  1. Comment - Enraged Canadian subscribers sue wireless providers over SMS fees

    (Aug 5, 2008 - 6:07 PM)

    I have 3 cell accounts in Canada, and I get anywhere from 3 to 15 spam messages everyday. The same providers who want to charge for these messages have gateways that anyone can use to send messages to mobile numbers totally free of charge an anonymously.

    You can even script an advertisement and give the script a range of numbers and it will send to all the numbers. no errors for phones that are not text enabled. They just don't get their messages.

    Starting in Sept of this year in Canada you can have your name placed on a don't call list that keeps you from getting annoying calls etc from marketers. The problem being it's only in Canada. All of my telemarketer calls come from other countries and they do not have to abide by the rules.

    Just another fine example of a government that has been steadily failing its people.

  2. Comment - OpenSUSE 11.0 final release now underway

    For me, the price. I am not a power user, but I have found nothing windows can do for me that suse can't. It runs falcon 4.0 and Bridge Commander. and open office does everything that MS office does.

  3. Comment - OpenOffice tests show it's progressively getting slower

    OpenOffice WILL survive and get better. It does what microsoft doesn't. It listens directly to it's users.

  4. Comment - Can a touch-screen interface turn Windows around?

    oh happy day.

    Just what I have always wanted, I come home after a hard days work now and kick back in my easy chair and use my cordless mouse and keyboard to check email etc..

    Look like thats all going to be easier now that i will probably have to sit within arms length of my computer screen again. I see this as being more useless junk from microsoft.
