That means that the phone will keep a VoIP session opened with the cell phone providers switch. The cell phone provider can continue to bill you insane per minute rates while you ride on someone elses network. Sounds like a great deal for the cell phone providers. As a VoIP provider I wonder if I can get a cell phone to connect back to me so I don't have to build network either.
Aerial fiber is roughly $50k/mile to install. That is with pole attachments, pole replacement, fiber and splicing. You can normally do it for $30k/mile when things go well.
Underground fiber is quite a bit more *if* you need to trench your own conduit. Most likely you can lease interduct inside existing conduit, you pay roughly $500/mile/YEAR to lease the interduct then you pull the fiber through that.
$500,000 to 1/4 mile of fiber is insane, you must not be looking very hard.
I had a PowerBook G4 1Ghz, 1Gig RAM (all graphics set to lowest setting) and would get insane lag in Ironforge around the AH. I couldn't run my epic horse through that area without ending up in the ditch. I now have a MacBookPro, 2.0 Ghz, 2 Gigs RAM and can run around in IF with 0, none, NADA lag and 30-35 FPS. I have all options turned on and the highest resolution the laptop screen can handle. Crusing around WSG is fun as I don't get lagged to death
The MacBookPro is insanely fast. I'm not a big fan of the magnetic power cord, it seems to fall out too often with just a switch in body position. It is quite a bit hotter on my lap and I have had some random crashes while in WoW. Complete computer lock up, power down, restart to get it working again. (CTRL-ALT+Power)
I haven't gone into MC yet but will hopefully go tonight, we are killing domo so that should be some tasty lag.
All in all, I'm extremely happy with my MacBookPro
In the windows scenario you have a real.JPG image which contains code insdie of it that crashes the Windows JPG image library. The code in the image is then executed. In essence in windows a.JPG image file can become an executable running as user admin. This executable now has full access over your computer. This image can be embedded in an e-mail/web page and will execute, launch and own your machine with having you do anything but go to a website or read your e-mail
In the Mac scenario you have an executable which is made to look like an image because its icon was changed. The computer itself knows that it isn't an image so it doesn't try to load it automatically from e-mail or web. This 'virus' is designed to trick the user. The user needs to double click and run the executable. It will then try to write into a protected directory and the OS will prompt the user for the admin password. If the user is dumb enough to click on a executable *and* enter the admin password there really isn't much else you can do. The executable never actually crashes any part of the OS to gain control of the OS and do something that the user doesn't authorize.
The PSAP information (911 Tandem switch) is all located in the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG). All the VoIP providers need to do is buy a subscription to the LERG from Telcordia and they will have all the information they need. The problem is, that in order to connect to the PSAP you need to be a CLEC with an interconnect Agreement with the RBOC (Verizon, SBC) for the LATA. You also need to build dedicated, diverse trunks into the PSAP switch. Since most VoIP providers are virtual phone companies, they don't have facilities in the LATA where their customers are and therefore they can't build trunks into the PSAP.
Connecting to the PSAP is the easy part, finding out the address of one of my DSL customers that I give a dynamic IP address to is the hard part. I predict a lot of police/fire showing up at my NOC because that is the address on record for the IP.
We have a Barracuda 300, process e-mail for about 8k unique addresses. I *love* the Barracuda, it was the best money I spent last year. My customers also love the Barracuda. It is a 'set it and forget it' device (sorry RonCo) and currently processes about 500k messages/day, 95% of them are blocked, 3% are tagged as spam and 2% get delivered. We used to run 4 mail servers with linux/qmail/SpamAssassin which would melt when the SPAM firehose was aimed at them. We now have a Barracuda and a single linux/qmail server with a load of 0.1 delivering mail to MailDir. The Barracuda handles the load perfectly and feeds mail at a nice even pace to my server (10-15 messages at a time).
To install my Network cable because it all has to be properly installed/grounded etc. now that it is carrying electricity?
The electrical union must LOVE PoE they have been trying to get state electrical code written to include low voltage wiring for years, maybe PoE will be enough to get it changed:/

