Would you still say that if you weren't able to get the medical help you needed in a disaster because your area's backup emergency communications system (which most probably uses ham radio) was wiped out by BPL?
In other words, we are going to sacrifice our country's emergency communications system so that people can get internet access more easily? I don't think so!
Certain companies (name starts with N and ends in etgear) will go through the knowledge base, try the solutions there and then tell you that you device is broken, and tell you to exchange it for a new one. Talk about bad tech support.
But others, like MacSense have tech support people (web) who actually know what they are talking about.
It is rather annoying to be told that a product that works perfectly fine is broken (especially when its the second time they said that).
Wow. I wouldn't really consider EME very popular. Also, isn't it mainly CW.
To all you people commenting about telecommunications via the moon, its not all that funny. Its kina (really) cool that the moon can be used as a great big satellite. It paved the way for satelites of today. Also, we amateurs regularly evaluate our stations's radiated power, so the risk of cancer is very low.
It is very good to be looking out for gaping security hole. Pointing them out to the owners of the site is a very good thing to do. Broadcasting them to the world is not. If you find something thats really bad, email it to the owners of the site or post it using the sensitive issues procedures. We all would hate t oget blasted with spam or hacked because some evil person heard about a gaping security hole.
But, as soon as a fix is available, all the users of the site should know about the hole and what to do about it.
PS: I think that this may be a little (very) redundant.
True. But, there is no perfect solution. While this may sound very gross to us, it is better than starving to death. And like anything, the technology behind the filters will probably become better as time goes on.
Also, I think the more important function of these meals-in-a -pouches are that they can be used with dirty water. Think about how much they could help people in poor parts of the world.
The bags sound like they can be used as water filters too. While the bags were invented for the military, I think that they have many non-military uses as well.
But you know, I always thought that Caldrea Linux (server-style) was a great product. I was sad to see it go. But now I am a devoted Cobalt Neworks fan.
Webmin can really screw you up though. I tried to use it on a Cobalt (old sun) server, and it totally messed the server up.
Personally, I say that there is nothing better than a command line, your favorite text editor and Google (or any other searh engine to find answers). cfengine does sound nice, though.
But, for those of you who dislike the command line, Linuxconf, http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/linuxconf/ works nicley for me under redhat and cobalt 5.
And, for automation, what would we do without cron and at?

That makes an electronic discovery action on all your servers and desktops sound really nice!

Its good to see them get rejected.
