If these ECN negotiation packets are rejected and discarded by certain older routers, then why can't the kernel detect this and fall back to non-ECN packets during subsequent transmissions with that particular host ? ECN is obviously not essential so why must the connection fail if this optional feature is not available ?
It's like being unable to start a car because you're not wearing sunglasses; sure the glasses would help reduce glare and let you see better, but they're still optional.
It's quite commendable that you hold up to your ideals so firmly. Sex and violence are bad so stay away, that way you won't breed and you won't be able to defend yourself when someone comes to kick your pansy ass and make you the next Goatse.cx guy.
The ESRB rating has very little to do with the targeted audience. The problem is that the N64 has few games that are made for older players who want their brain to work up a sweat. The latest Zelda might be well done in most aspects, but it's still easy enough for a young'um to play and beat, which means it's too easy to keep any serious RPG'er interested for very long. That's why the N64 is consistently labeled as a kid's console, and that's why mostly kids play N64.
The US spends more on aid, and takes more refugees and immigrants than most of the developed world combined. It also is exceedingly rich.
Exceedingly rich ? hell yes. Why ? Because it's scroogey! Just browse through any economical dissertation about US vs Canada, and you'll find everywhere that USians are jealous of our health system. Nowhere else in the world can you just pop in a common hospital and receive treatment without even putting forth a penny. Sure, we all end up paying for it in our taxes, but it ensures that all are treated according to their needs, not their wallets. Above all, Canada caters to humanity, not economy (obviously : we're in the red).
We have "safety laws", such as being obligated to insure any motor vehicle before putting it on the road. No matter who rear-ends you in the traffic, be it a BMW yuppie or a smelly loser in a beat-up chevy, you've got the peace of mind that his insurance will pay your repairs. Sure, we all hate being forced into it, but we sure are grateful when we reap the benefits.
Now to get back to my original intention, which is to blast the redneck out of you. Canada is the most immigrant-friendly country, period. We have the highest immigration rate per capita, and to complement that, the lowest number of hate-related and race-related crimes in north america. The numbers speak for themselves, but so do the people. Working with the Passport Office, I think my claims have credible foundations.
Yeah we even take Americans. Go ahead, try and beat that.
It just strikes me as a treacherous move by Intel. It only shows how greedy they are since they can still afford to sell their chips at half price. What the hell kind of profit margin is that ? They make the RIAA look like angels. They still love to lock people into their latest designs. The concept of upgrading a CPU has flown out the window, instead they come up with a new, slightly modified motherboard for every new revision of the CPU. Just think of FC-PGA versus the old Socket 370; same pin layout, they just reversed a few pairs to make it incompatible. Intel has always been the Microsoft of hardware, and they're resorting to suicide tactics in order to retain their grip on the market by any means necessary.
Typical Windows boot (narrated by Tron's Master Control Program) :
MCP: Hello Operating system. Please identify yourself.
OS: Good afternoon MCP, my name is "Bill".
MCP: Greetings Bill. You may execute.
Typical Linux boot:
MCP: Hello Operating system. Please identify yourself.
OS: glibc ownz j00. Pheer the kernel!
MCP: Greetings intruder. You may go to hell. (system shutdown)
In such a situation, your only hope is to contact the Better Business Bureau to find out about other possible incidents. You could perhaps start a group lawsuit against this thieving company.
Simple : Macs are unknown to these ignorant techs. For any PC they can install Windoze 2000 and lock everything down so that you need to make a service request to drag icons across your desktop. On a Mac there is no such thing as workstation security, you do whatever you want with it, and lots of pointy-headed IT directors don't like that lack of control.
the California- based Marital and Sexuality Centre found that 75 per cent of those who enjoy adult Internet sites don't tell anyone about it.
