Forgot, also the: iptables -I FORWARD 7, where the 7 is actually the rule number in the list of FORWARD rules. The lower the number, the higher the priority of the rule. You may need to have your rule set to a lower number then 7. For me, this is fine as the rules above it do not deal with forwarding rules would not "trump" this rule.
To throttle a torrent, they forge a "I'm dead" packet from remote host, and send it to the customer. This causes the customer's torrent application to shop elsewhere for a feed. The repeated connect-forge disconnect-search-connect process slows the overall transfer. This only works because of the multi-peer technology underlying torrents, and wouldn't work with web browsing or ftp*.
Actually that is not entirely correct. If they were simply forging the RST packet and only sending it to their customer it would be a simply matter of having the customer's firewall filter out all RST packets on specified port that is used for torrent download/uploads. I in fact have such a filter rule in place. However, detailed testing has shown that Comcast is sending the RST packet to BOTH their customer AND the outside connection, not just their own customers. Unless both sides have the RST filter in place on their firewalls, the connections are still dropped and throttled. This is what is going to get them into trouble as they are not just sending forged packets to their customers whom they have it written down in their service agreements somewhere that they can do this to you, but they are also forging YOUR identity and sending those packets to outside entities to affect their service as well, something that those people have NOT agreed to have happen to them.
I don't know what is worse, that I got the joke or that other moderators did as well...
I just hope they make certain the translators only ever see one word each, because we all know what happened last time when they translated it to German...
Seriously here. How can this be more expensive than treating the kids as adults? The kids are in a lower security area (juvie detention), which doesn't cost nearly as much to maintain as similar adult areas. The court costs are less because typically the state will not spend as much money in lab work/analysis/expert witnesses, etc., since they will at most only put the kid away until he/she is 25, and there is normally only just a Judge, no jury, so daily costs for keeping the jury do not exist (food/drink, and if sequestered, housing and transportation). So again, how is this going to cost the state more?
I can see them wasting some money in the short term for cases that are already partially processed having to now be shifted back to juvie and started over, but that is probably only a few hundred cases at most and will be a one time cost... A cost that will be recovered shortly due to the reductions in other areas.
How in the WORLD can it be lighter for the vehicle to land on "terra firma" then in the water? Landing gear, tires, hydrolics, electric motors, brakes, etc., etc., all weight a LOT. Certainly more then 1500 lbs that they are stating for the air bags for a water landing.
... when business takes priority to safety especially at a nuclear reactor. Sounds to me like there is a need for more alternate sites to provide these radio-isotopes to the rest of the world. I bet the places that produce the other 1/3 are making a fortune right now due to supply/demand.
That is precisely what it means.
Then that means that the RIAA should not be able to sue down the chain. They were already paid for those works then by the earlier suit which covered all the other infringement from the case, since all the others "damages" are all being tacked onto the one suit. It is effectively double jeopardy, kind of like a class action suit in reverse. Either they bring individual suits as they have been against individual member of the "class" and sue them individually for their own personal actual damages or they being the entire class as a whole, you don't get it both ways, just as members of a class can opt out and sue individually....
That single song - worth 99 cents on iTunes - may have found its way to 2,000 other PCs.
And they only have proof that it was indexed, not even proof that it made it to ONE other PC. To sue someone and say that the one individual is responsible for all other copies of that file on the internet would then mean that the single person is paying the bill for all those other people who then shared that same file out and others copied from that new location.
The RIAA is saying that because there are say, 50,000 copies (made up number) of that file on the net, this individual is responsible for all them. And they sue to get damages. They also press suits against all those other 50,000 people who have other copies, and sue each of them, again saying they are responsible for 50,000 copies. So, you are saying that the RIAA gets to sue for 50,000 people each for 50,000 copies, for a total of 2,500,000,000 copies, when there are only 50,000 in existence? Use some logic here. As much as I agree that she owes something for infringement, they should be able to collect damages from that person for the damages caused by other people down the chain. That is why you sue the person down the chain for their part. The problem is, the RIAA doesn't have the evidence to show who did what damage, but that problem shouldn't be the dependent's problem. The damages is always a problem for the plaintiff to show and PROVE. They can not PROVE ANY actual infringement, other then a name, an email, a screen name, and an index, but that doesn't prove how many people connected to her computer and downloaded a full copy of a song.
