OpenBoot, its an IEEE standard, Sun and Apple use it, its user programable, and cool as hell. Thankfully I rarely use it though, our (production) sun boxes have been nearly flawless since I started. Playing with it at Sun Sysadmin I class last week was one of the neatest things I've done in awhile on a PC. Do any of the other Unix (HPaq, SGI, IBM) vendors use OpenBoot?
Yes my ILEC is a rural telephone co-op that was initally created with low interest loans from the US government to service areas that Bell (or CLEC providers like Covad) wouldn't touch with a 10' pole, so we do have a mandate to return our profits to the customer, the co-op members. There is no reason for Bell or Covad couldn't move in, they just would turn a profit quick enough for their shareholders.
On the flip side, Ma Bell bought the copper she owns, and the consent decree did not hand over the infrastructure to the US Gov't. The issue of rights of way are for all utilities to operate in, freely, Ma Bell can not stop the sewer company or power company from operating in the same public right of way. Since when does the gov't have the right to determine a fair profit for a company?
The consumer is always looking for a better price and/or convince a developer of a suburban area of a major city to use you as the Telco provider, expanding as resources allow.
If they want your service, you could get it done. Convince people your service is beter than Bell they will hound their officials to allow it or risk finding a new job.
1) Become a full-on Telco, Covad could pull it off if they tried.
2) Lay your own damn pipes.
Yes I work for a Non-Bell ILEC and frankly why should "my" infrastructure be used for someone elses profit. I wouldn't like it if Bell tried to bully their way into one of our markets, why should I be allowed to steal from them.
I wonder what would happen if the customs service, coast guard, and US Navy were brought to bear on the SE Asian copy houses, I bet a bunch of SEALs blowing up a CD copy factory would be kick ass.
Evidence please, Fritz and company are bought and sold by disney, Daschle is a pawn to the labor unions, and Edwards is a scum-sucking trial lawyer, where did Bush buy votes?
Just a prediction, Sen. Wyden's reelection fund isn't going to be as deep without the funding from Entertaiment lobby, 84% of their donations in the last election went to Dems, but if they don't play nice, I doubt that will continue. Thank Open Secrets for the info.
In 1995/1996, maybe, but let's face it, its a 2 horse race between IIS and Apache, and IIS has enough worms in its carcass to make you think its already dead.
Harsh but true, netscape 2, 3, and 4 were a real turds (standards, what standards?), IE 2, 3, or 4 weren't real winners either, but with IE 5 and 6 (and the dormant period where Mozilla was being rebuilt from the ground up), IE surpassed Netscape hard, and Moz/derivatives have a lot of ground to make up if it expects to become the dominant browser platform.
That was for the magnetic floor right, I would think that it would be a good idea to have an emergency switch that has a path to ground for a giant electromagnet that is holding crimanals to the deck, the lawsuits involved if the fire sprinklers went off would be serious bad mojo for the Gov't if they unintentionally electrocuted a bunch of terrorists, rapists, and murderers.
Yeah but it will keep the unarmed hordes from invading my food/water supply. For the Al-Queda, a boobytrap involving the battery supplies (imagine a 20'W x 12'H wall stacked with 12 volt lead-acid batteries) should do the trick.
Thats why you buy trucks that have a plain "radio-delete" option on the build sheet. If you are in the custom market, why pay for the upgraded model if you are rebuilding the car from scratch anyways.

Bell would never come to my street..."No profit", but my bank account says differently
The consumer is always looking for a better price and/or convince a developer of a suburban area of a major city to use you as the Telco provider, expanding as resources allow.
Check my post above, Bell wouldn't expand so Gov't grants were used to build other providers in rural areas (GTE, my telco)
My understanding is that Bell has X cost invested in a mile of copper, but they had to lease at Y cost to Covad, actually losing money in the process.

the (unconfirmed) rumours were he used powdered cocaine. He has admited to having a drinking problem, which he has since resolved.

What about the MSSQL guy, and the ActiveX/COM project in IE, and the Outlook/OE teams, they are responsible for tons of bugs too.
nope
Well my mom says I'm not fat, just big bonned, does that make it true.
language students, artists...Umm, we are above them, we actually do something productive.

NetBSD comes to mind, their motto is, have 32-bit processor, will port.
