That might be the case but the data doesn't need to be kept for very long. If the computer scanner ID's a car that shouldn't be on the road save just that section of video everything else doesn't need to be stored for very long.

UBM just gave back the 45.0.0.0/8 block . It's not a small block and it's available, only 256 of these blocks exists and once you pull out the 0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.0/8, 255.255.255.255 and multi-cast blocks this return counts. What other blocks have been returned and aren't counted as free?

Carriers only work 5 days a week but the route is currently covered 6 days a week. Drop a day a week and that would be quick way to save some $$'s.

My crackberry is on the AT&T network and only supports up to EDGE. I have issues with tower to tower hand off in a number of places. I know where the tower I should be switching to as I drive toward it and my calls regularly drop in this area as soon as the call drops I go back to full bars and I can redial and restart my conversion.

Pick a project like bacula (best backup software made to date). Use it adopt it spread the word.
After that you can support the project, they have a bunch of items on the to do list ( http://www.bacula.org/misc/Vote-2009.html ). If one of the items would help your work, sponsoring project would be a way to help open source software.

Submission + - Electric MINI Cooper has rough start (bloomberg.com) 2
TopSpin writes: BMW's limited roll out of the electric version of its MINI has met with complaints from early adopters including less than advertised range, cold weather charging problems, bulky batteries and connection issues. Richard Steinburg, BMW's manager of electric vehicle operations, assures everyone that the manufacturer is "learning quite a bit as we go." Drivers are paying $850/month for the privilege of helping BMW learn how to build EVs, while also helping BMW meet alternative fuel mandates so that other models can continue to be sold in select markets.
Submission + - FCC Preparing Transition to VoIP Telephone Network (fcc.gov)
mantis2009 writes: The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published a request for public comment on an upcoming transition from the decades-old circuit-based Public Switched Telephone Network to a new system run entirely with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. This is perhaps the most serious indication to date that the legacy telephone system will, in the near future, reach the end of its life. This public commenting phase represents a very early stage in what will undoubtedly be a very complex transition that makes this year's bumpy switch from analog to digital television look relatively easy.
