News Group Censorship

I was dumbfounded to find that Verizon has restricted newsgroup access to what it calls "the Big 8."  Is there any possible other explanation than CENSORSHIP to explain this?  It surely can't be bandwidth with all the video downloads that are occurring everywhere else.  
In a time when the Chinese look ridiculous for their attempts at Internet restrictions how could Verizon think locking out a portion of the Internet would be acceptable?  We have been fairly pleased with Fios but we will be switching to another provider if this policy stays in effect.  

Thank you for your inquiry, Concerned.
We believe that limiting our Newsgroup service to the Big 8 groups will dramatically cut down on the availability of child pornography, which we believe is an important step in the overall fight against the exploitation of children online. We remain committed to combating child pornography and where we discover it on any Verizon server, we will immediately take action consistent with our terms of service to remove the content and report the matter to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Verizon's decision to limit its Newsgroup service to the Big 8 hierarchies does not prevent you or any other customer from accessing alt newsgroups through other Newsgroup services, including commercial Newsgroups as well as web-based services like Google Groups which are available at no charge.

  • In contacts section for the groups section i want to delete old groups i have on the phone and then add a new group for easy access for work contacts for calling. rather then searching each individual contact when needed. is this possible?

    i currently have about 6 different groups listed on the iphone in my contact list section and i want to delete the old ones and create a new group for work puposes!
    i dont want any apps all i want is something similar to my favourites list but in a group so i can just go into that work group and scroll to the person i need to call and this way seperating my personal and work contacts.
    because i do alot of calls from my car i dont want to have to search my contact lists to find the right person i just want them all in a simple folder.
    is this possible because if i already have groups on my iphone i should be able to delete the old ones and create a new one?

    Deleting groups on the phone and creating new ones is not supported with iOS4, you'll have to do that on your computer and sync again.
    Let's see if they changed that in iOS5 when it is released.

  • I have created a group in my address book, but when I try to use it to send out a group email, only a comma shows up. How do I send out an email using my new group contact list?

    I have created a group in my address book, but when I try to use it to send mail, only a comma shows up. How can I send mail using my new group? I have an IMac with OSLion.

    I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

  • In address book how do I move all cards from my 'last import' smart group into a new group?

    In Address Book, how do I move all cards from my 'last import' smart group into a new group that I will create? So far I am not being allowed to Edit Smart Group!

    You’re going to have a very big problem and very soon. These missing pics are the beginning of trouble.
    the total size of all my folders on my 60gb internal drive is 46.5 gb, yet only 1.9 gb is available,
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of free space on the hard drive for normal OS operations such as virtual memory and temporary files. Without this space the machine slows down as the OS hunts for free space, files become fragmented and applications begin to crash. The risk of data corruption increases exponentially.
    You must, as a matter of urgency, make space on the drive. I cannot stress this enough.
    You may be able to recover the pics from your camera card using an app such as MediaRecover

    Info taken from other discussion threads on Win not recognizing iPhone:
    NOT SEEN IN ITUNES:
    Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see).
    Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
    NOT SEEN AS CAMERA:
    Open Device Manager: Right click on My Computer and select Properties from the drop down menu. This will open System Properties as shown below. System Properties opens on the General tab so you will need to click on the Hardware tab.
    Remove iPhone USB Driver: called Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. We want to remove this driver by expanding the list of USB drivers which can be done by clicking the + next to Universal Serial Bus controllers. Now right click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver and select Uninstall from the drop down menu. A confirmation will require you confirm you want to remove the iPhone USB driver.Click the OK button on the pop up confirmation window which will remove the driver.
    Reinstall iPhone Driver: Once the driver has been removed you should unplug the iPhone from the USB cable. To reinstall the iPhone USB driver plug it back into the USB cable and the reinstalling of the driver will start automatically. There will be numerous pop up messages displayed near the system clock in the lower right corner of your Windows desktop. Once you see the pop up message confirming that your new device is ready to use everything should be working properly again.
    Verify iPhone Camera Detected: Open My Computer now to verify that the iPhone is displayed and you can click on it as you previously were able to do.

