In way is a step forward because it will have a larger user base and a alrger testing pool, in a way it is a step backward because we are going to miss the liberty of choice and competion between BSD distributions. I certainlly would not like to have Redhat like BSD. This is one of the reasons I stayed with Slackware and started using FreeBSD.
Lots of $ for them to spend. And unfortunatelly the early days of free and open internet are gone. Wellcome to the comercial era of internet where everything costs a lot.
The closing of the 6bone is a step backward, but the claiming of the address space maybe a step forward in a large scale implementation of ipv6. Till then I am still going to run my experimantal private backbone on ipv6 even if IANNA wants it or not, or care for that matter.:)
5 years experience m8. From small ISP to Nortel Networks Germany and Telespazio Italia. I am Nortel certiffied, Cisco CCNP and lots of experience with Juniper routers but I still like to build a router with FreeBSD and Zebra. Some habits never die.:))
Actually the money you invest in training will not only save you from the expenses on crapy microsoft sofrware, but you'll end up with a highly trained unix profesionals workforce and soon you'll not buy from Cisco because these guys will like to build routers of their own.
I rather see it in the high performance (of course UNIX) servers than PC desktops for starting. It will deliver huge amounts of power but not to desktop aplications. So if you want to use it to play quake you are going to spend lots of money for 10-20% performance increase. If you want high performance servers this is another story. I also see future for it in scientific aplications. 8 64bit Opterons is a lot of FPU. Yummy. I can crunch the numbers much faster.
Seems that this fiber offer is just a marketing trap. Some people just know that fiber is fast actually forgeting to ask about caps or if their chanell is shaped down just to 64kbps. Just one the wonders of marketing in market economy.
The directional anntena has what it is called a main lobe whitch is usually measured in degerees and it is greater than 0, therefore two radio signals using the same frequency and resising in the same lobe will certainly interfere.

Instead of return of investment maybe people will do it because they just run out of IPv4 addresses.
The problem is till IETF gets the next protocol going we will be without IPv4 addresses and your isp is going to sell you a nated connection.

128 bits. Hard to belive they are running out considering how few people are running ipv6.

It is very interesting the attitude sun has towards FreeBSD, which seems very hostile, even more than towards Linux.
For now I stick to OSPF. And it is not centralized also. And so are BGP, RIP an ISIS.

But unfortunatelly he will be hired by another company in higher postion. And this is one of the reasons that telecom an it are doing so "well".
Because the world is actually made by lots of two-bit no-name regions.

It is 2Mps NOT 2gps. And the 2.4Mps are teoretical if the network is free.
Let me remind you of Celeron, Deshutches, Klamath, Mendocino .... It might be the same guy!

This is the death of structured cabling companies.
Absolutelly correct! But taking in acount the mass difference you can neglect the mass of the planet. Much like in the gravitational slingshot.
The orbit is not dependent on the planet's mass but sthe star's.
I want me one of those monolits so I can hit my boss on the head with and there might be light, or just sparks.
If you shape it down you get the same lag times.

Even if this are Gigabytes it is still very litlle! Actually on a true 100Mbps connection you can teoretically dowload 5GB in less than 7 minutes.
Is this a comercial? If so please post the link to the article because I'm to lazzy to browse through CNET.
