4/14    Are there any reputable ISPs that have a pre-payment plan,
        e.g. you pay for a year in advance and in exchange, get a
        dicounted rate?
        \_ isn't 'reputable ISP' some kind of oxymoron?
        \_ the experience of most of my friends is that they go
           for such a plan as the service is good at the outset,
           and in a few months it's gone to pot and they're screwed
           for the rest of the year or whatnot.  good luck in your
           quest to find a decent isp.
        \_ FWIW, I know people who have had good experiences with http://rahul.net
           and http://idiom.com. If you want cheap, http://autobahn.org has nice student
           discounts.
        \_ Ricochet has a $299 prepay plan or monthly 34.95 plan. - tpc
                \_ Stillpushing the Ricochet crap?  They pay you?
           \_ I'm sorry, that is too expensive to justify going wireless.
              Ricochet should die, just like ISDN. High price, low demand.
              GET IT???!?!?? Take a business class.
              \_ I have a Ricochet and love it.  Where else can you get
                 24x7 connectivity (much less *portable* connectivity)
                 for $25/month?  I leave the thing connected for days
                 at a time without needing a second phone line ($15 or so
                 right there), check email from coffeeshops,
                 and hardly ever use dialups any more even from home.
                 Ricochet *rules*.  --phr
              \_ as if. laptops are getting way cheap; handhelds are booming
                 the market for Ricochet is growing wildly, both for
                 vertical and consumer applications
                \_ Oh puleeze, keep the hype off the motd.  vertical apps?
                   Are you a palmpilot or ricochet salesdrone?

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

11/1    I'm moving from a home in Fremont to another home within the same ZIP
        code in Fremont, and AT&T customer service says I cannot transfer my
        DSL service because DSL is not available at my new home.  Is that BS?
        Are they just trying to push me to subscribe to their more expensive
        U-verse service?  I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.
