In Lessig's story he calls WiFi a lemon , and says the online experience is poor for most users.
I think it is because AOL had 30+ million users.
Spam sucks but it does not deter me in the least.
Anything worth having is worth fighting for in my opinion.
The 7-11 want it now, with homer simpson simplicity, does not work well with the evolving creature that is the net.
The average (l)user does not want to "learn" they want it served to them, and do not want to download the latest plug-in or patch to make the newest coolest thing work.
Our society has become lazy, and I have worked with these "lazy" ppl as well, and they disgust me.
Looking for any excuse to shrug off something they should proactively take care of rather than reactively.
Ppl often spend twice the energy pissing and moaning about something, than the amount of time it would take a "informed" user to make it happen.
Back to WiFi, community Wireless LAN's where ppl share files, will take off.
Rural communities with "zero" broadband can take 2 strands of single mode long haul, and spray it from their water tower to their whole small town.
I am setting one of them up myself in a small town.
I am setting it up as a Coop, the more ppl that sign up the cheaper it gets because bandwidth is cheaper by unit as it increases.
A squid box to cache common sites, and monitoring to find abusers , and rate limiting thru QoS if it is needed.
A good BSD firewall to save shelling out a small fortune to Crisco.
An ATM PCI card to bring in the pipe.
This is happening in other places too, and will spread worldwide.
802.11b is not going to redefine the net, or the world, but it is going to make a super cheap last mile solution.
We will not free outselves of the long haul carriers for awhile, but bandwidth gets cheaper in bigger bundles.
Coop's bypass the corporate cash cow collectors.
www.cantenna.com is a sign of the changes to come.
With better antennas, it will go further than a mile too , Ex.: Grid Antennas.
Multiple yagi's pointing every 10 degrees, with sidelobe shielding will provide plenty of bandwidth.
After all the cell providers love to use water towers for their antennas.
As for Hillary Rosen, yes her being part of this is "ABSURD" and she should be booted to the curb.
Trying to dictate a countries laws prior to their own government is like saying we are writing your laws, and you can just carte blanche' them.... or else...
We get most of our oil from Canada, and Saudi Arabia is next, Iraq is not even in the top 5 providers of oil to the US.
If the Enviro-whack-o's would let us drill in Alaska on the northern slope's strategic petroleum reserve we would not need anyone's oil past the top 3 we import from.
Long term we need to put more than 1 billion into hydrgoen research, and Conoco is working on a process that turns natural gas to gasoline . It is their gas blender project.
Iraq has a VERY large untapped supply of oil that is undeveloped.
Of course I am sure you missed that in your VAST research.
Some of this had to do with liberation, but I agree, that is not the foremost motive , or else we would be freeing ppl in other nations long long ago.
Saddam and his OPEN & hidden support of terrorism are much more the reason for the war in Iraq.

I am all for them taking their business overseas and running it over there, no problem with that.
I am all for them bringing ppl over here and granting them citizenship because there is a REAL labor shortage.
What is really going on is temp workers from overseas being held hostage for long hours at salary jobs, and threatened with having their Visas pulled if they do not work hard and long hours.
You could say americans should put in 60 and 70+ hr work weeks for companies that are very likely to pull and Enron, Global Crossing, or Broadband Office on their workers, but with the jaded crapped on masses they are not gonna stand for it.

