Ah the core issue is why do tickets go to government coffers? Speed limits are about public safety not a hidden tax right? It would be how hard to change the fines to go to the registered charity of your choice to remove the incentive to ticket (a few lines of check boxes for major ones and a other fill in section). I could see it now political campaigns funded by angry speeders sending cash to the reform speed limit politicians.
I have a better plan sit there with them while they study instead of watching tv surfing the internet etc. Traditionally this is what the kitchen table is used for. I know I know advocating parenting over some device so you can have more free time, if you wanted free time you should have skipped procreating.
For the same reason if they are using some boxed "forensic" software and want to use that in court they should have to provide source or not use the evidence the state wants to have it's "expert" witness without allowing cross examination. I've worked with the FBI and they seem to love the click her forensic software, they were stumped by a.tgz file and a dd of a drive. The secret service on the other hand has it together I guess it takes a bigger brain to finding counter fitters and things the state dept asks them to look into than the FBI has a budget for.
Your forgetting the truly scary bits. State are passing laws that say that the breathalyzers are correct under the law same as they did with radar guns. They did this years ago with surveyors where state ones were right and you could not bring a non state one in as evidence to counter it. Oh yea some states are restricting you from insisting on a blood test you either accept the breathalyzer or loose your right to drive.
As a side note can we get back to reasonable, we need a right to drive you can not live a free life without being able to drive, removing that right should take a court order.
I do as well the point is most PC's have a horrid video chip set for for pretty much anything but high end games, video editing an other corner cases that is what developers should be doing there QA on. To often coders on short deadlines write junk and expect to pile on more hardware to compensate for bad code or design.
It's a fairly simple fix, an officer should have not have any more rights than any other person to point a firearm at you or handcuff you. I'm not saying they should not be able to do it but it's it's shared by the rest of the populace people will look at these powers a bit closer. The big problem to this is unions cops are setup to be above the average citizen by requiring review boards and being to close to the DA's office.
Oh disciplinary action, if I did that I would be arrested so should the cop. We have eroded our rights mostly for the "war" on drugs. Trouble is we have way to many laws and they are way to open to interpretation.
Because that costs a couple extra cents per unit and causes people to call in because they can not set there clock or return them to stores because they are two complicated. Same logic as to why they still sell microwaves with just a dial. People are generally stupid and making a commercial product requires it to be idiot proof.
It might be nice to let Skype callers reach you via SIP or vice versa but otherwise there software is pretty questionable and there tech is subpar. I'll take SIP with a HD codec anytime. This is good news as it seems they want to play in the phone 2.0 world with everybody else, for better or worse that world is SIP based.
For those that dislike SIP please note that without NAT SIP works very well and NAT == Evil things should get better in IPv6 since NAT should never be needed again.
Cogent works most of the time and is dirt cheap if you live in there footprint. In general bandwidth is treated like a commodity and for the most part that works. I build/support networks for a living and Cogent has it's place but if your solely reliant on them you will get burned. For a 9-5 office paying 1k a month for a 100mbs link if you loose a work day or two a year it's an acceptable comprise and why the CTO gets paid the big bucks to sell that and manage expectations that you will loose a couple work days a year to save that money. For somebody in the ISP space to be solely reliant on it it means loosing customers and a month or two's gross income a year it's a non starter.
Now where did I put my platinum plated balanced hi fidelity Ethernet cable to attach to my hand made switch and tube amplified Ethernet card. I don't want my flac files to get interference when I play them back from the server.
You do realize that at $5 a megabit a sec including the server etc your going into an oversubscribed setting? Bandwidth at it's cheapest is $5 a mbs from cogent and in the upper teens from any respectable source.
Why? We have had what two failed reactors of note and together they put out far less radioactive anything than coal power plants. You seem to be scared and scared irrational fear has no place in decision making. Would I want to walk into one? No I also would not want to walk into the bottom of a coal power plants smoke stack. Nothing is perfect fission has it's risks but it's the least risky solution that does not involve reductions in living standards. In the modern world that might not seem to bad but having seem the 3rd world they need better living standards and abundant cheap power is part of getting them.
Because the eco lobby does not like it and will scare monger anything to do with it. Grandma thinks that a reactor failing will look like Hiroshima.
Unfortunately people can not get it through there heads that fission/fusion is the only sustainable method of energy generation that can deal the increasing demand. Demand will not decrease, this would mean your children will have a lower standard of living than you.
Telsa has a fast car but the current mainstream hybrids are pitiful as far as performance goes. That has serious safety issues on current roads where you need to get from a stop sign to highway speeds in a few hundred feet to merge.
Now it does seem that the drivers of the smart cars just have a death wish I am getting cut off by them about once a week and I drive a full sized truck.
