I'm reminded of South Park season 4, episode 8 "Chef Goes Nanners". You missed the question and in the process answered it better than anyone could have hoped for.
I have successfully eliminated all telemarketing calls from my life and I can't imagine going back. Two steps:
1) Acquire cell phone 2) Cancel home phone
The wired phone system is not worth the money. Why should I burn my time battling calls I don't want just so I can get the calls I do when I could just as easily get those calls on a cell which doesn't have any marketers?
Remember, the phone company has to route your 911 call from any wired line regardless of whether you have service.
Yes, well, that's nice and all but you know the NSA has a direct tap on the plain text communications before they get encrypted and sent to the other service so it's worthless. (Two years ago that would have sounded really paranoid. Not so much now, huh?)
End point encryption is the only thing useful these days. And even that isn't as useful as we all thought because NSA is proving that they don't really need to know what you're saying. They have enough information on everyone that if they know who you're talking to, they can guess what you're saying to them.
Because the Windows 98 computers running the spy cameras don't support encrypted file systems.
Seriously, this is a fricking no-brainer. Make the key 4096 bits of random data, load it into battery-backed RAM from a storage device kept at the air field. When you run in to a problem you have 4K of data in RAM to destroy instead of GBs of data on disk with the added benefit that if you ever get the disk back to the air field you still get your data. Unless the Air Force doesn't have access to unbreakable encryption...
This is why the judicial branch is my favorite. Sure, they don't always rule the way we geeks would like but at least they try to think instead of just doing what will get them re-elected.
Executive is the figurehead, legestlative is the mob, judicial is the sanity. Sometimes.
I can't tell you how many machines I've had the misfortune to log in to where that command yeilded multiple screens work of output. Then you ask the admin, "Why are things listening on port 21, 111, 113, 137, 445, 901, and 8080?" and they say, "I duno. That's just the way it came."
Actually the single server, 2 client version is availible in 5.0 for free. They've got a quite nice statement about why they're giving it away on their site too. Basically they appreciate everything hobbists have done so they're giving their work back gratis.
We use it at our office to backup the/home partition of our development server and it works flawlessly. I've never tried to restore an actual bootable system partition with it though. I just reinstall, match up the RPM list, and restore the config files.
I have a desk w/ 3 levels. It's much easier and less straining to move your eyes up and down. The main desk level has a slanted book stand on it, the back shelf has my monitors, and the keyboard goes in the key board tray.
My desk though I assmebled it w/ the keyboard tray and shelf on the same segment:
We're in the same boat. We're a small ISP and we run a list server for our clients. Some of the stuff they send out is so amusing, even I sign up for it.
What we've been doing is verifying our email lists (this goes a long way to avoiding getting flagged as a bad guy) and sending messages out one per connection. It's fabiously inefficient and it takes 4 hours to send out 12,000 emails (our biggest customer) but we've only managed to tick off about 3-4 other ISPs.
There's two things that I see as being issues that we're going to have to deal with soon in a real way:
1) Little Napolean wannabe sysadmins at other small ISPs that belive anything sent to more than one recipient is spam. These guys really irk me. Its one thing if their customer complains about mail from our domain and they evaluate the situation and block it but it's another for them to see a message destined for more than one mailbox on their domain and arbitrarly decide to reject all mail from our mail server (not just the domain that sent it mind you; ALL the domains we host.) Heart's in the right place but they left the lens cap on thier mind. I've tried talking with them but that just seems to iritate them more.
2) Big email hosting companies (Yahoo, AOL, MSN, Hotmail) looking to make yet another buck. Take a peak at these headers on a bulk email I got from Yahoo:
X-YahooFilteredBulk: 209.164.21.221
And this page from the Yahoo help desk:
http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/spam/spam-17. ht ml
Now don't get me wrong, I love (well, like) the bulk mail folder on my Yahoo account. I'm just waiting for these companies to decide to offer "Prefered Sender" subscriptions that will garante delivery to thier user's Inbox or maybe Prefered Partners Inbox or something. What are we (small ISP's) going to do then? We're not going to buy a subscription from every Yahoo/MSN/AOL out there and we can't serve our customers well if all thier lists get piped to/dev/null by the big guys.

"the entire broadcast schedule might be nothing but sci-fi shows, tween-lit adaptions and whatever Joss Whedon wants to do"
Can someone point it out?

Right. Because we're having such an easy time with that group of civilians (well, former civilians) over in Iraq with our group of soldiers.
You don't have to beat an army on the battlefield to win.

No but IPCop does and it has traffic shaping as well. As do a number of the firewall distros based on both Linux and *BSD.
As usual, the more you know* the more fun you can have.
