I don't think you'd get a COOP working, but you may be able to get the municipality to do so. You can do that in Kansas, but not Missouri, it's illegal. Same with Nebraska, Texas and Arkansas. The telecoms are actively lobbying to get laws passed in other states as well.
The proper thing to do is sit back and wait, the telcos are sitting on a huge pile of money we gave them in the 90s to build these fiber networks, they'll get to your town soon....
Self signed certs DO NOT make traffic encrypted. If you think they do, you're a complete idiot.
The point of SSL is to protect against man in the middle attacks. If you're in the middle and able to control somebody's session, all you have to do is re-sign the session with a CA you control. The end user has NO WAY OF KNOWING YOU DID THAT since they don't have a trusted CA on their computer to validate the session against. Self signed certs are a completely pointless waste of time and CPU.
Repeat after me
SSL without a certificate authority is a pointless waste. SSL without a certificate authority is a pointless waste. SSL without a certificate authority is a pointless waste.
That's not enough, there are cases where the guy IDs the girl and the ID looks good, if it's a fake, you're still a criminal for life. It's very very risky being male.
You could put the laser on a boat with a nuclear power source. We already have both technologies. The firestrike laser comes to mind, it can do 100kw with an array of them. You'd need a longer ablation time, but the junk would still start moving.
Wow, calm down. You have to work the system sometimes, it's the nature of the beast. A little sugar goes a long way. Failing that, you can also report the up your chain that this Sergeant Major isn't letting you accomplish your mission.
Also, like I said, some IT is run better than others. In those cases, not to far past the IT and Security managers there's somebody with a bird or a star that needs to fix their organization.
'the army' isn't one big magical network, it's actually hundreds of separate AD domains, and there is more than one branch of the military, some fly planes, some sail ships, some get shot at, they all have different ways of finding people to manage those AD domains. Some suck, some don't. I can tell you those that don't suck do indeed install the correct certificate authorities.
I've accidentally flown with my micra (on my key chain of course) through security before, but I do try to avoid it since I'd rather not throw it away if they find it.
This is a really good idea though, unfortunately I mainly need 2 car keys and a house key and I think the car keys are too long.:(
Umm, the person who found the phone did contact the owner. The owner then ignored him.
So the car analogy would be: "Well, I was at this bar and found these car keys, I knew exactly who they belonged to and tried to give them to him. He laughed and said there's no way you have my cars keys. Then he slammed the door in my face, so I sold the car."
- Congress should mandate with a simple law that the telephone company must provide DSL to any customer requests it (within six months). The twisted-pair lines are already there, except for the need to add a neighborhood DSLAM. If Verizon/ATT/whoever balk about expense, simply point to the billions they received circa 1996 and say "use that". Actually the expense should be quite low to upgrade existing phone lines to DSL lines.
So you're proposing that instead of the taxpayer paying for it via taxes, the customers will pay for it via price increases handed down by the providers to cover the extra costs?
So it's OK for everyone to pay for it as long as it's not called taxes? Brilliant.
Did you even read what he said? We ALREADY paid for it with our taxes in the 90s, instead of building out broadband THEY STOLE THE MONEY.
Why in the world don't you just map your control key to caps lock? I don't know if there's a way to do it in the BIOS, but it's remapped in linux/win7 on my T series and it works great.
Realplayer (before tivo): video bits get sucked off the internet (which may be digitized in real time on the other end) and stuck into a ring buffer, pointer streams data off buffer, decodes and displays it. You can move the pointer around the buffer.
Tivo: video bits get sucked off a video digitizer and stuck into a ring buffer, pointer streams data off buffer, decodes and displays it. You can move the pointer around the buffer.
Dish (after tivo): video bits get sucked off a video digitizer and stuck into a ring buffer, pointer streams data off buffer, decodes and displays it. You can move the pointer around the buffer.
Maybe I'm dumb, but I fail to see how using a ring buffer to store video is worthy of a patent.
I still don't get why people say sprint is so bad. I've never had a problem here in my medium sized midwest city (~million people in the metro). I switched to ATT/Cingular for 2 years and OMG it was garbage, I'd cross my fingers every time I tried to make a call, if I left the city I'd be better off just pretending I didn't have a phone. Verizon didn't even have coverage here a couple years ago and it is still garbage from everybody I've talked to that got suckered into switching to them. I've rarely even had problems in larger cities with them and spent a couple hours fixing a server just a few weeks ago with broadband speeds next to a lake outside the city with no problems.
