He has the typical east coast bravado and dismissive atitude. I don't mean to stereotype EVERYONE from Boston/New York area, but that whole area is infused with people who are just mean. The only way they are equipped to work with other people is through a method of communication that involves a complete lack of tact and understanding.

Ok that is not entirely fair, but it is fair to say that the east coast is where I usually find people like this. Pushy, dismissive, self centered etc.

This would not have been feasible, which is why it didn't work. the idea of a carrier pushing through a wifi network with enough coverage space is laughable. The 3g/4g wireless spectrum operates entirely different than wifi because wifi is limited in many ways..

The point is, we can all sit around and throw ideas and himhaw back and forth, but if things don't pass engineering/financial spec the don't get done. Applauding Jobs as a visionary for an idea that failed on technical and financial merit is kinda stupid.

Many email servers do not have rDNS, therefore it is not advisable to filter based on a lack of rDNS alone.

It can be argued that it should have an rDNS, but if they don't, you have no control over that since it's their system. Then you'll be spending way too much of your time tweaking spam filters and creating white lists, contacting the sending company's administrators...

It's just a bad idea, don't do it.

That said, I prefer SaaS email spam filtering like Symantec's Messagelabs. (Disclosure, I am an ML partner)). I like this service because I don't have to worry about managing it. It saves me a lot of time.

Not only that, but yet another tax to collect for the feds, thus creating an operational barrier to entry for new enterprise.

From the italian press release: "Alla costruzione del tunnel tra il Cern ed i laboratori del Gran Sasso"

It seems the word "tunnel" is shared between English and Italian. That said, the cultural context and definition /could/ be different, meaning instead not a literal tunnel but ... ahh whatever.

I came here to recommend turnkey linux also. They have a PHPBB turnkey linux, and their backup solution to Amazon S3 ROCKS. So cheap to keep a backup.

Why would they have to split into 2 different brands to show content providers that statistic? Doesn't make sense to me.

$150k a year goes very far where I live. Correspondingly, though, there are no jobs which pay $150k a year here so the point is moot.

Just what lawyers need, free software because they don't bill enough to pay for software and the jobs it supplies.

Typical lawyers, want to charge you $$$ (250+ an hour) and yet spend NOTHING on the backend. They do not know the value of other people's time while over-valuing their own.

unfortunately there is no way this will happen. There are too many important competing interests which act at the beaurocratic/governance level which are anti-bandwidth.

MPAA/RIAA don't want people to stream quickly because they fear content being stolen
CIA/FBI don't want increased bandwidth because they need(or think they need) to be able to monitor and index all communication (TIA)
ATT/Verizon and other telecoms don't want to because it represents a cost that will interfere with their milking of customers
Comcast doesn't want it because it will interfere with their control over content

Everyone just wants to stay status quo or worse. This will never happen.
