The challenge here is the other costs that are unaccounted for. Sure, you see power at 5c/10c per KWH, but all the other parts cost money as well, such as poles. Sure, the pole may be split in cost between the power, phone and cable companies, but that's still an expensive asset. http://www.dailyherald.com/art... provides a view into what this costs to be maintained. If a pole costs $1-3k, how many are you sharing the cost of as part of the rate. This is part of the "ugly profit" people gripe about with some of these shared assets, both in an electric network and the ways the bits reach your screen here.
If I get to a bill of zero due to investing and net-metering, someone else is going to be paying for those grid parts either in higher rates, or I need to pay for some usage of that giant battery network. No free lunch, etc..
I've been working on various aspects of the CPE equation for almost 2 years now as part of the various OpenResolverProject, OpenNTPProject, and other related aspects. Most CPE can't even do DNS correctly, let alone securely.
Take Netgear for example, they can't even process RFC1035 4.2.2 correctly to say a client should support DNS over TCP (it's not just for zone transfers), but instead of just not responding, or sending back some error that allows the DNS client to try the next resolver it has, you get it sending REFUSED: https://www.cloudshark.org/cap...
These devices are unmaintained outside of the few who actually upgrade them, and it's most likely still got default passwords on it causing all sorts of other possible pain and xss abuse/malware concerns. This is only going to get worse as more things have an IP address and communicate with the rest of the world.
Actually, I know of some people who have built their own network appliances to perform this task. It's feasible and can work but requires encapsulate and decapsulation on each end. You can MSS clamp for TCP and timestamp/reassemble the UDP frames. Not impossible, but certainly requires effort. The people I know who did this was for redundancy between DSL + Business DOCSIS services so they would get the fastest performance of each direction from their links with redundancy should one fail.
Now is the time if you care to have everyone you know stand-up for *decreased* regulation in the last mile and locally, not more. The cost of building high speed access to your location is not in the long-haul but the local access network. Long-haul costs are at their lowest point ever, but getting to the major locations is always the expensive part. Labor costs, including engineering and permits make the cost of installing fiber or other technology insignificant.
Fiber and media converters are suitably cheap. You can get the TP-LINK MC220-L for around $20-30, and the optic for as low as $35 depending on your source and type/distance. This works well as you don't have to worry about shielded cabling if you ran something like cat5/6. You can also reach much further distances than with copper wire. You don't necessarily need permits, but you do need to call MISS-DIG, or whatever the local version of that is. When the guy comes out, tell him exactly what you are planning on doing, route, possible routes, etc. Most places require a hand dig within a few feet of any marked utility. The rest you can use a rented trencher to do. Running conduit will make a lot of sense, you typically need schedule-80 which you won't find at lowes/home depot. You can also call a contractor to do this work, depending on the distance it may only cost a few thousand dollars at most. If your goal is to keep things super-low cost, then wifi or other networking may be your ideal solution. Look at the hardware from ubnt.com and see what works. If you don't have line of sight, you will need to run a cable to make this work. If cost doesn't come into the equation, you can also get SFP+ PCIe cards and do this at 10Gb/s vs 1Gb/s much easier. Make sure you run single model fiber, otherwise you may have troubles if you encounter older OM1/OM2 and try to launch 10G signals.
You're talking about small routers. I'm talking about stuff like t1600 where everything is done entirely in hardware. If you look at the QFP in the ASR1k (cisco) you will see where it can do the nat, etc in hardware. that's more sensible than a lot of the devices where things are just pure slow-path (ie: punted to cpu for the fib lookup based on the various ribs your device may have).
We're talking about entirely different classes [and engineered uses] of equipment, and that's obvious to me. Hope you understand that as well.
You are talking about a Firewall device that performs NAT, (and appears as a "router" on the lan. Most of what you see at the store/online is not a "real" router IMHO. Then again, I'm biased as I deal with n*10G all day in a large network. When people call those devices at their home a 'modem' or 'router' i generally wince. I think of them more along the lines of a media converter (dsl, cable to rj45/802.3)
