    Lookup "benjk" at the IRC #asterisk channel on freenode.
    He's the guy that tuned me into them because they have 6 PCI slots that *don't* share IRQs!
    That is the way all PC hardware should be run.

    Yellow Dog Linux is what he suggested for the OS.

    Guys in BC are reporting a LOT of rain.
    Trees budding already.

    No doubt there is a lot of changes going on all over the place.
    From where I sit, things are just not right at all.

    If Alberta does not get a sustained snow/rain fall before spring, there is going to be water restrictions/bans and a whole lot of fire fighting going on.

    The fire fighters I work for are already reporting for duty in January.
    That is just crazy.

    Just so you don't think I'm doing the Chicken Little dance, here is the long term forcast 9-12 months, from environment Canada:

    ...when you have a termination provider capable of connecting with SIP phones.

    Otherwise, when I go to a computer recycling depot, all I see is Asterisk boxes.

    I have run 4 lines on my 450MHz box with no degradation at all.

    You can buy cheap FXO cards for $10 and unlock Vonage Linksys PAP2s for $10 per FXS port.
    Slap that together with a $25 PowerMAC 9600 and bam!

    Canada is going through some serious changes right now.
    Normally, it is -30 degrees Celcius (-30 x 1.8 + 32 = -86F) here.
    We are currently at +10C and sustaining this over weeks.
    That is a 40C or 50F difference!

    If they keep raising prices for sellers, no doubt eBay will make it worth my while.

    The biggest hurdle is getting enough participants.
    And to do that you need more than Genius now that eBay has captured most of the market.

    They know this and therefore will continue to slowly increase the thumb screws.

    So what eBay is saying is now that we own the North American market, we'll keep raising the fees.

    Does anyone know of any other good online auctions?
    Maybe its time we start to take our money to the competition so we can get a break like the Chinese.

    A saturation of Google news about yet another service or company take over is proof enough that they are far off course from their original "core" ideas.

    Search engine technology has much to improve and I'm certain this can be done without Google controlling every aspect of my life.

    I'm off the Google tit for now.
    There are other search engines and for now spreading my use among all of them seems to be the best strategy.

    Regardless, the cake-hole stuffing, Wall-Mart shopping public will no doubt care not.

    "spread over an area nearly 5,000 times the size of a full moon,"

    Interesting wording.
    So that must mean 5000 full moons in the sky?

    Moon = 1800 arc seconds
    or 1800/60 = 30 arc minutes.
    or 30/60 = .5 degree

    When I build my space port, now I know who to call on for preliminary engineering consultation.

    It seems the main concept is to increase exposure of solar cells by allowing the craft to maneuver independantly using gimbles on thrusters.
