No you have got it all wrong its a clippy bar - there will be staff dressed up as clippy, and when you ask them anything give you three options none of which you wanted.
As i was one of the few somebodies who observed a certain spammer (Mr Robert Soloway) and his use of bot nets let me insert some euro's into this.
Mr Gary was an idiot - lets all agree on that using trial remote software in windows (with the credit card number) during the middle of the American day means at some point even the most idiotic American computer user knows things are not right.
Is it right that this [Gary] idiot goes to American justice ?, well if the us congress ever ratifies the extradition agreement with the UK then maybe we might get back some of those DeLorean millions lost. Buts that is ok as the special relationship means special to one side only.
So as a european citizen could i expect to see Robert Soloway in a european for computer crimes - no way.
I AM NOT trying to troll
I do not have court powers (i know) but the law is a joke, lets face it the coke dealer on the american corner is probably much more likely to see a policeman than Robert Soloway
To my knowledge the courts,the ftc,local state law all failed to act on Soloway, until federal level.
I could troll an anti american conclusion here, but i know better, Gary is a retard, the UK law that approves all extradition to the us no questions asked proves that there are plenty of idiots in UK government.
I dont want to be an lawyer, even an idiot watcher of Robert Soloway could tell you that in civil court Soloway admitted to not paying tax of any kind in court.
My conclusions - what i know stands up in court, the law in america would seem to overlook a great deal.
Im sure aol is not the worst offender out there yahoo comes to mind but with data retention laws surely are not the dhs/m15/nsa upset at losing all those records ?
The only paid ms upgrade we ever did (other than paying the windows tax on a new pc) was for xp for usb support on one box (yes that support sucked). We used to be big in NT [no usb],
We are now a 100% linux shop,
I have a little experience with vista - a staff member who upgraded his home pc had to rethink internet connection, buy a new printer (not supported in vista anymore) and change isp because that vista software and the big branded isp a 'o' l kept crashing. when he upgraded.
TCO wise - a bad investment for him
Family wise My father has Vista and with huge amounts of memory and after you spend a a day removing the additional Microsoft crap software and ban ie from executing means its ok.
However i completely failed to burn a dvd in his writer using the m/s user software and that was with admin rights - i made some very nice mug mags though before i copied service pack 1 onto a linux host and made a proper cd disk with some decent cd/dvd writing software.
I record about two hours worth a week of it, then filter that to 90 minutes.
Our tv set-up already requires a powered ariel and we have digital tv. I suppose when the tv we have dies we might buy a HD set but those 42 inch screens look like something from the Fahrenheit 451 film.
Since most of tv is junk, i dont see how hi def junk makes much better.
We 'murder' our business broadband providers connection, its always doing stuff, the problem is with flash developers and those Microsoft 'users' with silverlight soon to incur every bodies ire.
The thing with us is that provided it works we don't care about the speed.
So 'Flash' developers and silverlighters - we dont have a high speed connection just for your crap alone, you have to share the bandwidth.
To make things tolerable we use flash blockers and ad blockers. Life's great here
I have read Anathem - it starts on page 185, many of the characters are not important to the plot. Glad i read it YES, but i am very glad i did not buy the book (library).
To judge a book on page size is wrong. The problem for me is the 'new planet' construct. If Stephenson trashed that then the book would have been different.
1. google's browser (windows only so far) 2. Lively - windows os required 3. Google earth buggy as heck in Ubuntu when i tried it.
I think google is good for search - but if they only release eye candy stuff for windows folk and then none of those internet explorer loving people use there stuff who cares.
Im sure the browser will work in oss, but windows was first, Google earth fell over so many times in Ubuntu i consider it a microsoft toy.
Never used Lively, could not without wine and that seems a fools errand.
read them backwards and ....

If you read Cards books backwards Satan tells you to kill farm animals.
I found Enders Game a bit happy clappy, but when i tried to read some of the later books from the library awful and i never finished them.
We use some poe kit and within our building with no worries (over a year now) without needing to install long cables.
I understand from some very limited reading that it can be used to supply comms to a whole building and that has happened in China somewhere.
Transformers might be a problem now but it shakes up the attitude of some companies i see no problems.
Wifi and stuff is great in theory but reading some Debian planet stuff means there might be a bad area or too even with competition, im sure those those towers cost money to maintain and in a low demand area why bother.
Poe works for us 'limited' as it is now. Shaking things up is good.
Somehow when this starts working i can see a sudden enhanced retarded-ness that only a big isp can engage once they realise that there losing clients by the boat load.
I was thinking about a mobile internet 3g thing from orange but it seems that choice is made and i now cannot buy from them now. Not to worry though Im sure they wont mind.
I agree with you, ipv4 is known and you can balance traffic and sell data to phorm and the government for spying.
Ipv6 is an adventure with dragons and tom cruise sized midgets and so it means you need to spend money.
There are other concerns - while our routers don't do ipv6, i could buy new routers and flash them for ipv6 but i doubt that that is not near your average uk users capabilities.
If you run a linux os with a modern web browser, and you visit a site with the scareware it is mildly amusing to see that your registry is screwed up and the site looks like internet explorer in colour scheme but you can download an exe to fix.
Its happened twice to me, and i find them amusing.
Im quite sure this is how windows zombies get signed up, but my penguin knows better.
Slashdot Mirror
Schrodinger's cat is too cool to use vista, and flash
Cats would develop a cred problem.

Vista is bloody awful to fix. My parents new hp laptop (12 months old) has seen three vista reinstalls, Good knows what foo bars Vista boot process.
There users, Installing software is not something they do, they use firefox, ie is disabled (as much as it can be)
I can believe that ms shipped that pile of ****.
Im sure aol is not the worst offender out there yahoo comes to mind but with data retention laws surely are not the dhs/m15/nsa upset at losing all those records ?
'Nobody got fired for buying Microsoft' please explain why HP uses SLED and not say debian ? or Fedora (redhat?)
Used to be a suse user myself - then Novell came.
The GPL is time consuming remember those 235 patent infingements that ms have 'yet' to name ?
I'm not 'rabbid' just theres better distro's out there.
in Ubuntu as deb but oldish website has rc2 - quite fun.
It is an Microsoft os. Novell have gone to the darkside. Mono - oh dear NO Thanks.

Quick list

Im not quite sure the zoo will like that, but ok, anything for a prince.
go kiss some frogs, maybe a local zoo has some from the region and that might become princes.

Who says twitter is important ? they do, i imagine that an oss project like twitter exists out there and will become the thing.
Precisely what value is there in holding a user id called pepsi - i suppose coke might ask p to spam twitter with "c is better than p"
Very intellectual.
Our email volume is down too.
Email can be a pain, but it is worthwhile have your servers. A 'Management' problem for moving it to google and not the admins problem i suspect.

Well least the american who hired them is no criminal. America loves to blame us 'foreigners'
