If its the only option you can get, it is better then dialup in a few ways. People with remote linux boxes should note that the latency makes it near impossible to do anything in a remote shell since you'll have to wait about 2 seconds for a response to any key you type. Also, if you dish gets out of alignment, you'll have to pay about $150 for them to come out and re-point it. If you get the installer that I got you'll want to stay far far away from this product.
Job Title's shouldn't mean anything. If your job title means that you don't care then you I think there is a serious reality issue here. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think you are over reacting.
Actually, since mozilla is threaded, all the processes run in the same memory space, so its only using the amount of memory that one of the mozilla-bin and one of the java_vm is reporting. However its still quite excessive.
This is a pretty common practice from what I have seen in the industry. I can't be very specific here, but to my knowlege there are a lot more large providers that will sign these contracts. The one thing that really makes me hot is if you have a user who signes up for your service and then abuses it by spamming, some backbone providers will do things like block all smtp connections, and a lot of other stupid stuff without bothering to contact you, even though the account has already been removed. It seems to be that the isp's with the strongest abuse policies are the ones that are guilty of signing these contracts. I'm not saying that this holds true for all of them. To me it looks like they make their abuse policy appear very strong to cover up the fact that they are allowing spam.
For example.. server1.wrongway.de, which is sitting about 100 feet away from me right now (and yes I'm in the US) appears to be located in germany according to bordercontrol. Anyways perhaps they could use the ARIN/RIPE/... databases to figure out where an IP is:-)
Even though it comes from a company that many people here really don't like (don't knock it because of that), any move that would put someone who really knows what they are talking about "tech" wise would be a good thing(tm) in my mind. However it remains to be seen if the US. gov. can do it right.
Two words.. no fsck along with no screaming clients because their server is taking forever to boot because those 200gbs worth of drives takes 4.5 hours to fsck with ext2
From their FAQ page [http://www.cups.org/faq0006.html], I quote "Because we also provide CUPS under a binary distribution license, we will require that all ownership of the code be transferred to Easy Software Products, or that Easy Software Products be granted unlimited distribution rights to the code (possibly via payment of a fee to the contributor.)" That doesn't seem right... you have to give all the rights to YOUR code to them or let them sell it for their gain in binary only form or you don't get to contribute. That doesn't sound in the spirit of a true free software project. I wonder if this will die quickly or we will see a code fork.
If you don't like sendmail as an MTA try exim or postfix or qmail. I really don't care if my mail can be delivered to fidonet. sendmail does have its place, but its not for everyone. Please don't complain about it just USE ANOTHER MTA.
You could try Bandmin, www.bandmin.org. Its still kinda betaish, but it works fine. However it doesn't graph (yet), it only record the data in plain text.
I can maintain a ppp dialup connection for 10 days or more with 2.0.x, but not for more then a few hours with 2.2.x. Yes, I am using the lastest ppp. I also noticed some neat things in my syslog. Anybody else having this problem?

Q12: Is the TIGER data or are the maps that I make with the TIGER Map Service copyrighted?
No, the TIGER data and the maps made from the TIGER Map Service are not copyrighted. The data used comes from the Census Bureau, an agency of the U.S. Government, and is in the public domain. In fact, many of our products are resold. Vendors take the basic product, add value to it (snazzier interface, more data, etc.) and sell it. The many PC street mapping packages available attest to that. We do however have trademarks on a number of our TIGER-related product names.

Wow .. someone else lives in this area and posts on slashdot .. scary .. just saying hi from white haven.
BayTSP.com seems to be on some sort of adsl connection though sonic.net. However they have their own ASN from ARIN (go figure)
Autonomous System Name: BAYTSP
Autonomous System Number: 14478
On a side note they have no active routes using that ASN.
crsnic's whois server is correct.. someone just registered a lot of bogus nameservers starting with microsoft.com
I don't know if slashdot is now using the wml/wap plugin for slashcode, however I'd really like to know if it is now, and the url to it.
