Ars Technica: VoIP poses a regulatory challenge to the FCC

I want to move the phone line in my apartment to the Black/Yellow pair, leaving all my phones on the Red/Green pair, and then put this in the middle. Then I want to setup a database where all my friends [(who do the same thing) can publish their phone numbers along with their IP addresses. When I pick up my phone the dial tone will come from my computer. I dial a number, and it does a lookup on the database, and if the number is in the database it routes my call over the internet, otherwise it uses pots... All the voip, no monthly fee. Hellz Yeah!]

I'm down...

Ars Technica: G5 Power PC 970FX to hit 2.5GHz

Well more windows source has been leaked. Let me tell you whats going on. Microsoft leaked the code, right now they have some programmer contributing patches to the linux Kernel, and 6 months from now they are going to sue redhat and the rest of the linux community because some of their code ended up in the kernel. Really, I have seen the memo that has been circulating around Redmond.

[ Interesting theory. Hopefully the Linux folk are being *extra*, *EXTRA* careful about who's contributing patches. Because getting screwd by MS would be double-plus-ungood, a lot. -k]
