It's easy to answer. Government. Yeah, fascism is amazing like that. Just because it's your property doesn't mean it's your property. Hello! We all signed that incredibly legitimate and binding social contract with our very own baby blood.
Leave the internet alone. Stop regulating. Get out of the way so more ISP's can be created and let competition be the regulator. The fascistic democracy we are currently living in doesn't work.
It's always nice to see statists getting butt hurt by my comments.
The free market will always be better than any sort of government manipulated (with the smiley face aid of corporations) illusion of a free market. Free markets have built in regulation and just because none of the statists...
Net Neutrality = Government Regulation = Bad.
The problem, though, is all the other crap these big companies have gotten into the law books. So it's not even remotely a free market where idiotic practices can be corrected through market forces.
1. Would you describe yourself as a nerd?
2. What's your favorite thing about administering a network.
Security and Design. I am also strangely attracted to structured cabling, you know, when it resembles art more than it resembles a bunch of cables, that's hawt.
3. What's the part of...
Sounds like the worst idea ever. Get government out of it all. The problem is fascism and the over reaching arm of government and their marriage to big companies which in turn push out oppressive regulations that erode free enterprise. Net neutrality laws are a silly joke. If the free market...
Ummm..... This is the nature of fascism. This is hardly free enterprise. A more interesting graph to see would be profits in relation to lobbying or profits in relation to how many politicians have been bought. Free enterprise would actually fix this problem.
Check it out. This ISP is offereing gigabit for the same price as google fiber and they are offering it right now. - http://us4.campaign-archive1.com/?u=ca522cb93d9653cd435be312b&id=1df6a84f16&e=a22d037987
From what I can tell they will indeed allow you to run servers and you get to control...

You can always use TrueCrypt and create an encrypted file that you can mount like a thumb drive and drop your file(s) into.
Get an old (new if you want?) computer, slap 2 intel NICs in it then install pfsense and go nuts. You can do both OpenVPN and IPSEC either/or/both/none. (second post today with this same comment. :) )
I had a Dell precision 380 with 2 intel pro 1000's inside. I was pushing over 300 IPSec...
Grab a crappy computer, slap 2 intel NICs inside and install pfsense. You can do everything you are talking about with it and it will cost you very close to $0.
I would go IPSEC (super easy in pfSense), but if you can't put in a firewall at the DC it sounds like OpenVPN would be best for your situation. You would install the OpenVPN client on your CentOS server and the OpenVPN server can be pfSense. Then you just need to configure it the way you need...
I think it has a lot to do with emotion. People want to feel like they made a good purchase. Apple has positioned themselves in such a way that a lot of people make emotional connections with their devices, some sweet sweet robot love. This is also the same problem we have with politics. People...
To me it feels more like they are trying to shove certain things down everyone's throats. My guess is because they get more money for doing so. Some sort of incentive is driving the system and has nothing to do with taste or matching... /opinion.
There aren't many cops around that know how to do good honest police work, but that's by design. Who else would go after their own neighbors, friends and family by the simple order of their boss?
2001 did happen and is the result of a lot of this crap, you can't deny that. If you do, you are...
Perhaps some of you are taking this a little too seriously. We all know this is a marketing strategy. See it for what it is and maybe turn the rage down a little.
Not really. Government has no business running any business... period. Not even the beloved utilities. They didn't have much choice about Veracity. Either Veracity bought the competition or the competition went out of business on their own. Other ISP's wanted nothing to do with iProvo and for...
It's easy to understand. Provo failed miserably trying to be a government ISP. Land owners take the hit for the bad policies and continue to pay the bonds off. Provo politicians save face by selling the city fiber network to google for $1. Google gets a $30 million + jump start on laying fiber...
