i guess you dont keep your OS up-to-date do you? Or would you find it acceptable that it takes 5 hours for WindowsUpdate (or PackageManager) to download this week's vendor patches? If I know that this week's patch updates are going to be large, I drive into the office where I have access to a 10Mbit/sec Internet connection. If the number/size of patches is small, I'll download them via my 3G wireless card.
On another note, what's the difference between my downloading parts 1-6 of CentOS5.3 from 6 different sites concurrently, and downloading the Torrent??? I'm still going to be limited to 10Mbit/sec download. I also check the hop-count between my current peering gateway (my provider has several peering sites) and the sites from which I download the 6 parts.
Would it be better for me to use wget and download the six files one after the other from the single closest repository, or simultaneously get 1 each from 6 different sources?
my harpercollins paperback of Making Money by Terry Pratchett (buy his books) has an ad for Thud! and Going Postal on the inside front cover, a chapter of Nation at the back, and four pages of ads at the back. The book was still $8US.

You just contradicted yourself. If 95 percent cannot afford private care (at the rates the goverment is paying for standardized care, then aren't the rates that you say were negotiated to high??????
Don't do this. If you drive 30 minutes north today and post, and tomorrow you drive 30 minutes south, the following two days your drive east and the west, you have just given the SCUM a cross-hair with you at the center.....
Back in the late 80's, I worked as network admin at a university. Most of the buildings on campus where relatively old, but I only had recurring problems in one of them. The building that held the English and History departments had an Equinox LM-48 in a cabinet in the back of a typing lab. One Monday morning we got a call that no-one in the building could get online. I checked the DS-15 port in the data center, and sure enough, no link, so I walked over to the lab and met the assistant dean who had the keys to let me in. When he unlocked the door, we both knew something was wrong because we could both smell the fried electronics... When I disconnected the LM-48 and picked it up, we could both hear what turned out to be pieces of serial chips rattling around inside the case. I replaced the unit with a spare and took the dead one back to my office. When I opened it up, I could see a couple (don't remember how many) of the chips had been blown up. Looking back, I probably had enough information to determine which PCs weren't grounded by which chips blew up, but that didn't occur to me then. About a month or so later, the same thing happened, but it happened on a week-night and when I heard the thunder, I knew I had just lost the replacement unit. Unfortunatlely, this was at 1am or so and I did not have keys to the English department.... So at 7am the next morning, when the assistant dean showed up, I was sitting outside his office with another replacement. He said something like "...the storm last night..." and I just nodded.
I don't remember the final resolution of the problem, but I do remember that from the 2nd strike until the problem was solved, every time I heard thunder I would run to the English building and with my newly assigned key, run upstairs and disconnect the rj-21 fanout cables. I would then leave a note on the English dept office informing them that they'd need to plug them in the in a.m. One evening, I didn't make it. I heard thunder and bolted for the English dept... I had my key in the buildings' outside door when lightning struck the building...and I knew I was too late. When I got upstairs, I could smell burnt electronics....
Probably at the same time as this was going on for me, my dad, who was a large-scale CSE had similar problems. I don't know how much 16-port line-cards for the system that he was supporting cost, but one day he had to replace eight or nine of them. The next day, UPS delivered two cases of copper-fiber-copper serial surge suppressors and he scheduled to install them. I don't think that site had problems after that.
Ok, so any ISP that has a direct connection to espn360.com is not going to be paying this fee, right????? Since Disney is already paying for that bandwidth. Its just a matter of finding their AS number and sending them a little note to the effect that Disney wants free internet access...
BS. I got good grades in school to prevent teachers from being able to curve grades. If I wanted to insure that no-one got any points, then I had to get a 100.
Unfortunately, after a few weeks of no curving, the teacher started to curve the grades no matter what I scored on the test...of course, a grade of 110 was satisfying too.
If that was true, wouldn't Charter have two cables coming into my house? One for cable and a separate one for Internet?
Also, with the more recent ScientificAtlanta (now Cisco) set-top boxes, when I change channels, they behave just like multicast...almost a second between the channel change and the picture/audio starting. Is this why we all have to have a receiver for each TV? Can someone with a cable sniffer tell me?
And I don't remember what game it was. One of those multi-player driving simulators at Dave&Busters back in 1995......If you crashed into the building at the base of the gorilla at 230+mph, then the gorilla would dance. Incedentally, this building was at the end of a fairly long straight that ended in a 90-degree right turn.... and if you were really good, you could lap the course faster by crashing at 230+, rather than braking for the corner... ah, the good old days of drinking and driving simulators.....
Back in the late '80s I was taking beginning comp-sci class in Pascal. Being that I worked for the University at the time, I used my account on the univerisity DPS-90 (CP-6) to write/compile/etc my programs. One program (really an example of how to call procedures) had about 10 1-to-3 line procedures. During the day, when the system was busy: hundreds of users, etc. everything was fine. During the evening, when I essentially had the entire machine to myself, the program wouldn't compile. In fact, if I compiled it three times in a row, it would fail at different places... After an hour or so, I give up and decide to try it again before I had to go to class the next morning. So, I recompile it in the morning, and what-do-you know, it compiles.
It turns out that the Pascal compiler was using the system clock to generate function names, and when the system was lightly loaded, it would compile consecutive functions quickly enough (remember, only a couple of statements) that it would use the same timestamp for both function names, which of course would cause the compiler to abort. After opening a case against the compiler and attaching code to reproduce the problem, IIRC the first note asked why i had half-a-dozen 1-line functions (read: Are you STUPID?) However a patch modified the function naming routine and eliminated the problem.
You are wrong too. Businesses that are victims of credit card frauld increase their prices to cover this added expense, which means that everyone except the fraudster pays for that fraud.
Am I the only person bothered by MS's use of the term 'patch'? To me, patching implies modifying a executable file with a binary editor. What MS does is send you a new binary or two or a thousand.
two points to make: 1) GUID's get caught by credit card regex 2) the reason for EV certificates is that the CAs weren't making enough money. If they had been doing their jobs, i.e. making sure that the cert application was valid, then there would be no need for EV certs.....but that would cut into their profit margin.
The solution????? I don't know, I don't write protocol specs.

On the other hand, won't DNSSEC and simple SSL make EV SSL certificates unnecessary?
You forgot that GE owns most of NBC, didn't you?