Yeah, I am a Redman, the one your ancestors took this land from.
On another topic I posted setting up Coop Wireless Networks to bypass the corporate greed structure that routes users thru one point of presence to save cash, but ends up with a cable modem network with dial up latency levels.
Equally Coops like the rural community could bypass the corporate structure.
You have to be careful in your barter system to not make a competing monetary system or you attract the attention of the treasury dept, and the IRS.
This is workable though, Coops have existed in the US for decades.
I think I am about to spend some time with google...
I think a sliding window of updates that follow each character is more practical than the old way that sent the twitch of every living thing down the UDP data pipe.
Dungeon Siege uses the sliding window of updates.
It is still not going to work that well for dial up, but that has more to do with Trace Routes and lag.
Asynchronous delivery of packets causes real time apps to be jumpy, high error rates due to retransmission too.
Analog is error inherent, broadband/baseband that is digital has MUCH lower error rates.
The POTS network for internet acccess was in my "opinion", just a work around.
Fiber to the neighborhood, and 802.11g to end user would provide every minor/major city good net access.
If this was 2 hops off the back bone, it would have blistering trace routes , and be good for gaming.
A purely optical core would assure this.
Cell phone providers use water towers a great deal in the mid west, this is workable for 802.11g too.
Ppl's post on here have talked about how US networks suck compared to the canadian counterparts.
Here is why...
Do a trace route to a friend in another city that is near you.
You will find the cable modem companies have routed all their data through just a few points of presence and it may be 20 hops added to the route, and have latency that is ridiculous for a network that is "supposed" to be fast.
If they had a honest point of presence in each city to the backbone I would not have to route all the way to kansas city like the rest of the midwest.
That was true even when I was on dallas, its pathetic.
This is all due to greed and cost cutting measures to "maximize profits" , and what they get is a piss poor product that is ridiculed online.
Ppl end up looking for a better product, one will arrive eventually.
I think communities need start their own network coop's , and bypass the cash cow corporates.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
Ppl with network knowledge far beyond my own will be required, but it CAN be done, and some US cities are already looking into this and setting up as a local utility.
For good gaming, you need a good trace route, you need as few errored packets as possible as most games use UDP protocol for their transmission method.
Thus why modem users tend to see ppl "teleport" in online games when moving about.
Use a network monitoring tool like neo-trace to track your trace route over time similar to a chart recorder.
There are better monitor tools to be had to be sure, but neo trace is decent for the poor folks.
I suppose you liked the Russian assasin list provided to iraq for ease of whacking western ppls ???

