CDR: Boost your internet connection and PC's speed..
by Hi There... 15 Oct '00

15 Oct '00

Wish you had a faster system and Internet connection? Join the club. We all turn on our computers and log in to the net, sometimes for hours every day. When you add up all the time you're plugged in and online, it's amazing how much more productivity (and free time!) you could gain if your computer and Internet connection weren't holding you back from what you *really* want to be doing. http://ascentive.00server.com/ But at what cost? A high-speed Internet connection can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars annually, and the latest high-end systems start at $3,000. If you don't want to shell out, what can you do instead? The secret lies in Windows, which (not surprisingly) has built-in "bottlenecks" that clog the travel of data through your system's internal pathways, seriously slowing down your computer and Internet connection. Windows arrives on your computer "optimized" for a large corporate LAN. That makes sense for Microsoft, which has to meet the expectations of demanding corporate buyers who extensively test new systems on the LAN before making a purchasing decision. But where does it leave the home user? You've shelled out good money for your computer and Internet connection, but you can't use it to its full potential because you're not on a large corporate network. Fortunately, there's software to optimize how Windows uses *your* system hardware and Internet connection, boosting your computer and Internet performance. http://ascentive.00server.com/ Optimize your computer and Internet connection as part of your occasional maintenance routine, like defragmenting your hard drive.

CDR: Senate approves online booze ban; FCC, landlords, and telcos

http://www.cluebot.com/article.pl?sid=00/10/15/2120258&mode=nested Senate Votes to Restrict Online Booze Sales posted by cicero on Sunday October 15, @04:19PM from the so-junior-doesn't-order-that-$45-california-merlot dept. The U.S. Senate voted 95-0 last week to restrict online alcohol sales. The purported reason: Beer and wine wholesalers claim it would protect children. "This law will put real power behind state efforts to enforce laws that require responsible marketing (and) ID checks," one lobbyist said in a Wired News article. The real reason: Wholesalers fear being bypassed by mail order firms -- that would mean losing lucrative markups -- and have handed millions of dollars in campaign contributions to Congress. The House has already approved the bill, part of an unrelated measure about trafficking in sex slaves, and the president is expected to sign it shortly. http://www.cluebot.com/article.pl?sid=00/10/14/1956211&mode=nested FCC Wants to Force Net Access on Landlords posted by cicero on Saturday October 14, @02:47PM from the so-much-for-private-property dept. Adam Thierer of the conservative Heritage Foundation writes in with a recent article he wrote about the FCC. He's angry about a proposed regulation the agency is considering: It requires apartment and office building owners to let telcom companies wire the place, at a cost to be determined by the Feds. So much for private property, eh? Thierer's article is below.
