  1. Re:Google it on Could We Beam Broadband Internet Into Iran? · · Score: 1

    Internet access over a "Satellite Phone?" Are you serious? I mean, have you actually tried to do this? Or, have you tried to ship a satellite dish into the middle east?

    Commercial satellite operators can only offer service in countries they have a license to do so. Keeping that license often means acquiescing to the government of the day.

  2. Re:Eh sonny? on Could We Beam Broadband Internet Into Iran? · · Score: 1

    The difference between you and the "fairly disturbing" people is that it seems you *could* debug comcast's network for them.

  3. Re:Doing the government's work for them on Can Open Source Give Comfort To the Enemy? · · Score: 1

    I don't think a UAV would make a big enough splash to be considered a "weapon." Besides, a weather balloon is a much simpler and more reliable weapon delivery platform.

  4. Checks and Balances on Interview with National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell · · Score: 1


    Maybe he came clean on the telco intercepts because the grandson of the man who helped hide the telecom bunkers threatened to start posting their locations on Google Maps.

  5. Grab the Google Cache on On The Preservation Of Endangered Web Resources ... · · Score: 2

    You can still get the MathWorld site out of the google cache. Here's a quick and dirty hack to make the google cache "navigatible:" http://net127.com/g c/i ndex.cgi/mathworld.wolfram.com/topics/

  6. Bandwidth Limiting on ARIN: No More IP's For IP-Based Virtual Hosts · · Score: 2

    Limiting the amount of bandwidth a web site uses also requires a separate IP address for each limited site. This applies to MS IIS AND Cobalt RaQ [Linux] servers. You can't do this with host headers.

  7. International Telecommunication Union on How Many Frequency Bands Are There? · · Score: 1
    > Would the International equivalent of the FCC need to be formed to handle these kinds of issues on a global basis?

    Such an organization already exists, it's the International Telecommunication Union.

    "The ITU, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland is an international organization within which governments and the private sector coordinate global telecom networks and services."

  8. Not a Parody on Dilbert Hole now Closed Down · · Score: 1

    A parody is when SNL does a sketch featuring an actor portraying Bad Boy Billy (Clinton) and some sluts. Copying strips directly from the Dilbert site and replacing the words, is theft and libel.

    Had the authors actually drawn the cartoons and tried to make them funny instead of just obscene, they may have had a case.

    The people at rotten.com really need to find some other way to draw attention to themselves.

  9. BBs on Slashdot LinuxWorld Awards · · Score: 1

    /me has a "Powered by FreeBSD" sticker on one linux box and a nice raised plastic FreeBSD on my /other/ linux box. But hey, I've also got a "Intel Inside (r)(tm)(c)(p) PII Xeon" sticker on my Pilot III.

    Back to the topic: I want LinuxWorld Babe Pics!

  10. I loved it. on World Without Walls · · Score: 1

    It was better than Cats. I'm going to forward it
    again and again.

  11. RC5 cracker on it? on Empeg MP3 Car Stereo Ready for Production · · Score: 1

    hmmm... 8 megs might not be enough for X,
    but I'm sure it could crank out a few 100,000
    keys / second with that strongARM proc :}

    grab keyblocks when you docked it with your PC...
