On a separate rant: why don't we have a cents and degree keys on our modern keyboard? I know that on a typewriter one could hit lower case c, backspace and then hit / to make the cent symbol, and one would often move the platen back a half notch to make the degree symbol with a lower case o. But to be honest, if it wasn't for getting back to my home directory I would hardly ever use the ~ symbol. That keyspace (literal key space) could have been used for the degree symbol.
That's a large field. Is this just the home routers (the old linksys stuff?) I can't see them doing this on enterprise or core routers. The solution is to put it in bridge mode if it's an ADSL router and do your own NAT, etc. with a BSD/Linux box of some type. Run Zeroshell if you want a nice GUI.
Really, this is slashdot. Leave the provider installs and help desks to the punters. If you're reading this there is no reason you should be running what the ILEC initially installed.
Cisco is getting weird. On one side (enterprise) you have to pay through the nose for updates, on the other (home) you can't avoid them.
Before we get our panties all in a bunch, let's wait for some packet sniffs to see what is really going on. Just because the lawyers put it in the EULA, doesn't mean the coders wrote it.
Greg Bear, in his book Quantico, has FBI agents examining a crime scene with 'glasses' days later that was recorded in 3Dish detail before it was cleaned up.
In the 1920s the newest technology was the shortwave radio which allowed worldwide communication. Did teachers suddenly needs radios in every classroom to be teachers?
No, but a good number of schools had a ham club and a small room for them to play radio in. A lot of folks learned electronics that way.
There are other options for DSL. The ILEC has to allow other ISPs to colocate a DSLAM and use their outdoor plant to deliver IP. If you're in the Seattle area a good choice is w-link.net. A true Mom & Pop shop where the person that answers the phone has enable on the routers. It costs me about $50/month for DSL and two static IPv4 addresses.
If you are in another area, use your googlefoo to find someone.
I ran my own mailserver for over a decade, still do. Now it just.forwards to my gmail account. The interface is just too sweet and the spam detection is too good. The new 'importance' filter is just unbelievable. No way in hell I could lego together FOSS to do the same thing, I've tried.
You've been in an office long enough. Go do some field work. Bring up circuits at field offices and stores. I did that and I never want to go back to the office.
Exactly. That's how I got a job at an ISP. I offered to take care of the local modem pool since I was tired of ring-no-answers. They gave me a key to the POP and I would go kick the modems when they misbehaved. About 6 months later they offered me a job in Seattle taking care of all the modems and T1 lines. Four years later I was a Sr. Network Engineer at Amazon. I'm a high school drop out with no further schooling.
I'm a HS dropout too. Learned computer programming at Radio Shack University on the TRS-80, worked fixing radio stations, produced telemarketing devices made out of C64s, got hired by an ISP in '96 since I was taking care of the local modems anyway. 2001 I was a Sr. network engineer at Amazon, Now own my own company providing technical services (what ever interests me.)
People would ask me what they needed to do to get into tech. My reply was, "Be obsessed with it." Don't do it for the money, do it because that's what you have to do.
The shortest wavelength I've seen used with ladder (twin lead) line is lower UHF (think TV antenna.) The velocity of ladder line is mostly used to determine tuning of an antenna, mostly in the HF realm. Coax also has velocity ratings, as does any electrical path.
I'm not sure of using ladder line for high speed data except for your DSL drop to your house from the pole. That is a type of ladder line. I guess you could call twisted pair a special case of ladder line.

The Westel stuff is good. You can dig very deep into the DSL stats. Don't know how long that will last now that Netgear bought them.
Exactly. How did pipe and backslash get on there before degree?

I would think that someone could be able to get these for pennies on the dollar...
It sounds like someone did.
*Verifying* that the actual manufactured item is tamper-proof, accurate, etc. is another.
Just give it to Bev. She'll gladly verify it for you.

I'm holding out for the two man Libertarian side show playing to a crowd of anarchists. That would be fun to watch!

The PNW already has enough Califonicators, thank you very much.
We voted to have the fire at the Cherry Point refinery? I missed that one.

You sir, are a lucky man.
Now I know why I installed another 200 VoIP phones in Samsung's Bellevue, Washington offices.

In short, the reason "real programmers" hate it, is because sooner or later, it ends up being their problem.
In my business we call that a sales opportunity. When your job is to fix things, the more broke they are, the more money you can make.
I thought we were up to IOS 15.0 now.

Wake me when they switch to ladder line instead of fiber, that'll be the weird day.
My DSL is delivered via ladder line, at least the last few feet from the pole to the house.
