No doubt that when the femtocell article was posted, someone was like "Hey, i can do that on a Verizon MiFI because it not only does it use the same technology, but allows me to get far more useful data than anyone would be doing over a phone"
Does this mean that Verizon should stop promoting the MiFi as a small business tool? Aren't small businesses without a clue the only ones purchasing the MiFi anyway? No clue = not security conscious

because cars are not solid - they are mostly stamped metal. Engine blocks and drivetrain components that are normally solid pieces would benefit the most. I can already see a new breed of Indy Car coming out of this. Aircraft engines, etc.

All that funding for so many years just to realize it was all a waste. How about we sell SETI to fund a real space program? Like one to bring back some stupid moon rocks?

I hope Michael Arrington and Chandra Rathakrishnan will overcome there differences, and release their beast for $200 like they said they would, else all their greed will go unrewarded. And for everyone that pre-ordered, GOOD LUCK!
Peer 2 Peer traffic gets by this obstacle for the insta-solution.
But for the long term, if somecorp created a not-for-profit internet protected under the same laws as embassy or chancery, to stop the flow of data only if both countries are in agreement. Then that would stop say, a corporation! from stopping the flow of data as opposed to a government - and if say, China! wanted to stop the flow of data from the US to China or vice-versa, then they would need to come to an agreement, else there would be an international incident.
I don't know, the logic is present - but fitting it into actuality is not one of my strong points.
If you are an Indie musician, and someone levies a $400k judgement against you, then you say "hey man, i'm a damn hippie" and VOILA! the Indie musician is judgement-proof because he doesn't have the money in the first place because said musician doesn't really know the game.
On the other hand, if you are a business, a well informed business, a business whose only duty is to know every detail of the law and you get beat at your own game, and your pockets are deep from exploiting said law, well then guess what - you pay because you are a game player.
To be fair, the same happens between people with a few bucks in a casino, vs some rich entrepreneur laying down loads of cash. Heck, the same happens between a newbie and a veteran Street Fighter 4 player - if you have a reputation, and you stake it on something, and the other person wins - well then, shame on you. If any wagers were made, well then the veteran better pay up, else the newbie has nothing to lose, which is why veterans don't pick fights with newbies.
Which is why corporations shouldn't pick fights with individuals unless the individuals are actively causing the corporation harm - one must choose their battles.
I even have a fancy name to go with my job description, a Networked Systems Architect. Now i'm just a regular guy responsible for pulling on the purse strings of a few dozen good sized customers that need IT solutions, but i've noticed that other than a pay site called experts-exchange, there is no unified way for IT to communicate with developers, it's all "pay this" and "support contract" that. What i don't get is that if "IT" is going to implement "Developer" solution, shouldn't there be an open bridge of communication between "IT" and "Developer" for all computerized systems? Like a Facebook meets Wikipedia, top half is the solution i searched for, bottom half is are for communication, we all mod each other up or down, but the information is there.
Because ultimately nobody cares how it works, but the guys in charge of making things work could make it easier on themselves.
Considering all that is happened, i was trying to figure out how to get an IPTV box for free internet television out for the last 4 years, but i kept running into this same discussion. I guess the situation has finally come to a head.
500 USD - Is that a $300 linux distribution? Does anyone have information on this?
My dual core Acer REVO with 2GB and 320GB HD with wireless keyboard and mouse - not to mention Nvidia ION graphics was $300 brand new on ebay, and i hooked it to my 52" TV for free with the HDMI out. It came with FreeDOS, which is just some non-gui linux, but throw on Ubuntu / Vista / and OSX for the $200 i saved.

