RS,
I know of one organization in San Francisco with a /16 that was originally offering it for $500,000 and this week just raised it to $1,000,000. If you are interested I can connect you.

ARIN originally announced they would not allow the sale of IP address blocks, they now announced they will allow for sales and will transfer the address space.

Hold of you might get it for free. by doug http://www.pacitnews.org/2010/09/27/anti-virus-contract-renewal-time-hold-of-you-might-get-it-for-free/comment-page-1/#comment-56 doug Thu, 30 Sep 2010 07:23:09 +0000 http://www.pacitnews.org/2010/09/27/anti-virus-contract-renewal-time-hold-of-you-might-get-it-for-free/#comment-56 Sorry -- (on windows 7/32 bit) -- question was whether I need defender/firewall + security essentials. I had assumed so but usually Firewall will spark up if another antivirus software isn't there, and it didn't when I swapped out Kaspersky for Security Essentials. And now it says it isn't "on" even when I start the service. Really not sure but I suspect Firewall needs to be on for full network support? Thanks Doug; always appreciate your email/info even though I rarely get to meetings. G Sorry — (on windows 7/32 bit) — question was whether I need defender/firewall + security essentials.

I have passed it on to several non-techies as I think they can understand it and gain a lot of insight from it. It was well written both from a technical and a journalistic standpoint.

Great article. I have passed it on to several non-techies as I think
they can understand it and gain a lot of insight from it. It was well

the good work. Your research was appreciated.
