I'm not sure how they will regulate it. The beauty of VOIP is that I can plug a phone in anywhere and get service as long as I have network connectivity. Of course bandwith, codec set, and any quality of service settings are very important as well.
Would the regulation be where the VOIP service provider finally does the TDM conversion for the PSTN fall off or would it be on the bandwith and such?
Personally my favorite VOIP product has to be Avaya's IP Softphone. Can telecommute over a VPN, and the sofpthone will override my desk set in my office giving me a fully-featured enterprise phone on my laptop. Just need to get a USB microphone for better quality.
But I must say, that even Ximian's suped up "compatible" version still does wierd things. For example the bullet list in OO is always an outline list (with a funny symbol) in Word. Also Word tables aren't displayed properly in OO.
he IBM Linux Technology Center is the misnomer which refers to the worldwide group within IBM whose mission is to "Accelerate the maturation of standard, architecture-independent Linux into the enterprise", or as we say "Make Linux Better". It's our job to contribute stuff where needed: from one point of view it's a way of collecting a paycheck while working full-time on what I love doing.
The ice is already in the water (ocean), so melting it is not going to increase the sea levels. Remember, water expands when it freezes and it goes back down when you melt it. If you don't believe me, fill a glass full of water and put it in the freezer.
As the earth is still coming out of its last ice age, we shouldn't be too concerned about global warming. What we should be concerned about is desertification due to the lack of vegitation and depletion of the Ozone. Given the natural course of things, the earth will make big dinosaurs, not silly monkeys who play on computers and bitch at eachother.
Anyone else up for a nice honda civic hybrid yet?:)
I've started using redhat9 and Ximian Desktop2 for the past two months at home. I still have to use XP at work (for now...), but even that is starting to change.
If I could only get Xmule to work, I wouldn't have to use Kazaa in the rare event I want to download freely available music:P
Slashdot Mirror
shall set Linux free!! ... and make SCO look like a bunch of assholes. Time to dump that SCO stock if you had made a quick buck on it!

Too bad slashdotting them doesn't delete their files!
In Soviet Russia, the files delete you!

3 laptops and the other essentials (TV, etc) run me a quick $100/month bill in electricity. Must... get... solar..
The sword is mightier than the paintbrush?
Hey, isn't that Microsoft's strategy with Lindows also?
MS: Lindows misrepresents itself as an operating system, encouraging people to buy software that is invalid.
Jimminy Jillickers Captain Meteorite!
super powers from the meteorite yet? =D
has been teaching us to love again. *sniff*
To the moon Alice!
Apparently I haven't... damn, newegg looks a lot like Amazon!
at least it's a clash and not everyone for the patents!
Ah, hopefully things will go well and all these great software projects (and their home pages) will go back to normal!
Also happens to be a member of the Avaya developer program, an excellent way to benefit if you want to develop VOIP applications!
Never had anything delivered in less than 3 days, and I don't shop at circuit city for computers (perhaps DVD players, TV, etc)
Can be found using Dashboard!

Let's all forward this to Jeb Bush so he can get Florida in order before any more shananigans in 2004!

brokencomputer doesn't get online much..
It's sad to say, but the first thing that crossed my mind was "What does this mean for developing a light sabre?!"
Dating back to MUD days, could always have fun killing each other, forming groups, getting purged (ostracized) from a group, etc.
The best online game party has to be when an RPG converts to a chaos-like free-for-all deathmatch/capture the flag. OH YEAH!
