We condidered it last year, for about 800 machines. We didn't go with it because it needed multiple servers, and some of those had to be 32 bit servers. The SQL I believe it was, not totally sure but I think it only ran on a 32 bit sql server, which we don't have any of. Went with Kaspersky, been working great.

I'm not sure you understood what I meant. If Rogers is offering a streaming video service through their internet service, they have to count that towards your data cap just as they would for netflix. They can't give their own service an unfair and artificial advantage like that. They certainly would love to, and thats what the whole net neutrality debate is about. This came up when Bell first started throttling customers. One of the reasons the CRTC ruled with Bell initially was because they also throttled customers using Bell's own services.

I'm surprised to hear that part about your ISP's own offerings not being included in the cap. I believe in Canada, that practice is illegal. If they are going to cap you they can't discriminate their traffic or a competitors.

Team Viewer 5 does this. You send the person a link, or verbally tell them the URL over the phone. It downloads an EXE file, they run it. The program gives them some numbers they read off to you, and you connect using those numbers. Done! I use it a lot for helping friends/family.

True for VHS, but initially the adult industry backed HD-DVD, not bluray,and bluray still won.

A few years back on April Fools day I sent around an e-mail staying passwords would now be expiring weekly (instead of quarterly), your password had to be 24 characters long, and we'd all have to use swipe cards to open any doors in the building. I got a bunch of horrified responses, but mostly people caught on. Flash forward 2 years. We merged our Active Directory domain with out head office, and the password requirements shot up (not as much as I said in my e-mail, but more then users were used to). Also we all got ID/swipe cards, although as of yet we don't use them for anything other then looking pretty.

Me too. I currently use my android based phone with a 'wifi tether' app, which can share the 3g over wifi or bluetooth. I have a CarPC in my car for wife/kids, it gets internet from phone, so they can surf on long trips.

Google recently released Nexus one that supports Rogers 3G networks, and it is available for Canadians to buy, there is also a version for Wind. Bell/Telus can't run the Nexus one yet though.

Rogers has already announced everyone with one of these handsets will be getting one month of free data service. However, I don't think it's right Rogers has cutoff our data in order to force us to update. I have a rooted magic running a 1.6 rom which is immune to this 911 problem. They want me to reflash back to their 1.5rom, which co-incidentally they loaded a new SPL into that is currently unbreakable, so we can't even flash back to another rom after. Brief history: -Rogers announces there is a critical problem with 911 on dream and magic phones. The issue is related to GPS trying to send your location when you call 911. -Rogers advises customers to disable GPS until they issue a fix. -Rogers releases a new ROM that fixes the issue, they say if you don't update to it within a day or so, your internet access will be cut off (this also allows 911 calls to go through since it can't try to transmit your location)

Not exclusive no, the US does license out that right to other countries :)

First off, I like alternatives as much as the other guy, I use firefox and opera as my main browsers. However, this complaint is just stupid. Are some of you so jaded that you can't stand the fact that you will be in IE for all of 30 seconds while you choose something else? You don't even have to manually go find your browser of choice, for the vast majority of us our choice is among the ones listed. This whole browser ballot thing is just an inconvenience for about 90% of the population out there.

I say this to customers and friends too, but I am serious. Norton AV is horrid. It does make your computer more unusable then most virii out there. It's sad to see how crappy the norton name has become. I still fondly remember using Norton Commander back in the DOS days, loved that program.

It's VERY annoying now. I built a CarPC and had it working well with my old WinMo phone, making/receiving calls over the BT connection, address book, and the like would come up on the computer screen (8" touch screen). My new magic is awesome, but I now have nothing BT wise working beyond a basic headset.

Well Rogers has both the original G1 and the Magic. The local Rogers outlets here in Southern Ontario have had them for several weeks at least (thats just the first time I went into a store, could be longer). Rogers is nationwide, so you should be able to find them there too.
