Ok, So I Called a colo place I have a server for because they have a very open door policy that if you can find them better deals for bandwidth they are willing to go for it. SO i saw this aritcal and said "Hey this would rock. It will beat the hell out of the 3 T1's they have now at a very reduced cost." So I called my guy and he talked to them. Here is the deal.
"I spoke to a guy named Todd Kuehn a Cogent. He was real informative, but kind of arrogant (I could tell that we are not "big enough" of a customer). I didn't ask for his phone number, but his e-mail is tkuehn@cogentco.com . Here's the scoop on Cogent: It's available in a few big markets in the North East like Boston. Will be available here in 3rd quarter of 2001 . . . but not for everyone. Their target client is multi tenant buildings - big buildings. The reason?
It costs the company $80,000 to hook up their network to a building. So he said . . . there is a minimum committment of 1GB/sec for $10,000/mo per building (so they break even by the 8th month and profit in month 9 and so forth). So they need a minimum committment of 10 customers in a single
building to go in and install the fiber. Committ to a Gigabit/sec = 1,000 mbs/sec for $10,000 per month."
Now, I don't know about you but the joe average user or even the small to mid size company cant aford that kind of bill. But it is still a good deal I guess.
Ummm, are you aware that the Second Amendment that you are quoting is infact wrong and has been rewrite 3 times. I am not sure on the exact dates but starting back in the 60's the goverment published it with a added comma. Then two more times. This in effect has changed the meaning of it. I am not a english teacher or even a good speller but I know what a few commas can do to a statement or in this case the Second Amendmen. Maybe you would think about one thing. You say "...guns ARE evil." Well mister its not guns that are the problem or evil its the thugs on the streets that are using stolen guns that are evil. So by your logic cars are evil because they kill people. And Rock-N-Roll is evil because kids kill themselves while listening too it. Hell, everyone knows it's evil. Computers are evil because we all know they are satan boxes. And because places/. creat the/. effect and that hurts all of us poor souls who cant aford too host on anything more than a T1. Hmm, lets see. I seem to have gotten off topic. Ahhh too hell with it. I think you your mommy just didnt hug you enough while you were growing up. I am out. My job at the gun store comes early in the AM.
I work at a hospital and the Doctors use this type of software doing voice to TXT for Charts and what not. The ER Doctors just put on a headset and a microphone and start talking. It cuts way down on the background noise problem. The same thing could be used anywere. Car, The bus, train, Or Office, etc
Hey just wanted to point one thing out too all of you. About hotmail. They dont bill themselves as being private. Take their header info. They stamp all out going emails your your IP. Just a thought. Regards.
I would have to disagree with you in about Anonymity. The fact is you can make yourself anonymous if you want too. Its a very simple matter. That wont cost you a cent. The fact is most people dont take the time to look into it. Now, Given to make a true "Avatar" is hard but you can hide yourself well enough that the time and effort for someone to find you would be very hard indeed. I would like to point you all to a very good site were this is talked about in great detail. http://208.233.94.170/fravia/fravia.org/noanon.htm This part of Fravia's web site deal wholely with anon on the net. How and why one should do it. There are alot of good reads here. ANd If you fall in love with this page like I have you may learn more than you ever wanted too about hte subject and many others. Warm regards.