Come on. We all know the curse of the odd number Trek movie. It has happened every time. While the Trek content out there has toned down a bit (there isn't a single active series out there), I still think the movie will suffer the curse of the odd number. I hope that it won't, but I just have this feeling that both the trekies and non-trekies will hate this movie. The trekies will hate it for changing the "universe" for some reason or another, because it is going to be a prequel, and doing that just begs to mess with the cosmic timestream, especially in a sci-fi universe with so much literature, movies, and TV series as Star Trek (this is one of the reasons why trekies didn't like "Enterprise" due to it screwing with the "verse"). The non-trekies will hate it because to them it is just another trekie film...
It's about the Kmart market. They don't exactly get the upper-income bracket as their customers... As previous posters have already stated, You won't sell many Mercedes Benz in the ghetto (although some might get stolen...).
Sorry to be that harsh, but it is the reality that the people shopping at Kmart are shopping there to get the product that is cheap and meets their function, which means HD-DVD for them, because it is cheap and meets their function, overall specs be damned. Sony et. al. blu-ray camp needs to step up their manufacturing to bring down their costs. They also need to start getting some real marketing and PR done and soon. This holiday season may decide the format war. The PS3 helps, but they need to get some games out for that. I myself have only bought 2, and one of them I don't even play because I forgot how much I HATE FPS's on consoles (give me my mouse...).
I will agree a bit to this statement, however, that was before I picked up Metroid Prime 3... Have I been playing the Wii as much as I played other game systems when I got them, no, but I think the reason for that is that I now have a full time job, whereas when I got my last system, I was still in college and had considerably more "free" time. Heck, I havn't even beaten the last Final Fantasy yet (or X:2), and I use to chew thew them in under 2 weeks (and then look for all the hidden stuff, like the true hardest enemy in the game... the final boss is usually a piece of cake compared against the real hardest guy... just look at Ozma in Final Fantasy 9 (oh you didn't find him huh?))....
Anyway, I think another factor is that I have the system out downstairs and not in my own room, and I think a lot of people have it this way as well. It is a better "party" system, and good for company.
And yet again another great game that would be absolutely perfect for the interactive hardware that is the Wii will not be released on it. PC, XBOX360, and PS3 need only apply....
Oh come on. You know that with all the weight of his arm that he can bairly walk, let alone jump. Besides we want to see the arm slinging action, not fancy feet.
I have been a Bungie fan for a LONG time (since Marathon), and loved them back then. And loved them even more for games like Myth: The Fallen Lords series. But ever since MS bought them and brought them into their entertainment division, all other series other then Halo have been simply written off and no new work done on new franchises other then Halo. Basically their A team was told, Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 4, etc., etc. If you finish one of them start working on the next....
Even more then that, give me graphs and benchmarks that actually verify what your conclusions are, or at least prove why you think things are the way they are. For all but one of the graphs Hexsus said that they expect different results due to limitations of the OS. HUH? Wait, this is the first time you have seen the chip, and yet because it benchmarked poorly, you state that it is due to the OS? How do you know? Did you put on a different OS to prove that? How do we know the values in Cinemark will be in the 20k range if a different OS was used when it only did 17k? How do we know floating point results were compromised by the OS? How do we know Pov-Ray will increase as well? The only benchmark that showed the CPU as being faster then the previous CPU was the SiSoftware Sandra processor arithmetic test, and even there only by 3.9% in INTs, and 14% in float.
Exemptions are allowed for 1) the educational library of a university's media studies department, in order to watch film clips in class; 2) using computer software that requires the original disks or hardware in order to run; 3) dongle-protected computer programs, if the the dongle no longer functions and a replacement cannot be found; 4) protected e-books, in order to use screen-reader software; 5) cell phone firmware that ties a phone to a specific wireless network; and 6) DRM software included on audio CDs, but only when such software creates security vulnerabilities on personal computers. This was an exemption introduced last year by the Register of Copyrights. Linky

Look at most HDDVDs, there's usually quite a bit of free space even with extras etc...
Too bad on most of those there wasn't enough room to fit a TrueHD or DD+ audio track and instead a DTS or DD track was used.

No just 9.4% against the British Pound
13.2% against the Canadian Dollar
11.1% against the Euro
Need I go on? A 5.5% raise is still a 4-7% DECREASE in buying power verses the world economy.