This just wouldn't go past my bullshit filter. How can they know that 75% of pr0n surfers don't tell anyone about it, if they don't tell anyone about it ? If I say "No, I don't do xyzzy" then they can't turn around and say "Of all those who said No, we have found that 75% are liars."
Retarded reporting if I may say so myself, but of course most commercial survey firms are retarded. Fun.
Although I do respect this guy's dedication for his cause (which sets a good precedent), I can't help but wonder why he didn't just steal the domain back when he found it had been swindled ? Sure, fighting crime with crime isn't everyone's idea of justice, but it would have fixed the problem quickly and he would have been making money for all these years instead of spending it in court where nobody really wins except the lawyers.
True, but what's more expensive : a faster cpu, or more bandwidth/storage ? To this day, it's still the CPU. What's 80 megs these days anyways ? Burn it off to a cd, then you get infinite storage.
10 years is more than enough, most businesses focusing on data warehousing eventually go belly up when the CEO learns that it's a useless venture suited only for governments.
Simple solution : don't support Quicktime. There's nothing I hate more than looking for movie trailers and all I can find is Quicktime. Their codec is horrendously slow, heck over two years ago it took a P3-450 to play the friggin Star Wars trailer in full quality when just about any other movie would play fine on a 166mhz box. It's still slow, it still has a very ugly and illogical interface (thank you, Steve Jobs), and of course they have a serious problem with linux support, even though they're going full-on with OS X. Fuck em, hard.
How can someone trademark "Open" and "GL" separately, then sue the pants off of everyone else ? GL could stand for Graphics Library, Good Luck, Generic Luser, Gargantual Lemur, or Greasy Laws. "Open" is just a word. A word is a word is a word. OpenAL is totally outside of SGI's field of work and can't hardly be confused with OpenGL's functionality. OpenIL might be a little touchier since it deals with imaging, but still must we let these corporations trample all over our rights as creators and artists, only justified by the fact that "lots of rich people are too dumb to tell the difference". That's a damn weak defense if anyone cared to ask me.
IANAL, definitely, but does SGI's claim hold any water in court ? Next we'll see Microsoft suing medical orgs worldwide for referring to Multiple Sclerosis as MS. Just don't make sense.
Open Source renders software immortal since it immediately becomes duplicated around the world with no central ownership that's susceptible to failure and bankruptcy. Nobody (or everybody) owns open source software so it can't be taken away and buried, just like the air we breathe.
If there's a Java AIM that still works, it's quite likely that it doesn't have any means to respond to the md5sum check, so how does it work ? Did anyone bother decompiling the Java client and figuring out how it does its magic ?
In canada, the two fat cable providers (Rogers and Videotron) are typically rather fast, it's their support staff that's slow. I frequently get 350KB/sec (bytes, not bits) and in many cases it's even faster than the T1 at my workplace (for the same data, mind you). The downside is that I have only 128kbit upload (fsck!!!) and the tech support people really need a cluestick shoved up their collective asses. But otherwise it's pretty decent for 40$ CDN including taxes (which is about 25$ U.S. by now). Lots of people switch over to cable from dialup because it's cheaper when you factor in the cost of the extra phone line. The government is even paying part of the bill for homes with children, which means more ignorant fools posting meept on/. ah well, can't have everything.
That has to do with every single site out there using nested tables to do their layout. It also has to do with the placement of the ad. It's the first thing up on top, which means it'll be the first thing to take a hike when you start scrolling down to read your page. If the content were to finish loading before the ad, then your eyes would never see it since you'd already be down low on the page before the ad ever got displayed. It's just a natural side-effect of HTML parsing and probably a bit of javascript.

Of course, eventually the only people with ops will be those 12 yr old lurkers who have just discovered l33t-speak and like to kick just for "kicks"

Why oh why can't quicktime die?
Because Steve Jobs is even more stubborn than Bill. The real question should be : Why oh why can't Apple die?

Aww.. self-lovers don't like DSL because most ISP's don't offer the 300kb/sec needed to play fullscreen fast-motion pr0n ? boo-hoo.
