Duh, encrypted traffic will be disallowed unless you have a license and provide your keys to the government so they can inspect your traffic.
Gee I don't mind every thought that I ever communicate will get monitored as long as I can get free music. You are worried about the wrong things young man.
No. You want them where the traffic transits to a peer. Aggregating them is exactly what you want. Tha's why they are so damn beefy.
Use your imagination. Why wouldn't you just place 10 or so on the backbones so that you get 98% coverage of all US traffic? Then the NSA, Comcast, FBI, DHS, ATT, Blockbuster, and anyone else with a need for this technology can pool resources to implement wide scale.
Remember the boxes talk to each other. So if you put, I don't know maybe 100 of them in the right locations around the world, I bet you would have ALL INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS nailed down pretty good.
You just use VLAN, QOS technology to route traffic you don't want inspected around the boxes. You obviously don't need to inspect a lot of the corporate and government traffic, especially if they belong to the consortium that will operate these.
What has Comcast got to do eith this anyway? I don't see their name mentioned in the article.
You guys crack me up. You are about to be permantaly enslaved by your governments and you are worried about how technology is going to prevent you from stealing software and music.
WHy do you have to stop using a good product becuase it isn't open source? Sounds more like making decisions based on emotion rather than on objective data.
Bricked means unrecoverable by the end user. Being bricked means going back to the manufacturer for repair.
A system that can have the OS recovered or at least reinstalled by using a Linux live CD or a Windows CD is not bricked by any stretch of the imagination.
What's good for Microsoft, and Wal-Mart (actually business in general) is good for America. If it was cost effective to use local talent they would. Either take a pay cut, or move on to something else that can't be outsourced yet. It really is quite simple.
It scares me more to think about flying aboard an aircraft designed by a loosly affiliated group of hobbyists, and where the vast majority of support was to be obtained by posting an reading a blog.
Wait a minute. Actually, it scares me to think about using anything made via that method.
You actually believe Outlook and Exchange are crap? Trillions of dollars have been made using that combo. Contrast that with how much business is done on the other readily available corporate email systems. Oh, wait a minute there are no other viable client-server, collaborative systems. Unless you count Lotus Notes, which really is crap.
And if you ran your VMs on a Windows server product you could back up the VM while it was still running by using the built-in Windows VSS (Volume Shadow Service) and a free tool like Hobocopy.
You mean "support" more like Linux. Let's talk about third party support. I have seen a bunch of free software that rarely offers the level of polish or functionality of the Windows software that can be purchased. I have also been a big fan of shareware. None of that for Linux, they'd be drummed right out of the corps.
What about software provided by the OS vendor. Linux has none of course. If you use IIS, Exchange, Sharepoint, ASP,.NET, SQL, you definitely cann get support. If you need support for similar components on Linux, you generally have to post messages to a bulletin board where a group of mostly hobbyists looks down their nose at you since you are dumb and they ar smart.
Hey, the concept is great, but the implementaion is poor (Linux.) And, until smart people can feed their family doing it, it will never be professionally (by definition if I may add) supported.
You say "they notoriously suck at support." And this is based on what? Is this the same "Microsoft is bad because they charge for software" argument rehashed and expanded to cover their support.
Please name anyone that supports their products better than Microsoft (on the same scale.) Oh that's right they sell the post product so no one can compete in that reagrds.
Here's the deal. When I call Microsft for support on let's say Server 2003 I know one thing that they will fix it or I won't have to pay. Also, if it is an obvious Winodws bug, guess what, you don't pay then either. If my problem is so serious that I don't have time to figure it out myself, I am HAPPY to pay them.
I don't see Linux based server paid support being any cheaper. Actually it looks like it's more expensive in general.
"Oh, you won't need it as much because Linux is so stable." I haven't seen that either.

"This is one of those situations where it actually makes sense to root for free-market capitalism."
WTF? It always has made sense. It even makes sense in Communist Red China and Communist North Korea, they just won't admit it.

I agree, there is nothing funny about the Communist Red Chinese.
Put you somewhere where there are no computers?
No the real question is does it run:
Office 2007
Money 2008
Quickbooks
Turbo Tax
Rome Total War
Call of Duty 4
Picasa2
Music IP Mixer
Cyberlink Power DVD
As soon as it does, I will be all set to switch to Linux.
I still prefer the tried and true loc/sec (libraries of congress per second.)
Does the Vista friendly RAM make birdlike sounds as it is being accessed?
Based on what, beleiving it is so just 'cause "it should be?" How much stock do you own? Since RHT is so great I assume that you are heavily invested.

I wonder if IBM, GE, or Microsoft pay close to 10% of their gross to the top 7 execs? Hint: NO
Just more dot com BS that is leaching off the investors and their seed money.
Citation please. Or in lieu please post some links to your work.
Do some background work before you spew forth.

What a coincidence. I'm looking at a Testarossa as a daily driver.

Yes. Lying is always an option when you are caught stealing.

If I'm bigger than you, then you deserve to give me your money.

Uh, I guess that's one way (if you like the retro approach.) Another way is with a USB hard drive, USB pen drive, CD Rom, DVD, etc.
Please elaborate. What prompts you to say "actually MSFT has a horrible track record when it comes to actually using purchases?"
