Short answer, No. TCP doesn't back off until packets are lost. uTP looks for latency increases which happen before packet loss (and therefore, before TCP congestion control kicks in) and throttles itself preemptively. Put another way, TCP treats all senders as having an equal right to bandwidth. uTP doesn't want to assert an equal right to bandwidth, it wants to send and receive in the unused portion of the available connection.
I hear you. I think we all kind of decided to sign up at once, and on that day it was just a matter of what time zone you lived in and when you got around to reading slashdot. You and I probably signed up about six hours apart.
He's still relevant because out of all the engineers who've ever done anything, Woz is very arguably in the top 10, period, of all time, end of story (which makes him one of the few, if any, who are still alive)
He's he first man who built modern computer hardware, then personally wrote the software that ran on top of it, all the while providing an extensible hardware and software system that other engineers could (and did, wildly) build upon. He literally built a huge chunk of this industry by himself, and another huge chunk was built on his shoulders.
If Microsoft starts sueing IBMs customers, then IBM will go to war, just like they did against SCO. IBM Legal aren't know as The Nazgul for no reason.
If this comes to blows, IBM will have to a) provide non-infringing replacements, or b) indemnify their customers and go to the mattresses with their unparalleled patent arsenal. My guess is the MS just bit off more than they can chew. There are some rules you never break, and getting into a patent battle with IBM is right up there with starting a land war in Asia.
There's nothing in the mainline client that restricts you to downlaoding stuff from the web store. You can use it to download any thing with an associate.torrent file. You act like the DRM is built into the protocol somehow. It's not.
uTorrent is most likely going to go on being uTorrent.
Considering that it prevented the U.S. from suffering a socialist uprising/overthrow during the 20th Century, I'd say yes. Compare our history to that of any other western industrial nation. A little socialism to stave off a lot; probably ought to be a good deal in your book.
To be fair, that could also be Han bragging that the Falcon is capable of taking shortcuts that other ships can't or won't attempt. That's how I've always read it.
The problem is that the Alberta oilsands production is getting more and more expensive due to rising natural gas and equipment prices. Shell in particular, is having problems. But regardless, oil sands production will never equal the kind of flow rates that Canada's conventional oil has enjoyed. They might be good for as many as a million barrels a day in 20 years or so, assuming they can get enough natural gas, but that's no where near Canada's conventional production.
DXM (short for dextromethorphan) is unscheduled. You can buy it by the pound from Merck.
The reason you have to show ID to buy a lot of cough and cold medicines these days is because it's easy to run a simple acid-base extraction on the pseudoephedrine contained therein, and with a little more chemical voodoo, produce methamphetamine.
Together with a random port there should be no way to detect and thus affect the traffic.
The traffic analysis necessary to detect BitTorrent traffic is trivial; nothing else opens a large number of connections and starts sending data the way that BitTorrent does. Encryption has worked with some ISPs because they've only made a half-hearted effort to traffic-shape. As it currently stands, many users have a choice of broadband providers and will switch if their carrier is too aggressive, and in most cases it's easier to simply cap all of an heavy user's bandwidth than to waste the cycles trying to find the BT traffic in particular.
But rest assured, the traffic analysis is child's play. If ISPs want to stop BT traffic, encryption won't present any impediments.
The 1 Gb pipe is for seeding, to make sure a swarm can never die. If only one person is downloading a given file, it'll end up being a straight download, but if there's anybody else in the swarm, the BitTorrent effect will kick in and improve things for everyone.
I used a serial->USB adapter to do just that. It scanned them just fine, but it didn't register the ISBN as printed below the bar code or on the copyright page. You got about twice as many bytes, about half of which were letters. My guess is that:cuecat used a non-standard barcode. I was going to suss out the algorithm and write a conversion utility, but then I lost the data to a B-tree corruption, and never got around to rescanning them.

Bram didn't write that or ever work for Blizzard. He worked for Valve for a while, which might be what you're thinking of.
Blizzard's downloader is based on an early version of the open-source BitTorrent client.

(something that is unfortunately common among those that have an early success in their careers, at the BitTorrent guys did).
Big words from the man who "invented" Freenet. *coughBrandonWileycough*

As a seventh-generation Texan*, I expect a hell of a lot more.
*On the Anglo side; no one ever counts the Comanche...
If that's your concern, use the official BitTorrent client.
It's Open Source, written in Python, and the code is there for you to see.

Goddamnit, where are my mod points when I need them.
It's important to realize that Grouper was founded by Josh Feltzer of spinner.com fame.
In other words, Sony didn't buy Grouper for $65 million, Josh Feltzer sold Grouper for $65 million.

They're not selling streaming video, they're selling downloads to own.
There are some nifty things you can do for BitTorrent-assisted streaming, but that's not what they're up to right now.
The 1 Gb pipe is for seeding, to make sure a swarm can never die. If only one person is downloading a given file, it'll end up being a straight download, but if there's anybody else in the swarm, the BitTorrent effect will kick in and improve things for everyone.
Heh, well done.
God, I love that movie.

Have you personally met anyone who has been to the moon?
Two of them, actually. All part of the fun of growing up near the JSC.
