You should care - it seems that Hawaii is not an US territory anymore.

real men emulate modem noise straight to the phone receiver

In Soviet Russia streets leak from gas pipes.

you must be new here...
Have you ever picked up the phone to hear modem transmission? If was LOUD!

I use gopher, you insensitive clod!

I'm not a nudist myself, but I just wanna *watch* ...

are you suggesting that SEC list should be "synchronised" with rape victim list, you little dirty boy?

I have a customer with registered avast on all PCs. It comes with bundled "software updater" that deals internally with SOME software (eg. adobe flash or some upgrades of firefox) without running the official installer. Comes quite easy to cope with, so perhaps parents could do some updates.
Otherwise, there is remote admin module as well.

This fixes: opening ratio, opening time, user's IP.

how about a right to decide to cease keeping person in hospital + cease paying?
Would not bring substancial difference to the chances of recovery. Would bring peace of mind for the person in terminal state - sometimes.

Soviets were very efficient. On paper that is.
Basic worker did x units, reported to his boss doing 1.2 x units. His boss reported to supervisor doing 2 x units. Supervisor reported to his supervisor doing 5 units. He reported to whoever run the state statistics that 8 x has been produced.

I know caller ID is set by the originating call switch. As written above, I had to ask my operator to give me info on which operator runs the call switch that originated the call.

Sure, using single outcoming number for entire call center is of course legit. But cases of messing up with country or regional code in called ID, or spoofing numbers of other parties is not legal/gray area in some countries and could be noticed to the regulator body.

ranges are easily blockable. My voip operator would let me define my own filters on the operator side (so don't have to do it on my local side(s)).
I could block entire areas (say +XXYYY*), or just subsets of numbers (say +XXYYYZZZZZ*).

I thought we were talking to the FB subtopic, not to FBI one ;-)
