Laubach stated that "basic IP dialtone" -- that is, a simple TCP/IP Internet connection without frills or bundled services -- should be a consumer right
Wow, a basic consumer right? That is an absurd statement, and it is typical of the techno-elite that frequent these conferences .
You don't see 'unbundled' newspapers being a basic consumer right, or magazines, or even TV shows. If you want to watch TV 'unfettered', you still have to watch the ads that the network wants you to see.
In addition to stomping out competitive desire amongst those providing us with bandwidth, this would harm innovation. If I had a cool new technology that I wanted to offer my customers, but it couldn't be adapted to pure, unfettered IP, I would be prevented from offering it over my pipes.
Would we re-write the laws to include IPV6? Okay, let's say that we do. Can you imagine the level of control this would give the government over the development of IPV7? If the protocol doesn't satisfy their desires for tapping, tracing, tracking, etc. it couldn't be used...
You can do it cheaper and easier than that - redirection services run about $20/year including registration, allowing you to forgo the server _and_ NSI...
There are thousands of uncounted browsers in counties all over Florida. How can we teach our children the importance of choosing a browser while we arbitrarily refuse to count some of them? Every Browser Must Be Counted!!!
Rival Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) already has chips on the market that consume about the same amount of power -- roughly 1 watt -- as the Transmeta chip, which is aimed at mobile computing and other wireless, handheld devices requiring long battery life.
Sheesh, we all know that they're talking about the SA, but this seems like it was written to make Joe User think that Intel's x86 chips run that light...
The concept of applying borders to a massively globalized network is next to impossible at this point, however we will continue to see these sorts of demands from various countries as the internet becomes more pervasive outside the U.S.
Unless every government in the world wakes up and starts thinking like us soon, one of two things is going to have to happen:
1) Very accurate seographic source/destination verification will either become commonplace, or
2) National firewalls, with the support of a country's tier 1 ISPs.
Obviously neither one of these is a very attractive option, nor would either be very efficient, effective, or easy to do.
The next issue we run in to are services such as zero knowledge, open proxies, or any open multi-point browsing method that would circumvent one of the above. Would a sufficiently worried government outlaw the use of these services? They obviously can't regulate their usage, because, well, that's the point of anonymous browsing services.
Hmmph, kinda makes me gald to be living in the US - even if we can't elect a president (ever wonder if we'd run better without one?)...
Gaming is the most CPU intensive work that ~90% of CPUs ever do. Would you have them test with weather simluations, aerodynamic analysis, and PERL scripts? Most people never do anything more than E-mail, word processing, and yes - games.
This is only going to be a problem for Intel in the short term. They've designed this CPU to scale to ~3GHZ, and at that speed the misprediction will be less of a problem. Intel has a long history of making tradeoffs between current performance, and long term scalability.
Basically all they did was put a time limit on the purchase of the regular version. It will take M$ a few more years to get to the.NET level, where the application is delivered over the Internet. Personally, I like this model more than the.NET model, I still get a CD, control over how/when/where it's installed, and no questionable off-line support.
for judges at the highest level to have more than even a passing understanding of technology. This is a generational thing, and unfortunately we can only wait it out....
I've done plenty of these, and the trick is to use the blade as little as possible. Nick the cable between the wires, then just pull them apart. You must absolutely, positively, not try to cut the entire length of the cable, you'll never get it without screwing up. It shouldn't take any more than 5 minutes for this little procedure.
If you're asking questions like this, your company probably isn't ready for GPL'ing your work. Here's the deal, if your competitors use (umm that'd be 'steal' in your parlance) your DTD, their suppliers/vendors/partners will like y do so too. How many of these suppliers/vendors/partners do you have in common with your competitors? I think you can smell what I stepped in here...
The whole purpose behind GPL'ing something should be to encourage/enable it's use (spare me the ethical/moral lectures please, I'm talking in practical terms here) by others, be they friend or foe. In the long run, the more companies that use your DTD, the fewer you'll have to write custom code for.
The only people who stand to benefit from new TLDs are the registrars. New TLDs will force companies to resgister their brand name under all of them in order to protect it. Do you seriously think that Disney would allow www.disney.xxx to exist (or any other company for that matter)? Of course not, it will have to register it to protect it, funnelling $$ into the pockets of NSI and their ilk...
That gives me a great idea! For my next project, I'm going to summarize every/. story and post from the last year in 1D text, no more of this boring 2D stuff I've been using. Here we go!

Not bad, eh? sorry to take up so much bandwidth...
I hate to say this, but IMHO we need paper ballots at some level, so here's what I propose. Vote with a nice pretty touch screen, confirm your votes, and bam - electro gee whizzery does it's thing. A paper ballot is ALSO printed out, which is stored in a ballot box for manual counting _IF NEEDED_ after the election.
I'm sorry, but when did acccessing the Internet become a 'basic right'? That's as silly as saying that cable TV, cellular phones, and Britney Spears CDs are 'basic rights'.
The TiVo relies on very low-level file and partition formats on local hard drives, there is curerntly no way to add remote storage, even with network connectivity. You can't just NFS mount/mnt/tivo and tell it to save the files there, as it doesn't use high-level file formatting. Until someone writes a shim to re-direct the low level calls (which will require a complete reverse-engineering of the filesystem), and figures out a way to guarantee data throughput over ethernet, remote storage won't be a reality..
I've read all I can get my hands on, and it seems as if the only things lacking are facts. Claims abound, but I have yet to see any real-world facts. Flannigan's original article listed about a dozen bugs which he claims will end the world, and the retorts claim that nobody will ever notice them. Perhaps someone here would care to give an impartial opinion?
Well, aside from bypassing a tariff, I can see another reason for Sony doing this. They want the PS2 to become the center of your wired universe. Programmability is an important piece of the home automation and home networking that Sony sees their box being capable of.

Uhh, that little plan would work better if you actually had a link in your .sig ......

First their bandwidth gets shopped, now we /. the continent. Sooner or later those aussies are gonna get ticked...
Yeah, the difference is about $1200....
but the PII started out at 233MHz, not 120...

Maybe we could finally get a useful tcpdump clone on a Win platform!
