When large files get into the cache in a corrupt form, it's very frustrating for the end user.
As a Starband user, I frequently get corrupted downloads, that are always corrupted in the exact same way, which makes me think it's in an ISP side cache corrupted.
I usually have to get someone else to download the same file from the same site, and put it on their server for me.
"Transparent" caching is just another way to subtly fuck your users to save a little money.
There has to be harm, and usually there has to be some level of negligence.
It varies from state to state, but a rule of thumb is something like : "did the defendent act in a way that a reasonable and prudent person would act"... Other things come into play such as "could the defendant have reasonably prevented the harm", and "did the defendent take all necessary steps to mitigate further harm once they learned of the harm, or potential for harm".
It's a lot of factors, there are probably some I am forgetting. It varies from state to state.
So yeah, you could potentially sue someone for something like what is at hand here.
There doesn't have to be a criminal violation involved, though it generally makes it easier to sue if there was one.
I recommend books from nolo.com, they are very good. They can save lots of money by letting you make smart choices about when to get a lawyer, and help you ask smarted questions if you do get a lawyer.
Mhz is NOT a measure of throughput or performance. It has a very specific definition, Million cycles per second. Don't let them confuse the term and water it down until it is meaningless.
That doesn't preclude bringing action under another title.
Title 17 is ALL of the copyright laws. Including the DMCA, and most of the NET act. The NET act is in 17 and 18, but the parts of NET that are in Title 18 are dependent on a violation of Title 17, so I think if you are immune from violation of title 17, you would be immune from NET Title 18 sanctions.
It is hard to compete with a product that has dozens of man years of engineering time honed by hundred of man years of use and feedback.
The horse and buggy had dozens of man-years of engineering time and hundreds of man years of use and feedback, and yet you don't see those on the road very much any more.
it is stupid to hamstring yourself by using an inferior product
Indeed. Anyone who would hamstring themselves by using proprietary software, or even worse, an ASP which could go out of business at any time and leave you stuck, is very stupid.
Man, those Mac users are whiney bitches. "I'm already on my third laptop because the first one had three dead pixels, and the second one didn't latch just right".
No wonder Macs cost twice as much, they have to pay for all the returns from the users who RMA for petty little crap.
Monitors have huge differences in level of shielding and isolation. I doubt the frequency the monitor runs at matters much, it's two orders of magnitude lower than the cell phone frequency.
LEDs don't save power vs fluorescents though. An 18 watt fluorescent lamp puts out around 1250 lumens. White LEDs only could put out 450 lumens max with the same 18 watts of power, about 25 lumens per watt.
LEDs for lighting only make sense currently when you already have a low voltage DC power system, like in an RV or boat, since a fluorescent bulb transformer would waste some power and make it closer to equal.
Speed? Converting a language like 80386 assember to another low-level instruction set is, as you can imagine, not a healthy thing for code performance. In other words, the performance suck big time.

What about the TCP over TCP avelanche problem that the CIPE guys like to talk about? Is that just something they made up to push CIPE?
The big deal is that it would cause all the religious people to freak out, and they would have to rewrite their religion in a major way. I'm not naive enough to believe it would be the end of religion, they've adapted before in the face of overwhelming evidence that they were wrong.
You can do that, just have to make sure the grounds don't float and are tied together.
As far as powering them up in a sequence, there is no need to do that really, you can just turn on all the power supplies with the same switch. That's a little trickier to do with ATX, but cyberguys sells a adapter to make an ATX power supply act like an AT one with an external switch, and AT style motherboard connector. Or, since you aren't using the motherboard connector, you could just send the power supply the on signal the same way the motherboard does (read the ATX spec).
Most redundant power supply systems are really parallel power supply systems, so if you really need something like 800 watts, just look for a case that can take redundant supplies and put two 400s in, or two 480s, or whatever you can afford.:)
In theory.:) As a recent hardware site review showed, many power supplies burned up at or before their rated power. They didn't review any of the good brands though, so I think you would be OK with one of the big three (enermax, antec, PC power+cooling)
In any case, it is more stressful on the components to surge at startup. It's not really much of an issue for servers that stay on all the time, since they probably go through the spin-up stress less than once a year, if that much.

Even knowing you would be sending the money straight to the RIAA legal department?
Anyone with legal knowledge know if these guys can declare bankruptcy to get out of this debt?
I'm not picking on you only, but it's copyrighted. Just remember that it's about the right to copy a work.

USB2: 480 Mb/sec
Firewire: 400 or 800 Mb/s
SATA150: 1200 Mb/s
SCSI160: 1280 Mb/s
SCSI320: 2560 Mb/s
Need I say more?
Mhz is NOT a measure of throughput or performance. It has a very specific definition, Million cycles per second. Don't let them confuse the term and water it down until it is meaningless.
Yes, but calling it "Mhz" is misleading. That's like saying the PCI bus runs at 1056Mhz because it is 32 lines running at 33Mhz.
We already have enough misleading and confusing computer terms, we don't need to add another one.
You're in a Johnny Cab!

IANAL.
Other than automatically setting up a driver for any random USB device, Red Hat can pretty much do all that, assuming your router runs DHCP properly.

For the sake of science, you aren't very scientific. Red is not both and additive and subtractive primary, that wouldn't make much sense.
The subtractive primaries are Cyan Magenta and Yellow. Red is 100% Yellow with 100% Magenta.
Microsoft has a page about this. Don't ask me why.

I think it was Maxtor or WD that used some sort of Free Software on their diagnostic boot disks.

Tiff in only encumbered with LZW compression, it can use several other compression formats, or be uncompressed.
:)
Besides, the LZW patent expires on June 20th of this year. Then GIF and all LZW will be free. 60 days until freedom!
It's right on the page.

Isn't devfs depricated?
From that PDF someone else posted, it uses the 2.4Ghz range, same as 802.11b. :)
Makes me wonder why the Sunday Times blurb said it used a different frequency from microwave ovens though, in fact it uses the same one.
From an isotropic radiator, yes.
