I dont know how BGP works, but I heard that way back in the day, some dude at some ISP announced that he had a/0, or some such thing, and the entire net got routed to him, and subsequently, broken. And then they put in filters into BGP so that core routers could say "you're full of crap that's not your ASN". Is the BGP system still sketchy enough that the existing safeguards against taking down stuff as big as a country still exist?

So what happens when the owner of this car leaves their lights on, drains the battery and the car has to be booked into a volvo dealer (the only people who can open the hood) to have the battery recharged?

i get worried when technological advantages allow us to overcome a physical limitation. being able to instantly replay anything we didnt sample properly the first time -- radio, tv, speech... someday cell phones will have a 2 second instant relay button, i bet. things that make people sloppy. same reason i avoid command aliases on my unix shell. i get worried that i'll get used to something that makes my life easier, and then when its gone, i'll be screwed. just like i'd be dead if supermarkets, vending machines, and air conditioners disappeared.
What if we sent some torpedo to Venus that somehow magically scooped all the atmosphere off. Here's my question: Would it come back on its own, or would it be gone forever?

See, now, I'd go in the other direction. Let's say I found an office broadcasting with an X10 camera that was monitoring an empty executives's office.
I'd grab some footage, go home, set up my place to look the same way, invite some interesting people over, do some interesting things, and then go back to outside the office, and broadcast MY signal at 10 times the power, overriding the original one and have my image be the one that gets recorded.
I'd know it works when I read about it in the papers the next day...
I have to wonder whether living in the USA would be more enjoyable if everyone was earning closer to the same -- In our overall lower-middle classness, would we not learn to enjoy whatever there is besides the excess, and the lavish? Such questions are alarmist to some people, silly to others.
There will always be those who find their niche and exploit it to the top. I admire those people -- getting a good idea, executing it in the right place and time and making a fortune off it. But I get a little vocal when the prospect of a future of coffee house sized wages be nothing but bleak. the USA isnt great cause we're the richest, it's great cause it's the most free. And if someone comes up with a better, freer country, then I'll just move there! (only, not -- i'm horrified of change just like everyone else. i was just saying all this to make a contrary point)

That's why I love seeing someone trying Linux for the first time using something like twm instead of KDE or Gnome! It's hilarious!
That's the attitude that's going to make us fail at this whole "linux advocacy" thing we've been working on for a decade.. *sigh*

hey, win/win... you're either keeping a hacker off the net, or cleaning the streets...

whoa no way!
you're allowed to solicit the next highest bidders down if the top one flakes out. one of those people was serious at least, i bet.
Yeah but would it undo the cootie spray she put on just prior for protection?
I can have my cake and eat it too.

Of course the monitor weighs 60 pounds
So, you can have your cake, eat your cake, but you can't pass your cake.
What about macintosh files and their "resource forks"?

Nah, the parent is right, the FCC does limit.