I've also never had a problem with their customer support. Where does all the hate come from?
Sadly, though- companies like blip.tv have already filled the niche of high-quality videos, and they're getting attacked left and right by other sites like metafilter which already does revenue sharing...and there are a billion and one embedded FLV hosting sites...
I think you meant metacafe the video site, and not metafilter the community weblog.
That aside, I once read somewhere that web 2.0 companies don't want paying customers. They want eyeballs, they're easier to get than cash, and much less of a hassle. Google being an advertising company, that's doubly true.
Which is downright idiotic. When it was free, Redhat was EVERYWHERE. Almost the instant they stopped putting isos out, that changed. Sure, you have fedora, but its such a moving target you can't really use it on sort of stable system. I hope that by focusing on their core business, which is distributing and supporting open source software, they'll see the light and start to ship a free enterprise level distro again. Yes, I use CentOS, but that doesn't really contribute to the Redhat name, or provide a path for them to provide support in exchange for money when its needed.
Exactly. I have a sprint ppc-6700 (htc apache, verizon xv6700, etc). It's a brick, and it's a poor phone and a poor web browser/pda. If i could get something like this I'd just get whatever thin non-pocket busting cheap phone I can from sprint and teather it with the nokia most of the time and teather with my laptop when I need something more. Not to mention the nokia has gps, which would be really handy since I don't own one of those yet, and I could use it as a phone around the house, etc, etc.
If you read the actual source. Instead of the blog post you'd see they have a 64gb 1.8" IDE version too. I'm not sure if the current interface standard for 1.8" drives is IDE or S-ATA, but I'm sure they'll put the appropriate connector and interface chip on whatever they sell when they ship them.
I know that's what the big labels want, but it's not what everybody else wants, and it's pretty easy to present to the lawmakers as being very unfair. Once the internet broadcast industry reaches a critical mass it will be much harder for them to raise fees.
The fees are based on audience already. They use marketing data to determine how many listeners listen to the FM station (advertisers care too, so if the station deflates figures they make less money from advertisers).
See my other comment, broadcast and internet radio pay the same ASCAP/BMI fees to the songwriters based on listener reach.
Internet radio ONLY (NOT terrestrial radio) has to pay a reproduction fee to the RIAA, because you sit at home all day recording songs off internet radio complete with cross-fades and announcer blurbs. They raised this 'reproduction' fee to very high levels and that's what will kill internet radio. What, you don't sit at home all day taping internet radio stations? Call congress and get this fixed.
No, it does not apply to regular radio. In America, regular radio AND internet radio pay performance royalty fees to ASCAP/BMI based on a percentage of revenue formula. That fee goes to the songwriters.
For Internet radio ONLY, they ALSO have to pay a 'reproduction' fee, since internet radio is SOOOOO much different than regular radio according to congress. This fee goes to... you guessed it, directly to the RIAA, not the songwriters or artists. That's the fee they raised to obscene levels and what is threatening to kill internet radio.

I've seen a few other cases as well.
That, and they half-ass open sourced it. A whole bunch essential components are still closed source.

The solution to broadband is ridiculously easy -
- Congress should mandate with a simple law that the telephone company must provide DSL to any customer requests it (within six months). The twisted-pair lines are already there, except for the need to add a neighborhood DSLAM. If Verizon/ATT/whoever balk about expense, simply point to the billions they received circa 1996 and say "use that".

Film at 11.
Don't you mean "Streaming digital video at 11"?
Or "Streaming digital video when you have some free time to watch it".
Bah, digitizers that streamed to disk were out way before tivo. I remember throwing an old one for a mac in a dumpster around the time tivo came out.
What's the technique difference?
Realplayer (before tivo): video bits get sucked off the internet (which may be digitized in real time on the other end) and stuck into a ring buffer, pointer streams data off buffer, decodes and displays it. You can move the pointer around the buffer.
Tivo: video bits get sucked off a video digitizer and stuck into a ring buffer, pointer streams data off buffer, decodes and displays it. You can move the pointer around the buffer.
