If you're gathering evidence that relies on tone of voice to document wrongdoing there's nothing like a tape recorder. And if you're gathering evidence that relies on gesture and facial expression to document wrongdoing there's nothing like a pinhole camera.
In fact, digital video cameras is how the human rights abuses of the Taliban were first
documented by RAWA .
But pick your battles, carefully, kids. This isn't a contest to see who can be the most annoying to security people who are doing their jobs honorably.
However, there is one NZ ISP that's not only promoting wireless anarchy by allowing tunnelled static IPs over flat-rate DSL, but has set up their own 802.11b network in Albany. Despite their name, Win Internet are extremely linux-friendly.
Yes, after going on about "surfers" forever, they dismissively mention servers--dismissively, as if they don't really matter. What are M$ shills going to repeat? The "surfer" figure. What are people going to mis-overhear? That Linux is losing the *server* market. ( As if people looking to surf even know what a server *is*.)
Their use of two identical-sounding words is what makes it FUD.
That's the point.

Looks like we're going to have to turn to Wireless Anarchy
Pass the Pringles!
The sitrep for NZ can be found in the New Zealand ADSL mailing list archives and the situation is bleak indeed.
However, there is one NZ ISP that's not only promoting wireless anarchy by allowing tunnelled static IPs over flat-rate DSL, but has set up their own 802.11b network in Albany. Despite their name, Win Internet are extremely linux-friendly.
Again, I say: Please Pass the Pringles!

And why do we care about surfers rather than *servers* in the first place? Obviously people are MS shills.
Looks like to me that the choice of word "surfers" is intended to cast FUD on the real figures on Linux' and Unix *server* market dominance.
