This would only work if the cable system your in sends out the VOD unencrypted. Not all do since each town is independent of each other. ANYONE with a digital tuner plugged in to RF knew this. Now that this guy got his 5mins of fame on/. im sure the number of unencrypted VOD system is gona go WAY now. Great Job!
Google would do the same thing Yahoo did. They are a corporation. A corporation's #1 goal is to make money. If they didnt they would be failing their shareholders. I remember when communist used to be bad, but since you can make money dealing with communist china its now ok.
only problem with leaching the am power is that his lights would get dimmer and brighter with the changes in the amplitude of the signal. Also I dont think the fence would be insulated from the ground. So all that flickering power would be sent right down the fence polls in to the ground. I call BS on this one...
Why wouldnt you post it? Its in the whois DB...its not like its privet info... (I just blanked out the email to stop the spambots from picking it up..if you want it go whois it. )

Cable modem bandwith is shared in its node. From the node it goes to fiber back to the head-end.
If you live out in the sticks and there maybe 5 cablemodems on your node you could get away with downloading 5TB a month and no one would say a thing.
BUT
If you live in a 150unit building that has a few other buildings in this one node then you might have problems. People will complain that their service is slow and the headend guys will look for a reson why. (Nevermind the company over sold that node...) they have to find and fix the slowness "problem". Thats where you come in...
Thats basicly how it was told to me by one of the system techs at the cable co i work for:-/
So what do i use for backing up data I want to keep for years?
CDr's now "suck".. I just moved alot of data off OLD hd's i had sitting around. They worked fine when i put them away but alot of them failed to spin up or had big time read errors. I thought moving everything to CDr would be the way to go.
I also use a RAID setup on netbsd with a few new seagate drives. Seems to be working fine but a good spike or other big hardware failer could knock the drives out... and just putting one drive away gets me back to my 1st problem.
XM/Sirus get around LOS issues by using repeaters on cell towers. They also have buffers in them so if you drive under a overpass or something blocks LOS you have a few seconds before it blacks out.
TV uses MUCH higher bandwith..so much so that they need more then one bird in the sky to give you all the channels. DTV uses 3 and DISH uses 2 for most stuff..(they have more DISH has 2 other ones on my side of the the USA for Sky Angle and international programing etc). For DTV/DISH to work like sirus/XM they would have to scrap their whole system and come up with some crazy new tech... Aint gona happen anytime soon.
So we will be forced to have Clear Channel crap (They have a big part in XM) on the radio with NO choice...again? No thanks. I love my sirus and I like the fact XM is also there. It forces sirus to be always comming up with new stuff.
Why try and go after DISH/Echostar and DirectTV? Its not like there is much money there. Plus they would have to deal with those 2 long standing companys and the cable co AND now the telco's are getting in to the TV game. With fiber-to-home thats comming out soon DBS is going to be only sellable in remote areas.
I worked for pepboys and ive had this happen to me. The way they did it was the DM would pressure the store manager to keep payroll down. The store manager would then have the 2nd asst manager who was a little "slow" edit the times of people who ran over 40hours.
They would get away with this because more and more people would be switching over to direct dep and not getting that check to look at.
If anyone picked up on their time being wrong the store manager would play dumb and blame it on the 2nd asst manager who was dumb.
After a wile I learned this was happening at other stores. I used to make my manager give me a detailed print outs of my timerecords..i quit soon after that.
It wasnt untill just now that i steped back and thought of the virtual community im a part of as a "virtual community". I guess thats how the really GOOD ones are. The numbers are kinda small in todays terms and alot of people are on a real names basis. Its centered mainly around the cult of old Chrysler brand cars (mopars) and mopar racing. Ive met alot of people at big advents like Chryslers at Carlile(sp?) and have driven to other shows in NJ, PA, CT, MA, and NH and always end up meating members there or finding a moparts.com tent/booth with members hanging around it. Its hard to flame on the board or troll because chances are you may run into other members at your local track or end up seeing them at a cruse night...your car better live up to your claims:) My 440 Scamp(bigest motor, smallest car) would have never seen the light of day if not for the "community's" help. Often members in my local area have met at a cruse area for some steet racing or to just cruse around. It reminds me alot of the "good 'ol days" of BBS's where we had "modem meets" at the local mall or what not, and you could put faces to the nicknames. It also made it easy to kick a troll's ass in real life:)
On any given sunday i would agree with you but i have to say that my iPAQ pocket PC with WinCE is kinda neat. It has 16megs of FLASH and 32megs of ram. It retails for $499 and does everything i could ever need. It comes with USB for Active Sync but i ordered a rs232 cable so i could put linux on it. WinCE lets me view multimedia files in very good color. The 206Mhz strongARM cpu lets it play MP3's with easy. And the built in microphone lets my take audionotes with a push of the switch on the side. It comes with pocket IE, word, exel,etc... which would be neat if i used them. I could use normal PCMCIA cards with the expander thing that slides on the back. But the bigest thing that stands out and what made me get this over a palm is how clear and bright the screen it. The palm devices just seem old next to this thing. And its a Open Handheld. Compaq is supporting other OS's on it and open standards. See htttp://www.handhelds.org
And if you fsck up your iPAQ by putting another OS on it compaq will fix it for you.
I also have a few years worth of Rainbow, micro-80, and i think CromoCassette. I still like to dig one out and flip threw all the old ad's. I have some of those floppy records that came in them that you had to tape them down on to your turntable and hook it up to the CASS port. On day ill fire my old CoCo back up and record everything to CD-R.

This would only work if the cable system your in sends out the VOD unencrypted. Not all do since each town is independent of each other. ANYONE with a digital tuner plugged in to RF knew this. Now that this guy got his 5mins of fame on /. im sure the number of unencrypted VOD system is gona go WAY now. Great Job!
I think this counts as my weekly shower... sweet!

different types or linux users? Like star-wars vs star trek geeks? Arnt we all just nerds?
Is this Mozilla's answer to Vista? Who ever can use the most ram and CPU power wins?
They sell cable modem service. Not phone service. They make no guarantee's as to the systems speed or uptime. Read your TOS.
Now if you get the IP phone from the cable co thats another story...

Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
Those who run the voting servers decide everything
To protect the children, we must enable every cable and satellite company to provide xxx content on channel 69!
Heh.
Back in the day before digital cable, CableVision used to have the Playboy channel on ch69 here in CT.
HomeDepot has both...
So I wonder what thier long term plans are for that deal they setup not to long ago with EchoStar(DISHNetwork)?
So what do i use for backing up data I want to keep for years?
CDr's now "suck".. I just moved alot of data off OLD hd's i had sitting around. They worked fine when i put them away but alot of them failed to spin up or had big time read errors. I thought moving everything to CDr would be the way to go.

25gals? Pfft.. My old '91 Dodge D150 with its little 5.2L v8 takes 30something gal's to fill :-/
Ive found that when you "pay at the pump" the pumps stop at $50...you then have to reswipe the card to get more.
I worked for pepboys and ive had this happen to me. The way they did it was the DM would pressure the store manager to keep payroll down. The store manager would then have the 2nd asst manager who was a little "slow" edit the times of people who ran over 40hours.
