I use a three interface linux box with Shorewall http://www.shorewall.net/MultiISP.html
as the firewall software. Shorewall allows you to do Multi-ISP routing but does not do dynamic routing so you have to restart the software to change the routing. Dynamic routing based on link quality of very hard to do properly.

They don't deserve to be taken, they WANT to be taken. I work in audio and the people who can pay someone to put in a home theater are not happy to be told not to buy "oxygen depleted molecular aligned copper" cable to make the digital sound crisper - they WANT to think they have some special item so ridiculously expensive for what it does that the average Joe cannot afford it.
If they really wanted the best sounding equipment, they would buy professional gear, which is what the music is recorded with.
They don't, they want the most esoteric, bullshit laden nonsense that the magazines are pushing.
However, HDMI sucks and just doesn't work, so anything that offers a better solution and has widespread support is welcome.
But the idea that it will be popular in a year is stupid, there are no devices with this interface> It will take years to get mass adoption and be accepted.

>People actually watch the oscars?
People actually watch TV anymore?

"Although these offences involve cartoon characters it is nonetheless serious"
Emm...really? Did they get an interview with the victim? The family of the victim?
Can the victim testify?
How would he confront his accuser...the mind boggles.

Are you seriously trying to tell me that if the Simpson's animators draw Lisa getting out of the bath naked, they will go to jail? For a line drawing of an imaginary figure? How specific is the law that they can determine when the animation became pornographic?

I'm sure i have seen episodes where you see Bart naked - I guess anyone who watched that eposide goes to jail, all 20M people? That would be a big jail.

So it's not the creator of the content they jail, it is the person who looks at it? OMG, how stupid. If I am watching a cable channel and there is a poster on the wall of the scene showing a naked child, I have to turn myself in at the local constabulary, and report anyone else in the room that might have seen the program? How far can this be taken?

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

the courts need to raise the standard for proof of this crime. Just because there is CP on a computer should not be considered enough to prove the owner of the computer put it there. Computers, especially home computers running Windows, are inherently insecure and able to operate autonomously, subject to outside control without the owners knowledge. I can't think of any other possession we are less in control of, which is probably why there is no real analogous precedent for the courts to relate to.
The courts need to require that the prosecutor can show the owner DID download the material with knowledge, not just that it was there. The requirement for proof should be something like correlating an online conversation to a request for the material or carrying it on a DVD, purchasing it with the offenders card, something that shows it could not have been automated.
There is the potential for severe miscarriages of justice with the lax standard for proof presently employed which will inevitably lead to abuse and misuse of power. Once prosecutors have a slamdunk way to leverage a confession that will use and abuse it. All they have to do in ANY case is to look for a piece of CP on the defendant's computer, even if that has nothing to do with the case. No-one wants to go to jail for that and will confess to any other crime, even if they are not guilty. Look at the present case against prosecutors for manufacturing evidence if you don't believe they would do this. "there is no freestanding right not to be framed."

I had an engineering team do a survey of a site and explain to me how the handheld GPS units they used to record the perimeter with would be accurate as they "zero'ed" them by taking a reading at a known location before they started. They actual put that in a report.

A lot of people are under the impression that all GPS units are just as accurate. If that was the case, Trimble would be out of business.

Inexpensive GPS receivers will not resolve to as high an accuracy as the high end gear, even if they are in the same location. They won't have the computational ability, they will round more of the calculations, and the radios will not be as sensitive.

One has to be stationary.
