I highly doubt it. The power of these jammers is low to start with not to mention he was inside a metal box. Maybe someone on a platform that they passed would have had a momentary signal drop but that's about it.
F the FCC anyway. Nothing but 2 bit thugs.
I have to agree with you. I rolled my own Linux router solutions for years but made the switch to Sonicwall two years ago. I deploy TZ-180s at all customer locations and set up a VPN tunnel to my NSA-240 where there virtualized server are located. Can this be done with Linux? Sure but buying the parts to build something the size of a TZ series costs nearly what it costs to purchase the TZ-180 (without the extended service agreement). I have enough 180s deployed that I keep a couple in stock as hot spares rather than spending the $ on the service agreements.
The best part is that clients are able to access their servers from home/on the road/etc with NetExender to a SRA Virtual Appliance. I think this is where Sonicwall really shines. The ability to install the NetExtender from a web portal with a couple of clicks saves me many hours of trying to walk a client through how to configure a vpn connection on their home computer. In addition the SRA supports Windows, OS X, Linux and iOS devices and the clients are all no charge. It's simple to configure a custom portal for each customer including bookmarks to file shares, rdp sessions, etc. And the best part is that the authentication for each portal is easily pointed the the customers DC's, a thing that Has always been a problem for me with Linux routers.
While I was not a fan of Sonicwall in the past I believe today they really provide a nice range of products at a reasonable price point.
My IP address usage would go back to how it was back in the early '90's where every customer had their own IP address. I don't even know if my ISP's could allocate me enough addresses today. Even if they could the monthly cost for the extra IP's would substantially increase my operating expenses which in turn would somehow need to be passed on to the customers.
My main repository is on my Mac Book Pro. It automatically backs up via Time Machine to a ReadyNAS NV+ every 15 minutes when I'm home.
The NV+ has a 2 TB WD MyBook drive on the front usb port. Once a month I press the little button on the NV+ and it dumps the array to the MyBook. I have two MyBook drives and I rotate one offsite every month. I think they ran about $180/ea. You can get the 1 TB ones for $99 these days. Got the NV+ off Amazon for $550 with two 7200 RPM 1 GB drives.
So for under $1000 I have a really nice NAS with multiple backups. Not a bad deal. Far cheaper than the Drobo's. I really wanted a Drobo but I could not justify the price.
I think your focusing a little too narrow. It's almost like supporting the argument that the Mac is still too expensive. At one point it was a very valid argument. Today not so much as long as you are comparing like products.
Wether or not a switch to a FOSS solution is viable or not really depends on the type of office. I agree that departments like Finance are not candidates at this point. However many call centers might be able to go this route. In my company we have a three person finance dept. However the customer service dept is 40 people strong. Our CRM system is web based and the only other need the CS group has is an office suite and the ability to generate pdfs. The switch was pretty painless. The Collections department is next which will net us another 20 or so users. Can we make this change with HR? Maybe, but it might not be worth it. They are still using the desktop payroll software. If ADP were eventually to force them to moving to the web then yes. Could I mandate such a change probably but I don't want to deal with the backlash. I pick and choose the battles. Bottom line is overall we have cut Windows desktop usage by over 70%.
As more apps go web or cloud based it's going to be possible to migrate more and more of them to a FOSS thin client type solution.
I personally believe once you are gone you're worm food but I don't force my beliefs on anyone else. I'm just saying that if you actually witnessed someone die of ALS I find it hard to believe you would want to stretch out your life if you contracted the disease. IMHO to do so would be much more selfish than giving up your organs and ending your life. I have a wife and two young children and I if available I'd take the organ donor option rather than to torture them over a slow demise.
Where I disagree with you is that making that decision is truly suicide. I guess we will see how the courts feel about it...
Many people in the ALS community do not believe that Hawking has ALS. Or is the most atypical case ever seen. Most people die within a few years of diagnosis.
Or would you rather give life to someone else and save everyone the immense heartache? Suicide is supposed to be a selfish act. This guys request to donate his organs is most definitely not selfish.
If you had the death sentence that ALS is you would not want to 'eek out as much time' as you could. Sure in the early stages up to the point where you end up wheel chair ridden you may feel so. You get the the point where your brain is functioning just fine but you no longer can control anything. Your family is helpless watching you deteriorate. They now spend all their time and money taking care of you.
I'd like to look into your eyes as you are finally suffocating because you no longer have muscle control and you can't breath anymore. At that point I'd like to know if you really thing the little extra life you eeked out was worth it.
Your right on the mark. I live in a affluent New England town with one of the highest rated school systems. I was disgusted with the school system this past year. This year in first grade we got a young (mid 20 yr old) teacher who did nothing but stifle creativity. When I asked about art and music she said that that's what the 'specials' are for. The specials are art, gym, library, music. They only do each one once a week. It was a really struggle to get through the year. I saw the spark in these kids eyes extinguished. Talking to the principal and superintendent of schools yielded no results.
Last year my daughter had an amazing Kindergarten teacher. One that has been around for 40 years. She constantly bucked the system by really focusing on creativity for the kids. And when they worked hard they were taken outside for extra recess or other activities. She ignored the principal and directives from the school and I tell you the kids that came out of her class are amazing. It's a shame that she is a rare breed these days and I fear the future generations will have no teachers like her....
I have been using Sage's Fundrasing 100 for the last 8 years. It is a decent product. However Sage is killing it off and hopefully migrating their customer base to their Millennium product. So far I'm not thrilled with Millennium but they are making changes to it to accommodate the functionality that FR100 users are accustom to. Something to look at as an option.
Another option is to look at GiftWorks. It is a good program for small to medium nonproftis. If you are on the large side of mediums it may not work well for you.
Citations? I've been deploying Plone sites for 8 years now. Plone was a giant step forward from doing it all in Zope CMS. I'm also not sure what you consider are huge resource hog? The only time I ever see even the slightest hesitation is when loading portal_view_customizations.
Customization is simple and these days doesn't require much if any modifications of the templates. It appears that you have not taken the time to use the product correctly or you wouldn't be slinging fud like that.
I think the GP is wrong. I'll bet you find that in most cases people are hooking back up with high school sweethearts or other long lost boy/girl friends. So these people are not "strangers". Still not excuse for unprotected sex though.
Was this even an article? I'm really surprised that there was no mention of the Telebit Trailblazer or AppleCat? Both extraordinary modems that I had the honor of owning.
Wish I had mod points right now. Finally a dead on post. This girl needs to understand the rest of the world is not like the US and her rights don't extend outside it's boarders. She's just lucky she didn't pull this BS in some third world country otherwise she may have just disappeared.

Or a lawyer?
Perhaps you need to read a little more carefully. The wiki article says approx 10,000 meters which is approx 30,000 feet.
My IP address usage would go back to how it was back in the early '90's where every customer had their own IP address. I don't even know if my ISP's could allocate me enough addresses today. Even if they could the monthly cost for the extra IP's would substantially increase my operating expenses which in turn would somehow need to be passed on to the customers.
And it requires a separate static IP address per certificate.

They already have table saws that do this: http://www.sawstop.com/howitworks/videos.php
Take a look at Saw Stop. A table saw that cuts wood and not a hot dog. http://www.sawstop.com/
You took the words right out of my mouth. Plone is one of the most expandable and extensible CMS's out there.

What states? Citation needed. I do not believe it's actually illegal in any state.
