and the idiotic filter idea - which was never going to get through the senate previously - will now not even make it past the house of reps, so I'd be very surprised if we heard anything about it again in the near to medium future.
Prioritizing based on source or destination would be a problem under Net Neutrality but prioritizing based on protocol etc isn't necessarily unless it's to try to degrade a competitors products(like a phone company which is also an ISP intentionally degrading VOIP).
My ISP prioritises packets from its own SIP server, but don't mess with packets from anywhere else. They do this to make their VoIP service more reliable (so it won't break up if the customer is flooding their DSL with bit torrent).
They don't do the same to 3rd party VoIP providers because it opens it up to abuse. Also a bit impractical to do it for every SIP server on the internet..
Hell Pizza may suck on the security front (as evidenced by this story), but I have to say they make the best pizza I've ever had, anywhere... and that's a fairly ringing endorsement since I've eaten pizza on pretty much every continent on earth
I'm guessing they have frozen pizza in Antarctica;)
Hells are ok, i see they say they have Australian stores - but I can't find where any of them are...
Spot on..au users; set up your own bit-torrent based mirrors
Uhh no. Bigpond have monthly data quotas, which count both downloads AND uploads. Their mirror didn't count towards that quota. So you want bigpond users to replace a quota-free mirror with a torrent that they not only have to pay for download traffic, but upload traffic too?
Much easier to move to a decent ISP, like Internode.
1) When are ISP's going to get off their Fat backsides and implement IPV6? Most in my part of the world have no plans to do this for 1-2 years.
Mine already has. I get Google and Youtube via IPv6.
2) When are the DSL Modem makers going to implement IPV6 in the devices that are sold to the majority of us?
Shame that it ain't going to get a lot of use outside the corporate world.
I'm running native ipv6 over ADSL PPPoE right now (sure, it's a cisco 877..). But there's an OpenWRT custom build that does the exact same thing if you have a modem to run in bridge mode. There seems to be an all-in-one router on the way: http://twitter.com/bigjsl/status/11082108182
The only problem I've had so far has been Windows 7 not liking newer versions of Cisco IOS - 12.4-24T and 15.0 both have some issue with route advertisment. Funnily enough, there's no problem with WinXP, Linux, or FreeBSD. Only Win7 (and possibly Vista, which I don't have).

I was just thinking about Australia's issue. If CA has a large number as well, I wonder Aussies are getting munch so much more? Greater number of sharks, shortage of food supply, or are the sharks down under simply more aggressive?
Well we do have a larger coastline than CA:)
And down here, we have sharks eating other sharks.
MACs encode the brand of wifi card (and usually of your laptop if it came with) so it can be reasonably easy to visually scan the room for the offender if there aren't 9001 MacBook Pros in it.
I bet they do use DWDM. Pipe's PPC1 uses 2 pairs over 6900km with a capacity of 2.56Tb/s, and Telstra's Endeavour is 2 pair over 9100km with a capacity of 1.28Tb/s

1) exactly what version of Android is it running (my guess 1.6) ?
2.2
Actually, they don't.

You just have to register your DNS server with Google.

Probably because I've never used it :)
Not that it matters, all of these sites will work just fine with NAT..
It's the p2p and VPN type apps that really need a non-nat address.

Independent MP Rob Oakeshott, the Opposition and the Greens have all come out against the policy, leaving it effectively dead in the water.
The " Pedestrian Council" is nothing but one crazy guy who thinks cars are evil. Ignore him.

Reorganise your spectrum so that you can deliver a gigabit per second over cellular protocols.
No chance of that happening - as it is we've got people bitching about cell towers.
so go to http://www.belowtheline.org.au/ and sort out who you're going to vote for. Print out the PDF and take it with you on voting day.
go with a pre-decided list that the main parties have reached through secret preference deals

What about trains?
Won't somebody think of the train driver?
Now that Google has all that StreetView WiFi data, maybe they can put together a free WiFi geo-location service
Like this?
I would rather have a Linux server with feet processor instead of an arm processor:
I heard Tux was an extra in Happy Feet.. ;)
The Israelis are not the only ones to shoot at their allies. The USAF attacked HMAS Hobart and one of their own ships during the Vietnam war.

Take a look at this post on the Pipe PPC-1 cable laying blog. It explains the repeaters.
I bet they do use DWDM. Pipe's PPC1 uses 2 pairs over 6900km with a capacity of 2.56Tb/s, and Telstra's Endeavour is 2 pair over 9100km with a capacity of 1.28Tb/s
