We used to have this problem when I lived in a house where 10-15 people shared a wireless connection and none of us had admin access to the router. We couldn't play XBOX live or anything because some asshat was downloading porn on bittorrent constantly. I used to just spoof ARP packets and have all of the traffic route through me, whereby I'd summarily kill all of his traffic and mess up his routing tables.
Some of these firms should really start looking at warehouses in Detroit. If you can secure the facility properly, you can get TONS of old warehouses and factory floors for very little. Look at the conversion that Wayne State did with techtown - they converted an old abandoned warehouse into usable high-tech space (and the real estate was virtually free).
I tend to agree with you on the benefits of inter-modal competition; however we really haven't gotten far enough to see the true results of it. As applications become EOIP (everything over IP) we see consolidation in the individual markets as the large corporations in each sector eat up the smaller guys (see comcast, AT&T, Verizon, et al). Basically, it comes down to COPPER v. COAX v. CELLULAR v. SATELLITE for all your IP applications (Voice, Data, TV) whereas in the past each individual method has provided a traditionally different service.
I don't think we've reached a point where we can say this is for the "common good" because we are in a transitional period and we've yet to see if one company, like AT&T, can gallop over everyone else.
Also, what T-mobile service gives you those speeds via bt? I've noticed they have a few web services, but last time I checked they cost alot. How do you connect to it? Is it the *99 trick?
She's probably right. Each of the mini-cells they use only has so much bandwidth and when all the voice channels are used, the cell dropps any calls that are transferred to it. However, I'm not saying the cellular company shouldn't PLAN for that, they should.
It has nothing to do with your signal and everything to do with how many voice channels they have installed in the cell.
I agree! Ecco the Dolphin was the most confusing game ever made. I could never get past the second level because I had no clue what they wanted me to do. The only fun part was jumping out of the water.
Wow. Its funny you mention that. I was just sitting here in my cubicle, programming in JBoss and drinking a Pepsi, when I got a call on my sweet new Sony Ericsson T610 about this post!
What are you talking about? The connection was out LOOONG before the Microsoft code leak. Besides, it wasn't the entire operating system that was leaked, just parts.
I'm surprised there was no discussion on how many times this guy's been scammed by spammers online? I know a lot of spammers aren't the most legit businessmen.

Yeah, really not funny. I feel bad for the girl.
You've obviously never visited Detroit.

I think people see the name "Roland Piquepaille" and skip over the article.
I use (and love)webcalendar.
Dinosaur Comics is the most brilliant and intellectually stimulating webcomic EVAR!!
I love trex and my family is made of meat.

Actually, its more expensive because businesses subsidize residential customers.
Where's Dennis the Menace to ruin the whole flower blooming? DENNIISSSSSS
This is a classic troll. Its good to see some old schoolers are still around.
Is it still violating FCC regulations if its in an unlicenced frequency?

Wouldn't a 747 full of water be too heavy to lift off or need an obscenely long runway?
I thought 6 was the sacred number of the illuminati. If this proves true, I have just debunked your hypothesis.
I thought I knew all the tricks the trolls use. But this one got me. Son of a bitch. yuck.

From the Article: "Google is managing between 45,000 and 80,000 servers"
Last time I checked, there was a pretty big difference between 45,000 and 80,000 servers. I mean, 80,000 is almost twice 45,000.

As a diehard mysql user/developer, I'm very excited for this tool to be released! It looks like it will compliment Mysql's CLI interface nicely.
try booting into slackware and typing: lspci that will show you what your network card is (along with your other pci cards)
