  1. The Net's not accurate? on Realistic Portrayals of Software Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Of course it is. Who among us is not familiar with the 349.586.456.893 IP addressing scheme, or using whois for username-to-terminal mapping?

  2. It's important to understand... on FCC Clears Comcast Purchase Of AT&T Broadband · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is only for the purchase of AT&T Broadband. This includes AT&T Cable, related infrastructure, and associated connectivity-via-cable (cable modem) customers. This has nothing to do with local phone, long distance, leased lines, web hosting, solutions, etc.

  3. *Could* be fictional? on Microsoft Tries a "Switch" Campaign · · Score: 4, Funny

    Real people don't say things like:

    I am a freelance writer; I demand the best in mobile computing.

    That just wreaks of marketing monkey dung.

  4. It'll be a DDOS drone or a useless shell... on Going Back To The Past of the Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It doesn't have to be that way. Any sufficiently planned architecture could deter or eliminate this kind of activity, while still being completely usable as a learning tool. Yes, it would require an *involved* admin, who stays on top of things, but nothing a monkey with perl couldn't handle. Heck, spend the time to identify who your "trusted" users are, and teach them a thing or two about *running* a system, instead of just *using* it. Then not only do you have some people to share the work, but you've got another competitor in your job market. Oh wait, that's bad...

  5. Administration on Ask About Setting Up a Community ISP · · Score: 1

    Are you the only person that has "enable" level access to all the equipment? Do some of the subscribers have "enable" access?
