From what I've read this seems to boil down to a he said she said case from two women that discovered they were sleeping with the same man. Rape is a serious charge and should be only upheld with serious evidence there is far to much ambiguity from my perspective with these cases. The filing charges and dropping them and refiling seems fishy I wonder if Sweden has a filing false reports law or similar they could have used to compel these women to stick to there version of events? Further extradition for questioning? Sorry this just smacks of overreaching and punitive they are free to contact his lawyer and get a no response to any questions they might have there is no need to extradite him, charge him or drop it.
Unlike a spare part you don't pay for extra capacity. Transit billing is generally 95th percentile you throw out the top 5% of samples and bill on the remaining peek. From a design standpoint if you had two links you would not want to see either running over 50% from a billing standpoint you pay about the same for two links 50% used as you do one link at 100% so there is little reason to max out links unless there is a failure and it's picking up the slack.
Completely clean? The companies are not run out of the US. Would it be illegal buy a billboard and put come to something that's illegal in your is legal here? By that logic the Indian casinos should not be able to advertise outside of there res since gambling is generally not legal elsewhere? Should we seize there domain names?
Lets remember they have there own cable plant to maintain (really no incremental cost from the cable or phone plants they all ready had) and piles of tech support for the clueless idiots that think there ISP is responsible for fixing there computer.
Cogent and L3 and a few others I have NDA's not to mention. IP transit has no real cost of goods, maintaining a network has very little per bit costs or even per port.
Teir 1's do not pay anything (but they have to actively manage there business to get the traffic fairly even) this is what makes a tier 1 a tier 1. In the medium market I can get a 1gb connect with a 1gb floor for $1k a month 10gb for 5k and I do not deal with anything over 10gb at a single location (few people do). So while all the cable companies (none of them are tier 1 networks in the US to my knowledge) might pay most of the DSL company's do not since they are mostly Tier 1 networks. Now people generally buy on 95th percentile billing that is you throw up the top 5% of the samples (5 minute samples generally) and are billed on that rate with a minimum bill of so many mbs. There are no real per month costs past that for bandwidth, so my 16mbs comcast line would cost them less than 8 bucks a month to buy the bandwidth for if I maxed it out all month. Oddly I expect they will play the normal consumer billing of per megabyte delivered and probably more for a megabyte than I could buy it for in bulk.
On the spot fines, no thanks the lawyers are cheaper than the tickets now and no drivers record etc. This sounds like a plethora of things were they do the is x if you just pay up 2*x if you try and fight it (often worded as pay before y date) Is that anything more than getting shaken down for money by a cop? How about lets not fine people for things are are not reckless, say any speed on an empty highway.
Did Comcast become transit free when I was not looking? Nope they still buy transit L3 should grow a pair and cancel there settlement free peering with Comcast, worst case is they end up with an imbalance with another transit free provider. Right now comcast is not paying for the bandwidth L3 should grow a pair and make them pay for those bits even it's to att or similar. Time Warner is in the same boat. Look at it more as Comcast needs to find some source of packets to send to L3 to get the ratio's back inline if they want to play with the big boys. Take a look at there network http://www.robtex.com/as/as7922.html Comcast is an obvious bad actor they like many of the cable co's chew through AS numbers because they don't want to have a backbone they do want everybody to do the hard work for them.
There are small government anybody's? Wish I could find some to vote for but they do not exist. Every politician I've hear above small town mayor has been trying to trade some entitlement program, tax cut etc for votes (I don't care if it's welfare or tax cuts for the rich it's I'll give/take more/less money/stuff). I've yet to hear anybody actually run on a I'll do the minimum necessary to protect society and keep it working platform. That's not exciting to the tv watching beer guzzling masses or the wealthy elite. But I'm also a great fan on limiting the things the government gets involved with.
As it stands taking a full BGP feed slams a routers sup pretty hard. Now routing sups are often under powered but it's an issue. Then you have to look at what your authenticating we already authenticate sessions to stop injection attacks. If you going to authenticate the validity of the end point for each route, that stops some attacks but how do you do it so somebody can not re advertise that same route and send it somewhere else??? BGP is built on a trust model, and it's rather hard to do it another way that will actually secure anything. Using the ripe route db works well to propagate filters but at some point you have to assume that your ISP will have every route and trust them, adding crypto will not change that. A simple database of what AS should be advertising what net blocks works wonders, there are about 300k net blocks in use and not to many left to expand that.
No the model is they have to continually invest in expending the capacity of there network, to service the existing and new customers. Bandwidth has no real cost of goods many of the ISP's do not pay anybody for it (comcast does pay AT&T does not). A good equivalent would be old school wired phone service and local calls, they charged a single fee to connect and you could use it as much as you liked, this did drive them to expand there capabilities. Comcast does not want to expand it's capacity. Lets remember Comcast had a net earnings of about 3 billion last year thats after expenses. I think they can afford to pump some money into improving networks capacity. Lets remember that capacity expansion is a one time cost with small costs over it's growth cycle (but a big chassis for big $$$ add more interfaces as needed) and that cycle is 7-10 years.
