Look into Hurricane Electric. We buy bandwidth from them in the GBps range, they don't push data to pick-your-acronym-gov.-agency, and the bandwidth is priced right (plus, latency is rockstar).

Should Open Source be hidden behind licensing fees? I think that's a poor question. A better questions should be "How do people plan on paying open source developers?". The food they eat, the electricty they need, you can't exactly rpm -Uvh that from somewhere. In the end, someone has to write a check somewhere.
Chris,
I started to compare Infoblox and BlueCat's appliance offerings today, because our company is in the market for a managed DNS solution. After reading your Slashdot post, I actually looked more into the BlueCat appliances. Then I googled for your name and BlueCat.
Here's the link to your blog Google gave me:

Next time you shill for your company/employer, you might want to at least put forward some disclaimer that you work for the company.
If it comes to the point where the country made the decision to default on all of it's foreign-owned debt, where we are going to purchase oil from would be the least of our concerns.
You're assuming that the US can't just walk away from it's debt at any time (which it owes to other countries). For example, all of the US debt that China buys. While it may cause gigantic economic problems if done, if the US wanted to turn around and say "Fuck off" to anyone it owed money to, it can.
Have you compared the size of the US to the size of Korea, Japan, or Europe? Perhaps because there's so much damn sprawl. It's not as easy/cheap/efficient to network a 1,000 home subdivsion versus a 100 story high-rise apartment complex.
Not really. A rotary engine isolates the combustion process better then a standard ICE, which enables it to be Gas/Hydrogen FlexFuel stock. A standard ICE can't do this (currently).
With Google, I doubt my assumption is that far from the truth. They consume information, never deleting it, and I would argue can organize/search it better/faster then most three letter government agencies. They'd find who did it.
The question is, would you want a company the size of Google, with the power, money, and talent at their fingertips to want to bring the hurt on you for doing something like that?
They don't have to do anything illegal to make your life hell. Just redirecting search requests for your name could be damaging. And I'm sure they could come up with something far worse then that.
The 2004 Prius uses an electric compressor, so the engine can be shut off while still cooling the car off.

"In contrast, the 2004 model introduced an all-electric compressor for cooling. This allowed more extensive use of the "stealth mode" (operation on electric motor only)."
You're wasting your time. Anytime you try to make an argument like this, people whine, "I paid my $40/month. I want my 30Mbit sustained!". No one gets that providers have to pay $30-$80 Mbit to get their pipe (depending on provider and volume discounts). That doesn't even include the routers, switch fabric, firewalls, and man power needed to run a decent-sized network.
You must be new here =) On Slashdot, most believe everything should be given away for free. No one ever comes up with the solution on how people should get paid though.
And that's not even taking into account the fact that if it doesn't work out as a Spaceport for tourism, he could lease it to a launch firm to take satellites into space. I doubt he'll be losing any money on this deal.
So, by targeted advertising, we're really just waiting for Google TV? We'll be able to watch anything store in the Googleplex, with unobtrusive ads served with it, targeted from information gathered from our searches [Google.com], our email [Gmail], our conversations [Google Talk], and our purchases [Froogle.com].
Hate to break it to ya chief, but the box I described is actually in production and works like a champ. Using the Intel Express Pro gigabit cards means even at 80-85% capacity, the box only has a load of.5.
Oh god no. The two are mutually exclusive. Yes, we run over 7Gbps, but we're an all Juniper/Cisco/Foundry shop. I was merely pointing out that if you're running a commodity hardware firewall, you might as well spring for the PCI gigabit NICs that do processing on-board.
As a side note, most of our services (DNS, Mail, etc.) are run on commodity hardware, but it's all redundant. Don't knock commodity hardware. Run properly, you take the risk out of it. Kind of like how Google does it.
We're actually using 10Gbps interface cards. We have three peering partners, and our aggregate bandwidth usage is upwards of 7Gbps (each of our providers gives us a 10Gbps handoff, but we don't use the entire 10Gbps from each one).
If you use a 500-600mhz PC with 2 Intel Gigabit NICs (important to use the Intel NICs, as they offload a lot of processing from the CPU to their own board), you can even have your firewall handle gigabit traffic (something a lot of devices are unable to do).
Slashdot Mirror
1) Research how much fuel the external fuel tank holds
2) How fast liquiud hydrogen/oxygen can be pumped into the external tank
You'll then see why they can't wait until they know for sure. It takes hours to fill those tanks, and weather can change much faster then that.

Electric motors rock (vs. internal combustion engines) because they have no torque curve. They have instant-on full-blown torque.

Hats off to you sir, and I hope your eventual RFID roll-out occurs. I would be more then happy to purchase a book from your store =)
Yo chief, it was Johnny 5, not Number 5. http://www.johnny-five.com/

It'll be here sooner then you think.
For those asshats over at The Register, it's always hard to figure things out, even those which are spelled out for them.
