I remember contacting that company about their system, and specifically asked about open source. I talked to some guy who was the sales manager for my area, and he seemed to get angry that I was asking for open source. I think that company was doomed by bad management.
Config-based does not mean sequential or non-sequential. It only means whatever is configured can be changed. What is needed to improve iptables and the like is optimizations like smart address lookup tables. This is actually doable in ways that have been around longer than patent periods but it is not iptables compatible.
This has nothing to do with running a server. It's all about bandwidth and nothing but bandwidth. They are giving you gigabit as a PEAK capability, not as a continuous rate. What they should do is specify the limits of their service in those terms like the maximum amount of data you can transfer in one second, one minute, one hour, one day, etc.
The reality is, most people will be downloading. That means most of the usage is in one direction. They will have plenty of capacity in the other direction.
So tell me what database software can run on multiple machines spread around the country, not lose any working data if any two locations go down at once (nor any resting data if 3/4 of the sites vaporize, so going to backups would not be needed for this), and handle 1000000 transactions per hour, and stay up 604800 seconds a week (continuously) despite plenty of backups. Once we have that, the rest will be easy, and can support older browsers and smaller PCs that poor people have... HTML 3.2 FTW!
... to not put any software or firmware on it at all. That way people just hire the kid down the street to load free software on it (or do it yourself).
The stupid site won't even give real information until after you sign up. I don't want to give them sign-up info unless I decide to actually sign-up. But I cannot get the info to make that decision with.
... at least... to get it designed right. That's because they need to throw away everything they have done so far and start over. They need to actually build the site rather than try to mish-mash a bunch of separate web products.
Aereo leases you an antenna. They also provide you with an encrypted data feed to your antenna. As long as it is your free right to receive signals from an antenna, this is legal. And they encrypt the signal to be sure no one has tapped onto your antenna to copy the content you are receiving legally.
They are leasing you an antenna. They are connecting YOU to YOUR antenna, and doing so in a way that prevents thieves on the internet from stealing the contents so that you and only you get that signal.
Content owners that make their DRM not work for me (a Linux user) cannot consider me in their market. Therefore they would LOSE NOTHING if I crack the DRM and access their content privately.
Rather than a foldable display, I'd rather have a display that can simple be pulled to a larger size or pushed to a smaller size (small enough to hide). This will, of course, require some much more innovative technology. But I think we will have it by 2050.
More likely the hacker took over someone's desktop machine that was running exploitable software, and was inside the network. Now they can get to file servers, source repository, etc., as soon as the person who had that desktop signs in to those servers. They probably also took over some other desktops used by people without that access. But they just keep trying and eventually get lucky. I'm sure a lot of people there were using exploitable software.
Slashdot Mirror
... Anonymous Coward. There are some very suspicious posts he makes. And besides, he seems to never sleep.
OK ... let's start a campaign to NOT buy USB. But we need something. Let's make our own replacement.
And I want to know your Slashdot nickname, too. I suspect YOU are concealing something. Oh wait.
If doctors get measured by success in this way, then they will be inclined to avoid the more risky patients.

One of the company executives actually came in to work one day.

No one has their own country anymore. They can't even get all the white people out of South Africa.

Send them to me. Please include the power supply.
We cannot allow innovation to improve our connectors. Back to USB.

The business model is leasing an antenna to a consumer, and providing the connection. They don't like the fact that this is legal.
I'd like to have this kind of service, but not for TV.

So, does this mean it is time to fork W3C and have a more meaningful standards organization?

You mean treat the car as a peripheral device?
