that was a TAC rep,l not a CCO rep, BTW, who forked over the IOS files..:)
I dont exactly think that they tought my 2524s and 2620s and 1600s were anywhere near new.
no, I didn't use any fraud or deception. I just asked my CCO (we have a contract on only 1 router that we got new from UUNet) rep if it would be possible to get the following software (list) for my routers, in order to update my routers and bug fix them, mainly since they couldn't tell what IOS releases I had because the previous owner renamed all the.bin files. IN FACT, I TOLD them that I was probly getting some free upgrades AND that these routers were bought 2nd hand. Hell, I even thanked the guy for the IDS and Firewall software, and filled out the comment form giving him great review.. J I think they were so hammered that a nice voice for once just got more than the previous guys who were bi#ching at them.
during the recent Big bug, I went around to all my routers, all of them used. I requested the top IOS with the best feature set for what we use each router, for each and every router, and know what? Cisco gave me.bin files for all of them. Since these came directly from Cisco, aren't these now arguably licensed?
put a fence up. Keep the car locked and un movable with a set of locks. This would limit the chances of injury and provide a 'reasonable effort' defense.
ya, but they make you use less kilos of batteries so you don't leave the lamers with old-tech batteries in your dust. With a properly designed LI-POLY batteries EV, you would be going 65 all the way and end the race in 1/4 the time the slow poke old school solar cars do.
The problem I have for this race is that it allows for very little innovation. Storage of energy via flywheels overnight is prohibited, you are limited on how many batteries you can store, what type you can use, and how you use them. You are prohibited to use any solar nighttime charging, star-light or IR charging, or any other innovative way to charge during off time, as your battery box has to be removed at the end of the day and impounded. You are also limited of which type of solar cell you can use. New processes for solar cells have been invented and are in current commercial production that make it much more efficient per sq foot, but you are limited to using old cut-wafer solar cells that have been around for many years. There is one company making contueous ribbon cells (the 'wafer sheet' is drawn from a solid chunk into a ribbon similar like fiber optic glass is drawn into a string from a solid rod) that would be much better suited to the dimension of a car, but you cant use any of that modern technology. This race if more of a contest of who can make the lightest car body and go the furthest on X amps of battery and solar cells, rather than who can make the best solar technology automobile.
I use modern design light bulbs that last just about forever and give off 75 watts equivalent of light for 15 watts actual power. No, I DON NOT use the same light bulb.
Add to that, poly foam technology has improved as well over the last 20 years.
I wonder why they don't just wrap the tank it a Mylar wrapper to keep it all together?
no, I buy bottled drinking water because I get about 8 notices a year from our water co that they found something in the water that can kill/make sick/damage kids and old people. While I am nether, if it can hurt them, it cant be good for me!
we have a 'civ' model of Germen Summit GPS. It has survived over a year of constant abuse in our tool box, and has been dropped off 3 different towers that were over 100' tall. Then we dropped it off our main tower, 500'. The batteries popped out and went somewhere but it still works! Made a big THUD and slight crater in the ground....
I love working with a wISP, its sooo much cooler than boring old regular ISP work...!
sorry, but IP6 will never take off as an addressing system till Microsoft includes a full stack, installed on a NIC by default, with Windows . Till then, I wont be getting to excited by ANY development for IP6.
my Via 800mhz machine has a micro fan, a compact mini-ITX black case (about the size of a small pizza box) and decodes video just fine. I use windows XP pro on it. It also displays pictures well onto a TV, as well as being a video playback system. Building this system let me catch up on all the shows ive been missing by working too much!!! (that and bearshare!)
Pure B.S. Cars using NiMh batteries were much lighter and got 200-300 mile range, similar to a gas car. the automakers only ever introduced Led Acid Flooded Cell batteries based EVs as a way to play to the environmentalist groups and to grab the fed $$ they were awarded. Ovonic was bought and killed by GM (ovonic was the primary maker of NiMH batteries for EV usage). At least now they have new leadership and are starting to go places again. Fuel Cells are all the rage because they are new, so the VC is going to them. The best way to get true EVs on the market at real prices will be to place $$ into NiMH or Lith-Poly battery manufacture process. I say manufacture process as these are old tech as far as bleeding edge goes, the only hang up is low current production pushing costs through the roof.
Add to this, Texaco is investing 6b$ into a huge hydrogen production plant in Greenland, which when complete will be the largest source of extracted H2 on the planet and all made with basicly free (beyond initial equipment and maint cost) Geothermal power. Do you wonder why Hydrogen to power converters are suddenly getting so big of a push? Texaco is even funding Ovonic to devlop batteries to devlop batteries suited to back up Fuel Cells systems. It all connects to the money...!
who is you wireless provider? We run a wISP in the Fort worth Texas area and have better than 99% uptime for 95% of our users. If you let me know who it is I may be able to get help for you through the wISP trade groups. Wireless should have uptimes BETTER than wired if properly installed and supported.
Of course there is prior art, almost every multiplayer game now days uses a serial # that checks with a central server for license, even my Delorme Topo Map program includes a DRM system, it doesn't even have a SN, just customized CD-ROMs.
Just about every possible method of DRM has been used in the past, Microsoft will be hard pressed to come up with one that has absolutely no significantly similar prior art.
they are not making copies, they are editing existing copies. Its like the right of a pc maker to alter windows with custom programs and menus before sending it out on the street on a computer, the windows is licensed, just different.
So in your apartment (for those of us living in apartments), which you rent, you have no right to privacy????? I think not! The car I lease from Ford, you would argue that I have no rights to privacy to it? The only real difference is the length of contract and amount of money.
You may want to re-think your renters rights views....
I am posting this again because of the way that some of you #%@$%@$% people think!!!
Jezus, from the way you talk you would think you have the right to know everything about every body just because you loan them something.
Bet if this was MICROSOFT tracking all their lease-license customers computing you would be going NUTZ!!!!

I would be extremely surprised if Harvard got even 1 of the rat-o-grams. talk about a never ending supply of lawyers...

how about a gameboy cart to CF flash adapter? about the same size...!
are we going to reach the long arm of US govt to get them?

God does indeed play dice, and they are loaded...
Our wireless network has 35km range from our central tower....

P.S., We setup other ISP networks too.
or even worse, with the drivel that gets published because they know they can sell it, what great books that never get published because of risk????
um, according to the IEEE standard, 100baseTX has about 300' or 100m of reach. Not that im picky, but 100' wouldbe grossly short in most buildings.
One Word. Tazer!!!!!
So in your apartment (for those of us living in apartments), which you rent, you have no right to privacy????? I think not!
