or 'is it ethical to do a bandwidth swap to increase our numbers?' if you do, you're artificially inflating your numbers, though not actively harming anything, if you don't, then your numbers will be significantly less favorable than all of your competitors, and your company will likely go out of business because of your honesty.
ethics really aren't black and white, except in the most basic of situations, don't pretend that they are.
Pretty much everyone can agree whether an action or practice is ethical or not.
Clearly, you've never taken an ethics class, or watched the news. Is it ethical for the United States to invade Iraq in order to overthrow the government? Is it ethical for a woman to purposefully terminate a pregnancy? How about euthenasia?
How to best resolve a conflict of duties, when a duty of beneficience would interfere with a duty of fidelity?
Not only is there little agreement between various people about the ethics of many actions, it's often difficult for a single party to understand the interactions fully, in order to make the most ethical decision.
Smart people are going to be running iSCSI on a seperate network anyway, so what does it matter?
Every facility I've worked in for the past 5 years has had a seperate network for backup, why wouldn't they all do the same for storage, if iSCSI becomes a positive value proposition?
The DirectTiVo does a D/A conversion of the signal coming from the receiver, then a A/D conversion to store the picture on the hard disk. Sure that lets you select different quality levels, but with the size of drives these days...
Nope, DirecTiVo records the stream directly, with no quality options at all. The only way to have what you're describing happen is if you have a seperate DirecTV receiver and TiVo.
I fully agree, there's no reason to have valid contact data for your domains, as long as you pay your bill. There are numerous reasons why a person would not want to be listed, and those should be honored.
All my domains are registered with false contact information, with the exception of the email addresses, which are tagged, but valid. Can anybody tell me why this is a problem?
None of my phones are listed in a phone book, why should my whois data be forced to be any less private?
If you want an answer, you're going to need to hire a lawyer. Asking Slashdot will certainly give you a wide variety of unfounded opinions, and baseless conclusions, but it won't actually be useful. At all.
Besides, would you really want to take legal advice from a group of people who are known to mistake duct tape and baling wire for building materials?
congratulations on redefining the term 'cheap bastard'
you'll probably whine and complain that you don't know why directv disconnected you when they realize that you're actually doing that. if you want the movie channels, pay for them, you cheap-ass motherfucker.
at the very least, i'd suggest that they should update the DirecTiVo code such that when you unsubscribe to a channel, that all programming from that channel gets deleted.
The Constitution is nothing more than a document to be worked around. These days, it gets about as much respect as Carrot Top.
According to the Constitution, Congress has the power to declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water, yet White House Lawyers think otherwise, claiming that the president has the right to launch military strikes on Iraq without the approval of Congress.
The scariest part of that ad campaign, is that there are people who didn't realize that it's bullshit. Last I checked my D isn't a terrorist, and most of the weed that comes around is grown locally.
Yes, it's cheaper to build your own than to buy a well-integrated, well-tested PC, that has a guaranteed product support life (mac or PC). If you want a relevant comparison, you'd really need to compare the iMac to something from the Dell Optiplex line.
1GB Ram
40 Gig HD
DVD-ROM/CD-RW
15" flat screen
Dell's price: $2041.00, or about $300 more than the iMac.
If you want to deal with all the incompatibilities that exist between various pieces of hardware and their drivers, then yes, you can build a system on the cheap. If you want to buy something that will Just Work(tm), and will continue to do so for at least 3 or 4 years, Apples are a good deal.
Okay, maybe I'm just a complete and total idiot, but I didn't see anything about working piemenus for mozilla on that page. I saw piemenus for IE, and some ideas for plans for piemenus for mozilla, but no actual mozilla piemenuing code.
Is it just in the concept page, or can somebody point me at actual code?
I'm pretty sure that if anybody actually started receiving spam on their cell phones, they'd get pissed as hell. Definitely not my idea of an effective marketing strategy.
Wow, what a surprise. Video cards being built on ultra-thin margins are only being designed for the use that 99.99% of the population wants to use them for. You'd think with their huge 4% and 5% profits they'd add in lots of features that only a very few people want, just in case!
Indeed, far more people will read of the passing of TPJ than ever subscribed to it. At the end of the year 2001, The Perl Journal had a circulation of 16,000 including newsstands.
Both enlisted members of the citizenry to spy on their neighbors. see http://citizencorps.gov/tips.html
You probably have a problem with Neighborhood Watch too, right?
There's a world of difference between an organization which attempts to stop crimes in progress and an organization which collects information on suspicious behaviours which may or may not be related to any future crime.
I find it incredibly frightening that so many seemingly intelligent people can't tell the difference between TIPS and a Neighborhood Watch.

read the source of the page, elgoog doesn't just make dir=rtl, it actually changes everything server side.

Any ideas where I could find this open source app?

Even better, Cricket. It has a much saner config than MRTG, especially if you start monitoring more than one or two routers.

Now if only there were an alternative.

You want a great laugh? Check out these CD tweaks.
You should really rewrite your trolls, so that they're not so memorable. It's a good troll, but you're overusing it.

In summary, who the fuck cares?
