earthlink dial up was always as simple as opting out of their crappy software and creating the dun entry manually.
Took me about 30 seconds to have it running on all 4 computers in my house back when win98 didn't have a SE.
First few times though, that software screwed me all up.
I disagree,
take any person of reasonable intelligence and place them in an unfamiliar settting. They become retarded.
The fact that they have been in front of that unfamiliar device for 20 years means they just don't care.
Give me a user who cares to familiarize them-self with the system and 6 months, I'll give you a half decent sysadmin. At least better than half of the paper certified MCSE's I've had the pleasure to work with.
on the other hand "I" don't give a rats ass about your data, I want to be sure that YOUR machine isn't compromised and/or infected and sending me spam. That's all I care about, YOU NOT SENDING ME SPAM.
If you're smart enough to handle a computer that isn't an infected bot then all is well and good. If you're not, please either get off the net or use an appliance like this to limit the amount of damage you can do to me and my networks.
I think this new netbook or whatever they're marketing it as will server a very under-fulfilled market. Will I buy one, probably not unless it's a gift to my parents. Do I think it's a good idea, yea I think I do.
you would just waste them anyway
Are you retarded?
If you're single with no children you don't pay the fucking tax. There is no tax to pay if you're single with or without children.
The benefit is to reduce the tax burden on married gay couples. There is no burden for single people or straight married couples.
Single person == Contributions to health insurance are not taxed.
Single Person w/Children == Contributions to health insurance are not taxed.
Married Straight Couple == Contributions to health insurance are not taxed.
Married/Cohabitating Gay Couple == Contributions to health insurance are taxed.
Unmarried straight couple == Contributions to health insurance not taxed.
Unmarried straight couples can... get married to avoid this tax. Gay couples can not.
Before my wife and I were married she was on my insurance as a domestic partner and I did pay the tax.
When we got married, I no longer had to pay the tax.
Here in the states we use the simple dots or feathers qualifier to determine which kind of indian it is.
killing other humans is just as if not more natural than sex.
I manage hundreds of networks all over the country and Bit Torrent absolutely negatively affects network performance like no other application or protocol.
If I have 1 person at a property running a bit torrent client, I know for a fact that I'll have a dozen calls from other "legitimate" users of the network.
If the protocol was written to be less of a bandwidth hog, it wouldn't have nearly the bad reputation it does. What we need is a better peer to peer protocol. Bit torrent is great if I'm at home, but if you use it on any of my networks I'm going to block your mac address and you don't get to play internet anymore. I don't care if the bits you're downloading are legit, hacked, copywritten or even a linux ISO. If it kills my network performance it is my obligation to get rid of it.
So why isn't there a significant, sustained effort to minimize air travel?
$$$
not too hard to figure out. and really what is the alternative to air travel for moving vast amounts of people vast distances.
I don't know, but you seem to have all the answers.
best post ever
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
