    I'm intrigued by your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter... No seriously, I would.

    If you virtualized everything and ended up with more hardware and worse reliability, you're doing something wrong.

    Oops, that would be 900/1700/2100.

    If anybody has info on whether ATT will pull the same thing with this phone as they did with the Nexus One and start charging people using it on their slow edge network the "smart phone data rate" it would be appreciated.

    It's triband (850/1700/2100) HSPA so you should have 3G on both T-Mobile & AT&T.

  6. Re:Oh, bullshit... on Internet Routing, Looming Disaster? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In a nutshell, that's pretty much the problem and the solution.

    Tier 1 providers pretty much have no choice but to accept any update from other Tier 1s because they could each legitimately have routes to pretty much any network. It is also each of their responsibilities to make sure they don't get any bunk routes from downstream. One weak link, the chain breaks and, and everyone suffers. Obviously you wouldn't (shouldn't) be accepting a zero bit mask route from anyone; but besides the basic idiot proofing, you have to put a lot of faith in your peers, and their ability/diligence.

    What the hell are you complaining about. You only support 45 users and you are bitching about making $40k? I am the only System/Network administrator for 250 users, in 6 locations spread out across the us. And I only make $45k.

  11. Re:It isn't already paid for? on Finnish Taxi Drivers Must Pay Music Royalties · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The royalties for the public performance have already been paid by the radio station. So why should the cabbies have to pay them again? Its not a replay of a broadcast, its the origional broadcast. This makes no sense whatsoever.

    The same thing goes for playing the radio in a restarant or other business. They are trying to doubble dip, and collect royalties along every step of the way. What, are they going to start charging per ear that is listning to the music?

    It would be like having to pay Federal income tax, then state tax, and then a local tax... Oh wait, we already do that... Nevermind then, it must be a great idea.

    to anybody that has a hotmail account? My account has been unusable for the last three years or so du to the huge volume of spam.

    And its not always due to the actions of the account "owner", you must have forgotten about Outlook Express giving out your email address to any websie that asks for it. That hole was open for what, like a year, before it was patched.

  15. Re:It wasn't new on Hot-Rod Your CD-RW Drive · · Score: 1

    Actually they still do this with their low and mid range servers. They will just slap say 16 processors in the box, and only enable the ones you want to pay for. Then you can just call in when you want to upgrade. I guess its cheeper that way.