  • In Address Book, how do you create a new group under "On my Mac", not under "iCloud"?

    In Address Book there are groups under "On my Mac" and groups under "iCloud".  When I do File -> "Create new group", the new group always goes under "iCloud".  How can I make a new group to go under "On my Mac".  I also tried dragging the new group from the iCloud area to the "On my Mac" area, but that doesn't do it.  Address Book is version 6.1.3.  Thanks for your help.

    Maybe look in the Preferences > Accounts & disable the iCloud account? That should force it to create a local group then re-enable the iCloud account. I would use the 'File > Export… Addressbook archive' to make a backup before you begin, but it should be fine.
    I'm not sure 10.6.8 supported iCloud natively, so perhaps that is why it is being wierd?

  • Creating a new group in Mail

    Is there an easy way to create a new group in mail (or I guess it's really the Address book) from an email I already sent  to a group of people. I don't want to copy each name one by one if it's not necessary.  Thanks, Jack

    Each email address in the group is put in the To: field automatically when you put them all in the BCC field when composing the email. Nobody sees anything except their own email address.
    I think you are mistaken there, Golden. If the To: field is blank the recipients in the Bcc field will see the To: as undisclosed-recipients - if they get anything at all; some ISPs will reject a message with a blank To:. I would agree with putting the target recipients in the Bcc, but when doing this I usually put my own address in the To: field.

  • Create a new Grouping in IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB

    Hi,
    I need to create a new group in  IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB like below.
    eg:
    +*<OutboundPaymentInstruction>*+
    ---+
    +*<OutboundPayment>*+
    ---+
    +*<ExtendValue>*+
    -- <Extend>+
    ---<OUTPUTVALUE>Concatenated Value - 1</OUTPUTVALUE>+
    +*</Extend>*+
    -- <Extend>+
    ---<OUTPUTVALUE>Concatenated Value - 2</OUTPUTVALUE>+
    +*</Extend>*+
    -- <Extend>+
    ---<OUTPUTVALUE>Concatenated Value - 3</OUTPUTVALUE>+
    +*</Extend>*+
    *</ExtendValue*
    +*<OutboundPayment>*+
    ---+
    +*<ExtendValue>*+
    -- <Extend>+
    ---<OUTPUTVALUE>Concatenated Value - 1</OUTPUTVALUE>+
    +*</Extend>*+
    -- <Extend>+

    +*</Extend>*+
    -- <Extend>+
    ---<OUTPUTVALUE>Concatenated Value - 3</OUTPUTVALUE>+
    +*</Extend>*+
    +*</ExtendValue>*+   
    I have got the Concatenated value inside a loop, but I need to split each of the values into 80 characters and then insert it into <OUTPUTVALUE>+
    So, if I have 240 characters, then I need it like+
    +*<OutboundPayment>*+

  • How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?

    How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?
    It's been pestering me for quite a while now, since I often work with the same elements over and over again. Its frustrating to have to change the name of each layer manually, especially if I'm copying a whole group.
    Is there a setting in Photoshop or perhaps an external script that can help fix this for me?
    Cheers,
    Qiming

    There is no way to defeat this within the program itself. Here's the workaround:
    Duplicate the file (from the Image menu).
    Drag the Group or layers from the Layers list from the duplicate to the image window of the original , while holding down Shift.
    That will make a "copyless" copy and reposition the copyed material in the exact same position it was on the original.

  • Runtime Error when creating a new group

    I'm getting a runtime error when creating a new group on a site collection? 
    Thanks in advance

    The most possible reason is if your site collection is reached the maximum site quota limit,then there is chance to get the run time error while creating a new group.
    In this case,you will get the error while creating/updating the group or while adding the new user/uploading any content.
    Also Ensure the group name is not having any special/unsupported characters.
    Feel free to share the error screenshot/entry in the ULS logs.

    Are you seeing similar permissions ("-rw-------", etc.) on all your corresponding files of the same names (AddressBook.data, etc.)? Are they showing the same owner and group as the top two "." and ".." entries (in my case, jv and user -- will be different for you)?
