The Ohio river meets the Mississipi at Cairo, Illinois. The Missouri meets the Mississipi at St. Louis, Missouri, which is upstream from Cairo.

Re:overwhelming majority don't dual boot

On: The Boot Loader Showdown

That is true for pre-2.6 kernels and if it was x86. Now the Linux 2.6 kernel requires a bootloader. The best you can do IMO is to create a minix fs on a floppy with LILO. You can use GRUB also, but it does require a bit more space, which shrinks your freespace for the kernel.

On: License for Open-Source Software w/ Plugins?

But, where does the 'core' end, and the 'interface' begin?

Can you really divide it so cleanly?

Are there not interfaces between all of the layers?

Re:It's not a GPL variant.

On: License for Open-Source Software w/ Plugins?

Let's not compare apples and oranges. Linus made an exception for binary only modules, but that exception only applies to the Linux kernel.

In this case, the question applies to a userland application, and I would agree that LGPL would be a suitable license as A.K.A Magnet wrote.

Listening in via the 5ESS switch is a 'feature'. Literally a BRCS (Business and Residential Custom Service) feature. It's just not well documented, and in fact, is not normally taught to switch techs. But, it's just a variant of 3WC (Three Way Calling).

As to VOIP tap-ins, well, the government would rather you use VOIP since it's much easier to collect.

Good points. Yes, a x86 based router costs more. But, you can *do* more also.

Not good. Both of their nameservers are on the same network.

Re:I've run 2 ISP's, starting my third...

On: Classed as Spam by Large-Scale Free Email Servers?

The two host commands tell the story.

His e-mail going out says its from christbartle.com, but the e-mail servers upstream are trying to prevent spam, and are doing a reverse DNS lookup which returns bartle189.dsl.frii.net which does not match chrisbartle.com .

They think you are a spammer.

Your ISP is not managing DNS properly for your domain.

Talk to your ISP. Good Luck.
