That's HORDE you've got to do the legwork of setting up your LAMP (Postgress and IIS also supposedly work, YMMV) server up correctly, but the apps themsleves are powerful and easy to use.
I was going back to the NYNEX/Bell Atlantic merger with GTE and some other telcos back in the 90's. Could you have bid on any of those markets, yes, did you try when Verizon sold some markets to Alltel, no, well sorry, you've had your shot at the market.
The thing is, the whole concept of the exclusive use of cable plant isn't going to matter in 5-20 years. WiMAX (or some related technology) + IPv6/IGMP multicast groups will mean you just have to lease your OC-x's to a single CO/Cable Headend in a central location and then broadcast wireless internet/IPTV/VoIP over leased spectrum. In urban markets there is enough dark fiber that you can grow out your cloud with OC-768 to the repeaters, but this isn't a necessary requirement.
each video channel should be 1920x1080i @30fps 32 bit color, that right at a gigabit
1 Tbps is all that's needed for 500 channels of video + data and phone for a major metro area, assuming you can afford to terminate and lease those 192's for your pipe back to the internet proper and have a good enough sat array to get all those video channels muxed into your cloud.
Bzzt wrong, Ma Bell (and GTE and the Rural Telco's) retained ownership of all cable and switch plant. Local governments may have placed incentives to bring phone service to an area (waiver/transfer of franchise fees), but it that any differnet than giving the new widget factory a tax break for bringing new jobs to a community?
Actually you do click yes, on the purchasers first boot of a dell these days, it steps you through several screens before ever droping to the welcome screen, including one where you must accept the windows EULA. Nut sure about the other OEM builders, but that's how the biggest does it.
I realize that Click-wrap and some of the terms of that contract may be struck down, but someone is going to have to win that battle in court first.
fairtax is a US initiative to replace the income taxes (and Social Security/medicare/medicaid/unemployment) and replace them with a 30% Retail sales tax. The key is it is actually a progressive tax, there is a monthly "prebate" check for taxes on spending up to the federal poverty level, so a family living below poverty level is getting extra money, right at the poverty level you pay 0 tax, and then the effective tax rate climbs up to the maximum 30% when all expenditures are done through the month. This tax is only done at the retail level so business inputs aren't taxed and some proponents would like to see the tax applied only to new goods, so used cars and homes would be completely tax free (I don't think those provisions will survive, but we'll see). It's a good deal IMHO, our tax code is too large and unweildy with too many loopholes for the powerful.
As for fears of depressing consumer spending, most workers take-home pay will increase 15-30% + the prebate ammount, so the gain/loss of dollars to spend should be negligible.
EU VAT's wouldn't be that out of line if your politicans had follwoed up on their promises to reduce/eliminate income taxes. Thats why the fairtax (US national sales tax proposal) has the elimination of income taxation as a prequisite for inplementation. I'll be more than happy to trade my federal payroll/income taxes for a 30% rate ($100 purchase, $130 after taxes)
I thought senator and US rep elections were being bought with out of state soft money, At least that's all I heard in my states congressional races last year?
I've come to the conclusion that the president should personally call out the offending pork loader when he vetoes the bill. Post on the white house website what a moron senator X is for ruining a good bill. If we've got 50 24 hour news channels, why not put them to use for ridculing politicians.
Try watching the elvis movies from the 50's and 60's, same concept, except Justin and Kelly don't have the drug problems that Ms. Carrey or the king had.
Why do you need httpd? Those ics files are going to be transfered over port 80 anyways, why bother rolling your own "calendar server" when apache + modDAV gets the job done right.
You are crazy, AT&T (and GTE and all the mom and pop phone companies in the rural areas) did the inital buildout of their copper and retain ownership of that plant. They do pay franchise fees and taxes for use of public right-of-ways, but the copper plant (and switches etc) are all owned by the local ILEC.
That deadline was pushed back by the FCC, IIRC its June 30 2006 now, but donm't hold me to it.
That being said, I want a Hauppage HDTV card on a PCIe 1x slot. The 350 is the gold standard amongSD tuners but they don't have an HD product and the number of PCI slots on new motherboards is shrinking quickly.
On the telco side I'm seeing some of our apps being moved for solaris 2.6 only or solaris 8 only to 10, but its early and a lot of telco vendors branched out to SLES or RHAS since 8 was released. I'll be so glad to finally offline our last Solaris 2.6 boxes, they've served us well but they can be a bit of a pain to keep patched properly.
Quit buying oil and they quit "gouging", but keep in mind you need to swear off plastics and synthetic clothing as well. Break out the all metal and natual rubber bike or prepare to toughen up your feet.
It is when you are fighting an non-uniformed non-regular army. I prefer the old rules of war, if you are in civies and caught, you must be a spy. Spies were then tortured for what info they had then field executed.
Contrast that with our current system where our inteligence services house clothe and feed you until you are released back to your home country, from there you are allowed to start shooting at US servicemen again and you get another round of spa treatement at GITMO.
Yeah but there are ton of Carter appointees on the fed circut level, it was just dumb luck he didn't get any SC appointments, but he kind of got shafted by the gap of FDR expanding the SC in 36 and Ike appointing 4 judges as their replacements.
Limited government vs. none, its that simple. You may not like the DMCA, I may not like the Brady Bill, and someone else might not like the defense of Marriage act, none of those 3 would exist if our governemt was run by strict libertarians, but unlike a anarchist system, we would still have roads and a military.
Speaking of stripping parts, I've seen 24x400Mhz E10000's going for under 20K, each one of those procs goes for about 4K apiece on the loose parts market, so you can upgrade a few slower USII machines quickly and cheaply on the processor side, memory is still outrageous though.
and you can get tha bastards for cheap these days, $7000 out the door with a qfe and 20 36 giggers from most gray market vendors. They're loud and chew a ton of power but if you buy a empty 450 chassis for 2K and a pile of 146GB scsi drives (425/per on pricewatch), you're looking at a > 2.5TB raid 5 array plus a box powerfull enough to still run just about any site out on the net, all for ~6000. Slap in a couple of QFE's and compile samba and you have a monster file server for your users on the cheap.

What gave you the right to use the copper verizon bought fair and square on the open market?

read your windows eula buddy, or be ready to defend your rights under it it in a court of law.

Except microsoft blindly sends an Accepts: */*, so you get down to javascript browser sniffing solutions which are buggy as hell.

Just like 80 million of us weren't using the 2nd? It's been trampled far more than the 4th.

The 400GB drives have only been available for a year, the 450 fileserver trick has been doable, pretty much at that price point, for 4 years now.

You must have missed that new 8 way Tyan opteron board, sweet jesus I want one and a 7800 (no SLI on this board for some reason).
