... Data? Even home connections are getting caps now. I already warned my Comcast local they would lose me if they try it, and they haven't.

I couldn't agree more. It actually might be better to have a DSL connection than a throttled to less than DSL bandwidth cable connection! Something to consider. If you can not get FTTH, get DSL, let Cable die like FLASH!

The #1 issue for me with my next apartment/home is Fiber To The Home (FTTH). With bi-directional synchronous FTTH, the same bandwidth upstream as downstream, CAPS are literally unnecessary as the upstream bandwidth is your cap. If you need to stream more content than you are alloted...

Greater than 10Gb X 60 seconds X 60 minutes X 24 hours X 365 days a year...you just increase your plan from 10Gb/10Gb to 20Gb/20Gb or the next highest plan. Keep in mind that while 1Gb/1Gb has historically cost allot in the USA, in Japan it only costs $55 per month or less for 1Gb/1Gb and has been that low since the year 2000. Even if Google charges $75 per month in Kansas City (due first quarter 2012) it will be so much better than Cable...my guess is Cable subscribers will drop to 0 in all areas where FTTH is available. Considering their anti-American anti-consumer practices over the last 30 years I could care less about Cable companies.

So many people lost their homes through the conservative started, liberal continued redistribution of wealth over the last few years, why would you buy any house that did not offer FTTH today? I would not.

Last time I checked, ICMP and IGMP were both layer 3 and pretty popular. According to Wikipedia IPSec is also "officially" layer 3, but I always considered it part of IPv6, and an extension to IPv4.

The pretence of creating a company separate to the Government is a load of bollocks to start with and done only to try and hide crucial facts from the public, as a company does not have the same disclosure obligations as the Government. This has successfully killed off what little competition there was in the market and will lead to hugely inflated costs with only marginally better accessibility for internet users. I've been in my current residence waiting 2.5 years for someone other then Telstra or Optus to put in ADSL 2.0 so I can stop getting price gouged, you can bet I gave up on any of the others upgrading their network in my area after the NBN was announced.

Well I said preowned because they don't make the fat anymore. I just feel like the slim is a step backward tech wise. Ps3 should have been $249 last year.

I'd buy a preowned PS3 fat for $200 in a heartbeat. $249 still seems like too much to me. Great for competition though...

I won't even go into the specifics, others can do that, I only want to point out the hypocrisy of an IT person playing naysayer against the iPad due to what are seen as restrictions. I mean seriously when has IT EVER, EVER, EVER been about "end user innovation"? IT has instead focused on anything but that and made locking down computers to a point where they are nothing more than machines to run MS Office a science! Amazing truly amazing.

whatever Space X said about their topic- who cares i mean like normal people only knows that the scientists are planing to use satellites "how to stop comet crashing with earth"?

I think it depends how the book is written. For, say, an Agatha Christie it might be vital, but for Terry Pratchett the story itself is the entertainment.

no.!! it's not aren't you heard about cashback.!? then please you must have to ______________________

Well, there is nothing to complain about, as long as you keep Windows Update turned on, have both software and physical defenses in place such as a hardware based Firewall in place, you should not have anything to worry about.

Androids do tethering out of the box too. But some carriers charge extra for tethered data. By rooting the phone, you can hide the fact that you're using it as a tether and thereby avoid the extra charges.

A quick glance showed a lot of information on topics that I would consider to be terrorist related activities. I seen mention of making bombs, hiding stuff, and even mention of ricin, which my understanding is a poison. So I wonder, is it really safe to make information like this public-ally available knowing full well that hundreds of thousands of people will potentially download this information and use it for god knows what purpose?

hmmmm nice saying.. we also can say "Computers are a lot like humans..They both work great when they are virus free"

somebody already said :-> Now, that's better. As I was saying, I thought I was anonymous when I was on the internet.

omg.!!! now where would we do commenting..&..because my all friends contacts are in slashdot networking site & one more thing :- i found that es.uk

but in my laptop i m using 4.5 Drivers.!!! is it good or Not.!? what's your opinion about this... .!?

