Sorry, but you can tack on a radio tower and claim to have the "tallest skyscraper." IMHO, it ain't the tallest unless you're comparing height from lowest occupiable space (sub-basement) to highest occupiable space (penthouse floor). Spires are mere decoration and airplane hazards.
Do you have any contacts you'd recommend in the RTP (North Carolina) area? So far just running through the yellow pages listings of agencies doesn't seem to be that successful...
I'd guess they think since the FCC is responsible for governing communications that it has more jurisdiction...but as you say, it still has to wade its way through the court system.

Practical mod_perl

IAAPD (I am a Perl Developer).
While Learning Perl gets you started pretty quickly and Programming Perl gets you up to speed, there is still a lot to learn about this complex language.
Likewise, Apache is very complex itself. When you decide to combine them with mod_perl, you have an ever more complex situation to figure out. As one of the other individuals on this thread pointed out, examples are highly prized, and previously there weren't many to be had with a nice detailed explanation. That's the niche this book fills, and from reading the review, it sounds like it does that nicely.
I don't work with mod_perl (although I have worked with Mason code that used mod_perl), so I can't justify buying the book right now, but I would like to take a peek at it sometime.
By the by, if someone needs a Perl developer in the Raleigh area who has 2 years experience with Mason, Apache, and Verity and 3-4 years experience with Perl, let me know.
Yeah...or maybe they're really sick of the stuff they've been putting up with dealing with SCO and decided that 1. IBM is in the right and 2. they're gonna make SCO pay big time.
I'm not so sure about possible repeals. The thing that made Congress act so quickly (and so unanimously) was their own distaste for telemarketing. Politicians are people too, and don't like being interrupted at dinner with an "informational offer" any more than the rest of us do. What I do expect is to see the 8 who voted against this bill crucified by their opponents in the next election.
Someone posted it on this thread. What would be worse is if everyone called them at 3 am soliciting money for the "fund for the betterment of [insert unemployed person's name here]". Be prepared with your paypal number just in case they really want to donate.
How do you figure that? If it's 50 million phone lines, then the number of people involved is going to be less than the number of lines because for all people N, some number own at least one and possibly more (e.g., if you signed up the main home line, the office line, and the cell). Now, of course, if we're talking 80-100 million lines....
I'm curious...what are the technical limitations/capabilities/regulations/etc of using a ham frequency for data transmission instead of 802.11? For example, is it possible to use them for a live data link from home to automobile over some range? Or am I smoking crack?
I completed the poll (FEAR FEAR FEAR) (semi-serious), but that was when it was still a category 5. Now at Category 2, with expected winds of up to 40 mph, I'm staying put in my apartment.
Fair question. Guess I'm curious how it compares in climate and culture to the US...people nicer? Politicians more honest? Economy better? I already figure it snows more and has less hurricanes and earthquakes:) (living in Raleigh, hurricanes are rather on my mind at present).
Oh well, the closest I get is being 1/8 Swede and driving a Volvo:)
Dunno why I'm answering someone who uses the word "frist" and then accuses someone else of being "dyslectic" (try "first" and "dyslexic"), but here's an attempt...
It all goes back to shortly after members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as "Mormons") colonized Utah and the surrounding areas. At the time, the territory belonged to Mexico (and the Ute Indians). Brigham Young, leader of the church, petitioned the United States for admision to the Union. His envisioned territory comprised Utah, parts of Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona, and was called "Deseret." He intended it to be the largest state in the Union, and drew the geographic boundaries in such a way as to maximize natural resources for the territory. The US liked the idea of acquiring the land, but weren't enthused about having a single large entity controlled by Mormons. So they carved out several states from Mexican territory...
In any case, the word comes from a book of scripture used by Latter-day Saints. The word signifies the honey bee, and was chosen because Latter-day Saint people believe in being industrious.
Having done Ada coding for class (can you believe the Comp Sci department at Auburn University thought Ada was better than Java?) I'll speak a little bit to the language. It's designed for security in safety for real time environments (e.g., cruise missiles, airplane navigation and radar systems, etc). It's also been lately abandoned by the DoD.
The idea is that it's supposed to provide operational security, but since Ada is translated to C and then compiled (that's what gnat does-- "GNU Ada Translator") I'm sure there are the usual compiled C code vulnerabilities.
Syntactically, it's like (was designed based on) Pascal, so you be the judge as to ease of learning. My assesment is that it is verbose and (being strongly typed) a pain to program in (then again, I'm a Perl guy first).
I don't recall what (if any) networking libraries exist for Ada, so I don't even know if the project is possible.

hmmm...yes...what about compiling curses 4 on an OSX box? last time I tried, it refused.......

Well, you can get PuTTY for a windows ssh client...all you need after that is an ssh server somewhere with lynx... 'luck :)
get a shell account and lynx man. either that or clobber the head of IT.

Heh...my reaction is quite similar to yours except I thought
s/Get another fsking job!/Get real fsking job!/;
I think so...I used to hang out on an IRC channel with a lot of people who were both from Utah and were telemarketing (the pigs).
Global Crossing now provides free open relays for spammers... (OK, not really, but I'm gonna have nightmares about it tonight)

Yeah, thanks for rubbing that one in (I see you checked both of us) :)
That statistic (and page) is created by a friend and former co-worker of mine.
By the way, noticed you have a Swedish email address...what's it like living in Sweden? (My great grandparents were Swedish immigrants to the US).
Ya got me on that one :)

lsh ain't done til SCO won't run...err...yeah...
No, no, no! The "Cancel" doorbell should activate a Tesla coil that fries them out of their boots!
d. preach religion to them. tell them that their souls are in danger of permanent damnation unless they repent of their evil telemarketing ways. :)
