a good one is at angryarab. It's from a non-religious arab guy who teaches middle eastern studies in california. He seems to know his business.
FWIW I initially heard him on Flashpoints on Pacifica radio, that's produced out of KPFA in Berkeley and I hear it on KPFT 90.1 Houston, 89.5 Galveston
maybe one of their dbs is down or something, but when I try to get a hit on haam.us or state.tx.us I get this:

I almost thought they'd been slashdotted.
Sure, AOL, the well, mindspring, all those and others were "online providers" way back when, but there weren't really any ISPs so early on: AOL didn't even have internet access until the mid-nineties. It wasn't a lot more than a big bloated BBS. Ten years ago the Internet was mostly educational, experimental, and government sites. more.edu's than.com's that's for sure.
Sometimes we have that problem with the cable plants here (suburban Houston), too, but you can bet if the cable plant needs to be extended towards someone's house that there's no way in hell DSL is anywhere close.
Personally I think it would be a good thing to lock down the hard drive (except temp files maybe?), but aside from CDs and floppies it might make sense in this day and age to make USB mass storage accessible too. I don't know if a lot of teenagers have usb keys for storage, but they are cheap enough now that they're a pretty good solution for generic portable storage. It might make sense in the context of a card reader or digital camera to do this too.
yeah, it does imply that things are slipping through the cracks, that's why they are spending money on this, at least that's the obvious reason on the face of this.
Imtech appears to have lots of Homeland Security contracts as well as a GSA contract so I think there is probably a bigger story behind all this, but in a nutshell you are correct sir.
Incidentally it looks like Imtech is using some pretty nifty DLP displays from Mitsubishi, the DLP part is from TI: DLP.com
If they're bouncing off zombies, ostensibly the zombie server is a virus or trojan or whatever, which means it could be written to utilize whichever port whoever codes the thing wants.
the graph showing no signal when the microphone is turned off is no surprise and proves nothing. The microphone being turned off closes (shorts) the circuit which would naturally soak any signal (no potential between neg and pos since they're shorted). If you killed the mic by opening the circuit, you would get environmental noise through your speakers, since as was mentioned the microphone and/or cable could act as an antenna in this condition. Additionally the "handkerchief" test case doesn't really prove anything either since as it was mentioned it's non-conductive and as such RF noise would go through it. what they need to eliminate relevant factors is not a audio noise filter but an RF noise filter such as an earth-grounded conductive mesh around the recording apparatus.
This sounded cool to me for a few seconds until I thought, what happens when the cashier at the quick-n-go tries to verify your credit card against your license?

I hope this helps turn other places around, here in Texas it's against the law for utility companies to offer internet service. I still haven't been able to figure out why not...

How do you figure that?
Well, you wouldn't want to invade their privacy.

you insensitive clod!
I've heard people griping about the short battery life on the wireless mice they already have. Won't a laser exacerbate the problem?
if wine is not an emulator, then Darwine can't be wine, right?
on that sixth one are you talking about the nanotubes or the bucky-other-shapes?

can I install slackware on it?
no, 'cause he's dead

Houston: 617 Square miles in city limits, greater Houston metro area: 8778 square miles
On a different note, I don't think most people have ever heard of Rio Rancho.
Also is this a picture of a panel antenna?
FWIW the visitor center at JSC is not run by nasa but by a third party non-profit corp and it is mostly there to entertain children imho.

Fiberoptic CATV Cable is a lot harder to splice than copper phone cable, I would expect it to take a long time.

450 inches Diagonal? That thing wouldn't even fit in the enterprise bridge... that's like 10 meters...
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!

who says you have to use port 25 to run a mail server? wouldn't a spammer use a less obvious port?

fwiw some companies will make this stuff up for you to your specs, with labeling and everything. don't recall who, but I've seen it... google it.
