Most telephone companies will rool out VOIP switches, replaceing older gear. The customer will remain on POTS and wont even know that somewhere at the end of thier block there is a bos that changes the data to ip packets and tehn somwhere at a central office it can either be changed back to a analog signal or if that telephone company has a IP connection to other telcos then it can stay IP. I really think people get very confussed when talking about IP, I know I still do, it is a a technology that can mean many things not just voice over the internet or even to your house. It can be used to save allot of money in telephone switching gear, by the use of digital compression and being able to get use of what would be normaly be unused bandwidth in physical wiring when people are not using the phone lines. Just to name a couple good reasons.
Anyway your home would proablly remain POTS in most the systems I have seen, and the actual telco equipment still has quite a bit of redudency built in to it. Power for a standard phone would still be provided and if a telco wanted to over voip phone to people I am sure they could have power built in to the ethernet for that, I know most cisco switches that support thier voip phone have that option. No need to use your cell phone BTW when your power goes out, just keep a old standard phone around in the closet or something for cases when the voltage supplied by the phone line is all you have. In a real bad emergency the cell phone's could become useless because a local cell tower cant handle everyone tring to use the sevice at once. best to have both options open.
"When did parents stop taking responsibility for the games that their children play, the cd's that their children listen to, and the movies that their children watch? In my opinion, a game is free speech, and should therefore be protected under the First Amendment."
Yes Video Games put you in to the movie maybe as the main charature, I personaly dont see why that matters at all, The game in no way makesme want to go out and kill people after I play it, I hope you dont go kill people after you play it, but If you should that is your problem not mine, dont remove content from people that can handle things like that fine, just cause you may be worried that someone else cant control themselves. If they dont know whats right and wrong enough to understand its a game then they have problems before they even pick this game up. There is allot of things people likes to blame things that happen in real life on.
The US army makes a game called American Army, but that is ok cause its killing people for good. I am sure that wont be a big deal.
This game is as much Free Speech as any work of ART or any Movie, Song etc...
This is game is no worse than allot of movies, I am 32 years old and I love the game, I personally think its wrong that someone else can tell me what I can not watch or play. If other go out and kill someone after playing a video game that their problem, and sure as hell is! covered by the Constitution, you people cant pick and choose what is cover and isn't covered, any form of communication between people should be covered.
I personally love playing videos games, and like the content to mature content just like movies I might watch. These conservative fucks think they can tell me what music I can listen to movies I can watch and now games I can play, F! Them!
That New york post article is total crap
Ill end this rant with a quote from Public Enemy "New York Post, aint worth the paper its printed on, founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton, That's 190 years of continuous fucked up news!"
Yea well um, I dont think Verisign has anything to do with such a system, since when was Verisgn is the routing bussiness, unless I missed something, if this is what he refers to, then he is tring to make things like this "But it would be commercially unreasonable for anyone to suggest that we shouldn't be allowed to build incremental services on top of that if they deliver value" Where he is talking about there just plain bold attempt to make a serive more of a pain in the ass and make them money and comparing it to a system that is actully being developed to help solve a problem. This kind of thing is just company bean counter rich executive BS, were they know they are mostly talking to, or care about other rich company people that dont know the damn difference and will draw some kind of relansionship between shit like this. Thier DNS idea was hardly innovative at all, it was somthing that simply anyone could have thought of but wouldnt have the balls to look so shitty, then to make remarks like this, jesus these people deserve a punch in the mouth with a "what do I look stupid?" comment thrown in for good measure.
Personaly I do not think that "under god" should be there, It really isnt that big of deal I will give that to you, but this is a great standing point ot make some relious nuts understand that just because they belive in something does not make it ok to make my child feel strange if he does not belive. Sure he can just not say those words, but I have a feeling that if I made your child say "under budda" or anything that you did not belive in, you would have a major problem with that, I presonaly do not belive in a god, that is just me, I dont push that belief on others. I would probally bring my child up the same way, making him or her understand why, If for some reason he or she wanted to belive in God anyway that is fine by me, but if he didnt want to and felt strange not doing what the other kids do in his school then that is a good enough reason to remove it. School is there to tech not to make statements about your god.
