We still are the shining light of the world. No matter what you think of recent events, Americans have more rights then anyone else on the planet. America should not be categorized by the actions of a few unscrupulous individuals when you have many many American's, like Ronald Reagan, our soldiers and many other unsung heros that in the face of hard times, make the best of the situation. Everyone will point to what Bill Gates and his company has become, but Bill was like lots of us in college and because of the rights we have in a America, he was able to start the company that he did. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started the company that made the computer I am typing on in thier garage (a Mac if you can't figure it out). Henry Ford started Ford Motor Company here, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in the US. In what country would all these things and more been possible?
The actions of these men and women in the Iraq prisons was deplorable. The same goes for the McCarthy witch hunts. Yes Americans have done bad things. What is important is that, overtime, we learn from the mistakes. Learn that what those others did that they though was so right was a mistake. American's are human. Humans make mistakes. Good people....good American's try not to make the same mistake twice. That is why I think America is still at the top. Oh sure, we may have taken a step back or two at times, but it's the very good things that our people do everyday that make this country great and not what any president, vice president or congressman does. The next time you see a American man rush into a fire....without caring about his life..to rescue someone....think about that. Think about the millions of American's that just try to get by. Those are the people this country is about. Not some corrupt congressman or soldier. If we, as Americans do not like the leaders we have, we have the right to vote for new ones or even become a leader ourself. Not many countries have this right but we do. We should cherish it and take advantage of it.
No matter what others do, I am still proud to be an American. I like many of you am just an average guy trying to get by. I go to work everyday. I may never do anything more but do my work everyday and raise my son. There may be people who never remember me. But that's ok! I am still an American. I and many like me are what makes America great.
Yes. The demo I saw with a ritron transciever plugged into the back of the cisco router was very cool. In fact, it sounded better then most analog lines I have heard. This transciever made it cake to add phone patching ability to a VOIP based system. And VOIP phones, be they WiFi or Ethernet were also able to page the radio users. Very cool stuff and very useful. Defintiely not DOA.
By the way, it's VERY illegal for any state or federal rep to accept MONEY from Microsoft. It's against ethics law big time. He who has the most money does not always get to go before congress to plead their case. They DO get to present their idea more to them because for them to write a letter is real easy....oh wait....I can write a letter too. I mean to say that he who has the most money wins is not always true. Just look at the antitrust case against Microsoft. Just because your lobby has scads of money means nothing. If you want to start your lobby it's your right. Congress still doesn't have to listen to you. Companies...big oens...are members of lobbies to protect their interestws, but congress does nto have to listen to them. Case in point, the FCC and the Broadband over powerline. There were big lobbies sponsered by the likes of the broadcasters and even the networks. The ARRL provided volumes of data that shows how bad BPL is. Did the FCC listen? Not entirely....it still looks like BPL will be a reality, like it or not. Swaying a congress person sometimes takes hurricane force winds. Liek it or not, companies DO have a right to have an opinon just the same as you and I.
Never said they could not have their own speech.....there are plenty of venues (strip clubs, cable tv, video....etc) where they can do this but not on the PUBLIC airwaves. Saying change the channel ain't so simple sometimes because sometimes it's WHEN your changing the channel you come across this....entertainment. Let me make this clear...I am not a proponent of the V-chip because I would rather control what my kids view and not rely on technology to work correctly to protect my child. That said, there are plenty of places that people can go to get this kind of entertainment.
I would rather see a MP3 player (hd equipped or not) with bluetooth HEADPHONES! That way I can wear it on my wrist or leave it in my pocket while it's playing and no wires to get in the road.
The review said SD isn't common....WHAT? It's more common then say, memopory stick!
First off, it's eWeek for crying out loud! Second, it's still too early to proclaim VOIP over anything (WiFi or Ethernet or whatever) dead. Second, I have seen it work and it worked wonderfully. Declaring VOIP over WiFi dead is like saying Apple's dead because it does nto have the market share that Dell does.
While item number 3 is funny, what I think most people are forgetting is that this pad seems to be made of a DARK material (the grippy stuff). This grippy stuff will ABSORB the heat. Not reflect. Now, I hope the heat that's absorb dissipates in some way.
Macally has had soemthing like this for quite a while. Although I think I might get that Kona model (teh one that folds up). I do the same as Julie. Recline and compute at the same time.
Last I checked, Howard Stern was entertainment.....NOT the press. I mean if you call having pornstars come in for interviews the press then....well...I guess....but not in my book.
One thign I wished the FCC should do with GMRS is onthose radios with GMRS abilities, make the licensing statement LARGE! Also the manufaturers should make it easy for FRS users to lock out the GMRS channels. BTW, if you are under 18 and your father has a license, you can use GMRS.
Even if they did, they'd still have to get involved when, say Sony makes a monitor that spews RF. There are so many devices that, evn though they were not made for specifically spewing RF, they do have a RF signature. Monitors, motors, electrical wiring....they all have a impact on spectrum. It is this reason along that BPL should be defeated because of the interferance it unintentionally causes.
