    Remember ascii art?

  2. Re:This would be a lot more amusing... on RFC On New Internet Routing Protocol · · Score: 1

    You mean another one? (after TV)

    Isn't that exactly why cable is necessary?

    Over the air TV in the states is as titilating as church. Not to mention (but I will) choked full of advertising.

  3. Re:The drawback is on Why One Man Got a Guerrilla RFID Implant · · Score: 1

    I would guess that it is waxy DUE TO the cost controls.

    But let's face it, after the first couple of beers, does it REALLY matter what brand, flavour, taste, toxicity it is? C'mon man we are talking beer here, not cannabis.

    cost?

    See Walmart is known for being low-cost. Gas stations, convenience stores,etc, well I am sure you have seen the $10 pack of smokes (after 11) in NFLD too (just like Ontario).

    Damn!!! Y'all's Walmarts sell beer?

    That's it I am leaving Canada for Jesusland as soon as I take back my empties.

  6. Re:Do their woodchip mills run linux or bsd? on Brazil: Free Software's Biggest and Best Friend · · Score: 0, Troll

    That's OpenBSD.

    From the OpenBSD cvs:
    Software which OpenBSD uses and redistributes must be free to all (be they people or companies), for any purpose they wish to use it, including modification, use, peeing on, or even integration into baby mulching machines or atomic bombs to be dropped on Australia.

    yep you get the same address everytime.

    Mine has changed exactly once in the last 4 years.

    That was when @home went bell up and my isp transferred us over to their netblock (65.) from 24.

    I guess the specify dhcp for that reason.

  11. Re:Dinosaurs are a myth on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 1

    I am sure that goes over well in the South.

    What scares me is that even scientific people don't see the comedy (as seen in the moderation of your comment)

  12. Re:Competition is good on Cable Equal Access Case Goes to Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    I live in the Toronto Ontario (Canada) Area.

    I have the exact opposite experience.

    Cable is statically assigned dhcp, dsl no.

    Downstream 3MB
    cap 60GB (bidir monthly)

    DSL upstream 128K
    downstream 1MB
    not sure, never hit it.

    great idea.

    But I bet the uuen(de)coding will take more time than burning a cdrw every week or so.

  14. Re:VoIP should supplement, not replace landline on Texas Attorney General Sues Vonage over 911 · · Score: 1

    Same is true in North America, mate.

    Landlines are self powered. Now if you choose to get a cordless phone (that requires a powered base) to connect to it, all bets are off.

    Didn't you get the email?

    It was only sent to Canadians. It had a web link to opt out of all spam.

    Perhaps it got caught in your spam filter.

  22. Re:Extortion? on Publishing Exploit Code Ruled Illegal In France · · Score: 1

    ah not exactly.

    This would be more like telling a newspaper about the deficiency, and including the information that they had to be hit "from the rear".

    Hitting them yourself would be like actually releasing a virus (in the wild, not a proof of concept) based on the exploit.

    I don't think that is actually what happened here.

  23. Re:Spot On on Roger McNamee On Video on the Internet · · Score: 1

    1 seeder to 1 client is fine.

    What gets interesting is when you get 20 clients and still have the same seeding bandwidth (hard cap).

    I think that is what bittorrent is supposed to fix.

    It's a bandwidth multiplier, not a bandwidth alchemist.
