Anyone remember the first lawsuits against from verizon against 2600 for verizonreallysucks.com ? I can't remember who won, but 2600s case was that the first amendment protected their right to make an anti-verizon website.
I suggest that the gay community registers fallwellsucks.com, a website dedicated to how much of a bigot fallwell is. Or, as www.fallwell.com previously was, a classy activists site void of name calling and libel...
Layer 2/3 routers: (Can still perform all router functions, but are cheaper per-port) Riverstone Networks Extreme Networks
I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Alcatel, Foundry, and 3COM haven't really impressed me.
Interestng note, Qwest uses Juniper M20/40s in their core OC28 network. Juniper, IMHO, is the only real Cisco competitor for a network backbone. And, Juniper uses a BSD OS on their routers.
I've had good experience with riverstone support.
I work in an environment where we see many different router vendors every month. Riverstone seems to be the ones who stick around. Also, you might not have heard of them because they sell mostly MAN (Metro area networks) which are most deployed abroad.
The student's way: (from one to another) 1. Use the free tools on freshmeat.org 2. Build your own pic programmer board (search google) instead of buying one.
Most kits cost well over a students hobby budget, but if you are hardcore into PIC programming, use Windows with Microchip's ICD2 (in-circuit debugger) and MPLAB IDE.
My father recently quit his job as a marketing manager at a large pharmecutical company he'd worked at for 20+ years. He has four kids (two curently in college, one graduated, and one in high school). He was 48 years old. My mother erans maybe 30k$/yr as a local journalist, but they provide us with health care. Also, he recently purchased some waterfront property with his future dream house on it.
He quit his job becuase he grew to hate it. Every second of it. By most peoples standards it was a great job: six weeks of paid vacation, great salary, bonuses, stock options, health care. Some travel, but not too much (He had already paid his dues). He considered his options for several years, but then on an impulse quit his job one day. He is now MUCH happier because of it. Now, he works at his other lifelong hobby. After being owning and fixing up old homes for 20+ years, he is ready to become a full time handyman. He went out and bought a brand new work van, got himself some business cards, and got to work. Most of his work came from people he worked with previously, who are all too busy to work on their own houses.
Interestingly, six months after he quit, an old workmate called him up, asking him to do some marketing consulting for three times what he normally charges as a handyman. He took the job. Why? so he could take a day off every week and go hiking, skiing, or snowboarding.
Just buy a USB cable and use bitpim to put whatever files you want on your phone, which include ringtones, wallpapers, etc. Also, if you have an LG vx4400, you can change your WAP setting (just research how to find your secret menu) to whatever site you'd like. Unfortunately, most brew applications need to be signed by qualcomm, but I'm sure there are ways around that, but I didn't tell you that. A good site for the LG vx4400 is http://aeonnfluux.com. They have all sorts of info on the vx4400, which is a very "hacakble" phone, especially with the cable.
Go out and _buy_ yourself a copy of MATLAB R13. The student version is under 100$, which is a deal considering the amount of time it takes to put together such a program. In fact, these programs are so complex, anyone with enough time to dedicate making an open source alternative would have to dedicate their lives to it. And until somewhere in industry realizes they can (if possible) save money by developing an open source version in-house (like disney and wine) then no open source suites will exist.

Also, the fastest router from juniper networks, to my knowledge, is the m160, capable of forwarding 160 GB/s. But, that is spread out over several interfaces.

Also, go to a _state_ school! Your education will cost 1/10 to 1/3 as much money! You won't be burdened by student loans! Instead you'll buy a shiny new car and/or house with all the money yo'll save.
And "tech" workers, don't diss college. There is a demand for skilled engineering students, although curently many of those oppurtunities are in the defense industry.
Due to the large number of students that drop out of engineering majors, most merit based engineering scholarships weren't offered until my sophmore and junior years of college. These scholarships are often accompanied by internship oppurtunities, and they were offered to my through my university.
In other words, get in, do _exceptionally_ well, and you will be rewarded later in your college career.
As a student at umass-amherst, we have MSDNAA. All OS's and development tools are FREE. Just need to pirate MS office, which is usually hanging around our LAN anyway.

Also, it is not FORCED upon us. we have a linux server available on campus that hosts just about every distro under the sun.
What the article failed to state is anything about ORGANIC LEDs, who's future is much more important than a reqular LED.
OLEDs have been around for a while now, and the idea is to line your ceiling with them to create light. The problem is they are too expensive, and currently a white OLED has only been stable for around 15 minutes. BUT, green OLEDs once had the same problems white OLEDs have now. So there is much room in the future for improvement in quality and price.
One reason the color may be off is becuase a regular incandecant light bulb emits extra red and orange light into the visible spectrum. This is why flourescent lamps are often not favorable. Lighting manufacturers will go through extensive eye comfot tests that deal with color, flickering, and lamp life/lumen mantainance testing before the bulbs go out on the market.
Please remember, this is just a HOMEWORK exploit. Big deal. Its not like homework is worth more than 10-20% of your final grade in most university classes. Homework is to learn, but sometimes you can't learn the mandated 3 times a week your online HW is due, so you collaborate with other students to find the "master formula" for the ridiculous statics problem and voila, you have the answers. Everyone does it, and it is actually encouraged by the physics dept (they setup a resource center where students can collaborate.
However, if it was a problem with the actual final grading system, say spire.umass.edu, you could be in some serious deep sh*t.
Also, if i EVER tried to port scan a homework system (my university uses OWL and WebCT), grading system, etc., i would have campus network adminstrators crawling up my ass and threatening expulsion. I'm surprised you even were able to DISCOVER the exploit (unless it is really obvious, such as changing the URL) without getting nailed. but then again, if they are using Blackboard, they might not be on the top of their security game . ..
Thanks to the Miller ruling , the raunchiest community (the internet) now has the raunchiest pr0n available, without ever having the fear of being sued for obscenity.
Anything running SIP won't use H.323. THey are "competing" protocols. Cisco VoIP supports SIP, but they have yet to produce a SIp server, i beleive. Any IP phone on the market should support SIP, or it will have a much shorter lifespan. SIP/H.323 sets up/takes down the call, applies your billing. The actual voice stream is RTP (real time protocol). If RTP packets are dropped or arrive out of order, they won't appear in your phone conversation. Usally this results in 10-20 ms of silence, which sounds like static.
Unfrotunately, the standard changes every three months, so until we finally get a SIP standard that has enoguh features for everyone, we won't see a huge market saturation of SIP products.
Also, your latency and jitter will affect your all around voice quality. This will not be improved unless you have carriers giving the RTP stream (the voice stream) QOS accross their backbone.
Bottom line: VoIP won't be trusted until your carrier supports it accross their backbone, or you manage/own the backbone. Fortunately, qwest, time warner telcom, global crossing, and many others are moving in this direction.
A good friend of mine used his Palm to take the SAT IIs a few years ago. The test proctor didn't check ANYONE's calculator, let alone his Palm.
not like you really need a calculator on the SAT IIs.
In college, math courses allow you to use your calculator, but put integrals on the test that will choke up your TI-89 like nobody's business. Same thing in diff eq.
Slashdot Mirror
NYC startup enterproid has a product call Divide that you should check out: http://www.divide.com/
No iphone solution, but I'm sure it is next on your list.
I work in a next gen telecommunications testing lab. You gotta look at the big boys:
ADtech is famous for their ATM test equipment
IXIA http://www.ixiacom.com/ is a newcomer on the block, but is run by seasoned pros and
Empirix (formerly hammer) makes loads of application specific test equipment.
Iperia does a lot of voip testing, but they are more of an ISDN/SS7 test equipment manufacturer.