The FCC did not pull Howard, last I checked. First, Clear Channel pulled them for fear (maybe irrational fear) that the FCC may fine them. The FCC also has to try to make everyone happy and I am sorry, but that's what they are trying to do. As you know, you can't do this. The FCC has not DONE anything yet, but said please, restrain your bosom, buttocks, your frontal area and your mouth when on a NATIONAL forum and if ya don't, we'll charge out the ass for it. Like it or not, the FCC has to do this. You want to swear? Do it on cable. Like it or not, a mom does not and should not have to explain to a child why that man was ripping that bra cup off when they happen to catch the action while channel surfing.
In my opinion, the more dangerous thing is already starting to happen. During the filming of the MTV Movie Awards, Eminem mooned the crowd and now MTV is censoring this. I ask MTV(nee Viacom) why? Your on CABLE. My house NEVER watches MTV BECAUSE of the inane and crude things that happen there so MOON AWAY! I won't see it! What happens when OTHER things get censored on cable? THAT is my concern.
Wait. Lobbying is the WAY to communicat your right. Lobbies are not always companies either. The ARRL is the Radio Amateur's Lobby and voice in Congress. It is our RIGHT to assembly representatives, funded by our money, to go and talk to Congress as a whole. It is our voice. Lobbies are very important both to companies as well as the private citizens. All of the below are ones I consider lobbies:
The ACLU The ARRL The NRA Citizens for Tax Justice The EFF.....
There are many others, but these are the ones that come to attention. If you oppose a certain lobby, then start your own. It's your right!
And both you and your cohort know nothing about the way 802.11b/g and anything else in the 2.4 GHz band is setup. I would say a good percentage of this band is unlicensed and the onloy thing the FCC will do is prevent Linksys from making a AP with a 50 watt amp. This does not prevent you or some other ass munch from making one. 90 percent of the 2.4 GHz band is for unlicensed operation (you don't need a license for your WiFi or your cordless phone do you?). The FCC has more to protect then your cohorts piddly little WISP. That said, your cohort did the right thing here and even though he's currently being harassed, it may not continue for very long. Your friend has evidence, but the FCC needs to collect it's own evidence as well if it has any hope of prosecuting the guy. The government can't just come and prosecute the guy because you said he's breaking the law. They have to build a case and your report is just a notification. 2 years later, they may come and get the guy.
Setup your user (admin user) and a regular user. Allow them to save to the hard disk with a caveat....no files exist longer then one day. Write a script to clean out everything and restore things like standard Safari settings and the like (run Reset Safari to clean it up..not sure if this is scriptable). Put the script in the Admin User's crontab or root's crontab. For user saving files to disk, use a USB hub and have them use USB Drives for saving their items. Failing that, they could use CD-RW's.
No wait....the Google algorithm has a hole. Does the presidents biography have the words miserbale failure in it? Why is the linked text taken as a meaning of what is on the site? Those webmasters who put the link all over thier sites are only taking advantage of a hole in the Google algorithm. Google should simply do a text search and make sure that miserable failure is actually ON the web page that that text links to. Then google bombs would have no effect.
Yes it is. When with less than a million links miserable failure searches on google are linked to President Bush's biography on the whitehouse web site, that's a problem (leave your political views out of this). Same geos for Weapon's of Mass Destruction and other google bombs. Google....fix it now before it gets to be a real problem.
ASCAP and BMI were wanting extra fees. The attack had nothing to do with BIG R. Clear Channel wanted to stream all of their stations, but now only stream Talk Radio and insert different ads over the local ads (THIS item is mostly a BIG R thing....local mom and pops did not want to pay the extra ad money to be streamed).
I personally do not care if the picture is perfect or not. As long as it's good to you and the people you share it with, who cares if the pro photod thinks it sucks. I have a bunch of pics I did at Church on Mother's day that had a bit of a sun flare on them because of where I took it and noone complained!
If you have these, then I would change jobs....Death March coding is stupid. If it's you who get yourself into those, start doing your job instead of posting on fscking Slashdot when you should be coding. If it's not you but the company doing this, leave. Companies shoudl NEVER ask you too many times to do out of the ordinary things. If they do, then get out.
Slashdot Mirror
Apps huh? You did enough searching? There's a lot of free apps out there. You just have to do a little googling:
vxUtil, a networking took and several caluclators
HP Mobile Printing 2.0 for printing from your ppc
Wisbar Advanced, a task switcher
PocketPCsoft.net has a TON of freeware
Next time before deriding it and saying it's all pay ware, try doing a google search.
The compact framework has no licensing issues other then it's not open source. This is a pointless waste of time.

Yes QoS defintiely can fix issues like this. Didn't most of us read about Robert X Cringely's idea to make WISP/VOIP providers with WRT54G's??
