    actually the correct symbol for the english readers is given in the babel translation but whoever did the /. brief stuffed up their currency conversion

    and as a given rule if you are going to state a figure in say USD than you should format the number as it would be normaly seen in the US, and that goes for any other country

    ps Australian and we use "." for cents and "," for readability of large values

  13. Re:uh BitTorrent? on Fast TCP To Increase Speed Of File Transfers? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I suggest you RTFPDF namely this one.

    Which says nothing about hardware (and none of the others I read mentioned any change to hardware)

    Also a little reading and you will discover this is just a stop gap measure untill ECN is fully deployed.

    And yet more reading will produce this little gem at the bottom :-
    With 9,000-byte MTU, Linux, FAST and Scalable TCP all sustained more than 2.53Gbps on a single flow between Sunnyvale and Geneva, apparently limited by the transatlantic link. HSTCP sustained 1.8Gbps in that experiment. We emphasize that these experiments are preliminary and not yet conclusive

    nope

    you either have body tags or you have frameset tags, the one you use depends on the type of html document you have

    HTML 4.01 Spec

    7.1 Introduction to the structure of an HTML document

    An HTML 4 document is composed of three parts:

    1. a line containing HTML version information,
    2. a declarative header section (delimited by the HEAD element),
    3. a body, which contains the document's actual content. The body may be implemented by the BODY element or the FRAMESET element.

  18. Re:An Alexandrian Solution... on AOL Blocks Telstra Bigpond Mail · · Score: 1

    Telstra already deals with open relays on its customers systems

    Telstra scan their entire netblock everyday for open relays and if you foolisly run one you can expect your account to be disabled immediatly

    Most webmail systems will not give enough info to the user for them to actually see where it came from. The "From:" header means nothing

    and besides the block is on the actual telstra mail servers themselves

    > Actually it turns out that the methane density in sI (structure I, there are a bunch of different hydrate structures) hydrate is considerably higher than LNG at equal pres/temp.

    You can't have LNG at the temp/pres values that allow hydrates, which is the whole point they want an easier way of transporting the stuff not more of it
