Comment present-requirements coal plants are no baseline (Score 1) 315

namely, nobody is building any because the cost to mitigate the source pollution is so damn high, and going higher. so this generally-clocked-out concept fusion reactor, not-to-scale, would be tied with the second-highest cost of MWH production possible.

great news, I'm ordering 15 of these, bill to my account at the East Bank of the Mississippi. let's get those in production by December 1st, this year, also.

Comment is this both remote and local config? (Score 1) 52

because they are way different.

remote config, you just need secure telnet and good management pipes, on top of the normal basic gizmo office (overpowered PCs, hopefully dual screens, redundant power, etc.)

local config, you will also need an open half-rack on casters at each workstation area, good AC and "battery" power, I like the idea of a cube terminal server 8 or more ports for you to get into the craft ports and push scripts, then localize afterwards. or a localization generator which saves all the configs on a common ultra-backed-up server, and you just tftp them into the remote equipment.

there is almost always a TL1 interface and port number on telco equipment, so you could automate all the localization generator stuff into TL1 as well. since you're telco, also get the AC1 MIB documents for your stuff so you can catch and decode the SNMP traps and autogenerate repair tickets.

none of this is high-buck stuff. it's the coding in the end that determines how much of the scutwork is manual and time-waste, and how much nonsense actually is handled when the outage clock starts ticking and your techs get after the repair.

Comment how do you prove service? (Score 2) 185

Suppose you go into court and there is no representative of the other party. if you can prove the notice was served, you can ask for declaratory judgement. Get FacedBook does not have return receipt functionality, unlike almost all email clients. barring a reply such as "you suck skunks," you can't prove service. this is no better than tying the subpoena to a flaming arrow and shooting it into a tree.

Comment the CRTC maximizes Canadian culture (Score 1) 324

so it's time for Canadian Corner (aka The Great White North) 24x7x365 now, eh. ya hosers.

I guess by now they could run Mike Holmes and Love It or List It on the second channel, too.

if they want educational TV, put a camera outside Churchill, and the kids can guess which tourists will get eaten by polar bears. math, least-path theory, lots of fine educational opportunities.

Comment medium tech and low tech solutions (Score 1) 334

medium tech: an Etch-A-Sketch.

low tech: a legal pad.

if they're clicking everything that crawls over the door or chews through the wall, they should not have a computer at all. before long, they won't have a space left under the nearby bridge either, weasels will take that also.

Comment Bastard ATT. let's make this real simple for them (Score 1) 243

so they can understand. MONEY CANNOT AFFECT THE PRIORITY BIT. you can sell Netflix all the 10-gigabit ports you want. but the priority bit stays at 1 or 2, just like all the other basic internet traffic on your network. just like the packets you send to the home customers.

understand it now?
