To make it worse, 10.0.0.0/8 is reserved for private use.. which means it's in ACTIVE use by tons of private networks all over, which makes it wholly unsuitable for a shadow internet. A far better choice would have been to simply hijack a/8 that's still unassigned.
They would have honestly been better off just using a big chunk of currenly unassigned IANA space... because like it or not, 10.0.0.0 is private space, and actually in use in some form or another all over the place in corporate and personal networks.
If you are running a business some day, and it's doing well, and you are growing, some of your business practices can suddenly become ILLEGAL just because you got too big, and the line is fuzzy. Look at it that way.
Someone recently pointed out to me that before Apple released iTunes, there was some nice commercial mp3 organizing software for the mac. Then, one day, apple bought some software and turned it into iTunes, killing off the market for mp3 software on the mac. This is exactly the same as the IE/Netscape situation, and apple shares the same monopolistic position in the apple market as MS does in the windows market. Should we be bitching about Apple too?

MythTV 0.17 Released

The one I built for my parents works great, they have no problem using it in their living room and showing it off to their friends.
They use it to watch tv, watch divx that I upload to them, look at photos, etc.
So.. setting up mythtv in the first place is NOT for john Q.. it's a bit complex. Once it it configured, however, it runs pretty much flawlessly.
If the chips didn't read properly, all it would warrant is a closer look by some higher up staff, and you can be sure that if there was nothing fishy going on, the casino would happily pay you and likely comp you for the inconvenience.
At a guess, it's because he has a laptop, and there are some defaultl maintenance cronjobs on osx that will only run if the machine happens to be on at the appropriate time.
This means that for laptop users, often daily weekly and monthly cron tasks are sometimes not run for quite some time, degrading system performance.
Most of those poeple would be HAPPY to sit in an office that is likely simple, but air-conditioned, and they likely work reasonable working hours. In fact, they probably even get paid overtime if they choose to work it.
Hiring 3rd world labour is relatively cheap, it doesn't have to be a sweatshop to be profitable.
Every cable net provider in Canada has an unofficial cap. Rather than come out and say there is a hard cap, they just send nasty letters to anyone who uses far more than the average, and then cut them off if they don't stop. This keeps up the image of "unlimited use" without actually providing it.
The effect I just described has been experimentally verified countless times, and is used in practice daily, it's not just some theory.
When people speak of Einstein's theory of relativity as not being correct, they don't mean "none of it is true, it's bullshit" What they mean is that there are certain specific points we have found that the theory doesn't explain correctly (for instance, quantum stuff) just as newton was not incorrect. Any new theory has to account for everything einstein observed.
Now we are into splitting hairs. Speaking of "normal" and "relatavistic" speeds is a normal way to express things.
Technically you cannot add any velocities, true, but the error introduced by doing so is much smaller than the normal error factor in even very precise scientific measurements.. so for all practical purposes, it's irrelevant.
I thought Hawking Radiation was about virtual particle pairs that pop into existence straddling the event horizon, causing one to fall in, and one to escape? Or is that just another way of looking at the same thing.
IT doens't work that way. The speed of that laser will appear the same to any observer anywhere. The only thing that will changes is the observed wavelength.
Speed does exist, just not absolutely, it will always be percieved differently by different observers (except for the speed of light.)
a) such players are not illegal in and of themselves
b) Everyone else is making them, and sony should have been interested in maintaining it's status at the top of portable music (walkman, discman). Instead, they waffled, and lost the battle.
And what's wrong with that, really? If the Cosmonaut wants to pilot a few ten billions of dollars of state hardware, they were right to ensure that he would return it. It's not his to take to the west in the first place.
- Better ejection technologies (can the shuttle crew eject on the takeoff platform if they think things are going south?)
- More reliable, simpler designs. (What the US achieves with multiple backup systems and tons of high-tech engineering, the russians achieved with much more testing to find a design that was inherently reliable. eg: soyuz, mir)
- As you said, Gagarin was the first man in space. It's not like the US space program, even decades after this, doesn't still have it's share of carnage and destruction.
It's fairly easy to say "No road in America has a speed limit of over 110mph, so we expect all cars to have 120mph speed limiters."
It's fairly easy. IT doesn't infringe on any legal use of the vehicle. Presumably if you want to hit the racetrack, you can modify the car legally.
With file transfer applications, it's far more compliated. To make an application taht can't break the law is like making a gun that can't break the law. How am I, the developer, supposed to have the application figure out if the works are copyrighted, if the alleged use of the work falls under fair-use, or if the owner in fact has the legal right to do what he's doing? I can't. DRM wants to bring this, but it also screws up a bunch of other parts of copyright, so it's no good either, at least no system we've seen yet.
Keep this in mind too: PCs were deliberately and explicity excluded from the audio home recording act because congress did not want to stifle innovation in such a young field. WE are still really young.

Do you think casinos are that simplistic?

OH really.
Well, I like my locate database up to date, thanks. I use it a lot.
I also like my logs in some semblance of order.
Perhaps you are using too narrow a definition of system performance?

Now, all Google has to do is blacklist anything related to the people who sued it, and they will cease to exists on the interenet as we know it.
LEt's compare consumer price index as well, though, shall we? Or at least average salaries in the area.
How does the price of broadband compare to the average working person's disposable income?

The universe is stranger than you think.
Actually that's a perfectly valid way to express what the graph looks like. C is a limit. As the speed approaches C, the mass approaches infinity.
Do you have a better way to describe this graph?
You'll find that something going faster would be going backwards in time. How would that look to us, as we are going forwards? (antimatter, anyone?)
You are ignoring time dilation, and that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
You cannot add relativistic velocities directly, it doesn't work.
That's irrelevant. It's all completely releative. There is no such thing as absolute position or absolute motion.
.999c. The end result is the same.
We could also say that a force slowed it down relative to us by
Yes. Why?
Because:
a) such players are not illegal in and of themselves
b) Everyone else is making them, and sony should have been interested in maintaining it's status at the top of portable music (walkman, discman). Instead, they waffled, and lost the battle.

They soviets have:

- More reliable, simpler designs. (What the US achieves with multiple backup systems and tons of high-tech engineering, the russians achieved with much more testing to find a design that was inherently reliable. eg: soyuz, mir)

No, it's quite a bit different.

I'm confused.. are you talking about Puerto Rico, or Costa Rica