So your solution is to negotiate from a position of weakness, exterminate the entire area or just ignore it and it will go away? None of those three options seem viable to me. War simply put is the ultimate method to impose your will on another if we would take the gloves off we might get somewhere. I refer to old school war aka release the hounds of war, politicians tell them to get the job done and back off, the military does what it does you take fire from a building destroy it not qq about collateral damage. People die in war military and civilian, we have harmed ourselves by trying to make this concept of legal war of minimal impact. War is simple anybody that opposes you dies anybody around them dies, when they get tired of dieing they will surrender. Look at WWII we firebombed entire cities that supported the war efforts of our enemy, we glassed over 2 cites before the Japanese decided to surrender and then we permanently stripped them of there offensive military and built some nice military bases of our own. It's a good role model were good friends with the japan now and they will never be a military threat (unless were stupid enough to let them become one). I do not like the fact that so many people needed to die for the nation of Japan to understand it could not win but I accept that it was what was required to win.
Well the domain name is the only thing apparently under US jurisdiction. Illegal where in the country they are in or the US, sorry but I can not agree the US law somehow should be dominate on the internet.
It might be illegal in the states to do so (for profit as that's required for it to be a criminal matter in the states). It's not apparently illegal where there servers are or something would have been done about it locally.
It makes a big difference under US law whether or not they are making money as that is the dividing line between civil and criminal liability. I cant say weather or not they were selling ad space etc.
At the end of the day this is a stretch to having US law control the internet by allowing US judges to issue take down notices for things outside there jurisdiction. The root issue was the stupid idea of.com etc as apposed to.co.uk and similar. This moves exposes how important it is to move the dns root to the control of an international agency like the UN. The UN is primaly designed to do nothing, it takes massive international outrage to get much anything through it. Some countries actually have a differing opinion as to what is sensible copyright law or if it makes any sense at all, if the US wants to enforce it's laws it should do so inside it's boarders.
Then they can seize those electrons/photons inside there borders..com is the international domain name not a US one we have.us for that, unfortunately we used to require a rather complex system for.us making it rather unattractive.
How can a domain name be illegal? I'ts like saying 42 is illegal or 123 somewhere st is illegal. Were headed down a rather slippery slope that people have been worried about for years. Snatching domain names is simply put censorship we don't like what your saying so we will try stop people from hearing it. If they are selling fakes it's pretty easy to follow the money trail and stop them from getting paid by people in the US even for electronic goods, if they are not getting paid it's not a criminal issue.
The proper channels would be the country that the company is located in. This is an end run as they do not like dealing with those foreign legal systems.
Actually this is pressing the issue of US control over the DNS root. As long as it's under it's control in effect all web sites fall under US law. Unfortunately the original.com etc was a rather bad idea there are few really global companies. The UK method of.co.uk etc allows them to handle there own.
For all practical purposes bombs on planes make little sense. There are easier more populated targets that can not be reasonable secured. One of these morons with a suicide vent would do more damage in grand central station nyc than a jumbo jet. We did the smart things we put a door that was more than tissue paper and the population stopped being sheeple and stood up for themselves. Politicians get very worried about people standing up fro themselves it's a dangerous trend, they might figure out politicians are not all that useful.
OK lets assume 1ru's come in two basic flavors the fully integrated products from Dell HP IBM and the like these rarely have any standard power connectors let alone internal SATA ports. Then there are the custom built these normally have free standard power connectors and free SATA ports. In the first case there is nothing to plug it into unless you add a sata raid card at which point why not just get the power from the PCI-E slot? Custom servers don't need to draw power from a dimm slot. In either case if your that concerned about performance you would have populated that DIMM slot already to max out ram. This seems like a solution looking for a problem to fix.
Yawn and this matters how? I have sued a couple of them and the scum debt collectors go out of business and reform. They don't have any assets they rented some office space, phones computers and the lot. IN my case a auto loan was sold to a different scummy bank. I auto paid from my bank on the first of every month. Every time the first fell on a weekend or there was a holiday afterward they would call me at work and my cell with those annoying auto dialer where you pick up and then they put you on hold for an operator. I had told them that my work did not allow for me to take these sort of calls and that payment was already made. After escalation to there "supervisor" (who I think was the guy in the desk next to them and there supervisor who was never there to get this to stop I sent certified mail and progressed to sue them in small claims. I did this twice each time they never showed and I won by default (and wasted several mornings). You will never be able to get anything out of them they go under like clockwork and use cagey banking practices so that they never own anything. It took refinancing to a different bank to get this to stop, they even tried to add extra fee's etc to refinancing not in my original contract a third round in small claims fixed that I think the judge recognized my face at that point.
If you want anything close to fair debt collections the debt owner need to have to forfeit the dept if there agents ever loose one of these cases. Till then they are a just disposable shields from the law. And for those that think it's unfair that they should loose that debt they are free to require insurance against such from the company's they employ to do this work and are free to sue each other over who is responsible. These agency's only make anything on debts they collect and have effectively insulated themselves from civil prosecution so have no reason to really obey the laws.

If my manipulate you mean expose the truth I guess your correct. I'm not of the opinion that people in political power or seeking it should have much privacy. They act as our agents we have to pick them doing so by sound bytes and pr material is foolhardy. Now I don't know if this guy did it for political reasons or for haha's. As to obstructing the investigation yea I would say it is his responsibility to obstruct an investigation as he was the subject of it especially since it seems to have been a politically motivated witch hunt.
