    Apparently the RIAA thinks it is a match for the Telecoms lawyers and lobbyists.

    If they have the same people securing their web servers as "infesting" peer to peer networks I don't think we have much to worry about.

  6. Super Karate Monkey Death Car on Linux PDA From China · · Score: 2, Funny

    The original title of this book was 'Jimmy James, Capitalist Lion Tamer' but I see now that it's... 'Jimmy James, Macho Business Donkey Wrestler'... you know what it is... I had the book translated in to Japanese then back in again into English.

    Macho Business Donkey Wrestler... well there you go... it's got kind of a ring to it don't it? Anyway, I wanted to read from chapter three... which is the story of my first rise to financial prominence... I had a small house of brokerage on Wall Street... many days no business come to my hut... my hut... but Jimmy has fear? A thousand times no. I never doubted myself for a minute for I knew that my monkey strong bowels were girded with strength like the loins of a dragon ribboned with fat and the opulence of buffalo... dung. ...Glorious sunset of my heart was fading.

    Soon the super karate monkey death car would park in my space. But Jimmy has fancy plans... and pants to match. The monkey clown horrible karate round and yummy like cute small baby chick would beat the donkey.

    Well, you know... it's LIKE when a clown is making like a car... racer... it's sorta... like... the FCC. The CLOWN... the clown is like the FCC... and I was opposed to the FCC at the time, right? So it was like I was declaring War. WARRRR!

    What did you mean when you said, "Feel my skills, donkey donkey donkey, donkey donkey?

  10. Re:"Telecom Valley"?? on Rolling DSL and Wireless Access Out In One Swoop · · Score: 1

    because petaluma/santa rosa *is* telecom valley. the name was coined back in the 90's when the valley was flush with telecom equipment manufacturers labs. cisco, nokia and several others i can't recall off the top of my head.

    course given the attrition in the telecom vendor segment, many of the smaller players are out of business.

  11. Re:Shared bandwidth on Rolling DSL and Wireless Access Out In One Swoop · · Score: 1

    generally the bottle necks occur at the ds-3 hand off to the ISP. ISP's, to be profitable, generally have to aggregate ~3000 or so subscribers on a ds-3 transport to make money.

    Transport is the largest recurring cost in deployment.

  12. wireless in petaluma on Rolling DSL and Wireless Access Out In One Swoop · · Score: 1

    Very nice, typically Petaluma/Rohnert Park/Cotati/Santa Rosa are considered tier 3 markets. IMO, having been one of the engineers for NorthPoint and now AT&T, it is refreshing to see a company address these markets with a topology that has the potential to turn a profit for them, as opposed to the standard approach of rolling out services at a loss to satisfy availability claims.

  16. Re:Costs on WorldCom Bids On Various Rhythms Assets · · Score: 2, Insightful



    Well, Rhythms was the best funded DLEC a few years back, they went through over 2 billion, much of that in capex for equipment, and recurring charges. Consider the recurring costs associated with over 1000 ds3 and half a dozen oc3 from the ILECs. The reason it's cheaper (comparitivelly) is WorldCom owns a significant amount of the existing transport network Rhythms is leasing.

  19. How is this news? on OpenProjects IRC Network Suffering DoS Attacks · · Score: 1



    Ok, I may be missing something here but EF, Undernet and DALnet have been getting these attacks for WAY longer than openprojects. Undernet alone has lost 3 hubs to *sustained* 50mbit+ attacks over the past 3 years. This is not new, it doesn't help to publicize the attacks and only encourages more attacks for the recognition sites like Slashdot bring.

  21. MTTR for ISPs on When Does An ISP's Response Time Become Too Slow? · · Score: 1



    A word of advice to you ISP shoppers out there. Find out if your ISP has an MTTR like the telephone companies do. Mean Time To Repair should be a part of the service contract for any tier 1 ISP. You should look for a MTTR of about 12 hours for server outages. For account maintenance surung normal business hours the MTTR should be 1 hour. Your service may vary, but getting an MTTR commitment from the ISP means you can hold them to the contract just as much as they hold you to it.

  22. DSL Access in the states. on Broadband Net Access Down Under? · · Score: 1

    Well to give you some perspective on the states. Most CLEC's are scrambling to gather subscribers and you can pretty do whatever your ISP allows you to. I know that most the really hungry ISP's (Flashcom, etc) don't have the resources to enforce the AUP's. Most CLECS take the attitude of "you paid for it, use the hell out of it"...however...as I stated before...it is usually ISP dependant. Now the ILECS have a different perspective...they are focussing on subscribers and ae massively over subscribing their network to turn a profit. Prices for SDSL range from $40/mo U.S. for 416k to 300/mo for 1.536. So...to sum it up, the market is ranging and not too many companies are being too particular about subscribers activities unless there are complaints or the subscriber is managing to gobble up all thr transport(which shouldn't happen in a properly design network). ./bot

  25. 30GB on the x86 platform is doable. on 30+ GB Databases On Unix? · · Score: 1

    As many of the other posts reflect, you get what you pay for. For mission critical apps (read -> your database) you want redundancy throughout the system architecture. Disk drives are not the only thing to worry about, the architecture for x86 may not be able to support the data transfer rates you are looking for, additionally there may very well be abmismal support from the vendor for an x86 implementation. My advice is spend on the hardware, a poor db implementation can not only cripple your operations team but also make your career shorter than you may have otherwise planned. /bot
