| They keep getting it wrong
"Like the railroads of the 19th century and the interstate highways of the 20th, the nationwide development of broadband networks is an engine of economic growth that will carry the United States into the decades ahead."
The railroads are booming like never before, and will continue to do so in the coming years, they are helping bring the US into the decades ahead as well, an economic engine carrying America's present and future on ribbons of steel (among them, the raw goods and finished products that make broadband possible, as well as having miles of fiber laid along their lines, the UP RR, for example, has the largest fiber network in the US) . The media, once again has portrayed railroads as something in the past, they couldn't be more wrong. Now, back to your regularly scheduled tech talk

| huge mistake...
this will kill the DSL market they have in Manhattan. Many folks I know who could not get DSL on there old crappy unmaintained phone lines used the DSL outside their window via the hotspots...
Anybody can see this was done based on profit margin dreams and had nothing to do with actual customer needs.
bleeeeeeh.

| Next Linux kernel 'securer than Windows'
I hate to spell out the ABCs for everyone, AGAIN, but security is mainly that of the problem with the user. Windows users were given advice, in the manual Microsoft graciously spent money to make and the trees that were killed to make it, that an administrator account shouldn't be used for day-to-day tasks. Now I suggested in Microsoft's security newsgroup that default accounts be restrictive, and got the following reply:Microsoft has taken security very seriously in the last couple of years.
Does that mean security will be perfect in the future - of course not.
Security certainly will be very important in Longhorn. Windows 2003 for
example installs in much more secure state. It strongly recommends that you
use a complex password when you install it and services that used to be
installed automatically are not anymore such as IIS. XP will allow a blank
password but by default a user account with a blank password can not be used
to access network shares. I give Microsoft a lot of credit for SP2 which
increases security quite a bit with much better security for RPC and
Internet Explorer and a better Windows Firewall that is enabled by default.
The Windows Security Center was devised as a way to simplify security
configuration for users. For the consumer market security versus
convenience is much harder to balance. If everything is locked down too much
then reports will be out that the operating system is "broken" and nothing
works.
Unfortunately Microsoft can only do so much with the most evasive part of
security equation - the end users. You can make all the recommendations you
want but most users still will not follow them either ignoring the advice or
failing to read it. My emphasis added. Installing/using all the apps I tested under a limited account was perfectly feasible with a few shortcomings from the developer(s) of the software.
If stability is added to this topic, then i'd ask the next person how I can choose to keep Windows booted up for weeks if I wanted to without a problem or restarting, and do intensive number crunching tasks such as games. I'd turn it off for storms, or plain think the hardware has been worked too long.

Re: prison for up to 3 years
This crap has really gotten out of hand.
More and more people are going to jail for what, for all intents and purposes, should be civil matters. So what if 50 cent's CD makes it to some P2P network 2 weeks before it comes out? Someone deserves to spend 3 years in jail for this? Give me a break.
Every day at work, I see people who have committed assaults, robberies and rapes do much less "hard time" than this. We should save our expensive prison space for VIOLENT criminals, not this bogus shit.... |

Trains don't use gasoline. Once gas and oil reach outrageous prices, trains will be our main mode of transporting goods in America.

Re: They keep getting it wrong
Say what? Trains may not use 'gasoline' but the majority of them - especially the heavy freight haulers - use diesel which comes from the same crude and is basically the same fuel the 'big-rigs' use to deliver goods on the roads. |
