  1. Re:What bugs me about this... on Embedded OpenBSD Running the Stallion ePipe · · Score: 1

    I'm one of the coders on the ePipe project. On the contrary, ePipe exists to save money in a *timed call* environment. A VPN or bonded 'net access link can be dialled-on-demand, and add or subtract extra lines based on bandwidth usage. The outgoing lines don't even have to go to the same ISP, so you can use two different ISPs and the VPN stays up even if one ISP goes off the air. You can use it with modems, ISDN, cable modems, or whatever you like.

    Upgrading the OS is as simple as downloading a new
    OS image and rebooting. Last time I checked
    you need to reboot a PC to upgrade the BSD kernel
    too. :-)

  3. Industry sucks up to conservative govt... on Lotus Says: The Industry Supports Censorship · · Score: 1

    The "industry" will say what whatever the govt.
    want them to, in hope that their recently
    abolished tax-credit for r+d will be restored,
    and because this government has a habit of
    vilifying those who oppose its policies.

    Government will do whatever idiocy it needs to
    in order to pass its main policies through a
    hostile senate.

    Recent example of Government doublespeak:

    Govt: "We're going to asset-strip the country by
    selling off the government-owned businesses, but
    we will put half a percent of the profit into an
    'Environment Fund'"

    Public: "You can't do that!"

    Govt: "Oh, so you're a slash-and-burn eco-rapist
    are you?"
