Any cisco router/switch can be set to netboot their configuration. You can keep the full config on a secure linux/etc. box and netboot (encrypted) it. More secure that way? Possibly. Limited access to the box it's stored on could keep it more secure and tightly controlled.
ISPs are glad to get rid of the unprofitable consumers... You'll be doing them a favor by switching as you'll tax the throttling equipment less and less and leave more bandwidth for others.
I've got the cheeseburger box folks' bot telling the bun folks' bot to tell the burger folks' bot to inform the ketchup folks' bot to relay to the mayo folks' bot to hold the mayo. Now my lunch is hot-off-the-grill and ready for me.
To plaigerize and summarize great men before me: those tho would sacrifice privacy for safety deserve neither. Lame, old, tired argument. All throughout history anyone who lives in a society gives up a level of privacy. Ie, in early US history, when native americans attacked those moving west, the pioneers would create a circle of their wagons for safety. Obviously, they thought it was more important to stay alive than worry if the folks traveling with them heard them argue about who was going to clean the dishes. Their need to be laws to protect privacy, yes. But you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
ignore other potential good uses from such technology.. Imagine being able to catch Kidnappers, fugitives and the ilk before they actually do more harm. Fleeing bank robbers, etc..
In all technology there is a chance for abuse of authority, be it in your own office or with government control. Chance for abuse does not negate the ability for technology to be helpful to society. To be sure - be vigilant of government practices, but don't cut off your feet to spite your nose either.
Finally, the hospital picks up the tab for that ER visit, not tax payers. While the government mandate no one can be turned down for care, they didn't come up with a way to pay the hospital. Not true. The hospital will use that as a loss deduction from federal taxes. It's a viscious cycle.
What's "right" and "wrong" in regards to what I do to my own body has nothing to do with society. It's nobody's business but my own. Not when it affects those in society. Ie, if you overdose and cannot afford health insurance, are rushed to the ER and tax payer money pays for your treatment and recovery, then it is our business.
People need to move away from the mindset where media pompously and wrongly attributes polar positions such as "right and wrong" and "use and abuse" to be a 100% lexical replacement for "legal and illegal." Anyone with any sense at all knows better than that. A significant number of the laws on the books in the country I live in (the USA) are inherently wrong, outright un- or anti-constitutional, or something even worse. Using them to define what is "right" leads directly to behaviors that are despicable — or worse.
This is "your opinion". What is right and wrong will always be a subjective and philosophical definition. Laws are made when a majority who are elected, hold the same philosophical beliefs create and vote for them. If you don't like the laws, participate in the voting and hope your candidate of choice wins. That is what society is.
The ISP world has changed significantly from "many years ago". P2P, streaming media and Itunes-like services mean folks leave their systems on and pull content 24/7. As stated, 2-4 is the only low point (and we are not a small, more a medium-sized ISP).
Margins for small-medium sized ISPs are pretty thin. You're not going to have "loads" of spare bandwidth if you expect to maintain any profit at all. I live in a state where the majority of locations are served via satellite. It's not cheap to rent time on a sat btw.
I don't know where you get this from. As an engineer for an ISP, our low point is only from approx 2-4 am. Bittorrent and other P2P clients left running all night still consume constant traffic in both directions.

You really shouldn't have your child nearby if you are watching pr0n and getting 'sweaty'.

This is not the defendant you are looking for. These mp3's are not the ones shared on the internet.

"you know you can trust it" Yeah, I'm gonna trust it in about the same fashion.
couldn't they just tie a Roomba to the back of the space craft?

Greenland's barley production jumps %500 and sees new global markets.
>>Yeah, Christianity is so much more plausible.
For not being plausible, there sure are a lot of people calling on God to save them during moments of suffering and death.
Sounds like a remake of a Mad Max movie....
Choices! I find myself alternating every so often, but really prefer KDE (v4 is looking good).
SPAMMERS....
Do you people even read your TOS? You are not guaranteed anything without an SLA.
