    UL is to test your products for saftey, this is a *comparative* test against several competing products for quality.

    Just a minor point, it makes them a lot of money, the tough and powerful feeling is just a bonus.

    Not all hosts on the internet support sip either, so clearly you can't use sip with a standard internet host?

    Your logic baffles me.

    At least do some basic research before proclaiming someone wrong on the internet.

    Easily? I wouldn't go that far. That ALI is hard to get around, short of aligator clips, or someone's poorly set up PBX.

    I wouldn't assume this is simple wardialing. There are a great many sip servers on the internet now with PSTN access. It could just as easily be someone's list of compromised sip boxen doing this.

    Bonus points due to the fact that UDP is stateless and with the right timing, its possible (but less accurate) to wardial bad faxes spoofed perfectly anonymously assuming you know the credentials are valid.

    And you can get parts off of ebay for "other" gear, for 1/50th the cost. Especially expansion objects like drives and memory. And they wonder why trying to sell proprietary hardware is a losing proposition.

  8. Re:Business vs Open Source on Ex-Sun CEO Warns Oracle of Death By Open Source · · Score: 1

    Consumers may think Apple's ecosystem is a good idea, but a large percentage of the engineer / dev world would not touch that kind of platform with a ten foot pole.

    I use linux because it is *not* locked down, not because its free. Lots of people pay for RedHat, far fewer would pay for RedHat if it could only run on RedHat hardware.

    That would have been the mainframe fail all over again.

    And that's the point, you had to be engineer level to use java effectively, unlike most any other platform in the same space.

    Only if he can demonstrate the business case for expending the effort to do so, and market himself to the companies that need him.

    This is *exactly* the situation, and all the other comments about peering etc are just trying to muddy the issue.

    Because thanks to Republican propoganda, idiots think any government regulation is "communist" and evil, no matter how anti-communist, or not evil it actually is.

    So then why the hell does Spike have ads like that during Die Hard?

    What exactly do you think the postal system is, if not a network of connected nodes that pass information from one node to another using a routing system?

    It wasn't about customer abuse, the FCC finally had enough and told them somewhat back door to either standardize themselves, or they were going to set a standard and force it. It came about much like the way the rating system with movies did.

    The problem I have with those situations, is how easily it could just be a bombing of the Reichstag. There is really no way to ever know with any real certainty without just trusting the government.
