Dell is off my list; their laptops no longer have replaceable batteries, so I bought Lenovo for a friend.

After 4 years with 250MB for $60/mo; now on TotalWireless w/6GB for $35. TW is part of Tracfone and uses Verizon, so I win.

Upgraded 4K to 16K... WOW! :D Punched holes in floppy jackets to double-side them.

In most (all?) states, Boards/Commissions can regulate LICENSED entities only. They can reprimand, fine in some cases, revoke licenses; BUT they must ask their Attorney General to enforce violations of law outside the Board's/Commission's jurisdiction, including "acting as a licensee". These organizations will sometimes exceed their statutory authority through ignorance of their state's laws. Slap down overreach where it exists...

Good grief! We were doing this in the early 60s when the carbon microphones in our headsets crapped out. Switching earpeice between ear & mouth gave us half vs full duplex comms too... :)

will finally solve the mystery of the light -- it's ON in order to see what's inside...

three times now. Even offered to handle the last ~800 from the road to no avail. Meanwhile Windstream keeps raising price -- now nearly $80 for a measly 6-Mbps.

Windstream provides a whopping(sic) 6-Mbps for nearing $80/mo. Cable internet crosses my driveway and every request for connection has been turned down because I'm too far off the road; even after my offer to take care of the last 700 feet...

My 2 Samsung smart TVs will be permanently disconnected from the network if this happens -- the ultimate Ad Blocker...

Was in Baltimore on Monday and saw a couple of planes circling... they had trailing advertising banners -- what a great cover to hide their real intent...

Does this prevent an implementer from disclosing it to the agency itself? "The Investigatory Powers Bill would also make it a criminal offense, punishable with up to 12 months in prison and/or a fine, for anyone involved to reveal the existence of those backdoors, in any circumstances (Section 190(8).)"

I've always viewed /. as a place for early breaking information. If you want a more complete report, try participating in some of the heavy lifting. I've provided a method of getting at the traffic. A hint: don't expect a LinkSys Hub to work, they are really switches. As to the "data" -- almost all of it is encrypted if you have the resources to crack it.

Some of the URIs point to image files which return "denied" XML... Since you want them, here's the list, minus some URIs that should only come from the TV's built-in browser which was not invoked during that under 5-minute trace:

Hmm... had to greatly shrink the list because /. returns "Your comment has too few characters per line (currently 39.8)." -- Huh?