I agree, I only use windows at work cause we have to to run MSOffice. I also have access to Linux at work but you get the picture. I would get rid of Windows if I could at work, it would be easier to get ride of it there. At home I only use my PC to play game 90% of the time. Wine might run some games, But i useally only play newer games, currently I play allot of Planetside, Everquest a alittle bit, BF1942, and waiting for DOOM3! Halflife2 etc. Do you really think that when new games are just release I want to go pay 50 bucks for those games and then come home to mess with wine support? The only other things I need to be able to do from home is use a couple network GUIs for some remote machines, that are windows only, but may work under wine, plus email and ssh list to MP3's record DVD's. Why would I even bother to duel boot? what boot in to Linux to check my email then reboot back to windows to play a game, not worth the time. I can jut ssh in to some other box for some things.
I think of this list as just saving these stupid people the time of calling me and making me mad and not selling anything anyway. I mean for to many years now they have called me, made me mad and didnt sell a damn thing. I can tell them right now they have zero fucking chance of selling me anything. I have never bought anything over the pohne, I have never even listened so someone telling me I might have won a trip or money, I tell them to leave me alone. So why they would be so upset I want to be on a list that tells them not to bother is crazy. I mean I still see what they are saying, I just think it stupid and alot of other people out there probaly think the same thing, and know they are never going to buy any of there stupid shit anyway.
I agree that we should never have invaded Iraq. You simply do not go to war unless it is abso-fucking-lutely the last option available. People that have been through a bad war I think would agree that with it come lots of killing and lots of those are innocent people. That means you don't simply go to war cause you felt like there might be some weapons there, even if there was, I seriously doubt we were in any danger. This was about oil and money, the sooner people wake up and realize that what makes the USA function is money , big companies with money. simple greed. and we always seems to think that others should be more like us. Don't let the patriotic bullshit fool you for a min. We have had our noses in Iraq for some time now and if that area what any other place with just some bad guy ruling it with no oil to be had we wouldn't know who Sadam is right now. I still cant make up my mind... if it makes me more mad that the goverment fills us full of so much bullshit or that people belive anything they say.
He said design, maybe he is a good artist dude. Layoff already, some people are good at design, where I can program some PHP I cant make a webpage look good design wise. being artistic is a talent you know.
Fred, I totally agree with your post, I was hoping someone would more on topic and mention that they might think that the Walker's NAT excuses was a little weak. Most newer NAT hardware couldn't make it more easy for someone to port forward to a internal IP address. I also think its a good idea. Walker almost sounds to me as if he wants the control of open ports to the internet to be in the hands of the software programer. I don't think that's a good idea at all, and think that making users understand the difference between being a normal client on the internet where MOST applications work fine with nothing changed to a NAT setup, and being a server is allot different. And making them go open the ports the server uses is a good thing. IT makes me feel better when I know what ports have had to be opened and why. Port forwarding is a nice thing, and even though on small home NAT boxes it might be hard to do, on bigger firewalls give a huge amount of flexibility, so if you have more than 1 port 80 that needs to be forwarded to use 2 external IPs but might still have 500+ users hidden behind those 2 IPs or whatever. it allows the firewall admin a great deal of flexibility that used to not be there. I think that Walkers NAT excuses is a little weak in my opinion.
Not true at all, most littel Cable DSL routers I have seen, like netgear and linksys are nothing but NAT boxes. My Netgear is simply a NAT box, it does have a port filter, but if you call that a firewall you are mistaken. There is a big different between a port filter and a firewall that does statefull inspection of IP packets.
Also this remark "you are absolutely right that NAT by itself provides no security" Is total bullshit, NAT does by itself provide some security, I might give the poster of that remark some credit and asume he is talking about if someone (would have to be his ISP or next hop router) was to add a route to his private ip space they could depending on the NAT box access the local LAN. I have used this before on bigger firewalls even on purpose, but allowing the connections through the firewall rulebase. But, in most all cases people that simply put a NAT box in front of there local LAN will be denying access to any open ports that didnt make a outbound connection first on thier local LAN, so how can you say that doesnt provide any security? Subjects like this is what shows that allot of slashdot readers show post on what they know about. and not try to post things that they dont understand.
