The real news is that we in the US can’t control our spending, and we’re issuing bonds like toilet paper to fuel our entitled attitude. And, oh, if Apple didn’t buy these bonds, who would?
In Telecom, we always say to bury the fiber near the power lines. The reason is that when backhoe operators are digging, the saying goes, "If fiber's under there, dig carefully. If power's under there, call before you dig."
All it does is provide a tool to parents enabling them to throttle the sort of world their child is exposed to. Whether or not you agree that a parent should do this, it's not your decision on the matter. It's the right of that parent to control what their kid has access to.
I have to agree with this. As a parent, I would like the option of screening what I want my kid to watch and play. This would give more options to do that. Well said.

Good catch. I was taught about this flaw a few years ago in my first wireless class. I remember my teacher saying, "...and that's why you should never put a mission critical network on wireless."
It made sense to me, so I filed in the back of my mind and we went on. Wireless is the case that proves the rule of functionality over security.
Besides, need we get into the debate about exactly how big that arc would have to have been in order to contain two of every species on earth? Or that for a gentically viable population, you need around 10-20 breeding pairs (according to a genetics scientist friend of mine).
Not that this invalidates your argument, but more than two were taken:
Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
The real issue is that there isn't a 'killer app' for the home that would justify fiber to the home.
My ex-company has been trying for years to get investors to realize that putting HDTV to the home over IP is really the only way to go. This is the only 'killer app' in the near term that I can see. This company even had the digital rights figured out with studio contracts to prove it.
As you may know, coax and satellite won't handle a full channel lineup with HDTV. And, with Video over IP, you get all of the synergies one would expect: clicking on an ad to go to the company's home page, one-click buying directly from TV ads, etc. It's all there and implemented but isn't being funded due to the cable monopolies.

I totally agree. I've been taking earplugs to movies for some time. I thought I was "old" until I looked and saw that about half of the theatre had put napkins in their ears.

And?

I can attest that it works!
> respect is earned
I disagree with this. Respect is granted to you by someone else. You can never 'earn' it.
Have integrity. Be yourself. Do unto others as you'd have them do unto yours. Respect will then be granted to you.

Heh...Rule #1: Always have someone grammar check your resume':
Massage: (503) 287-XXXX
If you want a massage, give him a call?
One would think that even spammers would realize that if things go too far, businesses might not carry emails at all anymore.
I mean, even parasites usually try to not kill the host.
*sigh*

Some scientists are saying that there's already life on Mars because we sent it there.
Actually, this isn't quite true.

Now all those lonely cybergeeks will have to decide if they want to download p0rn or plug in the 'toys'. The inhumanity!
> I'm under the impression that Mr. Titor is actually a very talented science fiction writer.
I hope not. His spelling and grammar errors were horrible.
I used it on my last contract. 802.1x with WindowsXP SP1 works just fine. We used PEAP and Microsoft's IIS server for RADIUS authentication.
We wanted PEAP since it doesn't require manual certificates.
It took a lot of tweaking on the server, a small bit on the AP, but the client settings were just what you'd expect them to be.
I didn't try it with OS X (even though I used a Powerbook on the job). Take a look at http://www.mtghouse.com/
Per the message boards I've read, their client should work just fine.

Just like binary math! Who would ever use that?!
I liked it, but it sure was creepy! It still makes me sad for the character John Malkovic.
I wouldn't tell my 12 year-old anything. I wouldn't want to screw up meeting my wife (at age 29) nor having my son (age 34).
Things happen for a reason, which only figure out after the fact.
Did you see on http://www.internet2.edu/ that Internet2 was originally built by Al Gore? :)
And this differs from female non-geeks how?
I totally agree. I've been taking earplugs to movies for some time. I thought I was "old" until I looked and saw that about half of the theatre had put napkins in their ears.
Next time, I'm complaining to the management!
I've been watching the Smith and Wesson Cam for some time. (http://www.roughwheelers.com/montego/gun_cam.html )
So far, it hasn't killed anyone!
