I never said Asterisk was for the home user. Two people have already corrected other people who repeated the same thing you said (further evidence you didn't read).
I suggest you re-read what I said. I even said one was for the back end and that FWD was for the end user.
Stick to open source telephony. Asterisk makes an excellent enterprise grade open-source PBX for the back end. For the end user, Free World Dialup offers a SIP compatible service with a free downloadable client that does not limit you like this.
Several problems with this policy making any supposed sense:
- Sattelite photos exist of pretty much every thing except the most sensitive of installations
- If I can see it, I can take a mental picture of it to draw later. I can take several trips back and forth to get better views of it to make a more complete drawing
- If it is so sensitive, why do you allow people near it in the first place (see above)?.
Of course it would be highly embarrassing to whoever filed it, and it would be a bad idea legally, but it'd be interesting to see how badly some people screwed up.
Why would it be a bad idea? You're just taking a document and pointing out what you believe is a fallacy.
Is it illegal for me to criticize laws Congress passes or things the President says?
The GNAA Security Center released working exploit code for the Xanga blogging service (which, I might add, predates MySpace by quite a long time, and maybe LJ too).
This exploit works because Xanga lets users insert Javascript codes into their websites. A malcious user just needs to add the code to their "Look and Feel" control panel and then the Javascript code will send the login cookies of anyone who visits their page to a remote server. Xanga has rudimentary JS filtering of "bad" functions but these filters can easily be bypassed by using the document.print method to write out the bad code across several calls (i.e. document.print("");). Xanga knows about the problem but will not fix it.
This code was used to breach security of several Xanga administrators for many months.
I'm not sure how much credibility can be lent to any kind of study on the software development process that does not include the open source (OSS) model. By its nature, having more eyes look over you work rather than depending on a fixed and closed system of code assurance finds and fixes bugs faster and implement new features. This is why Windows and UNIX are constantly playing catch up to the Linux platform. I remember reading a study on Google's weblog that essentialy endorsed this as a philosophical concept (that applies to much more than just code writing). I don't know who works for the NSA these days, but I would venture to say that the people who work are Google are probably collectively the brightest and wisest folks on the planet.
Linux, Firefox, and OpenOffice are some of the best software on the planet. I think is a good practical testament to the OSS philosophy.
This is the reason why I use Linux and demand that everything I purchase, consume, use, or buy uses or depends on a open source model.
Can we say inefficient and bloated government administration?
I always vote down school tax proposals becuase our local school system has yet to manage to improve the quality of education or teaching while managing to find all sorts of things to spend money on like new toys for the administration to play with, overpriced school complexes (65 million dollars for a school that reasonably holds 3000 at best?), marketing campaigns, etc.
DHS doesn't need more money. They need to be smart. Unfortunately, bureaucracies are just an extension of modern democracy and modern democracies are largely incapable of meaningful consensus or leadership.
I am not interested in any of the products being sold by an advertisement. This is no different than fast forwarding thru the commercial pause on my VHS tape recordings.
Windows XP x64 is a gigantic failure. Where are the masses of 64-bit apps? What about drivers? Sorry, they are pitiful and few.
As it stands, I can't even get 64-bit drivers for half of the devices on my Athlon64 notebook, despite it being sold to me as "64-bit ready" by HP. Hell, half of the drivers for 32-bit Windows haven't been updated for over 1.5 years (my mistake for buying HP, won't do it again!).
The average desktop user doesn't need 64-bits. Maybe when software becomes so bloated that the minimum reccomended RAM for a PC is 10GB it will catch on. Otherwise, it was premature. Hell, Intel still makes processors that are only 32-bit.

3. Walk into Harvard and try to have a reasonable discussion about biological racial differences.
Yes, we are now to the point where standing up for human rights makes you into one of those evil special interest groups with a political agenda.

This is the beauty of open source software. If you find a problem, you have the source avaliable to you to fix the problem!
Can you do this with a Nortel or Alcatel PBX? Nope, didn't think so.

You're on Slashdot and you accuse me of not being intelligent?
Boy, you're really full of it.
Nigger.
Fucking nigger

Correction: Windows NT4 and Windows 2000 (during beta before MS axed Alpha support) both ran on Alpha.
I would know as I have run these myself.
