Having been a FreeBSD user for many years it took me a bit of google'n to figure out the Linux way of installing things, and that was on Ubuntu. From where I was, ports rocked, and to find that it wasn't there in Linux took a bit for my head to get use to. Then I remembered: FreeBSD is an OS and Linux is just a kernel.
Your dish is not aimed right if you get a marginal signal in bad weather (unless it's covered in snow.) If you are in the US Midwest you are in the prime signal spot for the systems (Dish and DirecTV.) Call for service (Lie to them and say there is no signal at all. The tech will understand.)
I had a pent400 on 100Mb/s pipe that someone found my video collection on. That little box pumped out 45Mb/s for a day before I checked the graphs. It was also my mail box that I ran pine on and I didn't even notice the load. FTP is a simple protocol for the CPU and if you're just trucking out big files, the box and do it all day.
Good story! There is one building in Seattle that if it falls down, there will be very little 'net or telco for most of three states. There is a secondary large data center a few blocks away, but they are so interconnected that no-one knows all the failure modes if one of them goes bye-bye. I know that if one of them goes down, then at least the State of Alaska is SOL for 'net.
All of which you could do with a regular page of links that you have 'reviewed.' Sure, if you have your own TLD then you could do all that but you would still have to monitor (robot) those sites to insure that they conform to your AUP. If you did have to pull a domain for an AUP violation then you may have to lawyer-up, even if you are in the right.
and Public Service radio is going to move to 700MHz, where they already took some of the UHF TV spectrum away. VHF and UHF PS radio is more worried about the narrowbanding directive right now, which will give them double the spectrum.
If those clothes are a uniform, yes. If the vehicle that you use is just for work (i.e.; a service van), it should be supplied. If the residence is not your primary home and you are working out-of-town, then there should be a per diem. My point is that if the 'net access is solely for work, then yes, it should be paid for. Just like if you needed a pager for monitoring a network, I would expect the employer to pay for it. If your job requires that you have a piece of equipment or a service to perform it (even on-call), then it should be supplied or compensated for.
If you are wearing street clothes that you would be normally wearing, then you would be expected to pay for them (just as your underwear isn't covered as part of the uniform.) If you only work a set shift at one location, you would then be responsible for transportation, although many employers will supply transit vouchers. If you need tools to perform your job, then the employer should supply them.
If you travel for off-hours on-call work (i.e.; run back to the NOC to kick a box) you should keep track of your mileage and you should be reimbursed for the cost.
A lot of this is actually covered by (US) state labor laws.

I was in my 40s before I was sent anywhere 'exotic', like Soldotna Alaska, in the winter. Be careful of what you wish for.

Don't make me pull out my Commodore 8250 dual floppy with GPIB interface! Man, back in those days I was a King, I tell you, A Freaking KING!

The next big fight will be over fresh water.
I think it was Heinlein that said something like: You only truly own that which you can carry in both arms at a dead run.
What news is this post actually trying to tell us?
They didn't get the money sent to them so they are calling the others bad names and getting all pissy about it.
And this lefty is still your friend because you actually THINK about things and bring intelligent discussion to the forum.
Thank you.

Unless you're hitting force one winds, then your dish shouldn't be swinging in the wind. If it is, it wasn't installed right.

Agree. I could do 1k hits on an old pent90 and still have time for mail, dns, and ftp services. In fact, I think that's how we did it back in the day.

Because a lot of that depends on reverse DNS. And you can put anything you want for a reverse.
That's it. I'm changing my laptop MAC to that of a 300lb Cisco GSR 12000 router!
First post to say it's NOT dead!
My old uniden 2.4GHz system will allow the ringtone to be chosen if the phone number is in it's phonebook.
The same thing can be achieved by calling the operator...
What operator? That is so 1980s. I haven't been able to get a RBOC or ILEC operator for years!

Back almost three decades ago I spent time cutting chickens for KFC. Worst Job Ever.

That's a service that is critical to your employer then. Have them pay for it.
Let me guess, Alinco DJ-X series or was it the DJ-C series HT. Would've been my choice.
