the first thing everyone thinks about is how much it'll cost.
Sure, the chances of life existing when conditions are prefect are infinitely small: but the universe is nearly endless. the odds may be stacked against such a planet from being so near to us, but there's nothing preventing it from happening!
the risk vs cost of doing anything shouldn't influence one's decision making. you only live once: maybe for once you do something with your life that DOESN'T look good on paper.
what's the worst thing that can happen? everything changes forever? that's going to happen anyways.
it's pretty common these days for software to go out to get the CDDB information for any tracks that don't contain the full ID3 tags. though I've only seen one or two phone media players that do it without asking you?
Uhhhh.. I don't know about you, but Linux on the desktop has been slowly taking market share all over the world. in some countries, Microsoft won't even licence Windows for trade reasons, REQUIRING the use of OSS.
lemme guess, you're American. If so: there we north Americans go again, assuming the world somehow revolves around us, and whatever we do being the only meaningful thing happening anywhere.
because god forbid something you create could later be used for other peoples commercial benefit, thus leading to them coming back to offer you value (likely in the form of money) for what you had already done, allowing you to continue with the project, move forward, and improve it for the extent of your interest int he project.
However you have to understand that things don't happen overnight. projects like Vyatta provide open source software for routing between open private networks, and closed public networks. in the not too distant future, I expect to see FPGA's become more and more popular, potentially even to the degree that people are able to build some basic ones at home. (likely a WAYS off, but one can dream)

Outlook doesn't get e-mail, outlook displays e-mail. The Mail Transport server "get"s e-mail, and stores it in a database. all outlook does is present users an interface for that database.
I think what you were trying to say was that the phones provide notification of e-mail before outlook does.
that's a little more likely, as the SMALLEST subnet you can be assigned is a/64.
though there's technically nothing from preventing an ISP from assigning it's customers a/96 or even a/112. I expect a lot of the smaller private ISP's here north of the US border will likely fail to understand how IPv6 addressing works, and just get a/64 from their provider (instead of a/48 or a/32) then having to assign/80's or smaller and breaking eui64.
and again, many small ISP's honestly think that customers prefer NAT. (and strangly, many do! people honestly just want nat, because it makes them think "my private network is different from the internet! I'm safe!")
the problem isn't that it's a security issue, it's that admins like to lie about how many hosts they have: and NAT let's them pretend they have lots
apparently it's 'cool' to tell people you have a hundred computers at home.
beyond that, it's people honestly thinking that "unless they have firewalls on all those computers, they're all connected directly to the interwebz!! unprotected and there's nothing you can do without nat!" completely failing to understand how routing works.
How about when you don't pay your private debts; one of your creditors gets you made bankrupt and your stuff gets liquidated? did you not own any of that either?
Ummn.. you just answered your own question there. no, you don't. if you're private debt exceeds your net worth, then you don't own anything: you're still buying it.
as much as people don't like the idea, if you're in debt, than you owe somebody something, and legally they have a right to reclaim that "value" from you in a number of ways.
Not that I'm a big music producer or anything, but this is exactly my distribution model. I make music/video for fun on: an old DSLR, an 8mm video camera, a computer with open source software, a few m-audio products and a few Shure microphones. all said and done, To cover a 4 man band I think the complete setup cost me about $2500, (though it would have been about $5000 had I bought it all new).
to date, I think I've grossed about ~$3000, having done about twenty or so live shows at $150 a night. production quality if a lot better than the bands expect, and for the cost of my internet connection a month, they get a torrent seed to give away a link to for free copies of the production.
in either case, the total production cost for a band to release a private CD of pretty close to record industry quality, would run about $1200 for 500 discs (including the cost of the venue, mastering, discs, burning, printing, and jewel case construction/design/printing.) with additional discs running about $0.65/disc.
even at $5 a disk, that's still a HUGE profit margin. (assuming instruments and any other equipment needed to preform was already paid for. though not often the case, a few shows and a few happy buyers quickly take care of that)
as much sarcasm as I can read in that statement, it's funny how often it's true. in over twenty years, I've yet to respond to a call for a downed copper multi conductor. yet I've been personally contacted regarding at least ten separate fiber cuts.
the major problem with most low cost fiber installations, is that the network is poorly mapped, and is a pain in the ass to map: due to the lack of metal in the conductor. in the extreme case, some companies will purchase RF scanners to detect the presence of material, but most only buy metal detectors. (and a fat lot of good that does!)
Yeah, sorry but the US doesn't count for the rest of the world.
just north of your border, we sell/install/maintain the same equipment, and yet the "big three" national alarm monitoring companies fail at even calling a customer for a downed line.
we've had many a customer that canceled their phone service, (often because they had a cel, and just didn't need the line anymore) and not even a single attempt to contact them after weeks of outage had been made. due to how our local major carrier here trys to sell it's phone service, there's dial tone on the line even if you don't have service: but all calls are redirected to a sales call at the carrier so the panel only complains if the daily/weekly/monthly check in is still enabled and the customer hasn't muted the keypad.
and as far as sip style panels: nothing is approved for installation as fire/medical anywhere else in the world. ever get an alarm system false due to a bad sip packet? the bell ringing at 3:30 AM sure makes you re-think the installation of non-approved hardware.
power over the old infrastructure would cost money. and unless it's being given to them via customers or govennment, it's unlikely to happen. what a sad world we live in, that nobody is willing to take risks to innovate anymore.
alas, try to find a SIP module that will interface with your alarm, and inform it of successful registers: (here's the kicker) that conforms to national testing lab's safety standards.
they have significant investment from telcos to prevent things that aren't "phone company approved" from passing a network test with alarm panels. having been an alarm installer for years, and having worked in legal for a number of local companies, a judge will grant a motion against you if you deviate in any way from what somebody "knows to be safe equipment".

Also... only 8G of data? That's it?
how much data do you expect them to host? it's not like they store multi GB long videos of events or anything.
Apparently they were not smart enough to host using their own hardware with no administrative access for anyone else.
Apparently you don't quite understand how the majority of small sites on the internet work.
the above would make a LOT more sense if it had said:
Apparently they didn't have enough money to host using their own hardware with no administrative access for anyone else.

when I started deploying IPv6 infrastructure, I saw that and laughed out loud.

ten years? don't you love governments: moving at their own speed even while the world races ahead of them.
part of me is surprised that they haven't explicitly prevented agencies from getting too far ahead of the curve.
guess all that ipv6 compatible equipment will finally come in handy!
by "boycotting a store." i expect he means stealing music.
just a technicality.. but there are only 598 integers between 1000 and 1600.
where is your 599'th? 1000 and 1600 are mutually exclusive if you're counting values between them.
unless my math is wrong, 1599-1001=598
