Ahh...your going to argue with me here aren't you? Yes you are. I look forward to it. Think about it first though. No argument-just re-emphasizing that, until an ADSL hits the ATM network, it is "private"(a cable pair from the customer to the DSLAM...whereas,and I'll (probably not accurately) restate that most T circuits and OC(SONET) systems are sold and resold leaving a mass of varied customers on the same systems, I was not indicating that a person on a single timeslot going east,for instance, could intercept(or even monitor) another timeslot on the same,or any other system. Sorry for confusing you.
Actually, you need to study up yourself before making statements like you did. How is DSL a more private connection than a T1 or T3? It isn't. It isn't at all. A ADSL line is a point to point line that is dedicated to that customer from the Central Office where the DSLAM is.
DSL runs on a single cable pair to the customer prem. whereas a T1 needs to be broken back down(more often than not)/channelized. Don't pretend to lecture on how ADSL works in comparison to DS1's and the like.You haven't a clue.
I believe the author is referring to the fact that T-1/T-3 are not shared media, but point-to-point links. Not that they are for private individuals.
Incorrect...T-1, and on up...past OC-48 and beyond are not, by definition, private. An individual may have an ISDN on 3 channels of a T1, while a company has the rest....they can be broken up in many ways. So, you are incorrect. T1/T3 can definitely be "shared media".
"Our diverse network backbone truly makes CEC a 'smart alternative' to incumbent carriers in New York," Chief Executive Peter Rust said in a release. CEC already offers T1 and T3 services (private connections for high-speed Internet access) over its conduits and said it has 100 buildings on its network.
T1 and T3 are private connections? Don't think so. If Mr. Rust is referring to DSL services, then he may be correct, otherwise, he has no clue as to what his company is even providing. ADSL(average throttle *dnld* is approx 1.544 Mbps(T1) upload is not even close(around 300-600 kbps))-Also the cost differences for private DSL and business-grade DSL is tremendous. For ADSL=approx $80 depending on where you live, T1=A fractional T1 can cost you over $50 per 64k channel(24)and for full T1, you're looking @ $500-$1000 depending on provider options. Let's not even get into T3's(these day's, with so much fiber unlit, it's not unheard of to get an OC-3(3 Optical Channel T3's) for the price of a single T3. If I were you, I'd stick with Verizon, at least they know what they're selling.
Move to Georgia, establish permanent residence=become eligible for Hope grant(Hope scholarship is for those who graduated HS in GA). I have a family, full time job, but between the Hope and my GI bill, no worries, except I no longer have time to shower, sleep, eat and a few other trivial hobbies.
What really needs to be done is some true science and exploration. Stop all the speculation if you're not going to back it up...scientists my ass. Politicians(Congress) need(s) to quit holding NASA back(get their grubby paws out of the honey pot) and let them (NASA) go at it.
What's wierd about this is that whenever I, er, my friends go to pr0n sites, loads of windows pop up in much the same fashion as described in the article...heck, I, my friends I mean, think it's just more quality content than they truly deserve.
If you truly read "Scientific American"->you'd have read the article in the May 2002 issue in the "Innovations" section about a company called "Millenium Cell". They've come up with a clever fuel cell system utilizing Borax which reacts with a catalyst to produce the hydrogen needed. This combo makes it much safer to fuel up your vehicle or whatever else you're powering.
It seems to me, that if you truly enjoy what you do and are,indeed, proficient in your field->you're already on the right path. I'm a case-in-point to that very statement. I didn't even graduate H.S.(Overexaggerrated rebelliousness)-But, because I enjoy what I do, and am damn good at it, I bring in more than most college grads. The "Hot Job" is what you make it.
This really shouldn't bother you. After all, what do you have to say that's so important that we can't listen in?...I'd really like to know...corporate secrets, the location of the Fountain of Youth, your sore toe...Really, as far as the law goes- calls can be monitored for network QA purposes-NOT to exceed a set legnth of time-Not over one minute is the case @ the telecom I'm presently working for...That's in Voice Frequency mode- checking for signalling bits, levels, etc can be monitored indefinitely.
Being an ILEC network technician from a different company than Verizon, I've still got to give them a nod. Out of every wireless network provider that I've provisioned circuits, rings etc for, they have, by far, the most service going in, the best coverage and some damn good technicians to work with, sometimes a little impatient but can you blame them?
It's not "uber hackers" or Phreaks. It's simply a case of crappy service- Possibly an employee of Sprint(disgruntled)who had access to their switch translations network(CCS/SS7 links).

Instead of SETI RXing the signals and dispersing them to be processed and sent back- With something like this, dispersed "listening" stations could RX signals, process them, and send them on to SETI.
F/A-18's have had the ability of multi-source targeting for about two decades now. The Fire Control FLIR system mounted just below the starboard jet can accept inputs from any IR/Laser source operating within it's wavelegnth eg:special ops w/ "laser pointer", satellite w/ "laser pointer" or, the FLIR pod itself w/ a...you guessed it "laser pointer"...the pilot needn't even twitch his eyelash for any of this to take place...just fire away... Multi-target-tracking has also been handled quite well by this same aircraft for over the past decade and a half. By using vectoring techniques, the fire-control radar on an F/A-18 can track well over 20+ targets simultaneously and the tracking info is fed,live, into the targeting systems of the on-board armament...so..what's new?
Lessig: Well, that argument is only really framed in the context of Eldred. This case challenges the practice of Congress to systematically extend the terms of existing copyrights. Eleven times in the last 40 years Congress has extended the term of existing copyrights. And this is a practice which they've gotten into because copyright holders see great advantage to extending their copyrights, so that they continue to milk returns from their particularly successful properties.
I believe that the average technical competance or technological understanding of a US Congress-person is not yet up to par with the average patent/copyright seeker's. Hell, in my view, a degree in law is not a good base for deciding the technologies of the future and who/m gets the proper credit. Law has changed very little in the past few decades in light of all the technological advances that have taken place.
