Lacking the knowledge of the internal workings of PF, I do have to say that I have never had a problem with SIP. My home phone is through Vonage behind pfsense and I routinely connect while on the road to a friends Asterisk box to make phone calls with a soft phone and bluetooth headset on my laptop. He has a pfsense router and all of his trunks are SIP. Several users are simultaneously connected using SIP from remote locations and properly routed out the SIP trunks.
Not to doubt that you have had things that do not work; I am only relating my experiences. I must also state that the SIP traffic shaping appears to work beautifully there as I really don't have any call issues that are not related to the bandwidth available at my remote location(s).
This wonderful treatment, if proven fully effective in the next couple of years, will be available sometime in the year 2052 With it's fancy patent scheme it will only cost the average person $2.3 million per year for treatment.
Looks like "The rest of us" are just going to have to die of cancer since we won't be able to afford treatment anyways.
"Oh c'mon. They're not. If they were, Apple would be publicising the shit out of that fact."
Or, not...... I imagine that they still have quite a few non dual core systems to sell off and that they may have to deep discount them in order to get people to choose them over the "new" dual core systems.
Now personally, I don't think they are dual core systems. It's probably much easier to release a speed bumped core than a whole new architecture with a clock speed increase included.
Buying ammo at the range is expensive as hell! I just bought a case (1000 rounds) of CCI Blazer 230 grain.45 FMJ at: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com for $168.00 with free shipping and a case (1000 rounds) of Russian Golden Tiger 7.62x39 for my AK at: http://www.aimsurplus.com for $77.00.
CCI Blazer is a very clean round compared to most others I have shot and it feels like it is a hotter load than the Remmington UMC and Winchester white box stuff at Wal-Mart. As for the Golder Tiger 7.62....well...it's your typical russian ammo, steel cased, SUPPOSEDLY non-corrosive berdan primed.
"It is unfortunate that companies run the risk of having to pay up millions of dollars becase really good lawyers are more than willing to act on people who burn themselves' behalf."
Unfortunately, the expense is passed on to you and I; companies NEVER eat the losses for things like this.
I can safely say that this guys experience can partially be blamed on himself. If his picture constantly macro-blocks he really should get a service tech scheduled to investigate. A great forward signal level would be anything between +3dBmv and -7dBmv; anything outside of that and you start to have issues with macro-blocking on digital cable boxes and packet loss on a DOCSIS cable modem.
There most definitely are good reasons why they do not want you to just pick up a high definition cable box. The first reason is to ensure that you do in fact have high definition capable equipment. It's absolutely amazing how many people want to have a high definition cable box simply because it's newer and must be better whether they have an HD capable television or not. The second reason, and the more important one in his case is that a meter ( http://www.sunrisetelecom.com/broadband/cm1000.sht ml )is used to test the outlets that his high definition equipment will be connected to. Any signal level issues can and will be corrected.
As for the outputs not all working on the box, well, this is a known issue in the firmware of the SA Explorer 8000HD. When the technician comes out to install this particular box the customer is informed of the current limitations of the equipment pending a firmware update from SA. I would hardly expect for the counter people to be fully aware of this (non-technical customer service reps) but the installer most definitely could have given him the information and suggested alternatives. The SA Explorer 8000HD works great as long as you use component for the video and coaxial digital for the audio. I think most people that actually have a high definition television also have a home theater receiver capable of handling that particular setup.
For me personally, I grabbed the Pace branded HD cable box ( http://www.pacemicro.com/corporate/products/prodin fo.asp?PID=DC550 ) and it works absolutely flawlessly.
Well, since someone beat me to the punch modding you up I guess I'll have to post a strong agreement with you.
For many years I have been running Linux as my server OS and it's absolutely great for that; my main issue is with Linux as a desktop OS. I tried in vain to make myself like Linux on the desktop for over a year and a half and ended up going back to Windows with the introduction of XP. Soon after that I jumped ship to OSX on a Mac and haven't looked back. I get all the "geeky" goodness packed under the hood (free software availability, command prompt, the usual open source goodies like Samba et-al.) and a very sweet usable GUI. Yes, it's basically BSD under the hood...but it sure does have one hell of a nice gas pedal, brake pedal, and best of all power everything with heated seats for my fat lazy ass.
Lemme' guess, you're the guy that goes in to buy a new car based on what the monthly payments are going to be. "Wow! only $200.00 a month!!!" (for only 120 months at 17.89% interest). I'm sure there are going to be plenty of F&I guys happy to see you.
The thing to remember is that rate of return is what you are looking for. I'd say that over 14% return on an investment in one day (for the people who just got into SCO stock) was one hell of a pay day!
Warning! Bad Scrubs reference inside!