So much for Google's blog post in February, "The freedom to be who you want to be..." which extolled the "great benefits" of pseudonymity. http://googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2011/02/freedom-to-be-who-you-want-to-be.html

Other recent suspensions:

• * A guy who used a pseudonym on Google+ ("Thomas Monopoly") claims to have lost his entire account including "approximately 7 years of correspondence, over 4,800 photographs and videos, my Google Voice messages, over 500 articles saved to my Google Reader account for scholarship purposes all of my bookmarks, having used Google bookmarks my Docs account with shared documents and backups of inventory files my own personal calendar of doctors appointments, meetings, and various other dates collaborative calendars, of which I was the creator and of which several man hours were put into creating, community calendars my saved maps and travel history medical records and a variety of very important notes [and] My website, a blogger account for which I purchased the domain through Google and designed myself": http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/why-you-shouldnt-trust-google-or-any-cloud-service-with-your-data/13860
• * Daynah (a Senior Editor at Beatweek Magazine and a blogger at Cali Lewis' GeekBeat.TV) was suspended from Google+ on Saturday, presumably because her Google+ name was "Daynah .net" (she never shares her last name online due to privacy and safety concerns). I believe it was just her Google+ account that got suspended, not her e-mail or access to other services. Her profile is still suspended as of when I'm posting this.
• * I was suspended from Google+ on Friday, June 15th through Wednesday, June 20th, presumably because my Google+ name was "the JoshMeister" (which is how I'm known to almost all of my friends and followers online, on my podcasts which have been downloaded over a million times, including at my employment at MacTech Magazine as the Podcast Producer and Host). I tried changing my name to my first and last name with the JoshMeister in parenthesis after it, but that was also rejected, so ultimately I had to settle for using just my real first and last name. Unfortunately, my name is fairly common, and there are already several people with that name on Google+, making it significantly more difficult for people to find and recognize me or + mention me. I did not lose access to Google services other than Google+ and Google Buzz, although I did have to log in again to my e-mail and other services because Google claimed there had been "suspicious activity" (although I confirmed that nobody had accessed my account other than me).

Lists of suspensions:

• * Robert Scoble (linking to Skud's link below) inadvertently began compiling a public list of suspended Google+ accounts here, along with some good discussion of the topic and links to other lists: https://plus.google.com/111091089527727420853/posts/YnzXfbpe9Nj
• * Skud is compiling a private list of suspended Google+ accounts here: http://is.gd/nonplussed (redirects to Google Docs form)

Examples of Google's double standard and inconsistency:

• * Some people such as "Soulja Boy" (a recording artist) and "Violet Blue" (the author of the linked ZDNet article) get special treatment and have not been suspended for using their pseudonyms on Google+
• * "Die Ennomane" (die means "the" in German) was suspended but then was allowed to keep the pseudonym after German media coverage
• * Google has turned a blind ey

Multiple copies, Multiple formats, Multiple locations...If your data is truly worth something to you, this is the only and best approach. LTO-5, BD-R, and RAID are not bad ideas.

excuse me somebody said that With governments worldwide moving to radio intercepts of neural signals, such services will soon be a waste of resources. Unless they can come up with a masking service to prevent the reconstruction of human thoughts, this type of research is going nowhere and will only expose people.

it is a big deal, well forget it i think this is good for DHCP services becoz all networking administrator people use their in office or we can say that it's better...

well i think it will be most helpful & profitable to us and already someone said that he would've had better luck just coming here and asking them kindly to stop rather than ticking them off.

E.S.UK = well i think it will be helpful or profitable to us and someone already said that Far more skin is used than bones to make gelatin.

excuse-me whats your meaning about that (find it):- someone said that the Bring legal standards or STFU. "Ethical" and "civic" standards are subjective. That's one reason LAWS were written..All the Slate statement boils down to is "we haet Amazon, herp derp".

ummm.!!! as saying windows 8 maybe it will be good but os xp (experience) is better than & i proudly feel when m working on this..

