The fact that the mac address is only accessible from one subnet is irelevant. You can't do anything with the sim card, either.
So sim card still same as mac. IP still the same as the telephone number.
Now, back to the point, should people be able to take their ip with them, as they can currently do with their phone number. Perhaps, and perhaps with the same restrictions as per telephone numbers, within small geographic boundaries. Countries in the case of phone numbers, and buildings in the case of ip.
So if you're staying in the same co-lo, but switching providers, then yes you should be able to move.
So as an employer you'd like to limit what personal effects people bring into work.
How about beards? Hair cuts? What other things that have no bearing on work would you like to take control of?
I'd be happy with a company that says I can't listen to my mp3 player at work. I'd not work for a company that says I can't listen to an mp3 player on my way to and from work.
Perhaps lockers would be an answer.
so you can put all your prohibited items in a locker before entering work.
Actually, since you can move your number from one telco to another, it being routed through one telco or another is not the issue.
The sim is exactly like a mac address, you say that mac addresses don't travel through more than one subnet. So can you explain why my wireless card has probably had 150+ ip addresses over the last 6 months, very few in the same subnet.
If you don't think you have shit if you have someone's mac address, then I suggest you go back to network basics and look at arp. http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gorry/course /inet- pages/arp.html
So you admit that you can phone your phone from anywhere in the world, and in the case of a mobile, receive calls anywhere in the world (signal and roaming agreements aside).
Ok, so how about talking about this bit where you're wrong then.
"Your analogy is also poor It is more accurante to say that the sim is more like the mac address, in that different IP addresses can point to different mac addresses, and indeed, more than one phone number can be used by the same sim. Same as more than 1 ip per mac address"
Nope, I can phone my number from anywhere in the world. What the parent is missing, is that a complete phone number, includes the +44 for example international prefix.
Also, I think you will find that the call from a cell in the US to a +44 number in the same cell will only talk to the local cell. Billing info aside.

Correct, it's not Free, it's more as in compatible, and works as well on Linux or Freebsd.
We must remember M$ may make a lot of software that sucks, however they also make some good software. They've not really had enough time to break Visio yet, and Project, for what is does, is a good tool.
It syncs with most things, no lets rephrase that, most things sync with it. Phones, pda's etc, all will come with some way on syncing with outlook. Until all the Ximian's etc, can say the same, people will want to use Outlook. The other reason is group calendaring, there are alternatives to Exchange, but getting big corporates to move to them, is another matter. Getting small company's who already have a license for exchange 2000, to move to xxx product, which is going to cost them money, and can't be shown easily to offer real world benfits, is REALLY difficult.
Same with Project, same with Visio, same with SolarWinds Engineers tool kit, now I'd love open source versions of these, especially the last (and no, nmap and mrtg don't quite do the same) then I can use FreeBSD or Linux 100% of the time.
I mean it's not like they just got a new version out is it (5.0), one that works with SMP and threads now, oh and had time to revamp the stable one, (4.8)
Of course it's dieing, and everyone is going to swith from Windows to Linux on the desktop this year too, every new device that comes on the market are going to provide linux drivers, and news just in, MS Office XP for Linux is going to be released.
For ssh sessions, web browsing, email and downloading a reasonable number of iso's 128k is fine.
I used to have a 1 meg connection, untill I realised that I wasn't using it. Most p2p stuff is limited by the other persons u/l limit which is 128k for a lot of people and 256 for most of the rest. If you want to d/l every new distro every week, or you want to cvsup every single day, then you might notice a problem with 128k, but with 2 of us working from home we don't.

You mean I should give up my mouse and keyboard, as it's got MS on it?
Also consider the fact that by buying an Xbox and no games, you are probably costing MS about $200..

Yeah of course, MS selling a £200 Xbox that is the equivalent at least of a £400 PC is a bad thing.
MS will make the money on the Games, same as Sony, if everyone bought xboxes and no games, MS would stop the xbox, same as Sony would stop the PS2..

If people really want every IP to be portable, then they can do it. However, the cost to all the ISP's will be huge.
However, it might be cheaper to move to ipv6.
Nah, they'll pay the money and stick with ipv4 won't they...
I'll take a look at it, thanks.
I assume this is the puppy.

Fast video editing? Large Databases?
I don't, I need a large amount of reliable storage, so that's why I went IDE.
On the IDE vs Scsi, I'll give you higher rpm, but this doesn't translate to huge performance advantages.
Caches, given that I've seen 8MB on ide, and can only find 2MB on scsi, that's 1 all.
Warranteed for longer, I can find 3 years on both.
As for reliability, a scsi drive has to be about 4 times as reliable as an ide, as I can buy 4 ide drives for the same price as scsi.
Of course, if you want real speed on your root drive, then mount it on a ram drive, and put ups in place.
Correct, it's not Free, it's more as in compatible, and works as well on Linux or Freebsd.
We must remember M$ may make a lot of software that sucks, however they also make some good software. They've not really had enough time to break Visio yet, and Project, for what is does, is a good tool.
So where are the paid for Linux versions of Project, Visio, and Network engineers toolkit?
I'm not wanting "Free" as in no money, I'm wanting, running, as in on Freebsd or Linux.
Subtle difference, probably a little too subtle for you.
That page is a little out of date, and also missed the point somewhat.
My setup is 6 Hotswappable 200GB IDE Drives on a promise controller.
I can have 1 drive fail, and replace it at my leisure, without the machine going down.
2 drives fail, and I run in degraded mode, until those 2 are replaced.
In neither case has the system lost data, or had to stop.
Cost approx 1000 for 800Gb of Raid 5 storage.
Similar scsi cost would be approx 4000.
Now, if you need to be 10% faster for 3000, you go for it. But for quick, *REPLACEABLE* storage, ide is fine.
The reason people still use Outlook, is multiple.

Confusing for people that assume everything centres around their own country you mean?
That is the question...
Of course, you should look for that in any programmer, not just open source.

Some of them.
Does your web cam work as a digi cam too?
If so, which one?
Your MP3 player, it will hold more than 5GB of mp3s?
If so, which one?
Does your pda use USB? Is it less than 3 months old?
If so, which one?
Whilst the applications are part of it, Drivers are another big part.
Although the sitation is getting better, how many of the nice lastest toys have a linux equivalent?
Windows Apple Linux
Creative Zen - Ipod - no 5gb+ mp3 players
Web cam go - Web cam go - no drivers
Bluetooth - VG Bluetooth support - ??
It would be nice if RH/Debian/IBM someone would sign the NDA's with Creative/Adobe/Whoever to get the drivers out for linux as well.
It would also be nice to have a collective
" I would have bought your device but it doesn't come with drivers for my OS"
or a
"I bought your deivce because you have linux support"
In no particular order...
1 netfilter (firewalling)
2 hotloading/unloading device drivers
3 software raid
1/ Windows does this.
2/ Windows does this with scsi/usb/firewire
3/ Windows does this.
Next.
Of course it is.
I mean it's not like they just got a new version out is it (5.0), one that works with SMP and threads now, oh and had time to revamp the stable one, (4.8)

It depends on what you are doing.