Of course you will dismiss this and say how we are going to bomb India.
Good grief, we are cooperating with pakistan and they ARE a hotbed of Islamic extremism.
The president of pakistan just happens to know that 9-11 pissed us off enough to collect a blood debt.
Also being that close to Afghanistan gave them a birds eye view of how it went down.
You can whine and moan and vote the Sore-Loserman ticket in 2004, and I wish you the best of luck.
We were close to a rapport with russia til this all took its course, and it is good thing we went into iraq and found out Putin is a lying double dealing back stabbing piece of crap.
France and Germany too for that matter.
I have little use for any of them.
I think we should stop the export of jobs outside the country, and I think all foreign aid to countries should be stopped or decreased dramatically.
Buying friends is not friendship at all.
We do not need "friends" like turkey.
Saddam's mistress tells of monies going to Osama from Saddam , imagine what went on that she did not know about.
H1-B and L1 visa program, It all gets better with L1 visas.
All they have to do is have a presence in the US and another country and they can import labor at UNLIMITED levels to the US.
This is NOT just the IT field , in fact a few insurance companies in connecticut have laid of US workers in favor of L1 visas from Eurasia.
This trend is going to continue , but here is the funny thing.
Most of these companies customers are americans, not ppl in Eurasia.
So they are going to enter a never ending downward spiral as they cut jobs in the US, ppl are going to spend less because they do not have a job . Thus this will EVENTUALLY cut into their profits.
The foreign labor meanwhile sends this money to a foreign market, after all that is where they live.
3 Step process - remove jobs from US, Send jobs overseas(import temp labor), outflow of funds overseas
So not only are you increasing unemployment, but money that was once earned then spent here is removed TOTALLY from the economy.
No amount of Tax cuts is going to compare to 4 million lost jobs averaging $40,000 a year for a round number.
That is 160 billion a year no longer earned here, and sent elsewhere.
It's one thing to lose your jobs to someone that will spend the money here, and another to lose it to someone that sends the vast majority of it home to Eurasia.
As this starts to impact the economy here and ppl spend less it will cause further layoffs, bankruptcy, and foreclosures.
Watch the housing market over the next 5 years.
The american companies are tagetting short term profit, and long term euthanasia in Eurasia.
When the count hits 10 million laid off americans, that will require 10 million new jobs, and will funnel 400 billion out of the country.
True those CEO's living in the lap of luxury will rake in huge profits in the short term, but it is long term suicide.
The TRULY terrible thing is your rep in congress either Dem or Repub supported this almost 100% in a vote AFTER the DOT COM BUST " began ", doubling the H1-b Cap.
I fit in that category, but I spent all my time working to pay bills.
Studying so I could get a better job so some day I could own a house which I hope to buy next month.
Here are some ideas for you:
#1 - Tidal float power generation.
It is in use in a milder sense, what I am talking is much more guargantuan.
Imagine a Oil tanker that is lifted by rising tide, and MANY cables got to hydraulic rams that are anchored and this lifting force is translated to hydraulic pressure then translated to electricity, and best of all the hydraulic pressure in theory could be stored in numerous pressure cylinders for off peak use.
#2 - All the sewer systems of the world could capture there methane gas and use it as a supplement to current power.
Once methane fuel cells are prevalent it is even more applicable , for countries with cheap readily available natural gas this may not be as applicable.
#3 - High Altitude launch platform held aloft by Enormous ballons similar to those made by 21st century airships.
Launching from 100,000 ft. up would save a fair amount of energy , and rail gun from that height might be able to pitch non G-force sensitive cargo/materials into space.
Consider it a poor mans verison of the proposed space elevator.
#4 - Gigantic Sunlight steam convection tower.
A solar powered steam generator that heats water and makes steam, and the steam is released to turn a turbine that is at the top of a VERY tall mountain , ie. 20,000 ft.+
The water is collected, and returned down the great height, but turns a water turbine at the bottom.
A steam power, gravity/water power cycle could keep it moving up and down the mountain
#5 - Blue Algae farms that make massive amounts of hydrogen by oxygen depravation, and feeding them sulfur.
Good source of sulfur is filtered diesel engine exhaust from bio-diesel.
other sources of sulfur from carbon based fuels could be used too.
I will grant you it is not coming up roses out there, but things are not as bad as some ppl are making them out to be.
As for HR I have feelings of undying resentment to some of the HR ppl I have met and seen abuse and missue their positions for personal gain, and under the guise of "for the company".
If you are a programmer you could be in deep $hit in more ways than one.
Their are some skills that are sought after right now, and some have gone cold.
Too many H1-b's, to many L1 visas too.
As for most of the work being contract, yes you are right, during times of crisis most new workers are contract.
It is what I have been working since the DOT BOMB BUST, and I make more now then I did before it happened, but I have held out for months for the good pay.
Right now I have enough saved that I quit my job and I am doing training full time.
Too many jobs being farmed out overseas, their are sweatshop Contract agencys that hire only Visa workers and cater to corporations that want to pressure the foreign worker to work hideous hours for salary.
A professor from UC davis norman matloff went to congress about it raising all kinds of hell, and has a website about it.
Ok, what are your certifications ???
What degree(s) do you have amigo ???
How many years of experience ???
ARE YOU WILLING TO RELOCATE ???
As for nay saying, and shooting down every comment I could possible post.
I don't blame you for being depressed, frustrated, and resentful.
You have already given up, and it is going to take someone other than me to get you to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and go back to battle the rat race.
I am no more fond of it than you, I have just reach acceptance if not grudgingly.
Did not know he was a citizen, thanks for clearing that up for me.
Secret tribunals I do support, and the reason is that the media and other sources leak the info and this alerts the others that are associates of this person that one of theirs has been caught and they need to adjust accordingly.
Do I like this ??? No, most definitely not.
Do I feel it MAY be necessary to completely wipe out Al-qaeda and their affiliate organizations.
I am afraid so.
To beat the Mafia down to a certain degree, the US had to use some underhanded tactics.
To beat Al-qaeda, and the other similar organizations world wide , much the same is MOST likely going to be needed.
What special insight do I have to this ???
I was working on the base in Cuba for a year, and have talked to numerous ppl there, and elsewhere.
I left 12feb2003 to come back to the states and finish several certifications.
If you want to call ph # 011-5399-4616 and ask if Duane is there, they will tell you much the same.
The step they took is definitely undesirable, but they feel the training Al-qaeda has been given is to specifically manipulate what we have in our freedoms.
I do NOT agree with all of the rhetoric that comes out of Ashcroft's mouth, and I do not like the man.
I like what Al-qaeda could do alot less.
You have no idea what goes on everyday they you hear nothing about, be it the US or overseas.
I wish there was a better way to deal with this problem, but with them targetting to manipulate it specifically we are hard pressed.
I worked on the base there in Cuba for a year, and they are NOT beating the prisoners.
This is more rhetoric, and disinformation.
Believe what you want, I was doing tech support there for a year.
The phone # is 011-5399-4616 to the office I worked in, call and ask if Duane is still working there.
I quit back 12 Feb 2003 to come back here and study for more certifications.
I did not know the person from Intel was a US citizen, but maybe that law they just passed to allow them to revoke citizenship is about to come into play.
I do agree we have done hypocritcal things, and we are the ONLY country in the world to do hypocritcal things, yeah right...
hypocrisy abounds, in myself, and I am willing to bet in yourself at some point in your life . Fear makes hypocrisy a little easier to swallow unfortunately.
Right now ppl are looking at any weakness to take advantage of to use to against us.
We need to be careful to not let the GOV go to far, but we also need to give them some leeway if they can present some cursory evidence to allow the case to be pursued as VALID threat to national security.
MP3's are not a valid threat, and some of the other coat tail add ons to all of this in the GOV.
If your friend at Intel is innocent he will be let go, as for the ppl in Cuba they are using other methods than physical violence to get the information.
In cuba over a dozen have attempted suicide for various reasons, one was that the method they use IS working so well there.

