  I have had good luck.  A recent Epson scanner that was purchased
runs beautifully and even an older Microtek runs under OS 10.5 after a
couple of manipulations were done to the original Microtek scanning
software that was written for 10.3 and is not supposed to work in any
Mac OS above that version.

Re: [CGUYS] FCC head calls for broadband availability

[Rev. Stewart Marshall]

One of the huge problems with most American businesses has always 
been too much focus on short term profits not enough on long term.


Even the US tax code has focused on short term profits instead of long term.

Nicht Vahr?

When it comes to your proposal I got it pretty clear.

Socialism is not always a bad way to go, but it is easily corrupted 
and co-opted, such as capitalism.


The problem with politicians is that they think they can keep 
everyone or a specific group happy.  Problem is that is not always 
what is the reality in governing.


Governing means leading for the best for all people not just one 
constituency.  (Try being a pastor, same problem)


If a politician is doing his/her job appropriately someone is always 
going to pissed at them.  That is part of the landscape.


To make broadband truly accessible to all people you would have to 
make it a regulated, legislated commodity.


The same thing is happening with health care right now.

"Don't disable the camera" is not the same thing as "Don't put a post-it

"Some such"? Again, unless there's something else I can't find, "some such" 
amounted to labeling, not censorship. 

She didn't say that you can't listen to music about mofos and beyotches and

I could easily put together a USB drive, especially a U3-type that presents
as a CD drive, with stuff for Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and others.

All you need is a curious but clueless user to mess up any of those
Operating Systems.

Plenty of stories out there about people "losing" a handful of USB drives,
and finding 80+% of them were inserted in people's computers and clicked on,
compromising the computers.

People who wouldn't click on a dangerous web site are likely to think that
the USB they found or borrowed must have something interesting on it.

Just more user education, really.

Great ban but stupid.

Many of our high priced, and expensive pieces of machinery also use

You appear to have signed up for the ignorance entitlement program.  
The Feds, if anything, audit themselves too much.

[CGUYS] Apple App Store Gets Really Silly

[tjpa]

AppleInsider | Swimwear seller hit by Apple's removal of 'sexual' apps

"It’s just women in bikinis" says the guy from the Simply Beach  
catalog store.


What's next, mandatory burqas? But then these day, songs played on the  
radio are full of gaps where a word or two has been deleted. These  
left overs from the Bush administration continue to snowball.

>From Techdirt-
Apparently, in various forums, blog posts and videos, one of the school's
techies talked about the technology they were using and how to set it up so
that the user would not realize they were being spied on. He also discussed
how to prevent a laptop using this software from being "jailbroken," so
users couldn't discover that their computers were being used in this manner.
Other forum posts from students at the school show that they were told they
could not use other computers, could not disable the cameras and could not
jailbreak their laptops on the risk of expulsion.
