If you ask me, and my pretty pretty hat, "Enhanced Services" was a way for politicians to separate themselves from porn content providers and still back the bills that gave away spectrum to the telco's. I find it hard to believe that the timing is just coincedence.
Don't you mean, "Sun WAS planning to open source the rest". I can't help but have a wait and see view point on what Oracle will do with assets they just purchased as far as open sourcing goes. I hope they do but won't hold my breath.
That is where my thinking was going. Though it sounds like a cool device, torrent software belongs on something with a lot of storage an never gets shut off. I just bring up a torrent client on my NAS when I want to add something to the Q. X is a beautiful thing. Besides, if I shut off the NAS how would music play until I fall to sleep?
First they are connecting telescopes with fiber, now they are about to give away broadband!?! See, this tiny little island can do all that while rich companies can't get cable to my neighborhood. Next thing you know that island country will be all "we are an empire" and stuff, while us US folk slip into 3rd world status.
So what is REALLY needed is a way to connect lots of boxes together or consolidate all of the boxes so you only need to connect one. Perhaps an audio/video switch of some sort will do.
It isn't just cheaper because of fossil fuels. Bigger always meant better in the shipping industry. The average lifetime of a cargo ship is 30 years. Small boats last, on average, half that. Large cargo ships are easily recycled. They are 80% steel. Small cargo ships are fiberglass or wood. Cargo ships very rarely sink. If they do, they make excellent reefs. It takes very little hull damage, and smaller storms, to sink small boats. Fiberglass sucks for reefs and wood decays to quickly.
The US government takes fingerprints, footprints, blood type, and DNA information from people when they are born. Later they take dental prints. Until a few years ago they enforced traceable information to be placed on products that can be used destructively. Now everything has RFID tags. Communicating by phone or mail can easily be monitored, and arguably is. No thing and no body is anonymous in the physical world. Now something existing that tears down that wall, anonymous communication. Ironically, it originated by the US government so they (the government) could be free in case of a power switch. I guess there is nothing more frightening to power than freedom you must share.
Someone on/. claiming to have had sex with a female without providing meat? Sounds like there are some serious philosophical questions to be avoided in this thread.
In the beginning wires were connected to assign the functionality of an application that was so basic it could be considered the operating system and the application.
Then applications running on a computer that was running an operating system was born. With it was born "the punch cards".
Then there was the CLI, command line user interface.
Then a GUI, graphical user interface, was born. This allowed the people that can not type the ability to assign functionality to an application.
Then the desktop environment brought together all of the GUI applications. An evil one even tried to rule them all.
Then the browser replaced the desktop environment.
Then the CLI for the browser was born. And life was again good.
IMHO cloud computing is impossible to secure. At best it is ALMOST safe. If you own the cloud, and the cloud is in a jar, and the jar is in a safe, and the safe is in a concrete room, and the room is in a lead building, and the lead building has a mote... If they are smart, Google will leave "beta" in its description forever.
So you don't give out your email address unless it is to sign up for stuff? I would say you are a good reason why google's spam filter is so well tuned:-p
Most of us "assholes" use metrics to make those kinds of decisions. From there it is easy to show the dumber ups how much spam is originating from specific sources and get them to agree on the +2 to spam score. Road Runner comes to mind (99.3% Jan08-Mar09). So does fdcservers (100% Jan08-Dec08). If you find anything other than open relays, proxy sites, or malware on fdcservers your doing good.
I think multiple MX domains on a single relay is the issue. If your site is hosted, run (unix/linux) host -t MX yourdomain.com. This will show you what your mail servers are. Now do that for someone else using the same hosting site. Every hosted site using that company will, typically, have the same response. Some ISPs create an alias so the MX request returns your domain but not many. Even the ones that do cheap out and use one ip address.

There is a lot of that going around.
From a white powder economy to a um white pow...
Nevermind.
You actually got more than 5M of bandwidth out of Time Warner? There must have been an alternative carrier in your area.
So my "brunet to go" joke finally has meaning?
Sun is planning to open source the rest.

People in the US probably just have less bandwidth.

I guess farts are funny anymore.
The UK can link telescopes together with fiber but my ISP, billion dollar company, cant get me fios 5 miles south of downtown Dallas. Sigh.

Considering the pay grade in Dallas for those skills, typist might still be a stretch.
Do it the way the pros do. Wait until the government promises you a tax write off then just don't do it. It worked for the telco's.

Cool. My blog listing all my complaints about work will be publishable now.
