It would be neat to have a deeper look at their budget to see how I can save money and boost performance at work. It's always nice having the newest/fastest systems out there, but it's rarely the reality.
2) Many credit card readers/etc have moved to supporting network connections in place of, or addition to, POTS lines. While I'll give you that it would require an equipment change, the technology is out there. This also goes for medical equipment and security systems.
In addition to supporting data/broadband, security systems can utilize GSM cellular service. Historically, they started with support for A and B side channels of analog cellular service, but that's all supposed to be turned off now.
3) You will be able to utilize the full bandwidth, as telephone networks are unique in that they have DEDICATED pairs running to every single phone line. The only exception to this is T1/E1 service, which is a whole different devil. There, you have multiple lines running across a few pair of copper, something most people don't have in their home. That being said, you would be able to use the full bandwidth. It's one of the things that's so great about DSL over Cable broadband.
4) There is a HUGE price difference between last-mile fiber and a $50 VOIP analog-digital convert box. How the hell do you think Vonage works?
5) Your last statement makes you sound like a crotchety old fuck in the Appalachians or something. Put down your gun, scrape up that 'coon, and make your stew. Get the fuck off the internet with your stupid comments and unjustfied outrage you uneducated fuck.
It's a great project, is the base for your OS of choice, and benefits a *ton* of other projects. OpenSSH is written by the folks over at OpenBSD, so if you want to donate money to OpenSSH, donate to the OpenBSD folks.
There's a 100 meter limit to the Cat-5/6 spec with copper ethernet. You could run glass, but that gets really expensive with all the permits and such to bury said item within the Right-of-Way.
There is an article at engadget about this sort of thing. It requires line-of-site, but I'm sure you could manage that.
If you've tried every antenna and extender on the market today with subpar results, HD Communications is apt to become your new best friend. The outfit has just revealed its HD26200, a "complete outdoor wireless network bridge in the 802.11b/g unlicensed 2.4GHz band that sells for only $318." Said device bridges wireless internet between two locales up to 5 miles apart without requiring a single RF cable, being that both Ubiquiti network radios are powered over Ethernet. If you're looking for the catch, the bridge does require a direct line of sight between the two locations, but the firm is reportedly looking to expand its non-line of sight family by the summer's end.
Why do so many people/companies insist on squeezing every last dime possible out of people. What's wrong with being content with a reasonable profit? I own my own business, have all sorts of toys, and pay my bills. I do so just fine by charging reasonable rates for what I provide. No nickel-and-diming required.
I really despise greedy people. You can't take it with you.
Easy for you to say in the UK. Some of our small states are larger is area than your entire island. It's rather inexpensive to create just a few large, high-watt, transmitters than thousands of them.
This sort of reminds me of the line in Jurassic Park, 'Life will always find a way,' in reference to the scientists creating only female clones so they can't breed. How well did that work out for them?
Passing laws banning something only makes it more difficult for law-abiding citizens. Prohibition didn't work. How's the war on drugs going here in the US? Not only do you fail at your original goal in something like this, your shoot the value of whatever you're trying to stop through the roof!
Not all divisions of UTI are defense and aerospace contractors. UTI has bought a few companies, Otis Elevator and Lenel Systems Int'l, to name a couple, that have little to do with defense and aerospace.
Diebold has a *very* large access-control installation and service division, which could tie very well into the acquisition of Lenel from a couple years ago.
Ok, after some research, people who are having problems appear to be the one's downloading the RC for SP1. Currently, aside from specific beta testers and some members of MSDN, you can only get this update from Bit Torrent. If that is truly the case, my original comment stands. If you're a retard who's going to download the latest SP before it's officially released, you get what you have coming.
Also, my guess is that many of those downloading the torrent version of the service pack are those who are running 'non-authentic' versions of Vista. Yes, I'm implying they're stolen or unregistered copies.
Hey mods. Just because you don't agree with a comment doesn't mean it's flamebait or that I'm a troll. If I was going to troll the forums, why wouldn't I post anonymously?
[A director at FTI Consulting] said:] 'It's going to be used in unintended ways by third parties -- not just the government, but private investigators, marketers, lawyers building a case against you.
OK, so a lawyer is going to try and use it against me. Even after all the crap that gets through the legal system (ahem, OJ), I still have faith that the majority of that which is referenced above, would be construed as unlawfully obtained/entrapment/whatever. Especially at the highest court - there's smarter people than you or I there. Agendas perhaps, but the majority have common sense and understand the constitution better than you or I. Note I said majority. That's key.
Musicians have had to do this for quite some time. They start off making their music, putting up a free MySpace or other page and letting people listen to their music for free. Then, when there's a following, they may start making money off of it. How is this guy really any different, aside from a different medium?
Also, being that he's got a publisher, I wouldn't be surprised if his actions were actionable in a legal sense on their part. In this case it seems to have worked out for the best for all parties involved, but if not, he could be a hurting man.
I'm not saying it's right or makes sense. Rather, I'm lumping this latest motion made by the legal system in with the other stuff that doesn't quite make any sense. Just because you have your wireless card set to automatically join any available wifi networks, doesn't mean it's ok, or legal. That's along the same lines of setting your cruise control to 65mph when the speed limit is 55mph, and arguing when you're pulled over that it's OK, beause the road didn't limit their speed. After all, the road is public space.
On the other hand, I agree with your points, in part. There should be some responsibility on the part of the administrator to secure the network, or at least make an effort to do so.
BIND 9.x and earlier allow this activity by default. This being the case, a new and/or ignorant system administrator may not realize their zone file is available for the taking.
One more example of the law having to protect the stupid, but I can *sorta* see the point of it. This falls in line with stealing wifi from unprotected networks. Just because it's not secured doesn't mean it OK to break in.

linux distros are like their own little event at the special olympics. You kinda feel bad for the participants, but's it's still fun to watch.
wow, 5 fewer hops to me, with about half the latency

bah! -1 retard for me. I didn't RTFA before I posted. I didn't see the part that it was rolling out via Automatic Update.
I suck.
Well, you *did* download the update illegally off Bit Torrent. And it *is* a beta release.
And I'm supposed to feel sorry for you? If I was Microsoft, I'd just let you sit there and wait for a couple weeks.

in YOUR opinion
Permission should not be, and in my case, *is* not implied.
Back to the door on my house - just because I leave it unlocked doesn't mean you can come in. Also, with law, ignorance is not an acceptable defense.
Great improvement to my feeble attempt at an analogy.
Leaving my door unlocked at home doesn't imply anyone off the street can just come on in. That's *not* an OK assumption to make.