My Sprint DS-3 was down for 3 hours yesterday because Sprint had a router crash.
My Verio DS-3 (now Cogent ???) runs on Juniper and has been rock solid for over a year.
Wasn't the whole above.net black hole this summer caused by a Cisco crash while implementing MPLS in their core?
Hrmm. maybe I should look at Juniper more closely when I need to replace my aging 7500s
The US needs to immediately respond to this by building our own power plants. The economy of today and tomorrow will be driven by energy. The country that can produce the most energy for the lowest cost will have the strongest economy. This is a smart move for the Chinese, lets hope the US government and the liberal anti-nuke folk get out of the way allow PBRs to be built in the US.
Or, the virus could read the registry and use the smtp server defined in Outlook.
I'm on comcast and I send mail using SMTP_AUTH through port 25 on my work server. I haven't been blocked yet. When I am I'll just switch to SMTP_AUTH over TLS/SMTP which is port 465. What would stop a virus from reading the registry to find the SMTP user/pass and port settings. The virus would then send mail as an authenticated user.
The network cannot protect itself against viruses with port filtering. Viruses on the Internet are the same as in biology they will adapt and work around any blocks you put into place.
The wonderful thing about the Internet is that so long as bandwidth is essentially free you'll always be able to find a free replacement for a pay for service.
The terrible thing about the Internet is that is companies can't make money from value added services they will need to charge more for bandwidth....
Does it really need to emulate the win32s stuff. What would the performance be if the win32s stuff ran native on PPC and just ran an x86 emulator for the nonWINE.dlls and application code. All of the screen & IO API could be PPC native. The endian thunking layer may munge everything and destroy the speed though....
Can't they just put a webcam and an Ethernet run on the robotic arm? Who cares if it gets wiped out from space radiation on ever flight. You can replace them for the cost of one of those shuttle tiles. Maybe add a telescoping extension so you can look under the wing, Low end Sony camera have thermal and low light imaging. I could whip it all together for a couple hundred buck and some duct tape.
A RPG does have a computer in it. Neither does an AK-47, AK-74 or a friggen rock for that matter. So long as the U.S. has people in this world intent on killing us they will find a way. Gasoline, a match and a coke bottle does a pretty good job.
Maybe instead of spending money on the 'eBomb' we can figure out how to not piss off the rest of the world!
Video on demand is provided from a video server that is placed very close to your broadband connection. Probably in the CO that is serving your DSL. The content provider pushes 1 copy to the server which expands it to all of the local customers. The backbone bandwidth requirements for that type of service are small. Kazaa, Napster and the ilk eat up bandwidth all the way through the backbone which is expensive. P2P also doesn't come close to Video on Demand and is the wrong way of doing it anyway. Content needs to be pushed to the edge of the Internet. P2P currently is at the edge but it is the edge furthest away from you:/
Why bother playing Quake at 300fps when your monitor refresh rate is only 85Hz. The monitor is only giving you 85FPS who cares what the Video card is generating.
But you pay for your phone service. If the telephone company gave you free phone service but you had to use their phone. They would have the right to lock out any phone which is not theirs. MS is paying for the network and they have the right to block anyone they choose. If you don't like it go build your own IM netwrk (Jabber)
The good old United States of America has WMD than any other country in the world. We have Nukes/Bio/Chem weapons that would make Saddams (if he actually has them) look like pea shooters. We have bunkers upon bunkers of highly unstable chemical weapons just sitting in South Dakota. They are too dangerous to move, to dangerous to keep in place.
Could this be used for the next rocket fuel? Controlled explosion of high density hafnium-178m2. The research doesn't necessarily have to create the next bomb. Could this be the way we reach Mars?

that spins off a virtual PC with a fake security chip in it to fool the OS into thinking it is running on 'blessed' Apple hardware

Hrm. let me open up my Cisco price book. list price (nobody pays list price) on the following:
CRS-1 Series 16 port OC48 card is $790,000
CRS-1 Series 4 port OC192 (10gbps) card is 1,030,000
CRS-1 16 slot, single chass is $450,000
The fan tray on the thing is $20,000!!!!! and you need the fan controller for another $13,000!!!
I think it is safe to say it would cost more than your house & car