The only real solution is more nuke plants. I would love to see a couple hundred of these get built in the next few years. Placing them near existing base load will help with the high tension line issues. As far as protesters they have all change and things modern it's not a rational argument it's a religion to them.
Lets see it's fission is the only current clean source that can deal with our expanding power needs. These sound like RTG's pretty much a ball of radioactive material at the center of something that looks like a transformer. It makes heat and as the heat moves though the wires it generates electricity. Were talking no moving parts simple. The problem is they are big and do not put out much power more like a few hundred watts sustained for decades.
The reason why is they get to insert ads into those channels they push on you making them money. They do not care that you are not watching them, they sell by the number of subscribers.
I cant comment on Dalnet but that may involve having the back ends coordinate.
Falling back to UDP after how much time? The point is any slow down causes big headaches upstream there isn't time to fall back etc and still keep a fast system. The current 3000ms timeouts can cause nightmares adding another layer just makes it worse.
Now if they had just put all the security bits in follow on UDP packet(s) and use maybe a few bits in the request to ask for security verification. If the firewalls munged them no big deal as they would not start showing up till asked for by the local caching name servers.
Many of the current top level DNS servers are running via anycast meaning many different servers have the same IP and the internet routes to the nearest one. This works very well since it scales but it can not handle TCP it has to be one packet in n packets out otherwise the first and second packets might night reach the same server.
Keeping state for all the upper level recursive servers would be a nightmare and who gets to choose who gets to be an upstream. This sounds like usenet it works well until it got big then it became to much trouble for ISP's to support well.
Small delays in DNS resolution time can cascade into big delays to the end user. Granted I see way to many foreign cnames and HTTP 302 redirects etc all causing delay in to many sites. So even tacking on TCP setup latency.
Many firewalls are improperly configured not to allow DNS to use TCP now, changing the response much or even sending more UDP packets may cause gear to have fits.
I hate to disagree but a USB jack that works with a line in to USB adapter is the most versatile of the two. 3.5mm stereo jack takes us all the way back to unbalanced analog 2 channel audio at best. These has to be a pile of cheap chips to do the conversion.
My current setup gets me 5.1 digital audio at the bit rate and compression of my choosing, video as well, works with my steering wheel controls, and will allow for my main screen and 2 auxiliary screens to all have there own content (only 2 audio channels on those) all played back from the same storage device. Sure it's got it's own internal HD etc but people want to play back there ipods etc on occasion and I only upload/sync what I like via WiFi or 3G/EDGE.
I will agree that USB is not well suited but Firewire never took off, HDMI is to DRM laden and not suited for portable devices and spdif does not provide power (HDMI either for that matter).
Thats an entirely different analogy. Bail jumpers by definition has less rights than a normal citizen they traded some cash and those rights to get out of jail while awaiting trial. Now you could argue that the advent of bail bondsmen has corrupted the system judges used to let people out of there own at arraignment if they had roots in the community etc. Now they are forcing people to use an industry by not doing that and inflating the bond value since only a small percentage is required as the bond fee.
Cogents pricing is down as far at $4 a megabit on a 100bt link (in what I've seen) and there retail is $10 so a 100bt connection from Cogent is $400-$1000 they don't do connections smaller than 100bt though.
You don't seem to understand how peering works. Pushing the Sprint conntent to any of there other peers would have violated there peering agreements and they would not have seen the routes from those peers anyway. The internet only works because all the teir 1's have statement free peering with all the other teir 1's (teir one being the engineering definition of not having any transit links not because the sales guy said so) Transit is when you pay somebody to take your traffic often you cant switch from transit to peering with the same company (if you want ot become a teir 1 you will probably have to pay a 3rd party for transit during the transition). On a peering session you normally only get routes from your peers network and people that are paying them for transit, this means you never get the full 250k or so routes from any one peer.
The tHing you have to realize is every other tier 1 hates cogent, they are one ones that figured out that bandwidth really does not have a high cost if you build out your network smartly. Reliability has it's costs but every carrier has there bad days some more than others. Cogent really only provides service where they can do it cheaply mostly major metro areas especially big shared office buildings. It's dirt cheap bandwidth if you can get it (think $400-1000 for a 100mb connection with no caps etc) and many business are willing to trade some reliability issues with cogent for paying less than there T1 for a pipe 66 times bigger. That being said your silly if cogent or sprint is your only provider.
As a side note this is one of the reasons to avoid tier 1 carriers they are fine if you have at least 2 of them but if you can only have one connection get a tier 2 thats paying 3 or more tier ones for bandwidth and has the capacity to loose any one carrier at any time. As a hint most tier one's have AS numbers below 3k.

This is simple all OS/App developers need to be given a 3 year old PC to test on. They need the big honking system to code/compile on.

Overall neither one is perfect
