I can't comment too much about the tethering, though I've already hacked it up to be a wireless access point.
But no, you do NOT need to pay an additional $15 for Exchange. Only corporate accounts ($45 per line) are charged extra for Exchange.
Contrary to popular belief, T-1s are not oversubscribed. A T-1 is guaranteed bandwidth. As well, you're not really paying much for the bandwidth itself, you're paying for the Service Level Agreement (SLA). What that means is that if your circuit goes down, someone's head usually rolls. In other words, you get a reimbursement for your down time, or at least someone who tries to get you back running as soon as possible. As for your DSL/Cable, it really doesn't matter if you're God, you're down for as long as they feel like ignoring your problem.
T-1s also do not require more "phone circuits" (whatever those are), rather simply a second pair. This does not affect the price, however, it does affect availability. Taxes and surcharges are not on a "per line" basis, but on a "per service" basis. If you're using your T-1 for digital phone, you do pay extra taxes and fees for each active channel. This doesn't really affect IP stuff, since all your channels are bonded in order to provide you your total bandwidth.
All in all, the difference really boils down to the fact that one is a "business class" service, and one is not, businesses can justify more expense for their IP service if it makes them money, and therefore, providers figure that they can make more money off it, so they charge more.
I think you would need to have some proof that someone other than yourself did the activity.
No, they have to prove it was you who did the activity, innocent until proven guilty, etc, beyond a shadow of a doubt still exists in civil cases. Even if running someone over fell under civil penalty, they would have to prove that you were the one behind the wheel. It can't be simply, "Oh, we think he/she did it." They've got to show that you actually did, no matter whether it's civil or criminal. The only difference between the two is what is admissible and what is not, the requirements of preponderance and validity of the evidence is exactly the same.
In an age of Wintel-virus created bot-farms, spoofs, and easily cracked WEP encrypted wireless home networks (among other easy hacks), the only tech-savvy response to such . .. an accusation . . . is, "You've got to be kidding."
'Nuff said. And thanks to Merl Ledford III. (Pardon my edit, by the way.)
I find it so hard to believe that these companies continue in the thought that they can make these cases work.
I've been at it for 11 years, and it's still not quite home!:-P
Ha! I kill me!
Actually, it takes a few days before I'm settled in, mostly just because I forget to keep copies of the packages I use most, and it seems to take forever any time I want to download them...
So, how does this help? Should Osama Bin Terrorist find out he can't crash the plan into something, then just decides to destroy the plane any way he can? I doubt they've set things up to lock the doors. And our explosive detection is still a joke.
"Since a digital device is clearly defined as an "unintentional radiator", wireless door openers are not considered Class B devices."
Again, you're missing the point. Simply because the device may be an intentional radiator, doesn't preclude it from falling under a Class B device. Class A devices are devices designed and built for commercial or industrial purposes, class B however is no different from class A, except that class B must be "damped wave" to avoid interference with your neighbor's TV. If you read the paperwork that comes with a wireless adapter, there is quite often a section that references section 15, subpart B.
That being said, I would assume that a wireless card in a laptop classifies as an intentional radiator. How is it that a wireless card, an intentional radiator by it's very nature, is classified by the FCC as a class B device, yet a similarly operating device is not?
I'd suggest you take a look at the back of your garage door remote, unless of course you've been living under a rock for a while. Mine says, plain as day, "FCC Section 15 Compliant, Class B" If that's not enough logic for you, I don't know what is.
Garage door openers are (primarily) residential devices. As well, it's not the "protection" that is the concern here. They are class B devices, and are therefore subject to interference from the primary licensed users of the frequencies they use.
That aside, a "wireless door opener" is designed for wireless transmission, yes. This does not however preclude it from classifying as a digital device. Computing devices and "unintentional radiators" are merely examples of some class B devices.
Just because a blender isn't built specifically to shred your hand, doesn't mean it can't.
Yeah, but the problem there is who wants to see some scrawny nerd guy or fat old bearded nerd guy in a g-string? None of us could make it as male porn star, no girl in her right mind would screw us, especially on tape, unless they're really sick...

I'm gonna spend 4 to 8 years on a software engineering degree, and when I'm almost 30, I can have the Best Job in America!!!!!
Waitaminute... I'm a CEO! I already have the Best Job in America! I get to sit on my lazy ass, screw my shareholders, play golf, and then get on national TV at a Supreme Court Hearing and claim I had nothing to do with it! Go me!
Depends on the machine... Some I do regular kernel updates, etc... They can get rebooted a couple times a month, others, which are on the back end of the network, do their job just fine, so they don't get touched...
I count zero admin tools... I think this article was mis-classified... Those are some nice desktop enhancements, but none really provide any extra use to a sysadmin...
As all the systems I admin never get above runlevel 3, I've got a laptop, and an old desktop, bot dual boot XP/Fedora, with a web browser, and an SSH client. I can do all my admin work with Webmin, nagios, and a terminal, why waste resources on my systems with X?
Not at all, I'm just saying that for a lot of people complaining that it's not going to get into the kernel, I don't see anyone here willing to carry the torch. If they don't think it should be in the kernel, then quit whining about it not being there.
Or do something about it...
If I wanted to see Suspend2 in the kernel, I'd get off my lazy rear and start pushing to get it there, even if it did mean a total rewrite of it.
Ok, looking around, I see lots of people complaining about how suspend2 is not going to get into the kernel now. Well, if you're so intent on getting it merged, why not pick up the sword and start trying to make it happen yourselves? Don't just sit back and complain, do something about it if it means that much to ya!

Except that this is not the Best. Economy. Ever.
Employment is still low, stock is still down, petroleum products are still horribly expensive.
Oh yeah, and we're still entrenched in a losing battle with terrorism.
What a great time to be alive and ignorant . . .
I'll give ya that one.
Sadly though, that's a simple lack of knowledge on the RIAA victim's part.

Well, as another article today points out, apparently, you can.
You're a real l33+ d00d, aren't ya? Must've passed the Web License with flying colors, right?

Just sayin'
My thoughts exactly. Why not just get a few cores, it's probably cheaper than all the liquid N2 they're gonna burn through.