Maybe banks need to Find new Way To Sell Consumers' Shopping Data from da help of E.S.O.UK

or we can say that also about anything.. people should write on diss :->

ahm.!! ahm.!!! excuse-me somebody said that Asbestos on the other hand is a bi-product of a fungus.....Anyone who doesn't already understand that, isn't going to. Let nature take its course.

I wonder if that quote representative of the quality of essays the essay writing company you are spamming for produces.

ahm.!! ahm.!!! excuse-me somebody said that Asbestos on the other hand is a bi-product of a fungus.....Anyone who doesn't already understand that, isn't going to. Let nature take its course.

popper's analysis of science is weak. It's based in the idea that their are 'facts' and that these facts are truths. If we accept certain axioms such as that we are not living in 'the matrix' etc then we can all agree that yes the sun is 'above' the earth, that planes fly, that this conversation is happening on server somewhere. Anybody who understands anything about the philosophy of science will understand and accept these things. The issue with popper is that he fails to recognise that the creation of scientific truth is a human endeavour and thus subject to human flaws, a far better analysis of the production of science is produced by Bruno Latour in Science in action - see Google books http://is.gd/07KejQ Perhaps the OP should widen their circle of scholarship before making such muddle-headed comments PS Sokal may have got a paper published in social text, but various scientific journals have accepted papers from people that show they are equally as gullible to accepting papers devoid of logic or proof. The problem with peer review is that it is peer review: ideas that are only acceptable to ones peers will be published. Challenges to the current orthodoxy typically have to be publicised through journals outside the mainstream view

I'm sure if i looked around the numerous scientific fields I could find stupid comments made by scientists. I suspect that the author misunderstood the lesson or was so blinded by his faith in science that he misquotes Feyerabend "that there is no such thing as scientific method and that physicists have no better claim to knowledge than voodoo priests" but then again I have never been taught by Feyerabend and if Feyerabend had said something so stupid then he is deserving of ridicule

At the start of my masters programme in the history and philosophy of science and medicine we were reminded of one key thing. I will paraphrase my professors here "planes fly, humans don't" Science clearly works, we live in a world of technological innovation but that doesn't mean what scientists say they are doing is what they are actually doing.

The scientific method is all very well, the problem is that it is being performed by humans, who have a tendency to see correlation and to see that as confirmation. A better place to start with an analysis of science would be bruno latours science in action http://is.gd/myOXXC http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=sC4bk4DZXTQC&printsec=frontcover&dq=bruno+latour+science+in+action&source=bl&ots=W8mIxp89UA&sig=EUuZoalIj9J7Nh_gGckWURJq8lM&hl=en&ei=YcswTcTvIJO6hAfx3aTCCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CEAQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false

Another place to look might be at the apparent failures in the scientific method http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/12/13/101213fa_fact_lehrer?currentPage=all - where an apparently strong signal overtime falls back into background noise. The issue here is not fraud but merely that what is published, what is funded has more to do with human failings and the need to provide clear evidence in fields where given an environment where all aspects of all conditions are controlled the organism will do as it damm well pleases

It's fantastic

I'd agree were it not for the following http://twitter.com/wikileaks post yesterday: "WARNING all 637,000 @wikileaks followers are a target of US gov subpoena against Twitter, under section 2. B http://is.gd/koZIA" [redirect to PDF of the subpoena hosted on salon.com].

The linked document has no section 2. B

According to Wikileaks themselves (Slashdot breaks cut & paste in Chromium, so no link):

WARNING all 637,000 @wikileaks followers are a target of US gov subpoena against Twitter, under section 2. B http://is.gd/koZIA [pdf of subpoena].

Which would include people like me.

A Democrat congresswoman is shot, and a federal judge and 8 others are killed. This would be shocking, except that it's not. The congresswoman "beat back a tough challenge from a Tea Party-endorsed opponent."

So we have organization that promotes having its supporters brandish weapons at its rallies, has its most prominatent supporters openly talk about advocate armed rebellion, and armed secession, and other defunct 19th century extremist ideas, demonizing a duly elected political opponent, and now we have her shot, and 9 others killed.