This argument is almost off topic anyway. I found the artical agrevating also cause the author seems to dismiss that port forwarding the ports needed for Speak Freely is accepable. He sounds like he wants the control of what ports are open and respond to outside connetions to be in the hands of the programers of the software we run, I dont belive that is a good idea at all. and will always prefer to have to open a port up myself, so I know what is allowed to connect to a open port on the local LAN. I am not faying a firewall with NAT or without NAT is bad, on most big firewalls I run, I have internal interfaces that do use NAT and that dont use NAT. I consider both jsut as secure. And probally the biggest differece is that the firewall wont allow just any outbound connections. this good for things like internet Worms that get installed through a email virus or something and a regular NAT box will not stop those outgoing connections at all, and remember that a NAT box will allow incoming connections as long as a otubound connection has request that return port open for that TCP connections, I belive most UDP connections are even alittle more insecure since they useually open the return port based on a time limit. since UDP is not connection oriented.
Cisco has been doing a great job helping anyone who just opens a case with them, making sure to be extra polite even
Things like: "I hope you are having a good day. My name is Dave and I will be assisting you." "Thank you very much. Have a great day."
"This is to bring to your kind attention that I am the engineer assigned to your case. Kindly send me the Sh version of each of the routers as I need to know the Feature sets,Memory Size and the IOS version you are currently based on which I shall be ablt to suggest you the IOS upgrade."
"Assuring you the best of our services and attention at all times. Thanks & Regards,"
And we have gotten every new patched release with in a couple hours of opening a ticket, A couple times even last night at around 3am.
We have upgraded most of our backbone already and dont have to much left to do.
There might be some better hardware out there but the support from cisco is very good and should be noted.
Your absolutely right, people can complain all they want but I have had outstanding service from cisco, I can name allot of other companies that I dont get near the quality of service from. We were even contacted by our cisco rep before this was posted on the internet giving us a small heads up. Every cisco rep have been almost to nice about the whole thing, they trying to make sure people dont stay mad to long I guess, and the process has been very smooth. I talked to a couple of guys at cisco while working on other cases with them, and asked them how its been on the phones lately since this advisory and they were saying it was just very busy etc... Most companies wouldnt even be able to keep up with kind of traffic and they are handing it very nicely with patchs ready. And you know someone was still going to be out there complaining.
I always herd they were German Jewish Scientist that wanted to get out of germany anyway, pretty much held there to do work for germany or something. But of course I live in the USA
I belive you are allowed under law to make copies on music is it is for your own personal backup of material you purchased, that law has been around for some times now, wish I could remember what it is called etc, cause it seems I always need to remember it when people make statemenets like this. But I do remember there being a law that was fair use or something that lets you make personal copies of things you have purchased.
I was pretty lost during this scene, I useually dont get lost during SCI-FI strange plots twists or anything, but it left alot of questions for me. My understanding was that the other Neo's on the screen where previous Neo's that had all chosen the same outcome, and that yes it was somehow predetermined. I still couldnt help but feeel like I was missing something, and got lost on some of his explaination, wish I had exactly verbatim what the ARtitect had said written down! cause some of that shit was hard to understand. And you know what I get sick off the people no this site always having to prove thier IQ and just cant help but say things like "it was so easy to get" etc... whatever you people are so strange that you got to prove to everyone how smart you are all the time, and how this sceen was so easy to understand you your genius mind. Just go away and let the rest of use lower life forms talk about this, can you?
