The DMCA gives them some immunities, but common carrier is a specific definition I believe its a FCC thing but not certain. DMCA is federal and a soccer-mom can sue in state court and arguing jurisdiction in court is a delicate matter, but still soccer-mom wins in district court, appeals court over-turns on appeal, wash rinse repeat, even for a Comcast it could be the death of a thousand cuts because the news of the win is front-page, the news of over-turned verdict is on page 57, which just emboldens the other soccer-moms.
sure they are last night, My BT client probably sent a GB of handshaking overhead traffic in order to actually transfer 221.4 MBs of content that works out to 0.0001025 Mb/Sec!, Now that's a Comcastic HiSpeed experiense without any outright blocking!
yeah like mine, my dial-up maxed out at 27.8, so I assume that DSL would be pretty dismal as well. At work we had satellite, which works good for web browsing but start something like FTP with a lot of handshaking and you'd be better off on dial-up. Out of spite I've been running ktorrent, I'd load anything on a "most popular" list at the trackers last night I managed to upload 221.4 MB.
Comcast like all ISPs are NOT common carriers, but they do enjoy certain immunities against criminal prosecution for illegal content transfers; but that is not going to stop some soccer-mom from getting out of her SUV and suing the shit out of them in civil proceedings. I think we geeks should explain the advantages of bit-torrent for distributing religious and political brochures to our Church, Civic and Political groups, before long COMCAST will be tarred and feathered as the Godless Anti-American Heathens that they are.
OBTW the OSHA and Army reg's require an annual testing respirators (Gas Masks) with an "irritant smoke" the civs use an smoke, but the Army uses CS, but there is no requirement to remove the mask in an irritating environment, other than a slightly sadistic tradition. I was in the NG and one year we were scheduled to use the gas-shack at Fort Custer, I had everything set up ready to go and was waiting for some troops, when the Marines began to arrive. I told the Marine Reserves NBC NCO, that we were scheduled but the more the merrier. The Marines road-marched 12 miles to the gas-shack with full rucksacks on a nice hot sweaty day went into the chamber that had about 3 times more CS in the air than I'd have used, and then started to do calisthenics in there. I'll tell you what, the guys that had a good seal had a GOOD seal, so I sent my guys through with the Marines, Muhahahaah. It amazed me how many people had a good seal and fit until they bent over or move a certain way.
The Palestinians left at the urging of their "Arab Brothers" and when they did their "Brothers" stuck them in the refugee camps permantly for the PR value that sticking them in camps and blaming Isreal woulkd have. They could have became Isreali citizens way back when, and if they did instead of leaving, Isreal would be voting on makeing Islam the official religion today!
The problems with the movie is the auto injetors are normally injected IM into the v. Lateralis, 2 at 2 mg atropine each (and I did mean 2.0 not 0.2 mg) if the victim is symptomatic and the second problem is most military nerve agnets have a biological half-life of about two weeks (atropine is what about 6 hour?) and you can absorb LD-50 in about 18 seconds so your pretty shit-outa-luck with out a chem suit and protective mask. Also the agent like VX would persist in that enviroment for about a year.
you stick them in a monkey and his testicles melt or his hair falls out.
Pvt Snuffy " Sarge look at me, I sat down on that nerve agent antidote injecter and acccidently stuck myself in the ass; now my hair is falling out and my testicles are melting!"
Sgt Rock "I don't know what you bitching about there Soldier, if the Government wanted you to have a pair, they'd have issued them to you, and that hair shit is purely cosmetic, you wannna look good for the enemy or something, I hear they like pretty boys if you know what I mean?
Pvt Snuffy " But Sarge"
Sgt Rock " No buts about it, here sign this "Statement of Charges" so we can take the cost of that wasted injector outa your pay, the money you save not buying condoms and getting hair cuts should just about cover it. Now suck it up and drive on HURRRAH!"
