If the facility had the roof blown off due to the 60mph+ winds we had, and caused a safety hazard due to exposed wiring, etc.. I certainly can see a case, but this is all conjecture. Unless you (and I don't) have facts to support your postulation, we can go on feeding the echo chamber more and more!
WPS and GETS did not work from my cellular phone during this time. This was quite a severe outage, and caused 'No Service' for a very wide area locally as well. I did not determine if it was due to the tower being without power though, most sites have 8-12 hours of standby power at most.
The problem I have is that these programmers translate to routing equipment that I use eg: Juniper and Cisco platforms where the memory and cpu continue to be at a premium. While they develop on the latest c2d cpus, the devices that make up the core of the internet actually are more like SR71000 CPU at 600Mhz with 1GB of ram, or a 2ghz pentium mobile processor, or even 300Mhz MPC 755 processors.
While most people don't consider these an embeded platform, the constraints that exist here have real impacts as there's not always protected memory (cisco). You would be sad to see what they charge for memory and flash cards.
Yes, please tell me about your years spent on Ultrix, Altos and other boxes. You modern kidz and your GUI. The main reason why I use OSX is because I can ssh *and* run Microsoft office at the same time. If you don't understand syntax like
run *kermit
load * (Oh, the magical keys on the c64)
and having to spend time at bps rates lower than 9600 when performing tasks, you clearly don't appreciate the speed increases over the years the same as some of us. I remember going from 300->1200->2400bps. Now I spent my time tracking IEEE HSSG for 100Gb/s interfaces, because I will likely have a need to bundle them.
I get really sad when I see wasteful memory and cpu bloat. Perhaps these will become scarce resources again with the mobile trend, and people will do a better job watching their consumption. Oh well.
This is a smaller amount than in past disputes where Cogent offered free GigabitEthernets to others. Someone else noticed that it's been exactly 2 years since they brought up a direct connection. Something smells fishy here.
Call local elected reps (state & federal) saying that you're unable to get anyone to deal with the issue. Call the FBI in DC as well. If she's getting interstate death threats, that's illegal and the FBI can call the people back. I've had good luck with my local FBI office (Ann Arbor) when I received an interstate death threat.
There are numerous IP networks out there. Some of them eg: SIPRNET referenced above, are private networks. There are methods to insure the privacy and integrity of these elements and devices. The same can be done and said about some corporate security practices. The drug companies are very careful about protecting their secrets so they can obtain patent protection. The same general model applies to classified communications as well. You have protection for a period of time, then after that it expires. Think of all the documents that have reached their "declassify" date in the past few years, from the Mob+Castro plot to others.
But yes, there is more than one network built with the Internet Protocol (IP) networking technology.
I presume you mean like the Youtube sponsored debates that were streamed live?
It appears that the streaming is done via a large number of HTTP 206's (partial content) via fetching http://stream.qec6.dc2.qcn3.movenetworks.com/live/F3EAF776/src1/080825_CE2962/003E/F6119C81829E0D4DA13B069D48D1C247_0800006E97.qss over and over again. I guess the overhead of many many TCP streams vs doing some UDP streaming w/ client keepalives is a better way? Oh well, it's nice to know that most people are on recent TCP stacks.
If he's convicted or not, what matters is if he's pardoned. He can be pardoned in advance of a trial. Take Nixon as an exmaple. One does not need to go through with the full judicial process prior to a pardon being issued.
I run a semi-large wireless footprint with old Cisco Aironet gear. There's like 9 APs, some of them in repeater mode, covering roughly 15-20 acres of residental and open space. It's worth the expense to have a real wireless access point vs some all-in-one device on an embeded platform (eg: Aironet, etc..)
If you want something that will work right, you need to pay a few hundred bucks total. You can get a Soekris board and get the best of all worlds. It uses low power, has a few ethernets, runs your favourite *nix, and the mini-pci or usb-ports are currently futureproofed. When 802.11qwerty+magic comes out, you can swap out the card.
That all said, even the large router vendors of the world have problems with their expensive equipment and software quality. It's all the same, the situation is trying to find the thing that sucks less (vendor, hardware, support, etc..), and trying to balance the value of your time against your pocketbook. If you're Fry and your time is worthless, go ahead and build a device and tinker over the next month.
My recommendation? Get an Aironet AP (semi-cheap on ebay, except for the next week likely) I just got another 802.11g Aironet 1121 for $49. If you're doing things faster, think about cat5e (yeah, i know apartments suck, older home challenges, etc..) I will say, I love having my various desktops able to talk gigabit and just the laptops on the wireless. It costs real money to get a 16 or 24 port SNMPable gigabit switch for your house, but when you don't have to spend time tracing what isn't working right every other day, week, etc.. it pays for itself.
