  1. Re:proletariat on Barack Obama Wins the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Last time I checked the Constitution gave the Federal government the authority to blow billions of dollars on war and no authority to spend one red cent on health care (And yes I believe Medicare is unconstitutional too). The quantity of resources spent is an irrelevant metric to determine weather the Constitution permits something.

  3. Re:I still want to know... on F-117A Stealth Fighter Retired · · Score: 1

    No F-117 variant as you described was ever built; just a proposal. Opening the bay doors isn't really a huge problem as it is done on the F-22 now. You simply punch the AMRAAM out of the bay at 40Gs and close the bay quickly. The bigger issue is the F-117 was never designed with a radar. and if you look at the front of one there isn't any room for a multi-mode tactical radar. As a result that would require a major re-design. Also by the time these proposals came out YF-22/23 were already in play and F-117 faceting was already obsolete.

    The comments from one of the chief designers, Allen Brown, are that the Air Force wanted to pull their top pilots for the program. At the time top pilots were more likely to give up their current jobs to jump into an unknown program sight unseen if the aircraft had an F designation rather than A.

  5. Re:I've Got Their Number on Vonage Loses Appeal; Verizon Owed $120 Million · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My point is that you would be porting the number from the donor switch to another provider's class 5 switch not to your personal SIP server. Weather you are connected to your carrier via SIP, H323 or ISDN is irrelevant. This issue is between your current carrier and the previous carrier who has the number ported in. In that respect not all carriers are created equal. I could start up a phone company tomorrow and get a block of numbers from an ILEC to sell telephone service. My agreement with the ILEC may be setup that I will not ask them to port these numbers out and retain the large block contiguous. This makes life easier for the ILEC and cheaper for me to rent them. That is a large difference from a carrier who is a CLEC/ILEC participating in LNP and 911 routing directly. Now if this number was ported into a carrier, as you stated in a follow up, it should certainly be able to be ported back out. However, this depends on if a provider has the agreements setup with the people who are actually porting in the number, which may or may not be the same people who are selling you the end customer service, and the new carrier is within the bounds of LNP requirements including existing in the same rate center and so on. The core point I was trying to make is that you cannot port a number to an Asterisk box or any other PBX for that matter. However, you can port it to a carrier who provides you a SIP subscriber termination or SIP trunk or H323 trunk or ISDN trunk which may go to an Asterisk box or personal PBX. Also bringing up mobile phones is irrelevant as those blocks are handled by mobile number portability and do not apply here.

  6. Re:I've Got Their Number on Vonage Loses Appeal; Verizon Owed $120 Million · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What do you mean when you say they refused to let you port your number to "my own SIP server"? Was your SIP server a Class 5 Softswitch connected to the SS7 network? Have you registered yourself as a CLEC and have the ability to have other carries TCAP query an LNP database to route to your LRN? Do you know how Local Number Portability works in the United States? If this is an Asterisk box that would be funny.

    An OC-192 is 9953.28 Mbit/s buddy. And an OC-768 is 38,486.016 Mbit/s. Also the CRS-1 multi-chassis system can scale to 92 Tbps.

  8. Re:Get it through your thick skulls on VoIP and Home Security Systems Don't Get Along · · Score: 0

    In fact your VoIP over cable uses the exact same infrastructure as your data connection. The only difference is your cable provider probably implements Packet Cable DQOS to provide a QOS service flow over the DOCSIS HFC plant for quality of service. When the Call Agent sets a call up it talks to the CMTS and gives it flow spec data to reserve bandwidth on the upstream for that call. This mechanism is also used to tag priority calls like 911 and informs the CMTS to make bandwidth for these calls even if it has to drop someone else's call.
