My first item is an issue. I happen to be down in Texas, specifically
Austin. The TV down here is just inundated with Ad's on "Ultimate TV".
It's Microsoft's challenge to Tivo. It rather sickens me because I know
it's not their idea and yet they're going to just clobber TiVo. Do we
have these ad's up there? The good news is I just did a quick web
search and it appears it only applies to DirecTV, a fact which the ad's
fail to mention. However I find it troublesome to see how a large
corporation with lot's of money can so easily trample the little guy.
BTW, I work for a large corporation so have nothing against big
corporations, only that I expect a certain amount of civility from 800
pound gorillas.
The other issue is technical. For those that didn't know, MediaOne /
AT+T Broadband stinks. Actually, and to be honest, it's a love hate
relationship. The fact is their infrastructure is very weak. In
particular their DNS server seems to be down or incredibly slow as often
as not. My Linux Firewall is running DNS Caching but that's not always
a big enough help. Any suggestions on how I can circumvent this
problem? I'm a Network Architect not a System Administrator so keep
your answers conceptual and I'll dig up the details.
Thanks for any help. GGK