I belive there is a IMMINENT, PRESSING NEED for this law! I thought there used to be a LAW that allowed us to copy things we had purchased. For years while I was a kid I used to tape radio stations for songs I liked, if I liekd it a bought the record. Used to make compilation tapes of albums I had bought and play them on long car trips, I know keep a MP3 collection of albums (about 95% is albums I have bought, about 50% id probally albums I have bought more than once!) I used that MP3 collection to hopefully not have to buy the same album over and over, and I also copy them to CDs that allow me to put 12 Albums on one cd and play that cd in my car, this allows me to bring 10 cds with me and have around 120 albums with me in my car. These things just make life easier and people been copying things for years, the record companies have never liked it at all, and always creamed bloody murder. The whole time I am handing them money they are fighting me to not make a copy of it. Once they get the technology to actully stop me from making a copy of a CD, Movie whatever they will abuse that right. The goverment should step in and protect our right as Consumers to use the digital data we purchase in a fair way. I belive people will always be able to make copies but things like this hinder the real potential in the digital medium. If I for one buy a CD from the small record lable you mentioned, they should be happy to let me make a copy for my car etc... I puchased that peice of digital data from them, and only want to use it in a more reliable and usefull manner. Or maybe we should protect the companies right to charge us over an over, (most of us wont buy a copy for home and one for our car etc..) stopping us from using the data we did buy in a fair and more usefully way. Nah screw them protect me!
In a way I agree, I simply dont surf around like when I first got on the internet years ago. I look something if I am interested, or come to slashdot and follow some articals, or maybe go to my favorit gameing website etc... Anyone looking just to browse around is asking for it anyway, and yes sometimes I have to deal with some popups also, and sometimes even sign up for a site to get a download or something (that is always irritating). But most people think of the Internet as HTTP/HTML web browsing etc... I use the Internet for a whole lot more than that. Just the Idea that the Internet connects everyones computer/servers on one big network were we can share information and files is a big help and still very very usefull for me, and I think it will always be that way, no matter what this guy says. Email while full of SPAM yes is still a good way to say Hello send a picture etc to a budd, and I use it for work and would still rather handle requests via email than have someone pickup the phone interrupting me, I handle my email like a que of work I need to finish and work through them. I still like my email, even though I get alot of spam.
Thats correct I think there is a way of recording named after the placement of mikes as if it were your ears, it is useually better to listen to it back in headphones i think. But if the 2 mics are placed in a way that they do pick up from different directions it does matter, and comes out sounding better and fuller than 1 channel. For years at live concerts I have seen people with stero boom mics etc...
No doubt, what admin would setup a firewall and allow access to the 130's fromt he whole internet anyway? You would have to be brain dead. internal company workstations and servers would still work fine, but internet hosts would be blocked from access to this problem. I know alot of people might not agree with this idea, in that you should have to run a firewall, But I firmly belive you should and only let services through the firewall you know need to be allowed. No matter what OS is running on the internal side of the network. Firewalls can be a great source of information to see who is tring to do what also, all in one place, instead on on each local server.

Most telephone companies will rool out VOIP switches, replaceing older gear. The customer will remain on POTS and wont even know that somewhere at the end of thier block there is a bos that changes the data to ip packets and tehn somwhere at a central office it can either be changed back to a analog signal or if that telephone company has a IP connection to other telcos then it can stay IP.
I really think people get very confussed when talking about IP, I know I still do, it is a a technology that can mean many things not just voice over the internet or even to your house.
It can be used to save allot of money in telephone switching gear, by the use of digital compression and being able to get use of what would be normaly be unused bandwidth in physical wiring when people are not using the phone lines.
Just to name a couple good reasons.
Anyway your home would proablly remain POTS in most the systems I have seen, and the actual telco equipment still has quite a bit of redudency built in to it. Power for a standard phone would still be provided and if a telco wanted to over voip phone to people I am sure they could have power built in to the ethernet for that, I know most cisco switches that support thier voip phone have that option.
No need to use your cell phone BTW when your power goes out, just keep a old standard phone around in the closet or something for cases when the voltage supplied by the phone line is all you have. In a real bad emergency the cell phone's could become useless because a local cell tower cant handle everyone tring to use the sevice at once. best to have both options open.
Agreed, I quoted Public Enemy once before but here it is again...
"New York post, aint worth the papre its printed on, founded in 1801 for Alexander Hamilton, thats 190 years or continous fucked up news!"
"When did parents stop taking responsibility for the games that their children play, the cd's that their children listen to, and the movies that their children watch? In my opinion, a game is free speech, and should therefore be protected under the First Amendment."
Agreed!
"On a bigger picture, the thing that worries me is that soon the government may be telling me which games I as an adult can purchase"
Um thats what this is about.
