There's always the possibility that someone other than the intended recipient reads the mail, such as a temp, who hasn't been trained against espionage. Most of these attempts fail but occassionally they do work! The more you try the better chance you have of succeeding.
It's not normally Australia lagging behind, but the UK have already done this and produced a report. Particularly of note is the assertion that there needs to be a process put in place to identify who actually owns each number. The telcos cannot be relied upon because they are either lazy, or simply do not want to lose a revenue stream.
Using a standard protocol like SIP allows any kind of data stream to be established. There is already a rapidly growing market for SIP phones that support video using the H.263 protocol.
This is why IPv6 is a much better network (layer 3) protocol for VoIP as it supports mobility natively, allowing TCP and UDP sessions to be maintained when roamning from one network to the next.
802.1x with EAP-TLS or PEAP prevents this kind of "attack", by requiring the client to present a certificate to the switch before it is permitted onto the network. Primarly used in wireless networks, it is now gaining ground in wired networks, especially in academic networks where there is the problem of having network ports accessible to all and sundry.
In a nutshell, the increase in pollution, especially by planes, has caused a recently discovered phenomenon called "global dimming". This is the effect caused when water droplets condense around particles in the air (pollution), causing some of the sun's energy to be reflected back into space. While this has cooled the earth, this has also caused scientists to seriously underestimate the more serious problem of global warming, which is caused by greenhouse gases.
As a European, this competition to get bigger plans in the sky disgusts me. The effect this is having on our climate is huge, and if it doesnt change, it will be devastating.
I can hot plug cd/dvd/hard disk drives happily in the dell notebooks i have. Works even with the poweredge servers, which use laptop-style optical media drives.
You can actually do this with rpms also. For instance, I have recently created new dovecot rpms that you can rebuild with options such as --with mysql, --without ldap (`rpmbuild --rebuild --with mysql --without ldap dovecot*src*.rpm`)
Personally, I would give every tag a unique number, and store the pertinent information/references in a database somewhere. This is great for asset management! Especially in places where items have a tendancy to vanish, ie schools and libraries; just stick some detectors at all the entrances and you'll be able to track the tag's movement. Just make sure you dont put it in an obvious place, where its likely to be seen and removed:o)
Another tool to throw a spanner in the works for spammers is mod_spam_die for Apache. It generates a random page with recursive links and fake addresses, thus causing the spammer's database to fill up with useless addresses. There's an example at chaz6.com/spam_die.
I tried calling you, but the host appears to be down.. Pinging 3ffe:501:8:0:260:97ff:fe40:efab from 2001:630:1c0:1:201:2ff:fea9:9ae0 with 32 bytes of data:

This could be a good thing if you think about it. I find trying to follow a discussion a high-volume mailing list extremely difficult. Why not set up an nntp server instead? Threads are a lot easier to follow. And it is less likely to be used for spamming.

Of course. You *do* use SSL or TLS, right?

In the UK, a billion is equal to a million million, or 1,000,000,000,000. We're getting screwed even worse!

Microsoft seem to think they do.

This is why IPv6 is a much better network (layer 3) protocol for VoIP as it supports mobility natively, allowing TCP and UDP sessions to be maintained when roamning from one network to the next.
In fact, the Internet Society point out that IPv6 is necessary for mobile and wireless internet.
The solution is 802.1x

Hopefully as lambda switching becomes more common, it will be perfectly feasible to run a SAN spreading across 2 or more datacentres.
That is not the problem at all. Did you RTFA?

What we need is a simple and fast encryption method for VoIP.
IPv6 supports encryption natively. Running voice-over-ip using version 6 is another great reason to make the upgrade.

I know it's not a great solution, but I use an ipv6-enabled squid proxy when browsing with mozilla.

Like any tool, whether it is doing right or wrong depends on who is using it. A hammer is a tool to a carpenter, but a weapon to a criminal.
Managed and Layer 3 switches *do* talk IP.
