Hmm...I'll have to check at the local coffee shop. Only place I have had trouble with it has been at work because they block all sorts of assinine ports. Also, the main Echolink page has a piece of new software where you can use a machine as sort of a proxy for your echolink traffic. Basically, you have to know about ONE machine that has those ports open and you run this software on it. There are also several open proxies as well.
Mobile Echolink is always something I wanted to do (albiet, not with me doing the driving!:D). I TRIED to do it with my T-Mobile GPRS card....technically, it should work because there are some that even use dial up with Echolink.
Actually I think they made the conservative decision and that is that they DON'T have to provide you ONLY DSL. They have the right to say you must use a land line phone in addition to DSL. The non conservative one would be to sell naked DSL...which has all the requirements of a regular phone line as well as some other things too. Why should the telco have to setup everything as if you'd use voice and DSL (which I gather has to be done on most systems just to GET DSL) if you were not required to use the voice? How is this trampling on states rights? Last I checked, most phone companies contained many states which means to have anything consistent from state to state it needs a federal mandate.
Be serious. I mean really. One who says such thing doesn't know that Gentoo requires you to compile almost every damn thing. How can you compile the NT Kernel without source???
Actually JCL wasn't that bad. I kind of liked it. Not all that different then scripting languages, just a heck of a lot stricter in the formatting. Compilers as of late have lightened up on the formatting a hare plus let you shorten things by using some macros as well. I remember when I was taking COBOL (don't know WHY I was taking it....just that it was interesting), there was alot of standards in the works for COBOL 2000 or whatever the next standard was going to be after 85, which was still commonly used. Last I had heard it still had not been settled, but that may have changed. Have not worked with COBOL in many years.
What you have produced are not theories or total stories but merely statements. I can say cat is spelled C-A-T and most of us would consider this to be true and see no bias....however it is just a statement. I can say cat is spelled C-A-T because that is how God spelled it and that could be considered to be biased. ANYWAY, with regards to the grand parent, let's say that the UN actualy has the power to do this and actually can block spam. What if the UN decided SPAM also includes those joke e-mails idiots send out all of the time. What happens if they say Slashdot is banned because it fosters free thinking....whoops....here we go...bias...
I happen to think alot of Slashdot is not free thinking but herd thinking. Post a Microsoft story and your always going to see the Anti-Microsoft stuff rise to the top. Just because most Slashdotters agree that Microsoft is a bad company, doesn't mean it is and that when I say Microsoft is bad....well, it's biased! Why? I like Linux/UNIX and stand to benefit if it's furthered and Microsoft goes out of business. Bias all depends on where you stand on the issue.Sure, 1+1 IS equal to 2, but what if I do my math in a different number system then you do??....1+8=9 only works if your biased the decimal way... but I do math in octal so 1+8=10.
I don't think so. Why? Bush would not have done the things you said then. Bush went to war in Iraq mainly because Iraq was in open defiance to many of the stipulations of the treaties they signed after Desert Storm. Also, Saddam has tortured many people and persecuted the populace and scared many of them into doing things no sane person would do. How can a Christian be for that when he's in a position that can help?? Bush realizes what most people don't....to get alot of the freedoms we now enjoy, a lot of blood had to be shed. The same goes in Iraq for the Shites and Sunni's. Also if he's not a Christian, then why would he push faith based initiatives? Why is he against the feeding tube being taken out of Terri Schiavo(but he's not in a position to make a difference in this case). Bush does not believe in a corruption of Chirsitianity. Corruption of Christianity is something I reserve for the Roman Catholic Church.
I work at a Community College and usually most of the CS courses offered here will transfer. Community Colleges are NOT anything like ITT or other technical schools or schools that just teach MCSE or other certs. If it was not for the fact that most of your AA or AS will transfer, most of our students would leave. Again, it depends on the state or on the school.
Yeah....they suck and can be wordy. Just wait til you break down one variable into different levels. It makes it real easy to parse a variable into different parts, but man does it generate a TON of code.
Read me now...ALL INFORMATION THAT EXISTS IS BIASED.....there I said it. Now that that has been said, there's NO way for a paper to be written that the writers bias does not show in one form or another. It's virtually impossible for anyone because the things we have done in our life and our beliefs that make up our value system aren't just a set of beliefs....they are part of us. This is why Bush acts the way he does. He's a Christian. He believes in god and asking him to separate this totally from his public life is impossible.
