Now that you mention it, I don't remember the last time I had to power cycle my routers or switches, and I've got 3 of them if you count the wifi. Get equipment that doesn't suck.
Well of course when you dumb down the instruction, you dumb down the entire school. The next step in dumbing down America will have to be some sort of television subsidy program. Oh, wait...
"What are you in for?" "I got five years for raping and torturing a crippled nun, slashing her throat, then raping her some more. You?" "I let people download some albums. But it was a LOT of albums."
"In any backup scenario, those that could be incriminated by the backups, should NEVER be allowed to manage them. An independent organization should be tasked with managing the IT behind the scenes, it should not be left in the hands of the administration."
Better yet, emails should be "backed up" straight to the web for anyone to see a copy. Classified or sensitive information could be backed up by the other branches as mentioned (encrypted and requiring two branches to decrypt).
Wait, are you implying there are shows that *aren't* centered around promoting the products of the network's sponsors? Where might I find these rare gems?
"But that binge left Microsoft with a huge hangover. As the new decade started, it was supporting a tangle of versions and upgrades. Then the Internet bubble burst and PC sales slowed. New products like Windows ME weren't as well received as the older ones."
This gives the impression that ME wasn't well received because of lower PC sales. In fact, ME wasn't well received because it was a complete piece of shit. I hope the editors make this correction soon.
"I have not idea what you mean by 'emergency legislation'. The Administration has enough trouble getting any legislation passed"
The emergency legislation they should have attempted back when the republicans controlled all three branches of government, of course. If, again, they had wanted to go about it legally.
I must say, your attempts at trolling are extremely poor. You haven't been at this long, have you?
No one has been opposed to "listening in on terrorists." If calling the AG and saying "we have intelligence indicating enemy activity on this line, can we get a verbal confirmation to start tapping under FISA statute?" is too much of a burden, there's always emergency legislation to attempt to make it even easier. Again, if you wanted to go about it legally.
"Now when the US has an active intercept from a known terrorist in a foreign country who places a phone call to any US telephone number, they have to get a warrant before the telecom companies will allow them to listen in."
Really? Because under FISA before, they could have retroactively applied for the warrant up to 72 hours after the wiretap action. That is, if they wanted to go about it legally or something.
In other good news, the administration's actions over the last 6.5 years have also kept "deaths by wooly mammoth" at zero (as measured by the yardstick of "number of deaths by wooly mammoth"). I think that's something we can all get behind.
I stopped buying from major labels and started taking the music instead when they strongarmed a tax on blank cassettes, which I had previously only used for music I created. If they succeed in making me pay for it again, I'll have to step up my efforts and share the music with everyone else. After all, I'm paying for the privilege.

Sure, although if I'm still reading Slashdot at 86 you might as well just put a bullet in me anyway.
A better use of GM's time would be to detect when a driver is old, then disable the engine and lock the brakes.
I don't think SCO has $2.5 million. I don't even think SCO has $2.50.
Breaking news, Slashdot: continents move around.

"ISP's sell access - and if you provide access to others against their TOS then you are stealing."
And since Speakeasy is an ISP whose TOS explicitly allows customers to share their connections, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.
Depends on the ISP. Speakeasy, for instance, encourages users not only to share but even to resell their access.
Good luck with that shit ISP you have that tells you sharing is a crime, though.
Easier fix: find or run a proxy server.
Added bonus: random strangers don't know your real location unless you want them to.

"did the article just speculate?"
Welcome to Slashdot!
"Last I checked liquid water is called ice"
Close! Liquid water is called "water."
Well hey, look on the bright side: if the US dollar value keeps plummeting, corporations will start outsourcing their computer work there.
"What are you in for?"
"I got five years for raping and torturing a crippled nun, slashing her throat, then raping her some more. You?"
"I let people download some albums. But it was a LOT of albums."
Notes is a piece of shit, and the only mail client to actually make me miss the "good old days" of Outlook.

National Security Letters are a "proven law enforcement tool" as well, but that doesn't mean we can trust the government to get it right.

I'm going to tag it "skiffy" just to make you guys screech.
