EPIC Fail!

It is called the Stockholm syndrome and it was invented in Sweden.

Yes but through the CPU given the proper commands it may be theoretically possible to access the HD over a 3G connection.

Looks like this guy is a classic victim of COINTELPRO. Anyone who calls this guy paranoid schizophrenic or the like is probably in on the action.

Also this should be a lesson not to just piss off banks and financial institutions of America but anyone powerful in government for they can and will ruin you.

I use the MagicJack for my phone service and my number is totally unlisted and if I need a new number it costs a nominal fee.

With this I find it would be hard to be harassed by anyone, bill collectors or otherwise.

First they came for Google and I did not complain as I was not Google.

Then they came for Netflix and I did not complain as I was not Netflix.

Then they came for my wallet through low caps and high overage charges and I could not complain because I had no more money.

FTA: The CSIRO will tomorrow unveil a breakthrough in wireless technology that will allow multiple users to upload content at the same time while maintaining a data transfer rate of 12 megabits per second (Mbps), all over their old analog TV aerial.

I use the Mp3 player for voice recordings/notes when I am out and about. I use the calendar on the wall for appointments, grocery lists, rent amounts, and such. I use facebook notes for info that I don't care about with regards to privacy. I try to follow the engineering principle of KISS or keep it simple stupid when dealing with the volume of information.

You may not be able to purge the data from their systems but you can alter it in such a way to make it unrecognizable.

I can imagine a virus or worm that hijacks someone's machine to harvest accounts to post libel. Who is responsible then? What happens when the judge's computer gets hijacked? Same with any speech we find the need to control, who does the law find responsible? Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?

Congress is trying to fence off those turtles. How would Descartes feel about this?

I have activated 4 MagicJacks without issue. I suspect the problem here may be a PEBCAK error here but I am not sure unless I have more info on what you did to include the spec of your machine and connection. I am not sure how your post was rated +5 "informative" because it is anything but. I don't doubt that you had an issue with two of them but from the looks of it you didn't even try to download the update which I suspect would of fixed your issue. Just a guess without knowing more. FYI I do not in any way work for MagicJack.