Make sure if you have a tunnel, or use one, you do not add too much latency to your connection. The CDNs won't send your traffic over IPv6 if your IPv6 goes to some other continent or geographical region.
Not really. If you are blocking the public right of way, you can be arrested. Most stores are on private property, not public so they can reserve the right to refuse service to you as well.
This is why those involved in sit-ins have been arrested in the past, and those on-strike have to 'keep moving' and can't just do their own sit-in.
Sadly this doesn't cut it. It's easier to take someone who was a cleared cleaning staff member and train them to do other tasks than clear these people. The process can take up to 24 months if you have a checkered history.
There's a lot of places to go with this, including over classifying data, etc.. that typically happens, and getting it revisited with the right class authority. You have to look no further than the SBU reports that come out from GAO. It makes it really tough, combined with existing regulations set in stone by congress.
A lot of these jobs require that you be a US Citizen in order to pass the background check to be granted a security clearance. There are lots of jobs posted at clearancejobs.com and other sites that reflect this need. It may take 6-9 months for that process to complete itself (or up to ~2 years in some cases) but once that gauntlet has been run, it becomes much easier the next time.
If you're a qualified networking or IT geek that meets those criteria, there are plenty of jobs available.
I recall someone saying this about a provider (in Ohio iirc), paranoid that the FBI was overstepping their bounds and it turns out they were a bunch of criminals. Now if only we could get peoples machines taken away that were compromised as part of spam operations...
A sad note on the autorun activity. The challenges US-CERT has are complex as they have little ability to enforce sane standards and are just as the name says a response team. Once you formulate a response, someone has to execute it, and the federal government is one of the largest enterprises out there, certainly if you include all the contractors as well. It will be interesting to see if there is a shift away from bah to career feds.
At the same time, everyone makes mistakes and Phil has always shown himself to be a person who generally "gets it" compared to others I've bumped into at GLB. The same is true for any org, fed or not.
Exactly. This has been the problem that I've seen. WFUM used to come in just fine for me. Same for WKAR. I'm in a strange location and can pick up most of Lansing, Toledo and Detroit (and also 2 CBC channels, 9&54). The digital transition at WFUM and WKAR have caused those two to disappear for me. (WFUM and WKAR have already turned off analog). The others are still there for now, but I'm waiting to see what will happen. Sometimes WFUM shows up when I re-scan (or enough that it identifies the station but either too weak or too high ber to decode any signal). The most interesting thing for me is I can get 3 different CBS stations just fine. Reminds me I need to find a home for my Series 1 Tivo in a few more weeks.
I dine out at a local eatery and they give change in 50c and $2 bills as appropriate based on your order. I tend to re-use the bills at other local places, and usually get some combination of NOOP and Cool! I've never had any issues, but also don't tend to hand them to someone who may die due to drooling on themselves.
I agree on the USB, the wife got a 16GB USB device for ~$8 back in November iirc. Reusable and I could likely put multiple bootable installs on it w/ grub (eg: freebsd, linux, xp) with a few service packs too (eg: XP SP3.. dear god, I upgraded a family member laptop this christmas from XP [not even SP1] -> SP3).
I'd also like the ability to (without building a custom kernel) use com2 as my console, but I can't have everything I want.. sigh. Time to hack more code i guess.
This is one of the better parts of this release. The lack of speed/clue on putting out both CD sized and DVD iso images has been highly frustrating, telling the users to basically "roll-their-own". I've already upgraded a few systems and things appear to be going well.

This isn't possible, nor should it be.

If you saw this problem, your NTP time sources were not properly configured and diverse.
Consider using the NTP pool and not relying on so few sources to properly sync your time. Read 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 from http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/SelectingOffsiteNTPServers for help to correct your NTP setup.

Real routers don't have 'state tables'.
Ask your ISP for IPv6 access. Enable your web server/site for IPv6 day. Use a 'web bug' tracker item to identify broken thins.
visit places like http://test-ipv6.com/ to try to understand how ready you are.
Make sure if you have a tunnel, or use one, you do not add too much latency to your connection. The CDNs won't send your traffic over IPv6 if your IPv6 goes to some other continent or geographical region.