Glad you caught that, gezzzzz

I belive you are allowed under law to make copies on music is it is for your own personal backup of material you purchased, that law has been around for some times now, wish I could remember what it is called etc, cause it seems I always need to remember it when people make statemenets like this.
But I do remember there being a law that was fair use or something that lets you make personal copies of things you have purchased.
I was pretty lost during this scene, I useually dont get lost during SCI-FI strange plots twists or anything, but it left alot of questions for me.
My understanding was that the other Neo's on the screen where previous Neo's that had all chosen the same outcome, and that yes it was somehow predetermined.
I still couldnt help but feeel like I was missing something, and got lost on some of his explaination, wish I had exactly verbatim what the ARtitect had said written down!
cause some of that shit was hard to understand.
And you know what I get sick off the people no this site always having to prove thier IQ and just cant help but say things like "it was so easy to get" etc... whatever you people are so strange that you got to prove to everyone how smart you are all the time, and how this sceen was so easy to understand you your genius mind.
Just go away and let the rest of use lower life forms talk about this, can you?
I belive there is a IMMINENT, PRESSING NEED for this law!
I thought there used to be a LAW that allowed us to copy things we had purchased.
For years while I was a kid I used to tape radio stations for songs I liked, if I liekd it a bought the record. Used to make compilation tapes of albums I had bought and play them on long car trips, I know keep a MP3 collection of albums (about 95% is albums I have bought, about 50% id probally albums I have bought more than once!)
I used that MP3 collection to hopefully not have to buy the same album over and over, and I also copy them to CDs that allow me to put 12 Albums on one cd and play that cd in my car, this allows me to bring 10 cds with me and have around 120 albums with me in my car.
These things just make life easier and people been copying things for years, the record companies have never liked it at all, and always creamed bloody murder. The whole time I am handing them money they are fighting me to not make a copy of it. Once they get the technology to actully stop me from making a copy of a CD, Movie whatever they will abuse that right. The goverment should step in and protect our right as Consumers to use the digital data we purchase in a fair way.
I belive people will always be able to make copies but things like this hinder the real potential in the digital medium.
If I for one buy a CD from the small record lable you mentioned, they should be happy to let me make a copy for my car etc... I puchased that peice of digital data from them, and only want to use it in a more reliable and usefull manner.
Or maybe we should protect the companies right to charge us over an over, (most of us wont buy a copy for home and one for our car etc..) stopping us from using the data we did buy in a fair and more usefully way. Nah screw them protect me!
In a way I agree, I simply dont surf around like when I first got on the internet years ago.
I look something if I am interested, or come to slashdot and follow some articals, or maybe go to my favorit gameing website etc... Anyone looking just to browse around is asking for it anyway, and yes sometimes I have to deal with some popups also, and sometimes even sign up for a site to get a download or something (that is always irritating).
But most people think of the Internet as HTTP/HTML web browsing etc... I use the Internet for a whole lot more than that. Just the Idea that the Internet connects everyones computer/servers on one big network were we can share information and files is a big help and still very very usefull for me, and I think it will always be that way, no matter what this guy says. Email while full of SPAM yes is still a good way to say Hello send a picture etc to a budd, and I use it for work and would still rather handle requests via email than have someone pickup the phone interrupting me, I handle my email like a que of work I need to finish and work through them. I still like my email, even though I get alot of spam.
Damn thought I might finally get a first post!
Thats correct I think there is a way of recording named after the placement of mikes as if it were your ears, it is useually better to listen to it back in headphones i think. But if the 2 mics are placed in a way that they do pick up from different directions it does matter, and comes out sounding better and fuller than 1 channel. For years at live concerts I have seen people with stero boom mics etc...
No doubt, what admin would setup a firewall and allow access to the 130's fromt he whole internet anyway?
You would have to be brain dead. internal company workstations and servers would still work fine, but internet hosts would be blocked from access to this problem.
I know alot of people might not agree with this idea, in that you should have to run a firewall, But I firmly belive you should and only let services through the firewall you know need to be allowed. No matter what OS is running on the internal side of the network.
Firewalls can be a great source of information to see who is tring to do what also, all in one place, instead on on each local server.
