Some term they use for how good your chances are of routing the call to a country.. e.g. only 1 in 10 calls make it through, the reacability of the country is rather poor.
Had a nice one last year. We have a surveilance system for the telephone links going abroad from Norway, with some nice graphs showing the reacability of phone calls to foreign countries. So on some of the high priority routes we manipulated the statistics so they all showed 0% reacability. Caused quite some panic;)
Most other distros are based outside the USA, where the patents often does not apply. Nevertheless, if other distros ship it , does that automatically make it legal ? Or is the patent owners doesn't excersice their patent rights, is it still legal ?

This is how memory allocation work on most platform. You malloc/new some memory , later you free/delete it. It is only released back to the memory allocator , not back to the os. Now there are various techniques on some platforms that releases it back, e.g. big allocations are done with mmap which gets released when unmapped. Some reduce the heap(brk(...)) if the memory allocator realizes there's a lot of free space at the top of the heap. Remember the heap grows/shrinks like a stack.
The thing for GUI tools is to read and write the very same configfile one would edit by hand, and to understand/parse the whole syntax of that configfile. User hand edits a config file, GUI tool read/parse it, and presents the configuration already in it.

True, but thats often just from the cellphone up to the antenna.(or sometimes a bit further..). Once the voice is on cables, it's "decrypted"(not always though, but very common.

You dig up a cable, its often 2mbit coax cables or fibre. You hook on a splitter to get the signals. Feed them to a hardware card on your PC, pick up an appropriate timeslot there, pass it throug a decoder(e.g. G.711) and onto your soundcard. I do this for work.. well not so much digging up cables, but making software that can simulate e.g. a SS7 switch. It could among other things do the above.

Its only secure cause its rather hard for the common man to do it.
I'm somewhat wondering at which level they need security.. If you want VoIP over the Internet, you defintly need to care about security.
Then again if an operator wants to do this over the internet, there are alot other things than security to think of as well,(e.g how goddamn unreliable the internet can be.. packet loss, long unpredictable delays , etc.)
Now, many are already doing VoIP, but at a complete diffrent layer. They replace their internal core switching network with IP networks. Networks ofcourse nowhere near the internet, only as their internal bearer of signalling and in some cases the voice as well. Readers can go through the RFCs for the Sigtran stack for more info. Some are considering SIP/SIP-T as well. The issue they face are not security, but maturity. Protocols and implementations are not that ready. In this scenario noone talks about security, its the same as in the "old" telco network, phyisically security.
Which btw. isn't that secure. I can very well dig up an 2mbit SS7 cable, hook e.g. our SS7 simulator(www.utelsystems.com) onto it, and call for free, or cause lots of trouble for the switches..
Since noone reads the IPv6 RFCs everyone thinks its just about a much much bigger address space. Clearly one must invent another protocol to suite ones needs..
Really ? There are thousands of things to do with a computer besides writing programs for it. * Administration, you don't really need much programming experience to administrer a large site of e.g. Active Directory controllers. * Network planning/engineering.. * Application useage, e.g. modelling in Maya , 3D theory.
Who cares if its GPL compatible... What's really important is if its compatible with whats already out there. I'm thinking all the various modules(PHP,mod_perl,mod_auth_younameit). Most seem not GPL licensed. Thats whats important, is ASL still compatible with licenses used by all the big modules we all depend on ? (It seems so, so who cares _that_ much about it beeing GPL (in)compatible ?;)
Oh, so you mean I can program in e.g. Python in an application having TCL bindings ?

Why ? What did they do wrong ?
Is there a law against sending away the IP address ?
