I've had MagicJack+ for a while now, seems to work quite well. I have even had success faxing on a dedicated fax machine. For the money, it seems to be a great deal. My only real annoyance is its voice mail -- I really wish it didn't even exist because It doesn't beep or otherwise attract...

A thread, in Wikipedia? I don't understand, it isn't a forum but rather a collection of articles.

I would argue that several major drivers of PC sales don't exist anymore. The modern CPU's are more than capable so that there isn't a large need to upgrade (other than the video card for gaming). Most people, in industrial nations, have or have access to computers so just getting one is no...

What encryption method is that? Using someone else's encrypted computer, for example, creates all sorts of potentially undesirable scenarios like blackmail or them going to the police.

Drop the resolution on the monitor so it isn't maxed out.

I didn't think you needed those answers. No, I have not. No, she has not, at least to my knowledge. The only alcohol I have drank was on my 21st birthday and then it was only one fruit drink out of obligation. So, no I have not. I know nothing about Thailand's royal family and thereby no I...

Basically, it is not the fleeing that makes an offense extraditable rather it is the offense itself. If you look at the rules for Australia, fleeing is not even mentioned as a factor.

But now that the world is interconnected, one can commit crimes in a foreign country like hacking a banking system and never leave your own country. I think of it like using a sniper rifle to kill someone across a border (never leaving your own country). I just don't see a reason that that is...

US extradition rules and regulations for Australia As a sample

P.S. I can't think of any instances where a country tried to extradite someone that didn't directly affect the country. Allowing US citizens to pirate copyrighted material definitely satisfies the affecting the US criteria. My guess is that if a country tried to extradite someone for...

We are not ignoring Sovereignty. We have extradition treaties with most all countries. They signed them, we use them. It goes back and forth for they get to extradite our citizens too. It is not a one way street. The process of extradition typically goes through that countries courts and...

Sorry, but I have no problem extraditing people in foreign countries breaking US laws when they affect the US even if the country has no law against it. The world is too connected and it is too easy to cross borders using the internet and do harm. While copyright problems may be a bit minor on...

Definely nope! Every time I visit any of my relatives I'm expected to fix any issues they have on any of their machines. I've gotten to the point that I just ask how Mr. (or Mrs.) Computer is doing before I visit so I can allocate extra time to the visit, if needed.

My opinion: People supposedly like StorageForum because the signal to noise ratio is relatively high. I observe that in this thread the signal is zero and the noise is 100%. Why does anyone care what the outside temperature is at Santilli's location when virtually everyone here lives...

Don't know about that, but keyboards preferences are very significant to some. I know that I much prefer Northgate's but the Dell's are good enough. I do know that those beige Northgate's could certainly get very grungy. Every few years I'd have to spend an evening with a Q-tip and rubbing...

I sold all (4) of my Northgate Omnikey keyboards for $130-$110 each about a year ago. All of them were having issues with individual keys (I had been swapping them out till there were no more working properly). I contacted a refurbisher specializing in them, for repair but I decided to sell...

Baen Free Library is a joy to use especially since they seem to specialize in SF/Fantasy which is my favorite escapism. Thanks for the link.

I just got a kindle, I find that reading web sites in that format to be outright a frustrating experience. Changing the font size to make things readable only means I have too much scrolling to do. The only redeeming feature of its experimental browser comes when I can read something in...

I won't even visit Facebook's web site. It is my understanding that they track you (and sell that info) at every site that has a facebook +1 link which is an awefull lot of sites now and it totally bypasses any privacy agreements they have with their users. Their privacy agreement pertains to...

The US has never been the land of the free as much as the land where profit is king. I used to comment significantly in my local newspaper's web site. Unfortunately, my local newspaper (owned by Gannet) is now requiring Facebook to comment. I refuse to get a Facebook account, so no commenting...

It seems likely to me, that eventually OEM's, under contract with Microsoft, will lock down OEM PC's. Really, the only reason it has never happened was that it was inconvenient to do but once the capability is built into the standard BIOS it just becomes self evident that it will happen in...

Where does one get to practice this enough to get good at it?

The only time I've ever gotten something I "enjoyed" from a doctor was a shot of Demerol when I shattered my left shoulder socket into a dozen pieces after falling off my roof onto a sidewalk. However, it wasn't worth the pain (before the shot) that they inflicted while manipulating my arm...

Undoubtably.

But every dentist I've ever seen, when they first look at the X-rays wants to remove them and every 4-5 years with the same dentist will again bring up the subject. I think the Standard care model tells the dentist that they are supposed to preventively remove them so that they are obligated to...

