No it doesn't. This will use a separate SSID and external IP address from your home connection (as well a separate channel). While I don't agree with this practice, misstating how it works helps no one.
Bell is not an upstream carrier in this case. This is a tariffed (government mandated) last mile service. The contracts and pricing are identical for all wholesale customers (with some minor variance for volume). Wholesalers purchase last mile service from Bell, which is then aggregated and backhauled to an interconnect with Bell (called an AHSSPI - Aggregated High Speed Service Provider Interface) and dumped on the respective wholesaler's network. The wholesaler is not necessarily purchasing Internet transit (which is a completely separate service) from Bell (your "upstream carrier"). This is being done at the CO-level, long before it hits the wholesaler's network and is not being done on their transit services.
This affects sympatico customers as well. Bell started by throttling *only* Sympatico customers, and found that this didn't help with congestion issues as it just freed up more bandwidth for the wholesalers. Be that as it may, they have no right to do any sort of DPI/throttling on wholesale customers. Wholesale customers are just purchasing last mile from Bell, which is backhauled into their respective networks, which they buy their own transit for.
I've worked as a sysadmin at a company that provided consulting services to a range of clients. I was lucky in that my manager was very technically competent (moreso than I in a lot of areas, though I loved to impress him with my knowledge in other areas).
He controlled the company infrastructure, which we had limited or no access to beyond user priveleges (with the exception of our desktops). As long as our desktops were functional, had the software appropriate to our jobs, we had flexibility in terms of software, OS, etc, and I had a personal server to try things out on (not to mention a vmware install). He'd do things that we didnt have a lot of time for or want to do (push out updates, upgrade servers, etc). It was a great environment to work in.
Your aim should be to provide what they need to get their job done, and in general make their lives easier. What you shouldnt do is police their desktops, or be heavy-handed. After all, they're used to the freedom of being at the top of the IT chain, and that's generally where they flourish. If they dont have the sense to maintain a halfway workable machine, then that's a discussion you'll have to have with the individual employee.
To summarize, support them, make their lives easier, but dont police them!
It's a shame IBM no longer makes Thinkpads, since they just sold their personal computing division. I'm quite disappointed, since thinkpads were the best notebook on the planet, imho. Not to mention TrackPoint > *
But that's exactly what he was advocating. By denying the holocaust, he was trying to incite violence and hate against Jews. The same thing Hitler did.
Except if you consider the fact that it's designed almost entirely using laptop parts which are expensive to upgrade, and just aren't designed for the 24/7 duty cycle of a web server.
When did they choose the site? I havent kept up with it in quite some time, but I checked the ITER website this morning, and according to it the site hadn't yet been chosen. Admittedly, the site hasn't been updated since what appears to be mid-December
I think you mean fusion, not fission. And we're already exploring it. There's project called ITER which has the goal of building an experimental fusion reactor, to help in the development of commercial fusion reactors. They are currently in the process of choosing a site.

Do they really give out the hashes with no intention of letting you download the files?
Yes. As long as you have a Cisco.com account (free), you can view the filenames/hashes/release notes for all their releases.

I think you're overly optimistic about the performance of most routers...
'Nuff said.

that's a very interesting question...something I'd love to hear someone with more than my trivial understanding of physics take a crack at
