I can't really tell from the interview just what kind of person this individual is - he sounds like he is bored, doesn't care much or anything about the technical side of things...
Ya know, I have been around/. a long time. I have always discounted people posting comments about how/. sucks and is "getting worse". I don't like to criticize/. because it is what it is and I think Taco has done a good job.
However, this time I have to wonder why this interview made the front page. This guy is nothing more that a weed head with a, and I quote, "12 inch mac top".
If the commercial companies claim that it costs $70/month to serve customers in an area, but a community group manages to do it for $30, what does this mean about the $50/month service that they're 'providing' in the high-profit areas?
These laws are not about "Community Groups" providing access. This is about the local government spending taxpayer money to compete with commercial providers for Internet access.
Build a Broadband Co-Op! Just don't make the taxpayer pay for it.
Nitpicky, but your employer can only *ask* you to sign an NDA. They can't *make* you do anything. Of course, if you like the whole 'getting paid' thing, not signing may not be the best option.
Make sure that you are not in debt and have savings. That way you can grow a pair and just say "No".
I have been able to associate within an area where there were at least 6 APs I could see on the same channel I was using. I was more than 100 ft away from the AP. If he can't associate right next to the device and there is no front-end overload from a microwave oven or cordless phone, it's either his config or his hardware.

Yes, and again: who cares about the "free software movement"?
I am a simple COMPUTER USER.
The whole point of GPL is to empower users.
As a user, you should care if you will be able to freely modify, distrubute and use your software.

To quote Ruby Rhod, "That's cuz he's STONED OUT!"

OMG, rm -rf / still works as root too!!
Why is Linux still vulnerable by default?
A large enterprise needs to be sure because it relates to securifying [sic] the environment.
I think that pretty much says it all. This is a quote from one of the people we're to take advice from...
But securifying is double super good for your environment!
Now if you could have a bypass, with a rather large resistor to cut back the outside voltage, then we might have something.
Actually, they are using bypass capacitors for BPL.
Yup, I know it's bad tech. Let me fire up the ole' Icom rig and watch their network come to a screeching halt due to front end overload.
They can't change the laws of physics.

Something I agree with Kerry & Clinton on?
Naa, even broken clocks are correct twice a day. <GRIN>
Apart from that, he makes it seem as though they're "inferior" for not having read "complex texts".
I bet this asshole has never read "The Bat Book".
Did you find out, that in order to make your site SSL aware, you'll need a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate?
WTF is "SSL aware"?
I have had no problem creating and using self signed certs with SSL.

Woops, better clairfy (This IS /.). The data link between the building and the Internet is 802.11b.
This is our amateur radio repeater that uses VoIP to link to other repeaters around the world. The link is 802.11b
Here is the AP that provides access.
Nothing special to do a 1000' link. Just a parabolic grid antenna on the client side.
Here are some parabolic grid antennas.

If you can't get it to work right beside each other, something is broke. Either your configuration or your hardware is broken.

I think you misspelled "citizens".
I would be willing to bet that non-citizens residing in Canada funded it as well.
Wasn't the power out anyway?
Not in the places they were talking to.
This is a bit more plausable, though it's certainly not easy to talk to somebody 12,000 miles away with only 5 watts and a simple dipole antenna.
I hold in my hand a QSL card from F5CWU (France) for a QSO on 10 Meters. My output was 5 watts, AM into a 10 meter J-Pole. My signal report was 58.

Or you could just use Kismet to look for the local PD car's computer probing for stuff to associate with.
The Taliban, who ruled Afghanistan with little tolerance for deviation from its strict interpretation of the Koran, appears to have given bin Laden's loyalists complete freedom. "They wanted protection and power for themselves," said Naqeeb, a Jalalabad doctor who said he came to know many members of al Qaeda through his private medical clinic. "They wanted to work in Afghanistan and not be disturbed."
