Better quit using TCP, then... unless you (and your ISP) are manually setting all of your TOS bits to 0, that is.
Protocols are mechanism, not policy. The reason why you haven't complained as yet of your IPv4 traffic being "slowed to a crawl" is that TCP's QOS features (minimal though they are) are typically only used when needed and ignored otherwise.
I would rather have the possibility open to shape traffic, should I want to, than to pre-emptively close the door because others might use it in ways I disapprove of. There are plenty of legitimate uses for QOS besides pissing off gamers (though I consider that an important activity in its own right:) -- and if their games are bandwidth hogs, maybe widespread QOS will force game-designers to write more efficient protocols.
actually, the solaris way is _more_ intuitive. 'killall' actually kills all. 'umountall' actually umounts all filesystems, including/. Although I respect Linux and use it all the time, it's important to remember which one's actually UNIX and which one is a very good UNIX clone. Generally, although this is NOT to be construed as a value judgement for or against either of them, Linux is quite far from the original conception of "real" UNIX. My first BSD experiencemade me think of just how much more UNIX-like BSD was -- and how distinctly un-UNIX-like linux is in a lot of ways.
It's only about what a gov't calls itself. There's no implication that it fulfills that categorization. Look at china -- they're still claiming to be communist, and Lenin must have turned over in his grave several times at the mere suggestion. Hey, I'm running an autonomist collective right here in my apartment. Want to prove me wrong?
Get real, buddy. Mental illness exists, I'm sorry to say, and sometimes the mentally ill are dangerous. My first bit of advice to you would be to stop reading scary books and reader's digest articles and take a look at how mental illness is treated in the REAL world. My second bit of advice would be to read a few medical journals about the _actual_ effects of CNS drugs like the ones you mention. Reading your words, I would like to call you abnormally paranoiac and delusional, but because it's the nineties, and because I'm not decieved by hype and sound bites as you are, I think I'll just diagnose you as silly.
Ummmm... aren't you forgetting port-forwarding? let's see; I can telnet to my masqueraded machine like this: redir --lport=97 --caddr=192.168.1.2 --cport=23 & telnet mydomain 97 #forwards connections to port 97 #to the masq'd box's port 23 I can do the same with a web server or any other kind of service. Set up right, you can open up all sorts of holes to inbound services. I'm logged into a masq'ed machine at home from work right now.

Whoops ... s/TCP/IPv4/g; TOS bits are in the IP header, not the TCP header. *bonk*

Time for my fifth time through Stevens in as many years...

Nope, no quake, at least not as far as I can tell. They had me going, too. ;)
