speaking solely as devil's advocate here, why would such technologies be built into most routers if it's not supposed to be used?
why stateful inspection if you shouldn't use it?
here's MY point, traffic management should never be a "business decision" It should be left entirely unto an experienced admin who knows how and why to manage traffic.
Comcast is "managing" traffic it shouldn't be managing. I pay my comcast bill every month for the service. I use my cable modem for downloading stuff. Comcast tries to block and slow my traffic. That isn't right. I pay my bill.
Comcast gambled on not everyone using their bandwidth and lost sorely.
I don't believe it's right to let them "manage" traffic because we're using the bandwidth that they are contracted for.
They offered a certain speed. They offered unlimited usage.
Why do they just get to change their mind? Where's the risk in that for them?
This is something that could really set copyright ahead in the right direction. This is what copyright is all about. This one idea is at the essence of copyright.

Yep, a doorknocking mormon. You know mormons, the people who believe jesus appeared in the midwest in the 1800's and gave some dude gold tokens. The same folks who knock on your door and try to talk you into becoming one of them.
I haven't taken anything you've said personally. I've heard some of your music. You're decent. I always tend to be a bit skeptical of guitar players though because 90% of them can't read a bar of music. I know and have played with some phenomenal guitar players. You seem to be good. Good composer too. That doesn't change the fact that your argument is somewhat flawed. I, being a skilled and trained musician, chose to record a bunch of nonsense for experimentation's sake. As our tools evolve, music good or bad becomes easier to put together. I personally hate when someone who can't even spell sforzando throws together a pop or hip-hop tune using someone elses music. You can call me snobby, but I use loops for some of my things as well. It seems less like crap when I do it though. I do it for speed. Others do it because they have no alternative.
I know most of you don't realize it, but the NSA has had monitoring capabilities in all computers since windows 95.
Microsoft gave them free reign to windows.
Don't think that Linux is left out. Do you think the NSA would generously donate the code for SELinux? It's a trade for priority placement in the kernel.
The NSA knows what they're doing. The real problem is, they're being tasked with things that violate their mandate. They had one rule: Don't spy on Americans.
The NSA is to thank for all sorts of cool technology we have now. Where do you think RFID tags came from?
I say stick to your rule, keep us safe, and give us more of your cool spy-tech.
For those who have wondered, the CIA doesn't require government money anymore. They have their own investments and hedge-funds. They never lose money. Which is how they can afford to overthrow governments and alter the course of history.
It's funny, the CIA is supposed to be the Central Intelligence Agency. They are supposed to be responsible for the 5 W's. Interestingly enough, it's the NSA which handles most of that now. The CIA does mostly HumInt and blackops these days.
Rest assured knowing that there are powerful men indeed at the reigns of these agencies. Not necessarily those appointed by sitting presidents. This is where our "shadow government" really sits. The military industrial complex is firmly embedded with these agencies. Eisenhower was right. America stopped being democratic in the mid-60's.
I disagree. Commodity isn't really such a great word to describe music. Granted you can get it anywhere now, but it's that fact which transcends the definition of commodity. As a function of culture, music serves to entertain and teach us. We share music with others so that we may share our culture. In the past 10 years, music has become not just something consumed, but created by those who consume it. Yes, it loses qualitative differentiation in its supply chain. It's much more than that. The supply chain model is poorly suited to this example. Music in the traditional supply chain, the industry, require capital to produce. People need to be paid, marketing paid, etc. With the supply chain melting from the resource market into the hands of the consumers, the industry is disintegrating. The industry itself is no longer necessary. While it serves its purpose for those looking specifically for what it provides, the product on a whole can be had anywhere for free now. Music is everywhere. You can even sing to yourself without paying for it. This floodgate having opened, is the primary causation of the music industry's defensive assault on the very consumers which give the industry life.
Any other commodity still requires a supply chain from a capable producer or manufacturer. There needs to be an industry present to provide the commodity. Coal needs to be mined. It needs to be shipped and sold. To apply music's model, people who needed or wanted coal would be mining their own coal at no cost other than the equipment. Music can be had anywhere. I can be created by anyone. It is infinite and renewable. It is ever-changing. It is the ever-flowing lubricant of human culture. Try to bottle and sell it.
I completely agree. I've recorded and synthesized a few albums at home. I am a real musician. I read and write music on paper. With the advent of fruity loops, the kid down the street who couldn't a forte from fort knox, can now "create" music. They aren't really creating music. It's just re-arranging music that a professional already created.
And the ignorance that comes with their "instant hot trax". I get annoyed when someone thinks they've created music by arranging loops on a grid tries to denigrate my music. There's a difference between pushing some buttons and recording live jazz improvisation.
Now on the other hand, there's a huge difference between recording experimental albums, which I've done and arranging pre-made loops on a grid. Knowing what sounds good and making what sounds good are two different things.
Unfortunately, Mr. AC you left no clues as to who you are or what your music sounds like, so we can't make any judgement calls as to the truth of your statements.
My music is all on my site http://www.binarybeats.com/ in three albums. The first is my experimental album. Most won't like it. It is, however an example of someone recording "any nonsense". The problem with your argument lies in my training and background. I'm a trained jazz and classical musician. I chose to record certain nonsense for the sake of experimentation.

They were cool-looking like 5 years ago when everyone had beige boxen.
My cases have been lian-li since 2000 and I haven't looked back.
A lot of people are going to say a lot of things about this subject.
They're all morons.
Here's the truth: The less control the creative staff have, the less successful the industry will eventually become.
People won't continue to buy shit games.

Don't you need life to have organic material in order to have hydrocarbons?

I whole-heartedly agree with you.
Comcast is unlikely to get shut out though any time soon.
They just have too much infrastructure and too many subscribers.
so if we actively seek to harm their business, can we be sued?
On a grass roots level, I think it would be difficult at best.
This is the buzzkill for me.
Billie Holiday was a blues singer.
she didn't improvise, so technically it's not jazz.
The point, however, is taken. the industry wishes they could treat artists like the hired help.
socom is in miami. Military internet connections don't rely on commercial backbones. They have their own fiber networks.
tampa and everything south of it including miami is routed through the backbones running through orlando to atlanta.
We're talking about backbones here. The occasional router doesn't qualify as a backbone.
My best guess about the blackout of Florida was that some half-assed Internet company had a router go out.
Florida doesn't use undersea cables.
It's a peninsula attached to the rest of the country.
It is most definitely NOT disconnected.
I live in Miami. I'm posting this just fine.
