Why don't I use the camera? Maybe I don't want to have to MAIL the image to myself because verizon does not let me download the pictures using usb or bluetooth.
Fact of the Matter is there are LOTS of features I'm sure people would use IF the phone company did not play games and want to charge you to use a feature that the hardware manufacturer has made standard on the phone.
Take my phone for example, the Razr V3m. It's getting a bit old, but it has LOTS of features including teathering that I COULD use but verizon disables it.
I wish they would stop playing like a bunch of Ferrengi.
Software is the weak point in supercomputing nowadays. Funding for hardware SO outstrips the development of software that runs on the expensive hardware that it's becoming a SERIOUS problem.
Of course people can throttle UDP, hell its done NOW on my cable modem. Just saying that as a way of breaking bittorrent by interfering with stateful connections by forging packets and breaking the state table, UDP does not have that problem.
I have no doubt some other way might be implemented.
I think since we should have full discloser Senator Biden should release all his email on his personal email accounts (if he has any) during the same time period.
And my mom can't use any of them since they require a ton of work to set up.
If you are so down on somebody coming up with something interesting who is young, why haven't YOU come up with something. At least these people are doing something useful with their lives.
Have you EVER tried to use some of the accelerated functions of the newer video cards to decode h.264? You CAN'T do it with.mkv files. Mostly they support.avi and MAYBE.mp4.
Until video card vendors start supporting.mkv files with their players for hardware accelerated decode, downloading and playing a high-bitrate h.264 1080p video files are almost impossible unless you have a bleeding fast computer.
I find it interesting that the Anarchists are protesting the Republicans more than the Democrats, especially when theoretically the Democrats are for MORE regulation and MORE Government (I say this as a matter of theory, not as a matter of reality). I also am not criticizing more gov and more regulation, just thinking of what an Anarchist might object to more.
With 86,400 seconds in a day and if your Cable modem is capable of 5Mb/s downstream or 52.73 GB per DAY (rounded down to nearest hundredth) you would reach the full download cap in aprox 4.74 days.
This is NOT taking into account goofy tricks like "powerboost" or network congestion.
Don't watch too many HD movies off of your Apple TV or participate in high-bandwidth video conferencing!
Additionally, if you wanted to keep from going over the cap in a 30 day month and decided to rate limit your downstream bandwidth (assuming they don't add upstream totals to your total per month) then by my calculations the per second downstream limit you should use would be 1.27Mb/s which is taking 250GB and dividing it by the number of seconds per month and converting it to megabits.
Somebody correct my math if I'm wrong...it's late and I'm tired!
So....if I want to get the most out of my modem. I should write some software (or somebody should) for my router/firewall that monitors total bandwidth and calculates my rate limit based upon how much I've used and how much time is left in the month. Then I could use my computer to my hearts desire for whatever and not worry about the cap by letting my firewall dynamically control my bandwidth throughput.
Methinks this was their plan to begin with (counter sue). I can't imagine they just "happened" to come up with this defense and lawfirm all of a sudden.
This is awesome for those who are wheel chair bound. Keep in mind this will only get better and better. He may only be able to walk slowly and with arm supports NOW, but I'm fairly certain that there will come a time when he'll be able to walk and run faster and better than non-assisted people.
Not anytime soon of course, but within 20 years? I'd say yes.
No, the IOC chose China as a reward for saving the Olympics from oblivion in 1984 when the Russians boycotted along with 10 other countries. Originally the Soviets were going to take something like 100 countries with them, but the IOC chairman went to China and they agreed to come which then took the wind out of the Soviet Union's boycott.
The IOC is going along with China on the age thing because they have already decided that they are going to give a pass to the Chinese government. The IOC literally believes that if it had not been for the Chinese in 1984, the Olympics would of been a shadow of itself today instead of the Commercial/Political monster it is now.

I'm as old as the universe (since all my subatomic particles are the same age) but I can only reliably remember back only a week or two.
But isn't EVERYTHING at the subatomic particle exactly the same age (from the big bang on)?

I never suggested that it's BETTER than TCP, but it would probably work better than TCP through a sandvine box.
And you completely ignored the first part of my post. You would still have to have some sort of TCP like mechanism higher in the application stack.
And move the TCP part into the application. You can't break a session where there is none to break.
Azureus already has UDP support, but it very rarely falls back to UDP unfortunately.

If all of Silicon Valley dies horribly along with enough of the cloud to make your data go away, chances are you will be "going away" with it.
yea, but this is not freenet and thus it does not work like freenet.
Then double encrypt it. Make a truecrypt container, upload it to the "cloud" and use it that way.
That's the thing with social/cpu/storage collective software...
You have to PARTICIPATE in order to get the benefits.
If you don't want to share, then nobody wants to share with you!
Then encrypt it twice (use freecrypt) or openssl
It's not STRANGE matter, it's EXOTIC matter. And for the record I've always wanted to be exotic!

1. BETA..Beta..BETA (although their use of "Beta" is a bit stretched I know).
2. Complain, email, Complain!! - Google DOES listen generally (they may not write back, but people do pay attention)

Now all they have to do is not ADVERTISE it as "unlimited"
yea, I seem to remember that as well. The guy with the springy legs. I agree with you.

Or somebody SO incredibly rich that NOT spending the money is more foolish.