We had a guy, he sort of the accident waiting to happen type, and he had gotten a hold of a live atropine autoinjector that was expred. In a NBC class he was intending to demonstrate the injector by activating it aganst a piece of cardboard; so what happened is he injected it through the cardboard and into his thumb and he's walking arround with the needle stuck in the bone! So we had to ship him off the the ER to get a tetanus shot, the needle pulled out and monitor him for fifty time the normal dose of atropine in his system. Years later I saw him again and he managed to cut the same thumb off to the first joint with a table saw.
A typical dose for atropine is 0.4 mg and is that very useful for colds and before surgery or dental work becuase it dries you up pretty good and ounces stuff isn't running down your throat; for nerve gas antidote that typical dose of atropine is 2.0 mg and it's not unusual for a second dose to be give 10 minutes later if the patients heart rate isn't at 120 and is very usful for keeping gallons of stuff from running down your thorat. We also classify nerve agent as reversable and irriversable i.e. a trversable agent is one where an antidote will reactivate the ACE denatured by the nerve gass, these oximes will only work with the reversables; if you get into something irreversable like VX the oximes are useless.
I think a lot of times how good you are at selecting students, and the way you shape how they learn to look at a problem is much more important than what you actually teach them; could you imagine Havard law school assigning the students a project, "using the legal system destroy the RIAA through litigation", extra points for inferiantly obscure opinions used.
In America, only old people have smallpox vaccination scars, and only old people knew people who had polio. Actually most people with a real cold believe they have the flu.
The truth is while methane is a very powerfull greenhouse gass, it washes out of the attmosphere pretty quickly so it really doesn't contribute global warming even if greenhouse gasses do.
a tree falling in the woods with nobody to hear it doen't make any noise because noise is a value judgement made by humans, the presence of humans have no effect on the sound made.
if the effect was caused by a phase shift then the interference pattern would still exist, but the pattern would change, but what happens is the pattern disapears because only waves make interference and the photon became a particle.
The thing is in quantum mechanics observing a particle is like observing a thrown baseball by hitting it with a bat. Sure there is a lot you can figure out about it, but the observation changes the observed. To change the universe by observing it you'd have to do something like bouncing a universe with a known momentum off an universe with an unknown momentum!
more likely I'm just being dense and not understanding the theory involved here the theory is going to the telegraph for serious insightful reporting is like going to Goatse.cx for hemorroid care advice.
In order for there to be a nuclear yield, everything that has to happen has to happen within a 100 nanosecond window, there is no way that anyone could reverse engineer it without have several to trial runs at make an nuclear explosion, which would kind of kill any surprise effect.
But remember some of that money is tied up in popularity, a little bit of trollishness is good by keeping the names in the public eye, too much and the goodwill of the public diminishes along with the revenues generated by being popular and mainstream. Has Ted Turner recovered from being too political, probably not and I don't See Mark Cuban as being as astute as Ted. Still it's Joe's like us that pay the cable bill and suffer through the commercials that help pay the TV contracts that means the Mavericks can make money whether they win or not, we get pissed at Mark, sooner or later it hits their wallets
Comcast seems to be getting pretty good at canceling upstream connections that last too long, that would kill Tor as well as BT or any other P2P I can think of
Mark Cuban is a content provider, NBA team, HD content he even funded the DNC propaganda movie "Redacted", why would he want anything that increases competetion? He a Ted Turner wannabe!
The problem isn't even close to a "backbone switch" the problem is the neighborhood sub-net is grossly under-provisioned by the same people selling "unlimited High-speed internet". What's happening is like buying a car and being told it will go 70MPH but when you get it you find that after going 70MPH for 5 minutes, you have to stop and let the engine cool off for an Hour, then have the dealer tell you your a maniac that should be banned from the roads for even trying to drive 70MPH and having him install a speed actuated kill switch on the car on the car engine against your wishes.

That fix is so simple it's brilliant, should be easy to implement. Bit torrent is easily resilient enough to change to the more unreliable UDP.
WTF it's about Perl,the sentence just attempts to sets a proper tone for the subject, do normal English speaking people understand Perl?

how about Noise, sounds that annoy humans.
