  1. After reading these comments on The U.N.'s Push for Power Over the Internet · · Score: 1

    I see that we have a lot of work to do on the education front. I advise any citizens of the USA to live in one of these countries for a few months or longer and then come back to this discussion. The Department of Commerce is doing a good job of paying the bills and the AD-Hoc nature is working well for everything else. Vint Cerf even when out of his way to mention this recently. Always remember that the Internet started as a DARPA project to keep communication up when actions happen to prevent it.

    The Internet is here. Its for looking at lolcats.

  2. Concepcion, Chile: not the second largest City... on Chilean Earthquake Shortened Earth's Day · · Score: 2, Informative

    While I am new to Chile I do know my facts. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities_in_Chile#Largest_cities Concepción is not even in the top 10 Cities. The Conurbation of Concepción is the second largest Conurbation.

  3. Re:Better than on How Telescopes Deal With Earthquakes In Chile · · Score: 2, Informative

    The news being broadcast in the USA show pictures of destruction of a few places, the tsunamis are the big concern as the Chileans watch the news of deaths in Asia... I walked to the office today in Vina and did not see any issues with buildings other than some broken windows... A crack in the cooling system on the Data Center is the biggest damage I have experienced...

  4. Re:Skeptical on "Clear" Air-Travel Pass Data Stolen From SFO · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sad to say but I think that you are on to something. I get several emails offering to buy and sell contact lists on email all the time. I wonder exactly what the product line looks like for these groups that buy and sell lists? "For an extra $500 you get matching SSN"!!! "Need us to sort the data, we will stop by and pick up your laptop with cash payment and completed police report."

    Why not purchase as an employee gift. I would not buy from Dell myself but if I did that is what I would do.

  14. Re:school and 911 on Which Asterisk Or Other VoIP System To Deploy? · · Score: 1

    Emergancy services are not what you think they are. I have in the past created my own 911 directory in a dialplan to keep calling dispatchs until one answers, the truth would scare you. The OP ask about a VoIP PBX not VoIP Services as he wants to replace a PBX, not the telephone company.

  15. Layers on Which Asterisk Or Other VoIP System To Deploy? · · Score: 3, Informative

    You will need many layers to this project. As an Asterisk Consultant I can advise you but am far to busy to help.

    Network Layer - Proper planning and routing on paper a month before install.

    Hardware Layer - People care about phones, they may not mention it but they do. For a school where emergancy services are key I would look for a ten year solution. Water cooling, oversized tyan system with raid->lvm->xen->ntp,bind,asterisk,www,tftp,etc.... .

    Software Layer - For optimal performance I would document the current system and call flow. Then redocument it with the receptionist. Submit this to a professional like Digium to work your dialplan and config the needed modules.

    Training Layer - Users will have to see some change or they will start complaining that it is not the old system. Be calm and polite, normal personel rules apply.

    Documentation Layer - Extension Directories, move-add-changes, redundancy systems. You and others need to know how it all works, and the users need to know who to call.
