the Supreme Court will likely also ascertain whether AT&T could be held to violate antitrust law without setting its retail prices below its own cost.
That might be because they [were/are] a [monopoly/oligopoly] whose network was largely built at public expense and 'their cost' is a calculated 'average cost' when the rest of the world gets measured by marginal costs...
Remember that the world of RBOCs has a sky of a completely different color.
Specially, where load involves lots of concurrent power-consuming TCP connections
I really don't think all those connection management packets add up to much wattage flowing through the tubes...
On a serious note good hardware load balancing solutions can already aggregate traffic onto tiers of servers, adding more as the load rises, and minimize the number of backend TCP connections to the servers by doing things like multiplexing/pipelining.
So you think a retail ISP has end-to-end Internet CIRs [Committed Information Rates = guaranteed bandwidth] from their Tier 1? Why don't you just ask for 6 9's uptime in the SLA [Service Level Agreement] while you're at it.
I live in Europe, and am the co-administrator of Phantasy Star Cave. One day I couldn't access it for hours, so I traced the domain, and telia was the node it stopped at. So when I saw this story I was like "That's it! That was the problem!".
You mean other then the living in Europe and being co-admin of Phantasy Star Cave...
I kid, I kid. I would apply pressure to Telia. I would have all Telia customers do the same. I would also make sure that all the affected hosts/content providers complain to their ISPs. If enough people complain then Cogent will get forced into backing down either by lawyers or other ISPs having 'peering problems' with Cogent.
snip Swedish users snip Cogent snip Telia snip What really has me concerned snip isn't it dangerously like censorship? Perhaps someone should ask the FCC. My brain is bleeding...
And Rupert Holmes ripped off Jimmy Buffet when he released the Piña Colada song...
C'mon there is a difference between stealing someones game and tweaking it _without license_ and writing a game that is somewhat similar in game play but completely different.
due to an average of 35 data input errors per day by the Social Security Administration (SSA)... deletion must be approved by a supervisor after "pertinent facts supporting reinstatement" are available in the system.'"
Wouldn't the "pertinent facts" be easily established by looking at the incoming documentation saying "Jane Smith, Age 83, SSN XXX-XX-1234 died on 1/1/08" and noticing that "Billy McAnyone, Age 30, XXX-XX-1243" is the one you killed? I mean we're talking about clerical errors within the SSA so their own documentation won't match- how hard is this to (god forbid) detect on their own, none the less validate after the living-dead point out the problem?
I think he was asking if someone highly qualified but gay could be a civilian contractor... But if you still want to respond with "drop and give me twenty"...
And if the GP wasn't, then I am- First my ground assumptions: This is an entirely different battlefield with entirely different physical constraints and requirements. The particular KSAs involved tend to be found in persons that had some degree of social isolation. Hard-core 'cyber' geeks tend towards fat, scrawny, gay, lesbian, blind in one eye, flat footed, or some combination of the above.
Would you agree that the intentions behind the policies excluding such people from serving in the armed forces do not apply [as strongly to / to] the Cyber Command? Would you be willing to look at creative means to be more inclusive of the community that you wish to recruit from?
You also work in one of the few remaining environments where you are guaranteed promotions based on how long you stick around. It's only when you hit what, Sergeant?, that your actual performance was a factor.
A while ago somebody noticed that anti-depressant drugs don't work at all unless they have some side-effects.
In any case, it reminds me of a similar effect in microeconomics, in which consumers would tend to evaluate a widget more favorably if they had paid more money for it.
You're right this psychology crap is bullshit:)
On a related note most of us don't pay for/. -- which might explain a lot!
Like bird poo, smashed butterflies, roadkill blood, garbage, mud, tree leaves, etc? My lord man are you sure your that will be your most immediate concern at that point?
I guess it depends if your front grille and pants are made of some self cleaning nanomaterials...
X.509 v3 Extensions (specifically the subjectAltName).
RFC 3280 has all the gory the details. Ahh yeah ok I wasn't thinking about subject alternate names. I wasn't really thinking of a case where one organization simply uses multiple domain names. That requires that the webhost maintains a single certificate for all of the secure domains hosted. That won't always work in cases where the different sites are owned by different entities- or more specifically this wouldn't always be allowed.
would it be feasible to host, for example, 100 different websites on one ip using header information? or does that have traffic spike issues/ latency issues/ wasted cycles involved? The real problem is https not http - you don't get the host header until well after you had to present a certificate to the browser. For http 100 'virtual host-by-name' sites on one IP wouldn't even break a sweat for a good setup.
Actually, you need to see 4 satellites, since GPS sees time as a fourth coordinate.
And with non-geostationary satellites, you'd face a number of issues. You'd need a lot more of the satellites (to ensure that you can see four of them, at any time and place), you'd have to precisely know their orbits, deal with crap like doppler shift (since those sats will be moving quite fast in relation to you), and whatnot.
Ok Ok you got me on the 4vs3 thing, let me finish my coffee, but don't tell the current GPS system that you need geostationary orbits... And yes you need dozens of satellites. Which is easier lobbing a few dozen GPS satellites into lower orbit with reprogrammed ICBMs or getting a dozen or so into geostationary orbit on expensive, not floating around the ocean by the hundreds, long lead time launch vehicles?
Who said anything about geosynchronous orbit? You just need to see 3 satellites and know if you're in outer space or not... They can tell you where they are.
The part I find questionable is the "challenge response" part...
As someone who understands that gross margin != net profit, it's a shame to see you make comments like:
As an AAPL stockholder, let me point out to you on Slashdot who actually owns corporations. It isn't rich, white fat cats twirling their mustaches. Two thirds of all publicly-traded stocks in the USA are owned by the small investor, either directly or through some sort of investment fund.
Which is as assanine and wrong-headed as the others thoughts on profit. Ownership is wholly irrelevant the issue is control, and it's the "rich, white fat cats twirling their mustaches"* that control most corporations.
*Note they only need to be rich not white, fat, or mustachioed.

For everyone yelling 'patent troll,' realize that she has been trying to enforce her rights since at least 1995. She also seems perfectly willing to license the technology http://www.compoundsemi.com/documents/articles/cldoc/7121.html...

Sure just don't put it on their by violating the license terms of THEIR SDK.
I agree.
I think apple is being stupid and short-sighted to a degree that is only surpassed by the anonymous posters musings about possible regulation.

That really depends on if he mean big-L "Libertarians" or he was just capitalizing the L in "libertarians" because it started the sentence.
Libertarians = members of a political party