Oh well, if the software were better, I would likely be out of a job.
There are those of us that live outside the FIOS and U-Verse footprints that have limited (read: no) choice except to accept dial-up, satellite or cellular (which may be secretly capped as well) services. Even if we wanted to buy a "Business Grade" DSL/T1/FIOS/Metro-Ether/CableModem it's just not possible. Last time the quote for the T1 included a $5200 installation fee to install the repeater. That was roughly 1 year of service cost to be billed at the outset, not including the then upcoming MRC at a multi-year commit. Totally out of the price range of the average consumer. Even major metro areas like the actual district of columbia (DC) are not getting FIOS. If you're lucky enough to have it available, good for you, otherwise the rest of the US will be lucky to get access at 6Mbps if that, unless you are willing to live with caps.
I have 3 macs two got the 198M update one got the 420M. Odd, they're all intel and I don't immediately know why the variance.
The dual-reboot thing has gotten to be more common than in the past, the first time it happened i freaked out thinking the box ate itself. Just worrying when it happens for the first time. And a reminder to do a backup before any upgrades:).
This has been the case for quite some time. Expect signed binaries to come before long because people can't stop downloading and installing the malware. I dislike the idea, because it can lock some legit folks out of a platform, but expect something like a trusted developer program across all platforms in the future since people just can't do the right thing, and when they make a mistake, there are no real consequences.
I certainly must agree with theother touchscreens are not as desirable anymore for me. I own an iPhone and the interface is so responsive that I get frustrated when utilizing anything else that has a touch based interface, like an ATM machine. I feel like I have to hit the screen to get it to register, something that only happens when the MobileSafari is misehaving. I can't wait for other touchscreen devices to come up to par with the iPhone/touch interface.
If you are traveling for work, consider asking them for a travel-laptop that you can check-out which contains the regular company image and no related information. If your company is doing the right thing, they will be aware of the policies of Customs agents worldwide. It may seem like a pain, but if they are serious about protecting the data on your computer, they will happily purchase a few. Otherwise it means the policies of drive-encryption, etc.. are all just lip-service.
If it's your personal machine, it's time to format and reinstall. You can restore from the backup when you get home.... You do have a backup, don't you?:)
I'd rather they be LARTING the deathstar, er "new" ATT into FTTH to have a chance to keep up with the bandwidth onslaught. We're reading how Verizon, Comcast, etc.. are going ahead and providing faster data services, and even degrading HDTV content, ditching basic-cable analog channels, etc.. all to obtain further space for packets. We're quickly moving into a multi-tier internet access world. Those with fiber (high speed). Those with copper that can get some flavor of DSL, and those that can get 28.8k dial-up. The majority of the people in ATT/SBC/Bellsouth (and even Qwest) land are going to be rapidly seeing their access speeds fall off and lose significance just the way dial users have already lost except for basic web browsing and email. While satellite is available, it's really in the mid-to-last tier of service speeds.
The interesting thing will be finding out what "the other" iLEC is gonna do. ATT is not gonna keep cranking high speed out of their old copper infrastructure. They're delaying the inevitable IMHO and this will have a very interesting result with the dynamics of the internet over the next two years.
It's very likely this is to meet the realtime reporting/relay requirements of the CALEA statue which governs lawful intercept of voice and data communications.
I for one hope flash never comes to the iPhone. I'm tired of reading everyone beg to have crappy battery life. I appreciate you saying it should be opt out but I suspect most other folks asking for it are not understanding the true impact of their wish on hardware rev 1.
Easiest way is to set up a dns zone for 2o7.net with a * in it pointing to 127.0.0.1. I do this, not because the tracking stuff of the various websites, but because their servers are slow, and much like the slow web-ad servers that make your web browsing painful, 2o7.net does nothing but bring down your page load time.
If you have a squid or similar proxy setup, just block 2o7.net in there. If you're willing to spend some time with your osx box, install squid, and put all your stuff through it and watch all the sites that you're actually hitting. You may find a lot of cache hits and other things you get as a result and speed things up overall. Add this to flashblock, or just disabling plug-ins and your web surfing will be much happier.
Actually most tickets have a license printed on the back of them, much like that wonderful EULA you clicked 'Accept' to get past. Includes stuff like you won't sue if a puck/ball injure you, etc.. Take a closer look next time you attend an event. Perhaps you're not one to attend these events and are busy hiding under your LED lights in your basement:) Either way, the limits are technically there. The fact that nobody has a laptop typing as they are doing the wave is something else...
