I think the bigger question your asking is not the logistics of getting the network into place (which there are many different technologies that will work for you....fiber probably being the best since it has the longest run distance and the greatest upgrade potential).
It's more your question of how to portion up the network so that one person/connection doesn't eat up the entire bandwidth of the community. I think the answer to your question is OpenBSD 3.3 and PF + ALTQ. You can establish queues for each house that allow a person to only use a set fraction or set Kbps of the connection. You can even set it up to limit only certain services (like Kazaa or FTP) so that they don't eat up needed bandwidth for E-mail and IM programs. As long as noone on your network needs a lot of bandwidth or low latency connection you might be able to get away with sharing a single Sattelite connection. (ALA Pegasus (DirecTV) or StarBand (DishNetwork)) If they will need a lower latency connection or higher bandwidth you will have the eat the $$$ on getting a T1 or DS3 installed (You will want to get in writing/contract the costs of the install charges since 99% of the telco's will charge you time and materials for burying line from the hub to your location.....and if they have to dig more than 100yards then it's going to cost big bucks.)
Just a "hardware" version of the registry hack?

I am betting allthis does is do the same as the AP's registry hack to make the signal up to 100mW.
What I am wondering is how hard would it be to take one of these....swap out some components to get it up above 1W and then attach it to a directional antenna (Ala Pringles can or even an unused Dish (replacing the LNB's)) to prevent it from feed over into the local spectrum.
Wonder what distance you could get. Woner what sort of onmi-directional antenna it would take to be a good uplink point. New Home-built ISP?
Actually if you read the "Appendix's" in the 3rd book you find out that the whole "love story" is very much true and that Arwen had a much larger role than in the first book. I mean today's audiences don't want a submissive, hide-in-the-coattails of her father woman.
Even though is was legolas that was supposed to find them in the mountains before Rivendale. They couldn't have her only have a spot that was 5 second or minutes long like it would have been if they stayed true to the books.
It's kind of like them cutting out the Tom Bombadil section. They did hire the actor and shot his parts, but it never made it to the final cut. I expect we'll see it on the DVD when it's released. (Eagerly awaiting the 4 hour DVD)
All in all the kept the movie true to the whole "purpose and feel" of the 1st book IMHO.
Tribes 2 for PS2 and Unreal Tournament for PS2 can and will take advantage of the BBA and HD for the PS2. I just wish they had written support for firewire harddrives and USB network adapters. (take up a memory card space for driver storage like the upgraded firmware that comes with Sony's DVD remote).
The hard drive is a Seagate 5400 rpm ATA100 drive. The black rubber shock harness give it away.
Seagates can take quite a beating and still keep ticking. We accidentaly had a computer dropped about a story, most everything else was fubar but the hard drive was still working. (coworkers accidentally pushed it over and out a window while rearranging his desk).
I live on the outskirts of town and even though Verizon has fiber buried to the new phone distribution box in our neighborhood we cannot have DSL due to two reasons 1) our Copper "legacy" circuits to our neighborhood have Loda coils on them and Verizon is unwilling to remove them. 2) Verizon won't upgrade & expand the DSLAMs to provide DSL over Fiber capability (which would expand the range of DSL much farther (the limit is now 2 miles from where the DSL leaves the fiber and goes to copper).
Verizon is a nihilistic & monopolistic phone company that should have never been allowed to merge with GTE.
It seems to me that they are trying to implement something similar to ECC for a processor so that an operation will not crash the system. they add a second processor to take over if needed. The way a current dual processor system work the jobs are doled out by insturction not by process...that way if one process hangs it can take over both processors andhang both....with the new method being described it won't freeze both processors if a proces hangs.

Heheheh SafeDisc Protection.....You can get around it in about 5 minutes if your really want to. It's really not safe anyways.
Besdies it has been licensed so they can support running of safedisc encrypted games.