Tell me more about this dynamic ftrace. Are there any "how-to" basic scripts to fire off a SNMP trap when ftrace picks up something of importance? It's nice for debugging, but more importantly to tie this into some network monitoring system like Nagios to be used for clustering and high availability systems. This could easily be integrated to prevent runaway virtual machines, and actually see whats robbing a system of CPU cycles - perfect for performance tuning a VM stack.
Instead of crying over aforementioned posts, I ask, where would one find "the right person" because as I see it, there are no "these are the thousands of steps needed to become an ISP" or "Collection of tools and resources every ISP should have" location on the internet. I know that I am being over generalized, but I don't see you saying "I'm the right guy but busy at the moment, talk to these guys" or "here is some information to help you achieve what you want" and if I had been very specific in my request, it would have never been posted front page/. in the first place, and I wouldn't get the chance to be flamed by you, and I would have never had the opportunity to turn the situation around and ask for your help, would I?
So for the sake of moving forward, lets pretend that I really didn't need a Powerful Linux ISP Router - instead I want to build a cost effective Wireless ISP that can deliver Multicast IPTV, Video on Demand, VoIP, and data (10Mbit down/1Mbit up), and still be able to feed and shelter myself. As it grows, I'll be able to pay better people to engineer this system in place of me, but me is all i've got.
Right now, I have Ubiquiti AirMAX equipment with Mikrotik Routerboards on a few towers that I own, and about 250 customers that get free access while I figure out how to do this - they just foot the bill for the equipment and installation. I've got AirControl monitoring my last mile equipment, and The Dude monitoring my network. All of this is out of my own pocket. I need an AAA system, and something other than this stupid Cisco 1811 ISR connected to FIOS. I use all kinds of tools. People want email, I give em Zimbra. People want Storage space, I give em OpenFiler. I'm struggling with FreeIPA at the moment to authenticate everything together, and you know what? It's a learning experience.
If you aren't too busy playing WOW or just pulling on your own taffy, do you think you could help me out? Everything helps, including your condescending attitude towards my efforts at trying to make my world just a little bit better place to live in. If nothing else, you've fueled the flames that drive me to succeed.
Do you know of Cisco gear that can handle full tables? prices? When I solve my routing issues i'll peel away the old private CPE addresses and get a block of public IP addresses and an AS number to go with a few DS3 connections. Then i'll be a real boy!
Tons of multicast video data will eat up 1/4 to half of my last mile bandwidth, followed by voip and data.
I'm trying to balance Access point range to around 1/2 mile without dropping bandwidth, so Ubiquiti AirMAX equipment seems to work in trial runs.
i don't want to drop below 100Mbit lan speeds, rates are fixed so if a customer can't connect they won't kill all the bandwidth for everyone else.
Client's actual throughput will be about 10Mbit down / 2Mbit up + about 45Mbit of Multicast video overhead - 100 clients will share about 50Mbit of bandwidth, if it scales out ok then 300 clients will share 50Mbit

THIS particular system is protected by the law - the college has no case against Dehelean
Don't believe me? Look at http://www.bsa.org/
the difference is that the college agreed to the terms offered to them by the Network Administration member labels, and received compensation.
I can see it now...
Dehelean - "I just wanted the students to be protected, and i provided a valuable service"
RIAA - "Well you were blatantly extorting the students, and do not own the product in question"
Dehelean - "We'll you don't own the product in question either"

Dehelean - "And I am directly responsible for the security of my primary source of income - students"

I believe you may be onto something that would suit my needs for this Wireless ISP perfectly.
Do you know of any commodity TCAM hardware?
Maybe i can run RTLinuxFree on it?
http://www.rtlinuxfree.com/
and then i could put XORP on top of it
http://www.xorp.org/
or... i answered my own question...
intel xscale cpus and powerpc based routing platforms (most single board computers) are all i really need.
http://gateworks.com/
http://routerboard.com/
http://www.adiengineering.com/
RB1000 from Mikrotik supports 400,000 pps and 4 gigabit ports for $700
Take that Cisco
Thanks!
I have not contacted Mikrotik engineers with my problem, sometime things like that slip my mind.
I need Mikrotik's "The Dude" and Ubiquiti's "AirControl" to work together.
Tons of multicast video data will eat up 1/4 to half of my last mile bandwidth, followed by voip and data.

not DOCSIS - i was just making a point
i meant i need some sort of easy way to terminate, load balance, QoS, and manage all of my wireless clients.
XORP looks awesome - maybe putting it on a Nvidia Tesla box will help with routing speed?
Anything that could steer me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
