I suppose someone should state the obvious: selling gas chambers to the enember would get a company shut down - selling wire tapping services to companies because of one of our laws is legal and according to the populas ethical, and moral as well seems we elect representatives to make laws like this...
you're a dumbass GigsVT
Were you not paying attention in history class? Oppression is not carried out by criminals, but governments, usually with the support of a majority of the people.
Haha, figures. I used to have Charter, nice 384/128 caps, 50% or less uptime. I guess you use that "we're doing a sweep and balance" excuse a lot. I heard it for over a year.
I eventually sent email to the CEO, the CIO, etc, after all, their email addresses were just first initial/last name@chartercom.com, even though non-published.
After I did that, I got a special caseworker, some regional supervisior. Service didn't improve much. I guess people like you make the decisions that a whole town can be fed off of one real T1 and a peering T1 to the local college.
I'm glad I left. After constant billing mix-ups, service that was up less than half the time, and shitty caps, I'll be glad if I never deal with Charter again.

It depends on the levels on your drop. If your signal is already borderline, then it has to be dedicated.
Let me guess, you must be a cable monkey for a living, since you didn't mention frequency, bandwidth, notch filters, high-pass or low-pass filters. That's about normal cable monkey skill level.
You would also have to know the approximate length of cable, the DC resistance would go up with longer cables. It's the same reason a long length of coax almost always looks like a perfect 1:1 SWR, the resistance saturates and the reactance doesn't matter.
I'm getting sick of this 2 minute time limit thing. This is the fourth time I hit it in a row. Can't they just accept that some people type quickly?
People do unwittingly broadcast cable TV, by hooking up thier rooftop antenna to the same coax system in some way. Signal can also leak out to antennas through devices that are connected to antennas and cable, that don't have very good isolation.
The key never leaves the box, and the co-host should erase it's copy of the key and shutdown on any unexpected network activity (like an attempt to log-in).

Do you see Mosix becoming so easy to use, so powerful and so fault-tolerant that cheap clusters of commodity boxes will soon displace big proprietary SMP machines?
First, It's openMosix, not Mosix. Mosix is the legacy version that may not be open source at some point in the near future.
Secondly, clusters are no where near SMP in as far as what problems they are applicable to. Maybe if we get some sort of high speed commodity interconnect that lets us have shared memory between nodes, then we will be gettting somewhere, otherwise, clusters work on mostly CPU bound problems that don't rely on tons of shared communication between nodes.
I really don't know why you explained all that stuff, I'm a ham radio operator and well familiar with it.
Radio from 0-300Mhz is very much more important than any other range of bands. Long distance propagation almost exclusively happens below 30Mhz (with exceptions). Those 30Mhz are hundreds of times more important than the 30Mhz between 5.00Ghz and 5.03Ghz.
That is why I say it's a fallacy to compare previous bandwidth allocations with the current microwave allocations, it's apples and oranges.
Some of those you are correct on, but I am working on Quark DCS level 2 files right now, the specs are published and widely available. There are a lot of open standards out there.
It's just a little bit harder to build a huge faraday cage around a rouge transmitter, than it is to null route someone. Your posts show a lack of basic understanding of radio.
is merely inviting a blocking transmission from everyone else - so it would achive nothing and the rights of existing broadcasters would be upheld.
These "blocking transmissions" would prevent the legitimate owner from using the band as well. Do you know anything at all about radio?
But the question is, "are our regulations and laws out of date?"
I say they aren't. Compared to something like copyright law and the Internet, radio is coming along nicely. There are a few lagging areas, like freely available microwave spectrum for fixed point to point Internet, but that is sorting itself out too with the availability of the various 802.11x bands.
There are bigger fish to fry. When radio regs become a problem, we should fight to change them, until then, concentrate on much more important things.

Nah, factoring's easy, I can factor any prime number up you tell me, in my head, in less than a second.

Why does everyone think PDF is a closed spec?
A specific enabling technology is a lot different from providing a commodity.
I don't think you could invoke Godwin's law, since I didn't bring it up as part of an ongoing flame war, it was my whole original point.

Your father must have made a killing selling gas chambers during WWII.
they're just trying to make a buck by filling a need that is currently out there

They might have insisted on the splitter because the signal was too strong without it. It happens sometimes.

Yes, but it's a little harder to tell what you are watching on said TV, and whether it originated from the cable network or the air channels.
It's harder, but possible.

What the hell does that have to do with openMosix.
You are talking about fault tolerant clustering, which openMosix isn't. OM is parallel processing type clustering.
Do you see Mosix becoming so easy to use, so powerful and so fault-tolerant that cheap clusters of commodity boxes will soon displace big proprietary SMP machines?

IBM served them well throughout that whole halocaust thing, they are just going with someone they have a business relationship with already. :)
OK, why didn't anyone tell me this was "Mod Trolls Up Day"?
77k High Intensity LEDs, eh?
Well considering that a high intinsity LED probably costs about 30-50 cents a piece in bulk... and then the time to wire them up..
And solar panels are about 50 cents a watt, maybe a little less in bulk.
I don't see how this thing cost less than several million dollars.

PS and PDF are pretty open formats. The specs are well published.
the point is mute.
The point may be unable to speak, but it may also be moot.
Just your friendly neighborhood grammar asshole.