So that's why my doctor told me my "ho-ho" was giving me some problems in my "wizzy winkle" after I stuffed it in my girlfriends "bajingo".......damn, and I thought it was just a nonoxynol 9 sensitivity issue.
Simply flipping the VIN and starting over with the numbers backwards shouldn't require any real changes. There would just have to be a stipulation that any vehicles built after 20xx have ther VIN's read backwards.
So, my car (JS23N0B163XXX), if manufactured after 20xx would become (XXX361B0N32SJ).
Yeah, I know...1970 Challenger R/T VIN....you'll just have to assume the newer 17 digit VIN codes for the newer cars. It would also be quite obvious if you saw a series of numbers only (sequential build) at the beginning of the VIN that it was indeed a flipped VIN.
You may want to have a look at fire: http://fire.sourceforge.net It's come along quite nicely and also seems to work with the server change fix by editing the Accounts plist file.
But it seems like a lot of Slashdot stories these days are pretty much direct rips from boingboing.net. A lot of the stuff I see here seems to have been lifted from there a day or two after it was posted over there.
Not a troll or flame or anything, just an observation.
Hmm, thanks; I'm impressed. After looking at their package, it looks like I'm off to download the free home version and try it out. Hell, at $125.00 for the version I would most likely need, I would consider it a steal.
It may be easier to convince them to pay for text enabled pager service. There is no reason at all that text notifications cannot be sent via a much cheaper and harder to abuse good old fashioned pager.
As for quitting your job in protest, well....like it or not you are very easily replaced. Companies these days are run by accountants, not techies or any other people "in the know". No matter how good of a job you do, to them you are simply employee number xxxxx who gets paid $xx.xx dollars an hour. Most bosses aren't even aware at all of exactly what it is you do and how valuable an asset you may be. Come to think of it, I could use a new job....where did you say you work(ed)??
Besides, the whole job hunting thing abslutely sucks, especially today where paper certified tech grunts are a dime a dozen.
"Meanwhile, we've found a free software package that is supposed to do the same thing as this unit -- plus act as a print server -- and requires only a minimal computer and a wireless card.

Just kinda' curious as something like this may solve a lot of my issues with my small business.

"His point was in a normal toilet the tank water is potable"
Hehehe, well, those funny blue discs in my tank tank beg to differ with you.
I guess his point may have been a valid one for potable water, although, I would probably opt for bottled water from the local store.

Hmm, maybe you should check out the web page for the "Grey water toilet". He uses a nice big plastic 55 gallon drum to store the used water in and it is pumped into the toilet as needed. If anything, he should fare better than the rest of us in a lack of water situation as his shitter will have a ready water supply.
"According to Motorola sources, a tweaked version of the Apollo 7450 G4, the 7470, will be ready for volume production shortly after the end of Q2, in time for a summer ramp. The 7470 will be manufactured on a 0.13 micron process, allowing for a smaller die size with room for 512K of L2 cache, and support up to 4MB of DDR-SDRAM L3 cache.
The 7470 supports a modified bus protocol, MPX+, which supports double data transfer and which should effectively run at 266Mhz according to sources."

I agree 100%. A friend of mine that is now retired from the Navy was required by one of his superior officers to learn how to use a sextant, longitude clocks, and navigate by hand if necessary. Now, this isn't standard training...but I definitely think the officer that made him do it was on the right track.
Say what you will; but new technology, as reliable as it may seem, can go drastically wrong. I would hate to be the guy stuck with his thumbs up his ass not knowing what to do in such an emergency and to not have the longitude clock/sextant or HAM guy around to bail me out.

Their launch title is going to be Duke Nukem Forever, that's why we haven't seen any hardware yet.
Wow, I bet Stallman be really happy then :-)
Off-topic, but it also drives me nuts when people say "VIN number" on a vehicle.....as VIN is: Vehicle Identification NUMBER......damnit!!
