all i can think about is time warner and youtube. all youtube videos are throttled so horribly with time warner that i cant even watch 480p. time warner also cuts off the buffering after a certain amount of time, so you cant just leave it buffering all day either.
I thought I was having this problem on Verizon Fios. What I think I figured out is that the Akamai caching had stale dns entries pointing me to slow mirrors. Flushing the dns cache and reloading the browser page when youtube is slow often makes the problem go away.
So there's no actual internet archive? How was this not planned for years ago?
People mistakenly thought the Internet Archive was an actual archive of the internet, instead of the "Internet Archive of Uncensored Things". (until today i was one of these people)
Perhaps now this will either make IA do the right thing, or perhaps someone will step up to the plate.
This is what was recommended to me by my urologist. After doing some urine screens I was over 5g/day. Just reducing to a more normal level of under 2g a day was enough to end the stones. Cut out most fried, pre-packaged and junk foods, and it is easy to do.
My stones are Calcium Oxalate, which gets into your kidneys as they flush sodium they pull a lot of calcium out as well. Since you can't well cut calcium out of your diet, cutting down on sodium will help reduce the amount of calcium getting into your kidneys.
I also read labels due to kidney problems, mostly to cut salt content. Store bought popcorn is horrifyingly salty, to give the thing some flavor. Home-popped corn tastes great with just a bit of seasoning, I have completely weaned myself from using any salt at all.
While my primary concern is salt, I try to cut out as much calories, HCFS and trans fats as possible (since I am going to the trouble of reading the labels, which takes all of 5 seconds per product). In my standard american grocery chain, there are very few items at all that contain any trans fats at all. My guess is the trans fats are mostly in pre-packaged snack foods (which everyone should avoid), dollar-store poor people food, and restaraunts.
Basically trans fats will show up in any situation where food is unlabeled or people cannot afford to read the label. This is the "race to the bottom" in cost analysis of food. it is just limited to place where people can not/will not read the labels.
Well I did not mean to set off this war again. Perhaps both funky_vibe's "LCHF" (I have never heard it called that before), and the traditional 80's "Fat=Bad" fad diets are unhealthy, and a balanced diet with proper exercise is the best.
Heinlein did not intend for the message to be one of a farcical satire. He meant it.

What is the term for something that is unable to be determined if it was a farce or not?
Yeah, I read the article; they are inspecting the piers beneath the bridges. However in my mind I picture guys standing near the finish line in full scuba gear.
That's basically what I do - except instead of walking it to a neighbor, it's an encrypted drive I put in a cabinet at work. Updating it every month or two is good enough for our home stuff.
From your username I figured you were the guy testing bandwidth with a station wagon.
Agreed, I think the only thing I disagree on is that "if someone is dumb enough to confess..." That only serves the prison complex by putting as many people as possible in jail. Not the public interest, which is to capture and punish the guilty. A great many people are forced to confess because they are unaware that the police are not allowed to force one from them, that polygraph is bullshit, and are afraid of the piling on of charges that the overzealous DA will do if they do not confess (see Aaron Swartz).
Yeah, having these laws will let the guilty go free on occasion. However as Blackstone/Franklin said "It is better than 10/100 guilty men go free, than one innocent person should suffer." I get the feeling that the justice system does not agree... the prison-industrial complex would prefer it to be closer to "Lock up 100 men regardless of innocence, therefore we profit."

It's only just started this minute.
Time travelers commenting on stories always have spoilers.
Anytime someone makes this argument I read it as: "Other people's privacy is an anomaly and should be abolished, my privacy should be secured."
If you believe you do not think this way, you are lying to yourself.

So everything that is a derivative of something else is vulnerable?
Isn't Ubuntu a derivative of Debian?
I own the sun. Go ahead, just try landing there, my defenses will obliterate you!
So, you are this woman.
Why cant we get both loosing?
They have been loosed upon us.
Hit them with copyright violation shit for copying his business records with their list of people that question this stupid polygraph voodoo.
Wishfull thinking... but facts are not protected by copyright, only forms of expression are.
Is that a fact, or are you just expressing your opinion?
That sounds more like reverse phrenology.
What is the difference between 99% throttle and outright blocking? Either way your download will never finish.

No, I added the robots.txt myself :-\
The domains are still mine, just took them with me to the different webhosts I've been working for.
OTOH, nothing of value has been lost, just wanted to know exactly what I wrote about Seven of Nine 13 years ago.
Well that is the thing... sometimes are better off lost. Apparently the Internet Archive is testing the "cannot be unseen" principle.
A galactic sized particle accelerator? I think that is called a quasar.
Can you 3D-print one of those for me? Maybe I can visualize it then.
There is an example on this car.

Why not targeting high fructose corn syrup instead?
It is far more harmful and sugar is a better (albeit pricier) replacement.
Lobbyists, probably.
It's not enough that we tell people what they eat may be bad for them, now we enforce it. How long before meat is banned? Sugar? Fat? Salt?
Yeah I think it is unfair that ChiChis was run out of business. If people want to eat hepatitis A tainted food, they should be allowed!
And is there any benefit to using trans fats other than that they are cheaper than alternatives?
Maybe because Jelly fish tastes like slimy Jello that paralyzes your tong?
Tong? Sounds like you are speaking from experience here.
