Finally, some have claimed that the glue on the sticky labels might affect the longevity of the dye in the disc, presumably by leaching through the thin top coating of polymer. Search for "glue" in that story, it's half way down or so.
btw. after a very long wait, this just finished. i have not tried booting it, but wget said it successfully downloaded all of it from the URL specified in this/. article.
and there will be many new bugs introduced. all that effort in spent in eliminating bugs in the existing code based - wasted. throwing away mature code is a big mistake. refactor and refine. dont re-write.
since you are proposing enabling authentication, why bother with moving the server to a new port? just implement authentication (required to relay email, any email that results in local delivery needs no auth). use the starttls protocol to encrypt just the authentication portions of the transaction for security. then you save yourself the hassel of setting up a special smtp listener on another port.
the problem with your proposal is that you need to mimic another protocol enough to fool the shaper, but not enough to break the original protocol you started with (in kazaa's case, FastTrack). easier said than done. and 'layer 7' isnt marketing bs, if you inspect into the application then the term is justified.
no, the pktr box is layer 7 aware. it doesn't care about the port a protocol is running on. it can recognize that the traffic is application XYZ regardless and shape it.
jees, they make it sound like carmack invented smooth scrolling. that same technique was used on commodore games circa 1986. an interesting read, but they need to tone down the fawning hype.
Several (or more) years ago ABET asked IEEE to look into the feasibility of accrediting Software Engineer programs in the US. IMO, doing that would be the best thing that could happen for the discipline. Google turns up other interesting links on the topic.
".. the key difference is that you pay Ford for an object.. when one purchases licensed software... I cannot make copies and give it to others"
the real differentiator here seems to be the ease of replication. you are arguing essentially that because it is easy to replicate software and give out copies, it should therefor be allowed.
assuming away reality, for the moment, if there were a magic device that you could pull your car into and have exact replicas made at no (or extremely minimal) cost to yourself, should that be permitted? is that right? is it OK for ford to invest millions to develope a new car only to have somebody spew out an infinite number of replicas of it?

i burned this and it boots all the way into X and then the machine (i tried it in 3 different PCs) seems to hang. mouse, etc, unresponsive.

NetPass is an opensource alternative that's rapidly approaching 1.0 status.
Sprint says it's going to do the same thing.
ah. it's just standard /. sensationalistic reporting. i should've realized that.

it's always spoken of in awe, but it's actually one of the big mistakes a software developer can make

what you just described is basically