None of mine have erupted. They are all sitting sideways against the jaw buried deep in the gum. It would cost at the least a couple thousand per tooth to remove them. Currently, they are not infected nor are they affecting the adjacent teeth and they've been that way all my life (50+ years)...

I have all four of mine impacted. It has been recommended several times by different dentists throughout my life to remove them proactively. I did the research and the actual data is that only a very small percentage of people actually have problems but if they do, the problems tend to be...

I thought the only mainstream battery technology with a memory issue were NiCad's. I also thought they weren't used anymore for Smart phones because of that and that they don't have the energy density needed. I avoid any battery device that uses Nicad's like the plague. I've had too many bad...

Fair enough. I did some research and it seems you are correct that the pin form of WPS can be hacked with just a few thousand tries. The current recommendation, for prevention, is to disable WPS to prevent this and on the WNDR3700 there is no option to disable WPS. I guess we have to wait for...

Are you saying that on your WNDR3700 that a wireless NIC can automatically read the security settings by pressing its WPS button without you having to press the routers button? I have a WNDR3700 and it does not do that on mine. Or are you just complaining that it has the WPS feature and you...

I think WPS is a good thing. It encourages users to use big ass long complex hard to remember passwords because you don't have to remember or recite them back. I find that most people that can't get their wireless devices to work are having issues with security settings. People that have...

Which version of Server 2003? You will see that the Web edition only supports 2-way SMP. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc758523(WS.10).aspx

You need to specify OEM vs retail. They use different keys, so an key for OEM will not work on a retail copy and the same for the inverse.

My point is that the data device will never give out its phone number, only an Email address. So what difference will it make that it accesses the cell phone provider using a different phone number. Unless you tell someone the phone number of the data device or call some one using the data...

Pay attention -- I'm saying they don't have to have the same phone number. Just don't ever use the data phone as a phone, just use it for data purposes and no one will ever know that they are two different phones. Just buy a dedicated phone phone (with texting capability) and then consider the...

Why? The two phones can have different phone numbers the smart data phone never gets called and you don't call others on it so it will never interface at the phone number level. If necessary, you can pick a phone phone that can send and receive text messages that isn't "smart" so that they...

Separate the two functions. Buy a non-smart phone maximized for battery life and use it as your phone and clip it on your belt where a big battery and thin form factor doesn't matter. Then separately buy a smart phone for data usage and expect it to run out of power occasionally.

Sorry, but I would contend that rather than lots of bad songs, it is merely your tastes have changed over the years. I've collected hundreds of CD's, from lots of different artists over the years and I only bought that which I thought was great at the time. I've gone over them relatively...

Check your boot order and remove any unnecessary devices. Perhaps, you have a device like a floppy or network booting enabled that is unnecessary and taking lots of time to detect and reject.

Chrome beta-m is at 16.0.912.63 as of right now.

Yes, as a tablet I think it is a very good bargain. I'm not disagreeing that it can do movies, videos, the internet, and all that. It is a glorified smart phone without the phone capability and it does that well. It is a question of marketing. Amazon (Or perhaps Best Buy) is not marketing...

I was hanging around the Best Buy kindle area. The general population does not get it. The Kindle fire is not an E-reader, rather it is a tablet and all current tablets are just big smart phones without the phone capability. I think that Amazon made a mistake labeling the Fire as a Kindle...

I do not feel the need to defend my honor for you folks are doing just fine. The statement was not intended as a jab towards Merc. It was just a statement of fact in relation to the anti-DC statements given. I felt that the opposing viewpoint needed to be expressed. Plus it is true I've...

I really find it hard to believe that this thread has 50 replies considering the geographic locations of most of the people here are not anywhere even close to Santilli and it is just a thread reporting the temperature of where he is located. Why does anybody care? Sorry, but I'm being...

I've played DC universe online by Sony. It is a limited game, but free and better than COH/COV

For Earl -- Karma, ain't it a bitch! So what have you done wrong recently? or for the secular humanists - statistics evening out. Sorry, but it is the nature of technology for it to simultaneously crash at the least opportune time. When I was in college, a long time ago when there were no...

I've been enjoying "Once upon a time". I like quirky and it is definitely that.

I have a buggy whip, it was given to me as a gift. So there must still be a market and a supplier somewhere. It was given to me, so I could whip wild rug-rats back into line. Not an officially approved usage, but I assure you it does the job efficiently. Where yelling and authority may be...

I've tried the Seagate 1.5TB 7200.11. It took 2 returns to get one that lasted. The first, clicked every 3-5 seconds doing continuous resets. It's replacement (from the retailer) ran dangerously hot. I returned that one too and got a good one. I contend that 1 out of 3 is not reliable. Not...