With the size of the internet, can any one organization, government, entity or company make a big enough effect on it that it cripples it? Let's flashback to the late 90's where Bob Metcalfe was saying the internet was getting to the point where it would die under it's sheer size. Internet is still churning along. With all of those worms, viruses and other things causing problems, the internet has never gone down to the point of being unusable except a small portion of it. For the UN to even think that they can have an effect on spam is preposterous.
Show me proof that it does and I can likely show volumes of proof it does not. Also, anyone, Christian or not, who accepts the Bible as complete gospel but yet does not do their own interepretation and trusts on what others say is just stupid. Sure I will believe you if you can show me proof. Otherwise I will not even believe the best preacher on Earth if he can't give me a vaild reason.

I was going to make the same comment. In Europe you can open a bank account with only a name, address and birthdate? That's all? Seems pretty unsafe to me.
It IS possible that 2 people can be born on the same month, day and year AND have the same name. Sure, it isn't very likely, but it can happen and issuing a SSN is a way to prevent some problems with this. First, both people would have the same name and birthday, but they would NOT have the same SSN. In the US, I do believe most people would have given you almost all of that info except the SSN. The SSN is usually not given out. Driver's License numbers are different for each state and while against the law, it probably IS possible to get a license in more than one state at a time The number is only useful to that states government and law inforcement in that state.
The BEST idea I have seen has been the picture being integrated on the credit card or debit card. Sure, it's not enough, but the more they have to determine you ARE the authorised to use the card, the less likely that it would be used fraudulantly. Sure, you CAN add a sticker to the stolen credit card, but even the thinnest stickers would still change the way the cards felt. I think that the self service CC stations at the gas station, the grocery store and what have you should not have ever been allowed and I also think that clerks need to be more aware when they process credit transactions. Sure, they are damned convenient, but many many times I have gone through the U-Scan and not even have my card looked at by anyone but myself. I swipe the card, sign the slip and I am gone and the card is in my pocket when I am signing the slip.
I now never get too mad when people ask to see my license when doing a credit transaction because at least it shows they are being more alert of the possibility of fraud. Also, my B-day is in a few days and when I go to renew my license, I am going to kindly ask them to NOT put my SSN on the license. I refuse to carry my SSN card anymore either. It's safely locked away in my house.
We need to require the clerks to do more of the filtering of this as well as the credit agencies being more strict on who the give credit to. There are so many companies that want me to owe them money even in the sad shape my credit is in. It seems, to me, to be a bad way to run a business.

Isn't that a problem? Maybe testing should be the new stable. The idea is I would not ever run anything labeled unstable.....no matter what it means. If unstable means it's unstable because it can crash, that's one thing. If unstable is unstable because it's constantly being updated, that's another problem. Some of it is politics. My boss would never let me load anything labeled unstable because, well, it's a political thing...;) Like it or not, good manipulation of office polotics makes you look better when things are bad and not going to get better and when things are good, it makes you look extremely good. I hate playing it, but if I want to get that server upgrade when I want it instead of when I am under the gun to make things better, I have to play the politcs game.
Wyse Winterms...wow. Been a while since I have heard those. At first I was going to say what is the point cuz they cost lots of bucks, but then I saw the cost of them now. Wow. 195 bucks for the terminal with a 3 year warantee. They even have them with a WiFi option as well as the ability to plug in USB Key drives to copy data. Pretty cool. If they ever let more then 2 people login to a regular XP machine, I want one of these.
I fail to see Bush wanting to help create faith based programs to handle things like homelessness and hunger and other problems in America and around the world as establsihing a State Religion. Faith based means a Christian Organization can get the money as well as Jew, Muslim, Atheistic....etc. Just because he says FAITH based does not mean he means his faith. I think what he wants is for us to take care of these problems with some help from the government. The government can't know everything about every one area/location of the country. The mission on the next street typically knows what problems they face and if they had the bucks, they'd have a pretty good idea on how to combat the area's specific problems. The government knows diddly squat. THIS is why these programs are being created.....not to push Bush's religion. No where have I EVER seen Bush be disparaging to ANY Religion that was not his. This is just reading into a very noble inititative.
