There is nothing that you can do in regards to BellSouth if they are your incumbant exchange but to move your offices to someplace where the incumbant lec is somebody else. Personally, I would not recommend sprint, The best LECs are the small privately owned ones. The company we got our current T1 line from is a small ILEC in the southern part of the state. The reason we chose them is because they were beefing up their data systems, and they will not be going out of business for a long while with the amount of money they are making with phone services.
Its been a while since I played with kerberos, but if memory serves, atleast a few years back, i think each use, under the terms of the lisence, had to be registered with the MIT Athena Project. Maybe MIT had a little talk with microsoft and microsoft got scared. Well, we can atleast dream that.:)
Why are we allowing ICANN to be legit anyway? They were created by a currupt administration, who only wanted to control, thus ICANN, a offspring of a currupt administration, only wants to control. Why don't we just call our senators and repersentives, and get the political process moving to iradicate ICANN.
Yup, this will wipe out DSL providers, but what about CLECs? I sure like my local CLECs.... I mean.... bellsouth wouldnt know what sdsl is if it bit them in the ass. They don't want to do cheap business internet... they only want to provide the most costly service... and the crappiest response time... sure... lock the end of my t1 loop up in a box... and if the mux dies... take six hours to come reset my damn card so I can get my internet back up.
Several observations by myself 1. They only know what ADSL is... they their reps dont even know what the A stands for. They tend to think the S in sdsl stands for static. 2. They took five and a half hours once to get my t1 loop back up after their mux died a horibble death. They claim that they didnt know about it untill like an hour and a half before they showd up, but i was on the phone to my CLEC with in 10 minutes of my loop going down, and they put me on hold while they called bell south. 3. They only want money, not to provide service. They have become like the cable company. Sprint local services is esp. bad at this, they just expect to sit around and collect cash, and not raise a finger whenever soemthing breaks on their network. 4. They make it hard for anybody to compeate, and they like to get rid of "old" "useless services" that are still used, and are very useful. Bell south in a near bye town is refusing to put more alarm circuits in (a line thats easy to turn into a poor man's t1 or sdsl line, and instead telling people that their circuit will be cut off unless they replace it with some expensive digital alarm circuit.
Its a violation of the copyright holders copyright, so the only action could be civil action taken by the copyright holder. Its not illegal till you try to make a profit off it.
how about using weather balloons to lift a launch platform up to an extreamly high alt... fire a liquid fuel... or if we want to be fancy... an impulse drive engine..... and kick the bird into orbit....
So is this the things to come.... satellite hacking.... in all honesty, why dont we as a community put a bird up ourselves?
It wouldn't be tooo hard.... i mean... people have cheaply put birds up before.... we could use evil technology like 802.11 and highly directional antennas..... Use IPSec on the link....
*thinks this is evil, but a good idea.. so... who wants to help *
The one clear problem is that the fcc power transmission limits.... but we could get around that somehow...
Not just those double wide things anymore... One of my father's good friends built a japanesse style home out of prefab modules. It just so happens to be in the extreamly rural part of north carolina.... but he does have cable internet, so thats a plus.
Hey Get a login.... So you can Know I replied. Anyway, I suffer a bit where I work now, but when I was searning when I lost my last job, Nobody would hire me because of my age, even though they admitted that I was well qualified, they still would not hire me. I almost had an CIO position at a private college, but did not get it because they wanted somebody with more phone systems experence. Oh well. Know your nitch, and exploit it.
Lets face it, Times are hard everywhere.

Times are esp. hard because all these companies, like tech skills, new horizens, etc. keep advertising that you could be making 65k with your MCSE! Everybody making less thinks, why not go get my mcse, and make more money. WRONG!
Now, I know that is not entirly true. I know as a 18 year old, your not going to be making 65k a year even if you have nearly two years experence. I'm nearly 19, Have my MCSE, CCNA, Hell of a lot of experence. It took me two months to find a job after I was forced to leave my previous job. Two Months, I know it does not seem like much, but the problem I had was the age factor. I would get somebody calling every couple days wanting to possibly hire me. But when they found out my age, I would get the "Well keep trying, Good luck" line, and that would be it. The job I have now, I have luckly due to the fact one of my mom's very good friends is a part owner at a small IT firm thats been around since 94/95. I still get emails from my monster.com listing, but rarly replies.
One small tip, The work is out there. The issue is the cost, location, and quality. Companies don't see one person as being worth what they think they should pay, so thats why small consultation firms are pulling in lots of cash.
Also, I see people who have their BS in CS, and maybe one MCP cert, thinking they could be making 48-65k a year with no experence. I work with one. I may be going to college working on getting a BS in CS, but Being that it's a libiral arts college, I think I may just drop out of the local university, and enroll in a distance learning program from some private school, I can just about afford it.
Hey, I live in North Carolina, and I'm still managing to just about double what I make every year...... I'm only 18, and making more money then anybody I know my age.
I have several customers on business cable modem service. I have yet to see any of their ip addys change since Road runner around here seperated business and residential users. Incidently, my ip on my earthlink cable via time warner has yet to change, and its been three months since I had it installed. I got the same ip with my laptop, and with my desktop after cycling the cable modem power, so it seems my ip is also semi-static.
I pay ~50 USD a month for 2 mbit down, 1.5 mbit up, but time warner has their network capped at 200k, so thats about all I get. Where I work, we used to pay 340 a month for 768k SDSL w/ 64 ip addys.
The BSA has the pratice of getting an injunction against you before they go knocking at your door. With that, they get to have the cops there, and the cops are forced to be on their side.
Engineering firms that do Human-Machine Interfaces do tons of reverse engineering.... If the goverment, the bsa, and other groups were to keep egineering firms from reverse engineering stuff... there would be no advacnes in plant control technology, plus in order to improve the systems, everything would have to get replaced, from the programable logic controler in some cases, to the network wireing, and up. Hell, some sapp wouldnt have his nice ORDT software if it wasen't for some acts of reverse engineering.
In response to your sig, "semper ubi sub ubi", my latin teacher in high school harped on that all the time... i think her doughter never wore them though....
Yes, I know this has nothing to do with just about anything...
A t1 is not broadband, and here is why. A t1 is in most cases, primarly intended, or atleast was intended to mostly carry phone calls between COs and Businesses. So the FCC decided that T1 lines had to be up 90% of the time, or the ilec gets fined. That is why a t1 line so expensive, because they HAVE to keep it up. Phone companies start firing people when a t1 loop goes down. With a broadband user, it dosent really matter if the line is down for a few days, the phone company is just going to assign it a repair ticket, and process the next ticket, but if a t1 goes down, they are normally at your door within an hour ready to fix it. I had a phone line that was down for two weeks once... My father worked his way up Sprint's Corperate Tree to the compaints office of the President of sprint. The technican who showed up about an hour latter had the fear of god in him. Plus, the complaint office called my dad back on the other line, and told him that the technican, dave i think, would be there in 15 minutes to fix it. When you pay for a t1, you pay for uptime, you don't pay for bandwidth, but with broadband, all you pay for is bandwidth.

Even if he had a maybe 50 thousand in his 401k, he would have used it all. That area is expensive.
they claim that an disgruntled former coworker snitched to them, and most of the time, judges say ok, and give them the warrent.

I don't think that woudl cut it, they would most likely start taking your computer apart at that point.
We had a scsi drive that died due to it's circuit board going south.....
I don't think I have ever seen DRAM fail, but I sure have seen my share of both ide and scsi drives die.
They are most likely doing it so they can start charging for patches sooner than next year for nt4.
