I don't mind sharing Internet access but
what about the files on my computers? 02/17/2004 12:58 PM
Hi, i have just bought a wireless router and pc card to use at home (my laptop and stationary). I had heard about War chalking so did a search to see how safe it was to use this WLAN. To be honest, i am scared of installing it now. I absolutely don't mind my neighbours being able to connect to the internet through my WLAN, actually I think I might even go and put a letter through theri letter box informing them about it, but before i do i just want to clear a couple of things up: -- Just because they can access the Internet through my WLAN, can they see all the files on my computer. The thing is that I have 3 computers at home and I still want them to be able to share files. I don't think any of my neighbours are seriel hackers but hey, if the info is staring you in them in the face they just might be tempted to look. If i am honest, i think i would. -- Will this drastically slow down my internet connection? Thanks guys, i am just a newby to the WLAN world so please gentle :-

Is Verizon Limiting WiFi Access To Only
Registered Computers?

Is Verizon Limiting WiFi Access To Only
Registered Computers? 08/12/2004 01:28 PM
While companies like Speakeasy continue to win customers by telling people they can do whatever they want with the broadband connection into the home, it looks like Verizon may be going in the other direction. An article in the NY Times suggests that Verizon is rolling out a new system that limits WiFi to only "registered" computers. Unfortunately, the article isn't clear at all, and the issue gets confused because the writer, who was blocked, knows she was using a neighbor's WiFi who was actually connected via SBC. The way the article is written, it sounds like she thought Verizon was somehow getting in the way and blocking her SBC borrowing, when it's pretty obvious that she just picked up the signal from someone else's Verizon-connected WiFi. The more interesting question, though, is whether or not Verizon really is requiring users to "register" every computer they want to log on to an account. If they are, it's a ridiculous and backwards thinking policy. While there's nothing wrong with keeping those you don't want off your WiFi, shouldn't it be up to the person paying for the connection? All Verizon has done is made it much more difficult for its own customers to use WiFi in a useful way. There are plenty of situations where there are perfectly good reasons to open up your WiFi to a "non-registered" computer (someone is visiting and wants to use their computer, you buy another computer, you bring home a work laptop, etc.), and Verizon has just made that much more difficult. Also, why should Verizon need to know how many computers I have accessing the connection? They're just selling the connection. All the more reason to go with a more customer friendly broadband ISP.

Microsoft Download Centre Demanding OS

Thanks c e 3 2 0 from our BPN forum for this scoop.

The Microsoft Download Centre has been updated with some graphical improvements on both the search, listings and item pages. Crucially in the new look download centre many application downloads are now being flagged with a "Genuine Users Symbol" Clicking the link takes you off to read about the new validation system:

"The validation process also determines if you have activated your copy of Windows. If you have not activated Windows, you will be asked to enter the 25-character product key printed on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) you received with your PC or software purchase.

Windows Activation is not required. You may access genuine Windows downloads with either an activated Windows client, or by using a Windows services activation key. Activation is, however, the quickest and easiest way to receive genuine Windows downloads from the Download Centre. Activation is also the best way to let Microsoft know that you are a Windows Genuine Advantage customer, and that you are ready to receive the service and support you that expect and deserve from Microsoft. Read more about the Windows activation process."

The document implies that is checking product activation, something only applicable to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. So for it to still be present on other Microsoft operating systems implies that it's also checking keys as well. Although that is pure speculation on my part. The checker is an ActiveX control and is not mandatory to complete the download process.

Family Of Man Who Came Up With Googol

Family Of Man Who Came Up With Googol
Demanding A Piece Of Google 05/16/2004 04:34 PM
Stunning. Someone should write a book about the amazing things people (who don't work at Google) have done in their attempts to cash in on the insane amount of greed that seems to grip people when it comes to the upcoming Google IPO. There's already been a scam of someone selling fake pre-IPO Google shares who convinced a number of Wall Street insiders and big company execs to shell out. Now, however, we have the descendants of the man who came up with the term "googol" (on which Google based their name) claiming that Google is unfairly profiting off of their intellectual property. No, seriously. They haven't yet taken legal action, but are trying to persuade Google that they deserve pre-IPO shares in the company. They make it out as if this is them being nice - and suggesting that it's Google's ethical obligation to give them shares, or they may need to sue. It shouldn't be at all surprising to find out that the descendant leading this charge is a Silicon Valley "compensation specialist." She complains that she wrote the company in 1988 (I assume this is a typo, as the company was founded in 1998) and they didn't write back - which she attributes to them either being busy or arrogant. I think it's fair to attribute this latest move by this family to greed.

Students demanding more instructional

secretary 02/01/2005 09:47 PM

The United States Education secretary stated that students have increased access to information technology, but would like to see greater pedagogical use of it. Rod Paige remarked that

"Education is the only business still debating the usefulness of technology... Schools remain unchanged for the most part despite numerous reforms and increased investments in computers."

Nine in 10 children between age 5 and 17 use computers, and even higher numbers of online teenagers use the Internet for school-related work, according to the report sent to Congress. The largest group of new users of the Internet from 2000 to 2002 were kids age 2 to 5.

Page's comments came during the same period as the launch of a National Education Technology Plan .

Computers That Jam

Computers That Jam 08/17/2004 01:29 PM
While many musical purists dislike electronic music for a variety of reasons, one big thing is the "programmed" feel to it. However, the latest software is trying something different: it will let the computer jam with a real musician. The software takes the music the live musician plays, and tries to riff off what's actually being played. It's not clear how good it is, but realizing that computers are only getting faster, it's only going to get better. Some will still question how well a piece of software will be able to improvise compared to human musicians, but it may not be long before your favorite jam band adds in some computerized solos.
