  1. Re:Cisco does more than make good stuff on BusinessWeek On XORP vs. Cisco · · Score: 1

    I think this is why they have SmartNet agreements... so that you can get exactly the support you are looking for.

    Ok, so what you have to realize here is the that the lock on your door is not actually stopping anyone from coming into your house. It is a very ineffective way to secure your house. Yet you still do it day in and day out.

    You know why? It's because all you really have to do is take reasonable precautions to be covered by the law, otherwise break and entry would also be legal.

  3. Re:Japan and Korea less rural on Why You Don't Have a Broadband Connection · · Score: 1
    Really, I think what helped the most is that our Telco's were allowed to keep monopolies for much longer than the Telco's in the US. This allowed them to build a better infrastructure.

    Here is a link from CNET, about Sasktel high speed access (News.com) that was available in 1996.

    Here is another article stating that Sasktel was the first in Canada to offer high speed (Point-topic.com), and if I remember correctly it was the first place in North America as well.

    Actually this was not done on South Park first, it was done on Mad TV.

    Something else that you forgot was that MTV won't even play videos that Muchmusic will, and oh yeah, now that Much is in the States, they can't play those videos on the channels in the States... What's up with that?

  6. Re:What Id like to know... on Linux 2.2.18 Released · · Score: 1
    It seems to me that RedHat has included this patch (which I use as well) into the kernel they send out (with 7.0 as well). I continue to use the pptp patch without issues. Just download the patch and patch it. I know that it will patch onto the 2.2.18 patch.

    Catch ya later!

    I would be interested in this URL if you still have it.

    Can you post it?

  8. It is soooo reliable that... on Microsoft Says Windows More Reliable Than Sun · · Score: 1
    Microsoft cannot currently run hotmail with NT only.

    This of course if running NT 4, but have they tried to move it over using Win2K... I would almost suspect that they would be scared to try.

    This of course is just my $0.02

    Not to burst your bubble (and not that I have any love for M$), but Bill & his wife donated $16 billion last year, thereby making your comparision...

    100 billion net work Gates -> 16 billion = 16%
    50000 net work for that guy, donate 5k = 10%

    Bye for now.

  10. Another real life story... on Nothing But Net - For Five Days · · Score: 1

    Here is another "experiment". There is a guy, a girl, and a computer... it is being run by CTV (in Toronto). The premise is that they are put in a loft in Toronto, with themselves (in robes), a computer with an internet feed, and a $20,000 VISA. Now they have to 'live'. There is also a live feed... so check it out here.
