My Uni was awesome and much better than any book or forum I have ever read, for intro-medium programming anyway. My classes taught me how to "think", something you rarely ever learn outside of experience.
Lots of in-class discussions about pros and cons and general tossing around ideas. This wasn't just limited to my major, but many different classes in my generals.
1) Teacher gives context
2) Teacher presents problem
3) Class tosses around ideas
4) Teacher gives "correct" answer and contrasts against the better student ideas
Learning how to think, research, and pre-emptively see other's view-points are the most important things that I learned from college.
If you look up Fiber roll-outs from the past 8 years, they're almost all "smaller" ISPs and offer cheaper/faster internet and most have already paid off the infrastructure costs.
Small start-up ISPs have been offering faster and cheaper internet in rural areas than Comcast/AT&T/etc can offer in a suburb.
Same thing can be said about loading web-pages in general. Want to check your weather? Start loading the page and it should finish by the time you wake up.
They don't DPI the information, they just get LOTS of useful information on data-flows. It's like.. ohh, look at this big name YouTube movie trailer, wow, look at those data patterns.
You don't need to see the data to get useful information. ISPs already do this because YOU HAVE TO, if you want to do any amount of educated infrastructure investments.
If they don't like the benefits afforded by society as a whole, they are allowed to leave. If they're that worried about losing a small amount of money to taxes, then they are free to go find some unclaimed land and protect it themselves.
I am curious as to why we're not supposed to achieve 1% of c. I thought the whole purpose of using an ion-thruster was to potentially achieve relativistic speeds, which you can't do with chemical rockets.
Mind my laymen's explanation, which could be completely wrong. My understanding was that chemical rockets have a maxed velocity because the energy departed from burning fuel is based on the the relatively slow speed that the matter leaves the rocket based on the temperature of exhaust. Ion-thrusters shoot ionic matter out the back-end at much higher speeds, much like a particle accelerator, but slightly lower power right now.
I have known several women on the pill who got pregnant.
Probably didn't take the pill on time or took one of the many common health supplements or antibiotics.
Condoms are 99.9% effective. Of that remaining 0.1%, the number-one reason of "failure" is "not using". I found that to be funny also. Non-use is considered failure?
The Earth already can't support what we got. We are consuming natural resources faster than they're being replenished just to keep farmland farm-able. At some point we're going to run out of importable minerals/fertilizer/etc and farm output is going to nose-dive. Depending on how fast it happens, we could be looking at mass starvation and diseases until the population plummets to sustainable levels.
I only mentioned farms. There are also energy and other resources to worry about.
You'd think with deep packet inspection now available this shallow packet inspection would be broadly adopted
This could actually be done by the end-points. Cable/DSL/Fiber "modems", could make sure that the source IP is of a valid IP list and/or subnet, since the end-point already needs to register with the ISP to hand out IP addresses.
Don't worry, Steam is coming to Linux. Soon Linux will start to become a "regular user" OS, so it can join the ranks of Windows as a zombie in a bot-net.
Netflix is 1/3 of the USA Internet traffic during peak. I don't think you understand the scale. No matter what Netflix does, they have to do it via "cloud". Be it a 3rd party like Amazon, or creating their own infrastructure, it will be almost identical in the end. The main benefit of using Amazon is Netflix doesn't have to re-create the whole wheel.
Amazon already has billions upon billions invested into infrastructure and Netflix would have to re-create that if they want any hope of handling 1/3 of the USA.
I know Netflix is building their own FreeBSD local cache servers that can be installed locally at the ISPs to help alleviate trunk traffic, so they are starting to branch out past just a media company.
What "attitude"? You mean the one where they say (paraphrased) "This will get pirated at some point anyway, so here's out movie for free. If you like it, please purchase out DRM-free version with extras".
Uploading your content to the public and placing a piracy warning is like handing a stranger a $20 bill, telling them it is not their money, then walking away. There is an inference that happens even if you told them it's not your money to spend.
Exactly. This is why we need a decent safety net for health services. People who don't get helped can affect others, so it is in everyone's best interest to have a certain bare-minimum.
I think the only classes I ever had that had required attendance was higher 300+ classes when you had team projects.
When I went to my state Uni, if a class was not full, you could sit in on lectures, just don't be asking questions, consume resources like hand-outs, or otherwise disrupt the class.
I said "other fiber companies" because I've been following GPON since it started getting installed around here and all the "success stories" are claiming prices per house ranging from $700 to $3000 with near $1500 being the most common.
Your two links don't work and the primary body of your post is from a recognized troll post that has factually incorrect information and is 10 years old. Maybe I'm not sensing the sarcasm and my detector is broken.
Ignoring the dual GPU video cards, the "high end" GPUs are pulling around 130watts peak. CPUs are around 125watts peak, so 255watts about represents a $1.5k-$2k 8-12 thread AMD7870 computer.
But..but...but.. dual GPUs... Well, I can purchase an 8 socket AMD and cross-fire 8 GPUs, but I wouldn't consider that a "desktop". Dual GPUs is like extreme enthusiast.
It cracks me up when I see guys putting 700W power supplies into their gaming rigs that never draw more than 300W (and none seem to understand the difference between AC power draw from the wall and DC power draw of the components in their system, which is what the PSUs are rated for). It's basically flushing money down the toilet in multiple ways.
About sums it up for me. Time and time again, reviews show "at the wall" power draws for modern non-OC'd, non-dual GPU high end desktops being under 300 watts at peak.
Parameterized inputs (prepared statements) can work with any binary data, this is not something sanitizing your inputs can handle. Parameterized inputs completely separates the command from the parameters.
Ever try to stream a 1TB file to a DB using "sanitized" inputs? I can do that with parmeterized inputs and it's fast as writing to the file system. Not that I recommend doing this.
Say I have a user called "WebClient" for my DB back-end. I can give that user execute permissions on specific stored procedures and allow access only to the schema of "web".
The web server does not have access to anything except to execute sprocs. This means if that user is compromised, the most they can do is call sprocs that hopefully have some basic business logic.
Letting a user have direct access to entire views/tables allows for a compromised user account to dump entire tables.
You can go so far as to have the sprocs accept a token as a parameter, which the token maps to a given user account. The sprocs can enforce basic user permissions this way. Unless the the hacker has access to read/write to the token table, it will be very hard for them to get any data out of the system.

XanC was being sarcastic as he quoted Schmidt.

Ring 0 has to do with Kernel level, not user permissions.
"root" is like being an all-powerful dictator, Ring 0 is like being god and controlling the fabric of the Universe itself.
For example: It is possible for your refusal to use the public domain to take away from my freedom to use the public domain.
It is impossible to take from someone something that which they never had.
You've ventured into the RIAA's "lost sale" logic.

Google is claiming about $1500/house, which lines up with estimated costs from many other fiber companies.
