TCP/IP doesn't wait for the ACK. It keeps sending until the Window is full, or the ACK is received. If the Window fills it will wait until the ACK is received (or timeout and retry, etc).
If the test is trying to automatically place the users in specific Tiers then there could be a problem, however the rest of the issues are mostly a red herring. I use Speedtest.net and can readily attest to it's general accuracy, and I seriously doubt any other services are all that different.
by the way, I'm not in the U.S., I actually get what I pay for.
Many, many vaccines can cause seizures, and not all seizures result in physically obvious symptoms. Once a person experiences a seizure, regardless of the cause, they are significantly more likely to have seizures in the future.
Various vaccines are being promoted by their manufacturers, not because they have actual benefits, but because it's a money making position to have a vaccine that will be forced onto the general population. Look into the HPV vaccines, actual risks. The HPV vaccines may have future benefits, but the promotion by the manufacturer has been mostly to school boards and politicians; not the public. The current commercials are based on fear mongering, not education.
He turned on the Internet because he felt it turned on him.
Repeating his adventure ad-nausium, touring the country, etc all contributed to his deteriorating personal life. During that time he changed as a personal and blamed the Internet and computers for his problems.
In truth he no longer lived the filtered, protected life he dreamt that he had and his friends/family still thought they lived in.
Opening your eyes and seeing the world for what it is, when everyone around you sees it through rose coloured glasses, or as simply black-and-white; good-vs-evil has a tendency to destroy people.
To put it in perspective, dynamite was invented to reduce injuries for mining and construction. (Blowing up mountains). He wasn't looking to build a weapon. Never mind that dynamite isn't a particularly great weapon.
seriously, their method is on crack. SMTP supports queue of mail, use the god-damn feature and us a compressed link for the exchange.
put quotes on the uplink as necessary to prevent flooding (size, or number of messages) if it's an issue, but otherwise, where;s the problem to solve? SMTP worked when people used 1200bps modems for internet links.
The problem is you generally do not get money to simply study X.
You get money to show that X affects Y in manner Z. If X doesn't affect Y in manner Z they pull your funding, give you a failing grade, or otherwise find ways to punish the results.
They do this over and over again and then wonder why researches fake data, toss good data out and re-do the study looking for results they want instead of what is.
Want to do a drug study that says Drug A is safe to fight cancer? Got results that indicate an increase risk of heart attack? Have the study declared flawed, re-do the study with a slightly different mix of subjects and repeat. With luck your new study shows the heart attack risk is below the error threshold of your study and you can ignore it. Release your drug, make your millions and, after you leave have the real-world implicates show up on the 5 o'clock news.
Randomsequence will have to be consistent between the user and the sites they want the gravatar to work at, but it will generate an MD5 hash different than their actual address; yet if the site sends email to the user with it the user will receive it.
Cuba does not take kindly to people trying to subvert it's government, particularly when those people are Americans. Considering the United States government has previously tried to overthrow Cubas government it isn't really a surprise they would take the actions as negative.
Malware can exist for any platform. However, real actual malware in the wild requires an eco-system to support it. Providing you can compromise a machine proves nothing. Proving that an ecosystem can actually exist on Linux machines would require completely releasing it into the wild, and subjecting innocent people to it.
I don't know about you, but I know where that falls when it comes to ethics and it ain't on the right side of it.
There is a reason for it, and it isn't what most people think.
It's related to how the brain handles white balance when it comes to colours. Your brain compensates for missing, or contradictory information. After a while you get used to it and don't notice it, and then when you are presented with something closer to 'perfect' you may, or may not recognize it as being all that different.
Sat Radio has relatively poor quality, but after listening to it for an hour or two the artifacts get filtered out by my brain (all but the worst ones anyway) and I don't notice it; but expose somebody to it for the first time and they will cringe.
The concept is kinda cool but their demo could have been easily faked. It isn't convincing until I can wander around the room on demand while tweaking the environment. As well, it's next to useless if it takes a $15K machine to generate the required images in pseudo-realtime for a single session. (useless in the remote access sense, not necessarily useless in a studio environment for architecture or vehicle modelling; although those needs can be met with a rendered video sequence anyway.
A movie that costs $200 million to make means that before it made it to the theater the producers & friends made $100 million. Most of the companies paid during the production of a movie are owned by the parties making the movie.
Drupal inherently relies upon a large number of 3rd party modules to, effectively, do anything. As such, the entire eco-sphere of mainstream modules matters.
1. You make a character look like you, so you can feel like 'YOU' are part of the story. 2. You make a character like you wish you were, to make 'YOU' feel like some sort of hero (or anti-hero) 3. You make a character unlike yourself and not like you wish you were to give yourself a different perspective and to act out a roll.
If the characters look (color, shape, accent, etc) has no direct bearing on the story then it's just window dressing.
You should do better research. The court cases involving GPL have determine there is consideration. The consideration is provided in the exchange of using the source-code and being required to subsequently provide it. Consideration does not need to be monetary.
As a consequence of copyright law in virtually every significant jurisdiction (berne convention) it would be illegal to distribute the source code, or derived binaries without agreeing to the contract. This is why it is enforceable.
Within the context of Apple and Palm, you are correct. Nintendo, Atari, and various other companies have previously set precedence for compatibility.
However, Palms violation is with an organization they have a completely separate contract with. They agreed to not violate that contract, or the organizations rules in exchange for using the various USB trademarks, as well as receiving various patent usage rights. It is highly unlikely for the courts to decide that it is acceptable for Palm to violate a contract for a 3rd party even if a decision between Apple / Palm were to declare Palm in the clear.
This could get very expensive for Palms manufacturing division.

Or maybe he -is- a recluse.
From what I read this is all well within his pattern of behaviour.
Personally I can agree with him. Simply "Fuck off and leave him alone".
I think it's safe to say that he's not going to sue for the money, they should setup a bursary and help educate a student or two.
Hundreds? I count 64 LEDs.
Hardly revolutionary.
Vaccines aren't as simple as people think.
Many, many vaccines can cause seizures, and not all seizures result in physically obvious symptoms. Once a person experiences a seizure, regardless of the cause, they are significantly more likely to have seizures in the future.

We had a set of such dishes; the bowls will break after being dropped from a cupboard, bounced off the counter and dropped to the floor several times.
And yes, when they do finally break you can pickup the pieces, all 50 bajillion of them, with their razor sharp edges.
I have a small scar on one toe from when a bowl exploded and a small piece skimmed across my foot.
There is no such thing as fourth party.
Third party is used to define a party not directly involved. A third party to a third party is still a third party.

On that basis, why not create a group which users can be added to that would be allowed to do this?
If you have group "AllowInstall" you can install applications. Done. Problem Solved. Everybody move along.

IQ numbers are normalized. So, you can't have an entire population with IQs higher than 100.
Bahahaha.
A movie that costs $200 million to make means that before it made it to the theater the producers & friends made $100 million.
Most of the companies paid during the production of a movie are owned by the parties making the movie.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Otherwise is seems so completely fucking pointless.

Drupal inherently relies upon a large number of 3rd party modules to, effectively, do anything. As such, the entire eco-sphere of mainstream modules matters.
This is Awesome, now all the Drupal vulnerabilities will be highlighted on a daily basis!
I like Drupal, but security isn't really their strong point, nor is proper testing of their modules.
Oh well.
that made more sense.
1. You make a character look like you, so you can feel like 'YOU' are part of the story.
