What? You're a geek and don't have a ham raido in the car? I would guess that with that type of commute you live in a major metro area. Then there would be many ham repeaters connected all around the world via VoIP.
Get your ham ticket, only 35 questions and no morse code needed to start.
Repeatedly taps the hook if the phone dies. "Hello!?" *tap* *tap* *tap* as if that will magically restore the line.
Well, back in the old day it would cause the light to flash on the operator jack field. It was used to notify the operator that you wished her (yeah, back then it was almost always her*) to come on line. Why do you think they call that action "flash" even in this day?
* A joke from when male operators were rare was a kid calling the operator and not convinced the male operator was real, asked for his wife.
The internet has no government, no constitution, no laws, no

innocence, and don't talk about what should be done. Instead,
talk about what is being done and what will be done by the
amorphous unreachable undefinable blob called "the internet

What does getting your IP from a cable company have to do with actually watching the programming? Get the basic package with IP and don't hook a TV up to it if that's the best speed/price deal you can get in your area.
I've also have a few antennas on my house (ham radio) but I don't hook them up to a TV to watch CBS/NBC/ABC/PBS/etc.
Er, Speakeasy DSL. And baseball is almost better on AM radio anyway. Safeco Field is only a few blocks from where I work so I catch a few games a year in person. I don't really care for other sports.
That's what I did a few months ago. There are so many good books to read that I just don't have time for TV. For my video I now have Netflix for about a third the price of my cable bill. No TVs in the house now, just a laptop with a DVD player.
I feel so much better and smarter now. Did you know that there is a "new" Heinlein book out? I never saw that on TV!

tacocat: I don't know if the guy from GRsecurity can be classified as an asshole or not. I have found a lot of people who do post security patches tend to be very arrogant buttholes, but I've never met the guy. So there's some room here to determine just who's the bitch now.
WTF does this have to do with a security hole? Why should it make a difference if he's a asshole or not. WHO THE FUCK CARES WHO THE BITCH IS? This isn't a points game of "who likes me now" but an operational issue the needs to be resolved.
I guess it goes back to the old (heh) saying that Linux if for those that hate Windows and BSD is for those that love Unix.
Otherwise the rest of your comments, if not newly insightful, address current truths.

The intro to SunnComm's over-flashed(tm) page has this litte notice that you must click/agree to before you can see the rest of the page.
It is the intention of management to remain a non-reporting company listed on the "The Pink Sheets" until such time as the company reports significant sales of its technology. It is within the corporation's legal rights to elect this option. However, this means that you, the investor or interest-holder, will not be afforded public access to regular company audits and therefore you must solely rely on the company's press releases, news stories, or other publicly available information.
Not having access to audit detail or other significant reporting dynamics can put SunnComm shareholders or interest-holders, at a significant disadvantage from a risk standpoint. Due to SunnComm's current, legal, non-disclosure status, your investment in SunnComm may carry with it an even higher degree of risk than that of other publicly traded companies which are currently fully reporting.
SO.. I can only believe what SunnComm tells me about SunnComm since SunnComm will try to sue and jail anyone that says anything bad about SunnComm or at least has them under a tight NDA.
By the way:
If you have additional questions regarding this notice or anything you may read on SunnComm's website, we urge you to contact company directly.
So, go to Ask the Prez and watch the bullshit flow. Like this exchange on the "Prez" page:
Q: Ive heard your technology can be hacked. Does that mean it wont "work?" (10/6/2003 7:37:18 PM)
A: Not at all. People who perform tests on MediaMax and declare it to be "hackable" dont understand why its there in the first place. Let me tell you why:
1. All technology can be "hacked" by people wishing to make illegal and unauthorized use of the content owners property. Prior to MediaMax, there was no alternative to the illegal copying and re-copying of music by users. Now with MediaMax on the CD, honest people have a way of honoring the artists wishes regarding how and where the music property can be copied and shared.
2. MediaMax was designed to put a structure on the CD, itself, that empowers consumers to make licensed, legal and yes, limited copies of the music. The world has never seen anything like it before.
3. Thieves attempting to circumvent the technology for the purpose of re-distributing the music are breaking the law. Nothing will ever stop these thieves. Theyve rationalized the theft and they will always be looking for ways to cheat the system.
4. The goal of MediaMax was not to invent the "holy grail" (since one does not exist). The idea was to provide users with a way to legally use the CD, whether that be for copying or sharing the music. The difference between using our implanted technology or ripping the music for re-distribution is the difference between withdrawing money from your bank or robbing it.
5. If you owned technology that allowed you to transport the money from your local bank to your living room, doesnt give you the right to do it. Music is much the same. As a consumer, you purchase the "listening rights" to the music on the CD, not the duplication rights.
6. No matter how much stealing (called "sharing" to make thieves feel better about themselves)goes on, its still taking the copyrighted property of others and converting it to ones own use.
7. The current version of MediaMax is like any software technology in Version 1. The next version will make it tougher and tougher to circumvent. We have to start somewhere and progressive record companies like BMG and others understand this.
8. Meanwhile, honest people, may, for the first time, enjoy the pleasurable experience of legal and licensed copying and sharing of their music - thats about 95% of us.
Read
RFC 2050, INTERNET REGISTRY IP ALLOCATION GUIDELINES. Every IP is required to have contact information available. It's called swipping a block and responsible providers do it. (Swip is Shared WhoIs Project.) At least with ARIN if you want to get or expand your netblock you need to have you swippage in order.
From RFC 2050:
2.2 Submission of Reassignment Information
It is imperative that reassignment information be submitted in a
prompt and efficient manner to facilitate database maintenance and
ensure database integrity. Therefore, assignment information must be
submitted to the regional registry immediately upon making the
assignment. The following reasons necessitate transmission of the
reassignment information:
a) to provide operational staff with information on who is using
the network number and to provide a contact in case of
operational/security problems,
b) to ensure that a provider has exhausted a majority of its
current CIDR allocation, thereby justifying an additional
allocation,
I've used whois as a phonebook often as most of the people I know have a domian. Even way back when slashdot was just starting an CmdrTaco was asking around for a free place to host the images I was able to call him becasue his number was on whois. We were able to get slashdot.wolfenet.com up and running and slashdot was able to continue existance and grow to the point where they were giving out 5 digit user numbers.
I'm strongly in the camp that domain contact information, at least the technical contact, should be public. I've dealt with abuse issues for ISPs too long the think any other way could work. If there is a technical or abuse issue with a domain a network admin needs to be able to contact the person responsible. At least contacts for DNS servers need to be required.
This kid, all 6'4" and 320lbs of him, will be, if convicted, going to a Federal Prison Camp (FPC). These camps often do not have fences or locks on the doors. After a few months he may be granted the status of Community Custody which will allow him to perform work details off of the camp's grounds, often unsupervised. The instances of rape in a FPC is quite low, so much that I have never heard of a verified account it the three years I spent at such facilities. FPC residents are all screened for violence before they are classified as a 'camper'.
Even if he doesn't get classified as a camper his height and bulk will go a long way to protect him. I'm 5'4" and was about 130 lbs back then and I never had a problem.
Now if he were going to a state joint, then all bets are off. Prison rape IS a real problem, just not where he most likely will be sent.
How do I know this? 1987, Sprint, a C64, 18USC1029 and a whole bunch of long-distance phone calls.

Phone numbers aren't dynamic. And a good ISP will be able to check the logs and find out who was assigned what IP at what time.
