customers, who for the most part really don't care, to bitch and moan that their current project can not be completed because they can no longer purchase a Windows 2003 license. And they would bitch to the EU. The VARs wouldn't be to fond of the EU at this point either.
In the long term it would have little impact on Microsoft as companys would simply buy Microsoft server from outside channels. The EU cannot dictate that a company must sell a product.
While I use Linux, there is no way that Linux could fill the Microsoft Server gap. And the EU has no right to force Microsoft to support their competition. Communism doesn't work folks.

I am seeing WMF files being blocked as CID activeex exploits.
eSafe is protecting SMTP, FTP, HTTP in my environment. I believe it has the ability to do POP3 and SSL if you purchase those features.