All they have to do is have a presence in the US and another country and they can import labor at UNLIMITED levels to the US
This is NOT just the IT field , in fact a few
insurance companies in connecticut have laid
of US workers in favor of L1 visas from Eurasia.
This trend is going to continue , but here is the funny thing
Most of these companies customers are americans, not ppl in Eurasia
So they are going to enter a never ending downward spiral as they cut jobs in the US,
ppl are going to spend less because they do not have a job . Thus this will EVENTUALLY cut into their profits
The foreign labor meanwhile sends this money to a foreign market, after all that is where
they live
3 Step process - remove jobs from US, Send jobs overseas(import temp labor), outflow of funds overseas
So not only are you increasing unemployment,
but money that was once earned then spent here
is removed TOTALLY from the economy
No amount of Tax cuts is going to compare to
4 million lost jobs averaging $40,000 a year
for a round number
That is 160 billion a year no longer earned here, and sent elsewhere
It's one thing to lose your jobs to someone
that will spend the money here, and another
to lose it to someone that sends the vast
majority of it home to Eurasia
As this starts to impact the economy here
and ppl spend less it will cause further
layoffs, bankruptcy, and foreclosures
Watch the housing market over the next 5 years
The american companies are tagetting short
term profit, and long term euthanasia in Eurasia.
When the count hits 10 million laid off americans, that will require 10 million
new jobs, and will funnel 400 billion out of the country
True those CEO's living in the lap of luxury
will rake in huge profits in the short term,
but it is long term suicide
The TRULY terrible thing is your rep in
congress either Dem or Repub supported
this almost 100% in a vote AFTER the DOT COM
BUST " began ", doubling the H1-b Cap
America for sale...SOLD...
They will reap what they sow, a bitter harvest.

I fit in that category, but I spent all my time working to pay bills
Studying so I could get a better job so some day I could own a house which I hope to buy next month
Here are some ideas for you
#1 - Tidal float power generation
It is in use in a milder sense, what I am
talking is much more guargantuan
Imagine a Oil tanker that is lifted by rising
tide, and MANY cables got to hydraulic rams
that are anchored and this lifting force is
translated to hydraulic pressure then translated
to electricity, and best of all the hydraulic
pressure in theory could be stored in numerous
pressure cylinders for off peak use
#2 - All the sewer systems of the world could
capture there methane gas and use it as a
supplement to current power
Once methane fuel cells are prevalent it is
even more applicable , for countries with
cheap readily available natural gas this
may not be as applicable
#3 - High Altitude launch platform held aloft
by Enormous ballons similar to those made
by 21st century airships
Launching from 100,000 ft. up would save a
fair amount of energy , and rail gun from that
height might be able to pitch non G-force
sensitive cargo/materials into space
Consider it a poor mans verison of the
proposed space elevator
#4 - Gigantic Sunlight steam convection tower
A solar powered steam generator that heats
water and makes steam, and the steam is released
to turn a turbine that is at the top of a
VERY tall mountain , ie. 20,000 ft.+
The water is collected, and returned down the great height, but turns a water turbine at the bottom
A steam power, gravity/water power cycle could keep it moving up and down the mountain
#5 - Blue Algae farms that make massive amounts of hydrogen by oxygen depravation, and feeding them sulfur
Good source of sulfur is filtered diesel engine exhaust from bio-diesel
other sources of sulfur from carbon based fuels could be used too

