...it would be nice if at least in the west people could find some more legal reassurance to running an exit node.
I'm in The West, and run an exit node without fear. If some jack-hole starts spewing CP through my node, I'm covered... *I* wasn't the one who was transmitting the info. Will the cops turn my electronic life inside out for a year or more? Yes. Will it be hella inconvenient? Yes. Will I be jailed? Fuck no.
Many good things came out of the Athena project. One of those things was X. *puts on random statistic hat* Another one of those things -which 90% of the corporate world uses every day- is Kerberos.
If you'd like to download the five problematic submissions and run VALGRIND against them, please email me the results. I'd be interested to see what is actually detected.

I think your comment illustrates my point - ISP limits will not be seen as an ISP issue but rather a content issue...
That wasn't my point at all. My father knew that my ISP offered higher monthly limits for more cash. He also knew how much monthly usage he signed up for, and the rate for exceeding that usage. My point is that he didn't say "Oh, those damn web sites, why don't they make everything smaller so it downloads quicker?" He said "All right, family. If you want to spend more time on the Internet, you have to fork out the cash to do so." He didn't focus on the ISP or the content. He focused on the terms of the service agreement that he entered into. Did it limit our usage of New Media? Yes. I don't see how you can point the finger at the content providers, though.
Caps actually work in ISP's favor if they are also in the video business...
Aye. I know this. Most of slashdot probably knows this as well.:) Most of slashdot probably wishes that the cablecos would drop analogue cable and do everything over IP... we *might* end up getting either cheaper or faster access.
Also, your ISP has put a price tag on add'l bandwidth? Who's your provider?
It's a major provider; right now pricing is tiered by speed; not use
I'm confused. *Does* your ISP currently have a "pay $25/mo for higher caps" policy in your region?
I think most internet users will see it as a content provider, not ISP issue.
I really doubt this. Back when I was using dial-up at my parents house (in 1997), my computer-illiterate father didn't blame our ISP when they charged us extra for going over our hourly limit... he blamed the folks in the house who pushed us over said limit.
Also, your ISP has put a price tag on add'l bandwidth? Who's your provider?
Um. The prices *should* be next to nothing. I manage my own little corner of the Internet. It's *VERY* easy to add subdomains. Hell, it's even scriptable for fully hands-off management!
Will it, really? I mean, if any organization can register a TLD and sell subdomains within it, that would drastically increase the supply of domain names.
But, um... what happens when we run out of IPv4 addresses? Chaos, I tell you!
What kind of battery life would you get from a phone with a built in voicemail and auto attendant?
I imagine that the battery life while handling a call wouldn't be much worse than during any other call. When the phone's not handling a call, why would the battery drain be higher on a phone that's configured as an attendant than one one that doesn't have this feature? Don't phones have flash-based internal storage (or something very similar) these days? As for voicemail storage, I imagine that one could sacrifice some of the space allocated for pictures and MP3s and games to store local voicemail messages.
Not if you actually do some cryptographic handshaking with an authentication daemon after you find your "home" network, but before you upload your contacts.

Yeah, passive hubs at that.
Think of the power savings!
Mmm. We should get rid of kdawson. (Of course, /.'s board of corporate overlord directors probably likes all the ad revenue that he brings in. :/ )
You should check out alterslash.org. It's an excellent way to sort through the shitty /. comments and get to some decent threads.
Just b/c someone was asleep at the switch and let a bug slip into routers, doesn't mean the internet is better with just switches.
Duh. PP's not talking about switches. He's talking about *hubs*.

If you don't like it, run Linux, install SELinux and block everything by default.
Pff. I'm using grsecurity, you insensitive clod.
the prices won't go down...

Why would you have been required to replace your apps when you dropped in a new CPU? WTF kind of insane licensing have you agreed to?
