TFA talks about favorable deals for telcos. Telcos have received one-time incentives to do things that they may or may not have done, depending on who you read. The recurring incentive is usually to keep phone service working in rural areas

Libel for? Cases like this where they are making Apple look bad? I think that would be a stretch. Typically ISP terms of use say they can do pretty much whatever they want (see the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act/The Whole Aaron Swartz Thing).

Most ISPs in the US don't operate under common carrier regulations. Even the ILECs (essentially the only common carrier data networks) sell their internet services via subsidiaries to avoid it.

I was thinking specifically of waiving permit fees, outsourced inspections, and colocated staff with authority to make decisions on the spot. If at least the first two aren't requirements I'd be surprised. Permit pile-on has killed quite a

DNS is one of those things that is easy to do yet hard to do right. On the low end someone could run nsd/bind/powerdns on a vm from linode and one from prgmr and be 80% of the way there. That extra 20% involves getting your own IP space for

I'd start with the slides from a powerpoint by ras on traceroute: http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog47/presentations/Sunday/R... He really gets into how, with traceroute, you can get a glimpse of how everything fits together, beyond just

I'd say it depends on the problem. For myself, bug fixing, sorting out a bad performance problem, those are issues of conquest. Developing a new product, adding a feature, that's like tending a garden. In one project I can be proud of sla

Does Riak CS support static web site hosting ala S3? I checked the docs and didn't see anything specifically about that so I'm guessing no.

Since this is all for a anycast system it might be better to have more POPs at more locations instead of trying to make a single POP bulletproof by doubling up on what could be the single largest capital expense in building a POP.

Through my work at a ISP that serves a lot of farmers I'd have to disagree depending on what you mean by "internet tech savvy". I haven't run across any that sling code in their spare time but other than that, watch out! I know of multiple

You can only take the height thing so far. From the OK Cupid data you link to it appears that there is a sharp falloff for men right after 6'6". I suspect that's the point where "wow! you're tall" kicks in and attractiveness turns to curios

IIRC it is against merchant agreements (or maybe that was paypal). Just like asking to see a ID if the back of the card is signed. A lot of places do both because a) they don't actually read the contracts they sign and b) they don't care: t

I think the detection and logging aspect has a lot of promise as a cheap and widely deployed system. I'd worry about the liability from false positives with a active response system. Even something as limited as locking the doors to a room

That's politically and historically a non-starter. Guns are protected in the same category as free speech. Driving, drinking, etc are not.

I've had a similar experience with their support. They asked me why I wasn't using the account and I mentioned no ATMs near me and no Android app and they directed me to the web site and didn't address the ATM issue. IMO their online bankin

Yeah. Cisco 3750s are notorious for having small buffers. They are more appropriately used for connecting desktops in a office. Cisco 4948s are better positioned for top of rack and are more comparable to the Juniper EX4200s that were shown

Second place in the world is a bit presumptuous. Besides that, Google in in Kansas City wasn't the first provider with 1G FTTH project by a long shot.

There's a significant difference between being able to run software "in the cloud" like how Ubiquiti instructs end-users to install Linux and then UniFi on EC2 and having the entire platform "in the cloud" and ready to use by the end-users
