Agreed, that's about the ONLY reason I can see for PSTN/ISDN to stay active at this stage. If you could offer battery-backup fibre voice receivers then that would fix this problem.
As it stands, you can't deliver voltage via anything but copper.
I mentioned Balmer because he is the main head of the Hydra that Microsoft is. I'm sorry for laying the blame squarely at the feet of the CEO, in future I'll lay the blame a the feet of the guys working in the call centre. Or maybe the lawyers they buy for a dime a dozen.
As someone who's programmed PSTN, it's really not needed anymore. It's so inefficient it's not funny. Both ISDN & PSTN are so archaic now that there's no logical way to justify keeping these technologies going. It's why I don't understand opposition to the NBN here in Australia.
Because she was still missing at the time. They wanted the scoop. Bunch of sick fucks, deleting messages and giving the parents hope their kid is still alive (it's not the only time they've done this too).
Dash-8s are everywhere here in Australia, I live under the flight path for both Tullamarine & Essendon airports here in Melbourne. Lot more prop traffic than jet traffic.
Anything from small Pipers/Cessnas through to DC-3s and other larger prop planes go over all day.
Add to this that, technically a turbofan (jet) engine is essentially an inside out turboprop with a higher blade density... well, the bullshit about not seeing aircraft with propellers is just someone wanting to look smart on/.
If you actually read the full article, or even dug a bit deeper and read some of the other articles that have been going around the net, you'd realise that it's all aircraft.
Sorry, but phones run on 50v and can run for up to a week from battery & generators. The power grid can go down and you won't notice it. I remember this after the Newcastle, NSW, Australia earthquake. We lost power and water, but the phones ran for the 2 days we had no power/water.
Plus, I worked for Telstra and did some stuff in the exchanges in Newcastle. ALL of them have at least 100 batteries and dual generators. The ONLY exchanges that don't have dual generators are little comms huts they have in bumfuck nowhere, but they have at least 1 diesel generator and a bunch of battery backup.
And by the look of it, the summary is wrong. According to the forum, it's hinted that it's not a Minuteman III ICBM but a Waverider scramjet cruise missile.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Hawaii isn't where the MM III tests are generally launched from - I was under the impression it was from Guam.

There's a John Deere game? SWEET!
I think the writer got arrested for using them!
still quite strong. yet more proof that MAFIAA can't win!
I don't think I'll be grabbing that torrent...
When you go with SAP.

It doesn't work, that's the problem. If it rains, the joins cause problems, if it's too dry after rain it causes problems.
There's approx 10 different problems you can have with copper. With fibre, there's 1, cut cable.
Fibre kicks the shit out of ALL of the methods you've described.

I'd say more News of the World has won.

Microsoft just put a challenge up to every botnet maker on the planet.
Thanks Balmer.
for my ugg boots.
They smell pretty bad and it grosses the fiancee out.
now I have to hide this from the fiancee!

This is your corporate account. How does this happen?

Has nothing to do with that. Simple disclaimers fix that. They are doing it to profit off what they don't own.
Oh well, my account is now deleted, not my problem anymore.

I hate when an obviously trolly statement is actually the 100% truth.
I think I'll go back to sticking my head in the sand, a much happier place there.
When we secure servers with fear and obscurity. Looks like no one is safe, they all have less than ideal set ups.

Works a charm doesn't it?
Awesome. I like this kind of punishment.
That's the bigger problem being shown - no one wants to fix this bullshit IP/Patent Troll driven society.
