However, if the publishing of your company in the list causes actual harm to the reputation of the company (not to mention monetarily), I believe the court will side with the damaged party.
The First Amendment guarantees free speech, with some limitations. Two exceptions off the top of my head are libel and slander.
SPEWS is described as a list composed of network addresses in use by spammers, but we all know that innocents get thrown in the mix. This could be construed as a false publication, and considered damaging to the reputation of a company or person, not to mention the suing for damages due to a lost or missed contract.
Also, if this became a big enough problem to a big enough company, that company could invoke interference to interstate commerce, and I believe the FBI would become interested at this point, though I have a feeling SPEWs would avoid listing someone like that.

Yes, but Celko's examples tedn to shoot off in the acamedic (read: features not implemented by any vendor).
If one wants a fairly good book on SQL (though oriented towards T-SQL, and a lot towards Microsoft), Ken Henderson's "The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL" is good. Ken also lists Celko as one of his major influences.

I have to take issue with this whole "banning access from the router is a trick being pulled on you".
The ISP I'm currently working for does not allow customer access to the router unless it is *their* router. In that case, we don't manage it either... we'll give you everything you need to set it up and even support you on getting yours configured if it's Cisco gear.
We will, however, give the customer an MRTG graph to demonstrate usage on their line.
As far as Frame Relay, the scenarios you describe are the rule rather than the exception, but if you have clear (and private fiber) between where you're mapping ports, the end user won't be experiencing that sort of latency. You're thinking of the ultra ghetto fly by nights that do that.
I was thinking more along the lines of "Afterschool Special".
What happens when a young adult gets hooked on programming Basic and Pascal on old Apple IIe's and ends up in the sordid world of BBSes and phone phreaking? All this and more on today's Afterschool Special.
No crap. I was a teenage sysadmin, and while I learned a lot and got to get my hands dirty with large systems, programming, network design and best practices (which five years later is actually becoming a cohesive whole), I really wish I had just gone to college and gotten it under my belt.
Choose no life. Choose sysadminning. Choose no career. Choose no family. Choose a fucking big computer, choose hard disks the size of washing machines, old cars, CD ROM writers and electrical coffee makers. Choose no sleep, high caffeine and mental insurance. Choose fixed interest car loans. Choose a rented shoebox. Choose no friends. Choose black jeans and matching combat boots. Choose a swivel chair for your office in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose NNTP and wondering why the fuck you're logged on on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting in that chair looking at mind-numbing, spirit-crushing web sites, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last on some miserable newsgroup, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up lusers Gates spawned to replace the computer-literate.
I was the biggest proponent of automation at my work, but my boss (who I now work with as a business partner) never let me because he said "it takes too much time!". That was usually the case because he promised everything yesterday, the fscknut. He never got the point that automation saves support costs later.
Now that I am in charge of technical matters in our own venture, I get to call the shots on this sort of crap. Automation is the foundation any stable network is built on, and I've been able to show my partner the light.
It just pains me that I've learned a lot of Microsoft automation. Right now I'm working out a Linux automation system with Kickstart + CVS... next I'll start working on a system for Solaris (I'm sure it'll be Jumpstart + CVS).
You won't be tied to hardware configs (unless you have funky hardware that doesn't have a Microsoft driver) and you can just plug your machines in with a floppy telling the machine to RIS itself (or certain NIC cards.. was it newer 3coms or Intels?).
There are some things that are not fun about doing this, like popping older apps in to MSI's (something I have had difficulty doing), but it pays off in the end.

It's been said before, but ...
In the end, the timetable set for HIPAA compliance will be pushed back further and further.
Some of the stuff they're asking for is just unreasonable. I don't remember a lot of it, but I'm just glad to be out of the world of health care.

I believe the phenomenon you're referring to is LGAT -- Large Group Awareness Therapy, something the Armed Forces used to build the Army.
You can watch the same sort of phenomenon with groups such as Landmark Education
Don't do it kids, mmmmmmk?

Make sure you do it in front of the hub too in some off hour. The lowest number I'd actually accept would be around 170 - 180k.
Get a DS1 to your house. If you live in a downtown area, you may be able to cut a zero mile deal and resell to your neighbors.
Then hog the internet all you want.

The only thing you had to worry about was your newsgroup was being UPA'd, or stumbling in to Godwin's Law.

Use RIS.
You won't be tied to hardware configs (unless you have funky hardware that doesn't have a Microsoft driver) and you can just plug your machines in with a floppy telling the machine to RIS itself (or certain NIC cards.. was it newer 3coms or Intels?).
There are some things that are not fun about doing this, like popping older apps in to MSI's (something I have had difficulty doing), but it pays off in the end.
Ouch. That's what one gets when one has a circuit from Verizon.
As far as inkjet printers go, you can't go wrong with Epson. I have an Epson Stylus C80 and it works great using CUPS and the gimp-print drivers.
I was told that all Northwest employees must have a Compuserve account if they have Internet access.
