With all the video, source code, and multiple partitions I have, I’m sure to have one soon.

I’m ready to lose everything in one, dramatic hard drive crash.

There really isn’t any reason why the government is listening to you, honestly. But you slip up, then you’re sent out to Egypt to they can torture you.

It could all have been avoided with:

Ok, ok, I’m kidding. You are probably not going to be tortured, but phone records will be looked at deeper.

This phone has source that you can browse, performs deep encryption of said voice calls.

I do have some hesitation about this, seeing as I help run a small town wisp. However, they would be in another spectrum, and possibly even help lower costs more.

There is always a problem with free service, and it’s something I see when you have said free service.

Consumers have a funny mindset when it comes to something that’s free, and isn’t even supported with ads. They think free means full support, and you’ll take care of any problem they have, at your cost for free service.

Case in point, we had a client who piggybacked off my 900mhz gear that was repeated using 2.4ghz equipment. Things were mostly fine, signal quality was in 70% and very little drops, but the 2.4 ghz was slightly blocked by some trees.

Being a 2 mile link back to them, it would sometimes have a dropout or two, possibly slow down.

It’s important to mention that the client had service with the same wisp that I did business with, 4-6 months earlier. A local computer store, like ours decided to lie, cheat, and take a tower the wisp we had and turn it into his own.

None of us would go to that company for internet, they had done something really, really dirty. They also expected to use their own gear, so it’s another $250 investment. These guys claimed the gear was different, but it was the -same- wireless card inside the CPE.

So we shot a 900mhz signal through the top of a big, big hill and 1 mile of foliage to get it to this remote location from our computer store.

We hooked up the other clients too at a cost of almost a grand in antenna, tripod, access point and labor to do so.

They never paid one dime, nothing. So after 4 months of free internet, my boss cut them off. I told them they needed to come down and pay, but they never did. We also, to be fair didn’t send them a bill, they were told to just come down and pay a measly $20 a month.

You should have heard the phone conversation, it was nasty, she/he was -pissed-, pissed that it was cut off. They didn’t even have a clue that if they would have not given attitude about it being cut off, they could have just paid at that point.

Nope, in the end they paid $250 to hookup to the other wisp, who by the way… is inches from bankruptcy.

But, with 2.4ghz some links are just not possible. Even when they are, you have to take into account how the rest of your network is gonna react to all that retransmission of a dirty link.

I can’t imagine that these guys are gonna cover 95% of the US, with 2.1ghz. It’s gonna be 30 radios per square mile in almost everywhere they are, if it’s a big city. Rural areas are screwed, unless you use 30 radios. Then the biggest problems are getting tower space to get it to those places.

Billions, if not hundreds of billions. It’ll never hit here in WV, ever. Not gonna happen, but it may lower the cost of existing 2.4ghz equipment depending on whom they use.

I doubt they’ll do that though, it’d create more competition.

How many times before has someone caused 700,000 dollars in damages just by typing in an IP address, then hitting enter?

I shudder everytime NMAP is ran by me, and I miss type one number, and it has happened before. Whoops, I just scanned 254 ip addresses… where? .. a quick whois lets me know, and it’s been some bad ones.

Is it illegal for me to scan my own machines from an outside network to make sure I’m closed up? Not that I know of. Is it illegal for me to mistype an IP address and scan military computers? Yup.

Can I type an IP address to Remote Desktop, or into VNC without breaking the law? I sure can, it’s a great thing, remoting into a machine.

What happens when I fudge the A class, and just by chances, hit an open military computer? 5 years and 250K fine.

I’m proud to announce that FreeBSD on the T1 is now stable enough that
it can “make buildworld” natively.

The source is currently available in perforce under the view
//depot/projects/kmacy_sun4v/… I probably won’t roll it back into
CVS until the logical domaining support is done. I’m looking forward
to receiving input from individuals who plan to deploy it to find out
what workloads to target in performance tuning.

All views in this blog are just my opinion.

In reality and then sticking with the assumption that no two people share the same reality:

This is just thoughts, typed by fingers. There is freedom of speech, however there seems to be a distinction between the two major parts of your body that are responsible for said free speech.

This is my attempt called: freedom of thought. It sounds more hip, probably is a rarer saying, and you could get offended.

You may even think: why the hell did he just say that?

I’m wondering the same thing, so glad to see you are aboard.

I personally think python could be clumped together in this sort of a mess at some point. Perl of course is used in all sorts of “POC”’s that would allow an attack. (Proof Of Concept).

I can’t count the number of servers I’ve personally scanned just to see how bad a problem is. It does make you feel slightly better to scan a few hundred servers, see that there is many more targets than just you.

That of course doesn’t cut it anymore, since bot-nets want hundreds, (of thousands) of innocent machines to do their dirty work.

I think RadioActive is better called Blog Casting, or a blogcast for many reasons. However, without doing great speech recognition, and the already announced social thumbs up, it’s probably going to die out to be replaced by a better implementation.

But what can you say when someone has registered:

And doesn’t appear to be using it in the theme of something new, just the same old tired thing, with no innovation at all.
