Yeah and while you're busy doing that futile task, here's another one: ask Bill Gates to reconsider his monopoly and opensource the windows code. Oh and ask God for world peace.
I think I smell an Uplink player here. In reality, you can't spoof, ANI will show your originating phone number and that number gets bounced around with each successive call. It is true, however, that starting a few conference calls, chaining them together, then calling Sears, explaining that you're new in Automotive and you need the operator, getting a dialtone, and continuing the chain of calls can slow things down a little.
I sorta feel your pain, my brother lives in a rural community in southern IL, and he can't get dsl or anything there because Verizon is worthless. A town 10 miles away has DSL everywhere, and it's actually a smaller town. Such is the fickleness of broadband providers.
If I had the capital I'd invest in FarmNet or something similar. I wonder why nobody has thought about this seriously before. Maybe it's not economically viable, but I can almost guarantee it's cheaper than laying fiber and new cabling for traditional wired broadband.
I've done some cable work in my time, and rj60 quad shielded coax, buried or aerial, has a tendency to lose about 1Db per 55'. A little more robust, inexpensive and extremely resilient. Might be a good thing to use for projects like this.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Nextel is only available in a few areas. Their coverage basically sucks at this point in time. If it were Sprint, that'd be a different story...
I wouldn't call using a coil stealing. After all, this is normal loss that's otherwise just bled off into the atmosphere. If the sun was a commodity, would using a solar panel be considered stealing as well? If the gas company had a serious leak nearby and you patched into the leak, it follows the same theory. Kind of a gray area I'd say.
Hmm, I've never seen windows or macos tell anyone that their hd is failing, it's just a big surprise when their box won't boot. Many times there is flaky hardware barely running in windows that can lead to hd corruption and other nasty things, or bad ram, and linux will be sensitive to it (i.e. crash X, won't initialize the bad hardware). I'd rather have a piece of hardware not work rather than work hobbled and take out my entire partition.
Linux will tell you if the admin of the server you're on is about to reboot. Have you ever typed halt and watched the broadcast across all the current connections? Probably not.
Think before you rant, it helps with the consistency of your argument.
Is it just me, or is it that everytime we get a republican president, space funding gets slashed and defense spending gets a huge boost? Why does our nation always get warlike and defensive when a republican cons his way into office? I guess this is great if you work for a defense contractor...
I said 'some organizations' to avoid the trolls but evidently you took the bait. Head to netcraft or your favorite polling site and see how many boxes are running Apache on linux vs. IIS on NT. Also note that IIS isn't automagically activated in XP like it was in 2000.
Check your links. There was not one single Windows server listed, they were all IRIX, FreeBSD or BSD. Personally, the uptime on my apache box serving 6 real domains is 96 days.
O contraire, monfrair. QuakeIII did extremely well, and continues to do so, through mods and extensions. Granted, Team Arena didn't get my dollars but excellent mods like Urban Terror breathe new life into the whole CTF/DM experience. CounterStrike seems primitive by comparison.
The mandrake 2.4.8-24 and 2.4.8-36.1, as well as 2.4.17mdk kernels are NOT bloaty. Rather than compile support for various things in, modules get built and can be inserted/removed when needed. They're super flexible kernels because nearly any oddball device with kernel module support can be loaded up without recompiling the kernel.
I've recompiled 2.4.17 and 2.5.2 myself, and let me tell you, it's hard to match Mandrake's choices for size and flexibility.

They could be very repressed.

Has anyone considered that these sharks are gay?

There's another way...infrared line-of-sight infrared lasers between your building and another one nearby.

Sucks to be you guys :) Lubbock has had Cox @Home since ...well...May of 2000.

Great, what about the hd meltdown you mentioned? Funny how that was conveniently missing from your heated response.

Why was this modded to insightful? This is about the same as a large mainframe in most big expensive corporations...if the mainframe is down, poof.

I guess the NT in NTBugtraq stands for "Not True".
Linux has a greater server marketshare (apache, etc.) in some organizations so I believe your point is moot.

And as a special bonus, the hand will feature Real Kung Fu Grip.
Maybe he should be called CowboyMeal.
Come on now, did you guys leave your sense of humor at home today? That was damn funny.

Who said anything about no root password for network connections? What are you talking about?