If you follow the $$$, you OFTEN find the truth
It is very much akin to Limbaugh's version,
and I listen to Rush too
Don't agree with everything he says, but
I like him far better than shall we say....
Tom Daschle ???
I think rush has a good sense of humor and
a tendency to cut ppl off, but by and large
he is right more than he is wrong
This will give a slight insight into who
I am in my head

out there, but things are not as bad as
some ppl are making them out to be
As for HR I have feelings of undying
resentment to some of the HR ppl I have
met and seen abuse and missue their positions
for personal gain, and under the guise
of "for the company"
If you are a programmer you could be in
deep $hit in more ways than one
Their are some skills that are sought
after right now, and some have gone cold
Too many H1-b's, to many L1 visas too
As for most of the work being contract,
yes you are right, during times of crisis
most new workers are contract
It is what I have been working since the
DOT BOMB BUST, and I make more now then
I did before it happened, but I have held
out for months for the good pay
Right now I have enough saved that I quit
my job and I am doing training full time
Too many jobs being farmed out overseas
their are sweatshop Contract agencys that
hire only Visa workers and cater to
corporations that want to pressure the
foreign worker to work hideous hours
for salary
A professor from UC davis norman matloff
went to congress about it raising all kinds
of hell, and has a website about it
Ok, what are your certifications ???
What degree(s) do you have amigo ???
How many years of experience ???
ARE YOU WILLING TO RELOCATE ???
As for nay saying, and shooting down every
comment I could possible post
I don't blame you for being depressed,
frustrated, and resentful
You have already given up, and it is going
to take someone other than me to get you to
pick yourself up and dust yourself off
and go back to battle the rat race
I am no more fond of it than you, I have
just reach acceptance if not grudgingly

clearing that up for me
Secret tribunals I do support, and the reason
is that the media and other sources leak
the info and this alerts the others that
are associates of this person that one
of theirs has been caught and they need to
adjust accordingly
Do I like this ??? No, most definitely not
Do I feel it MAY be necessary to completely
wipe out Al-qaeda and their affiliate
organizations
I am afraid so
To beat the Mafia down to a certain degree,
the US had to use some underhanded tactics
To beat Al-qaeda, and the other similar
organizations world wide , much the same
is MOST likely going to be needed
What special insight do I have to this ???
I was working on the base in Cuba for a
year, and have talked to numerous ppl there,
and elsewhere
I left 12feb2003 to come back to the states
and finish several certifications
If you want to call ph # 011-5399-4616
and ask if Duane is there, they will tell
you much the same
The step they took is definitely undesirable,
but they feel the training Al-qaeda has been
given is to specifically manipulate what
we have in our freedoms
I do NOT agree with all of the rhetoric
that comes out of Ashcroft's mouth, and
I do not like the man
I like what Al-qaeda could do alot less
You have no idea what goes on everyday
they you hear nothing about, be it the US
or overseas
I wish there was a better way to deal with
this problem, but with them targetting to
manipulate it specifically we are hard
pressed

year, and they are NOT beating the prisoners
This is more rhetoric, and disinformation
Believe what you want, I was doing tech
support there for a year
The phone # is 011-5399-4616 to the office
I worked in, call and ask if Duane is
still working there
I quit back 12 Feb 2003 to come back here
and study for more certifications
I did not know the person from Intel was
a US citizen, but maybe that law they just
passed to allow them to revoke citizenship
is about to come into play
I do agree we have done hypocritcal things
and we are the ONLY country in the world
to do hypocritcal things, yeah right
hypocrisy abounds, in myself, and I am willing
to bet in yourself at some point in your
life . Fear makes hypocrisy a little
easier to swallow unfortunately
Right now ppl are looking at any weakness
to take advantage of to use to against us
We need to be careful to not let the GOV
go to far, but we also need to give them
some leeway if they can present some cursory
evidence to allow the case to be pursued
as VALID threat to national security
MP3's are not a valid threat, and some of the
other coat tail add ons to all of this
in the GOV
If your friend at Intel is innocent he will
be let go, as for the ppl in Cuba they are
using other methods than physical violence
to get the information
In cuba over a dozen have attempted suicide
for various reasons, one was that the method
they use IS working so well there

There are 30,000 middle eastern men in the .

US who have had their Visa's expire
Some have been rounded up, most have not
Out of 30,000 how many do think might be
of questionable association ???
1% ???
If so that would be 300 people, not just one
I tend to think that ALOT more than 1% have
hate for america but work here to send money
back to their country of origin
Some support terrorists, some do not, I have
no idea how many, and guess what neither do you ?
This visa worker may or may not be guilty,
but they are not going to give a non-citizen
the rights of a citizen
They came across a piece of information that
made them want to take this step, they may
be wrong, they may be right
You have zero proof in either direction
You are just showing your liberal bias
Bush does spew rhetoric, and Ashcroft is a loon
I still support their desire to round up the
scab labor here that is funding hate in the
middle east
I am willing to bet we do not even catch
half of them
