How non-random can a Mersenne number be when there's only 42 (or 48, depending on how you interpret your paragraph above)? Maybe I don't understand your use of 'non-random'.
I've been calling that girl on Skype at echo123 for quite a while now, but she doesn't shut up until near the end of the call, but then she plays everything I say back to me as if to suggest I shouldn't say anything incriminating. Maybe it's Tripp's new job?
What you seem to be saying is that there supposedly isn't any "unnecessary" traffic going on... just essential outbound web transactions from your staff and incoming customer web traffic. Plus the apparent Skype calls that you say were being bogged down. A shaper such as a Packeteer Packetshaper allows you to distribute the bandwidth equally among applications and protocols to make sure one thing doesn't hog the whole pipe. You can assure "quality of service" for the VoIP calls to designate a minimum needed bandwidth for those calls.
But if you still find yourself with choppy calls and a reduction in response for your web site, then maybe you should re-evaluate your internet bandwidth and see if you have the appropriate for your needs.
For example, if you're trying to run a 20 person office plus a website off a 128K ISDN line, then that's not enough no matter how well you 'shape' it. You might need one or multiple T1s or a fractional T3. But not knowing anything about your business needs or applications, I can't be more specific.
Then maybe your company needs a traffic shaper, or needs to reconsider their bandwidth needs. Layer 7 traffic shapers exist that will examine the type of traffic and prioritize it according to set rules. Packeteer Packetshaper, Allot NetEnforcer, I think, for a few.

Read the links you reference, it looks like the problem is third party software SAM - not Skype. It even says in the 'known bugs' that an incoming SAM call will be routed to the same sound card as a currently active outgoing Skype call.
Sorry, with the 10-day after ship price protection, and automatic price changes on not-yet-shipped orders, your conspiracy falls apart. None of the 'early adopters' got screwed on this one, despite your suggestions. Anyone smart enough to call Apple got refunds. Story over.
Oh, yeah, does anyone know the correct pronounciation of Skype? It reads in my head as SKIPE, but a friend of mine insists it's correctly pronounced SKIPPY.
Have you ever called echo123? That should give you your answer.
Have you seen Airline on A&E? Southwest's passengers are largely leisure travelers (oops, no pun intended) who will travel whenever Southwest has flights available. And with a point-to-point route schedule, that's not going to be with the frequency or at the times that a business traveler might need. Nor are most business travelers going to be willing to stand in the "C" cattle line and end up with a middle seat.
When I fly United, I need them to go when I need to fly, not just the 3 times a day that LUV might fly between A&B.
Plus Southwest doesn't cover near the amount of cities I need to fly to... between being elite on United and Northwest, you'd have to pay me to step foot on Southwest metal.
This guy is a "Web page designer"? And the site he put up is the best he could do to showcase his web design skills? Paragraphs of centered H1 and H2's? With a clipart photo from Microsoft Works 3.0? In front of the Sydney Harbor Bridge?
Oh yeah, I'll be hiring that guy to do MY website.
Isn't this the same problem with many other consumer/quasi-business networking products? Iogear's BOSS NAS device (same as Tritton NAS device and apparently OEM'd by MCT), run off a Linux Kernel customized by the manufacturer.
MCT, and by default Tritton and Iogear, according to this site, are not living up to their GPL obligations on these NAS devices.
Yeah, but those using Outleak or Outleak Express find that their PST or mail folder files are in a completely different obscure location. I could probably think of a few more examples but that's what the parent is probably talking about.
Give me a home folder that contains everything I do. Let me back it up to CD. Then I can wipe the machine and copy back my home dir. As it is you have to go looking all over kingdom come to find email files, PAB address books, etc etc.
Already posted my review a couple weeks ago as a comment in the original story comparing these devices. Here it is again.
Look at their website www.canarywireless.com for product images. This thing is really small, about the same width as a PCMCIA card, but about 3/4 to 1 inch shorter. It is about 1 inch thick though. It came well packaged, but after ordering on Sunday night, it took them until Wednesday evening to get it out the door with expedited shipping.
Press the one button, and it says "Wifi Detect" on the dot-matrix LCD screen and begins scanning. When it finds an AP, it scrolls the SSID, signal strength in bars, Secure or Open for WEP status, and Ch:__ (showing 1-11 or 1-13 depending on country I think).
It is reasonably sensitive... it picks up my roof mounted D-Link DWL-2700AP with WEP, shows three bars and "Secure". This is from the below-grade basement of a wood-framed house; the AP is on the top of the one-story peak roof on the other end of my house. The Hotspotter picks up the signal better than my laptops (or at least according to the ultra-subjective comparitive # of bars).
After you read the first result, press the button again and it says "Scanning". It will display the info for the next AP it can hear. And so on.
The "instruction" cardlet in the blister pack says it powers off in about 30 seconds, but it seems shorter than that... didn't time it though. When it powers itself down, it starts from the beginning again with the apparently strongest signal, you have to click back through again for more scans.
This device also picks up my neighbor's Apple Airport Extreme, while I am inside my front living room (wood frame construction) and his AE is inside his brick home. We are about 100 feet apart. Not bad through those materials. The device reads "Cloaked" because he has SSID turned off and WEP on, but it does show good sig strength and the correct channel (I know because I set it up). He gets his internet from my roof AP, into a stock (indoor) WET11 that feeds the WAN port on the AE.
Curiously it won't pick up my Linksys befw11s4 while scanning it from within the same room. It's open with SSID broadcast on. I've gone elsewhere in the house in case I am swamping the front end of this thing but no dice. Will test it another day on other Linksys devices I have elsewhere.
Anyways, it seems the feature set and signal sensitivity make it the choice of devices in this roundup.

Now that 400GB SATA drives are offered as options in the XServe RAID, does that mean I can get those drives as BTO in a Powermac soon? I think the highest they offer the moment in the G5 is 2x250.
So do you have a definitive "how-to" (or "how-not-to" ???) guide, say, for new employees in a small business that have to use the intenet extensively as part of their job, but are not as experienced as the 'admin' types?
Or do you know where a nice concise 2 to 3 page guide exists somewhere on the web?
The admin types here can easily brush off any scam or spam or internet background garbage because, as you said, they deal with it every day. But the average joe user needs a nice little booklet that they read on day one that says "on the internet (or on our corporate network), don't do this, or this, or this, etc". And they would sign off on it just like they do the employee handbook.
I've been writing one for our users in bits and pieces but I'd like to see one done elsewhere as an example.
