A national broadband network is one thing, but Australian consumers will continue to lament the high price of traffic compared to, basically, the rest of the developed world. To this day we pay many many times the price per GB of the US and Europe - and fibre to the node won't help that one iota.
As far as I can tell, this predicament is almost entirely a function of geography. The sheer cost of laying cable across large hemisphere-spanning oceans somewhat affects the delivery cost. And who is willing to invest? Not that someone didn't try. The mixed success of the Southern Cross venture (successful in the sense of increase substantially increasing aggregrate bandwidth into Oz, failed in the sense of not being profitable for it's shareholders) pretty much deters any ideas along these lines in the current climate.
That is of course unless the government steps in...anyone for an INTERnational Broadband Network?
A national pr0n filter would probably accomplish the same thing..
You are obviously far too committed to breaking the stereotype of the nerd as the ideal physical specimen.
You contrarians will cut off your nose to spite your face - or, in this case, dilate your capillaries into a stroke to spite society.
i.e. me
I have THREE applications on my iphone that can control XMBC. But using either of them is rubbish compared to my universal remote - a logitech harmony one.
And why the heck would I want to have to get up and find my phone every time I need to flip channels?
Try as you might you will never convince me that one device that does everything is going to be better than a minimal number of specialised devices. That's why I still have a laptop, a desktop, a smartphone...and a universal remote.
You'll be prying me harmony one from my cold dead fingers...
Had a very similar problem recently. Initially looked like a broadcast storm, but 6500 router cpu's were at 100%, and they wouldn't normally be bothered, and switches were fine. Turned out to be Appletalk traffic, multicast at layer 2. Never found the source, but took a couple of hours to narrow it down.
The idea that 'someone' 'owning' 'security' would somehow provide us with more online protection I find unbelievably stupid and ignorant. If you open your eyes you'll realise we wouldn't even have the internet if it weren't for essentially random collections of like-minded people each contributing a piece of the puzzle - it's called evolutionary process, and nothing any businessman or politician has ever invented has come close to it's effectiveness.
I do this sort of thing a lot in preference of using a spreadsheet:
grep C4K_EBM-4-HOSTFLAPPING doihuxcr01.log-20081005 | grep "Oct 4" | cut -d' ' -f11- | sort | uniq -c
..I know someone who kickstarted a fantastic career managing IT security for large organisations from criminal beginnings. Admittedly that was ten or so years ago and these crimes are viewed more seriously now..
Microwave backhaul can be very cost effective and very scalable in terms of the bandwidth you need, even when you must pay installation costs. In some cases these can be shared or avoided if a MW provider believes they can attract other customers onto the same infrastructure.
Of course you don't mention if the remote locations are 'fixed' or 'roaming'.. to some degree portable MW tx/rx can solve roaming problems as well.
True they are used for audio production, but I use them for audio RE-production, i.e. listening.
This is BECAUSE of the fact consumer cards offer such rubbish quality.
I don't go anywhere near that far - mid-range card and speakers is it.
Everyone I have A/B'd a good card with a Creative can hear the difference, even those that can't tell MP3 from CD quality.
Does anyone find hearing their hard drive spin via their headphones acceptable???
Wow! Quality in a consumer sound card?!
This is a dead issue.
The problem has been solved for years by brands building semi-pro and pro cards such as RME.
Anyone with half-decent speakers who expects to enjoy music from a PC will not even begin to entertain the thought of using a Creative or an Asus card. Great AD/DA converters do not come for anywhere near $90.
No, don't check out Cisco, they are not leaders in this area and you will be disappointed. However F5 DO have a very impressive product range that can solve all of your problems (I have no affiliation).

Use them to save Planet Earth by never turning them on. You will also save $$$ on your power bill!
So what, intelligence communities have been using this technique for years.
I am sure the 'chief network engineer' is aware of briding loops..

or even better:
for log in `ls *log` ; do grep C4K_EBM-4-HOSTFLAPPING $log | grep "Oct 4" | cut -d' ' -f11- | sort | uniq -c

I don't know what you are talking about - Daylight Savings is for one thing and one thing only - so I can go to the beach after work.
