A full T1 is (1.544 Mbps) usually comes in somewhere at about $1500/month. My cable modem from @Home (2.2 Mbps downstream / 128k upstream) costs $40/month. Is this starting to make sense to you?
Except they are AT&T. They would still be reselling to themselves a T1 that they already own. T1's are overpriced, because they existed when there was no real other technologies that can provide that rate. Telecoms like to sell T1s over DSL lines, because T1 charging rates are huge compared to the DSL line and the cost is about the same. This means huge profit. For some reason companies like that. Go figure. Yes, if people used the cable modem at full rate, probably nothing would happen. Packets would be dropped, service would slow, but it wouldn't really cost them any more money.
But Microsoft isn't a monopoly in games. On consoles they're competing against 2 entrenched competitors and in PC games they have some games, but are mainly a redestributor. They have no leverage against Bungie to force them, but they did have cash to buy them out. Also you can have very large amounts of cash without being a monopoly. The Bungie/Halo example really doesn't hold as abuse of monopoly power.
Same is true of the X-Box. For example, their most hyped game is Halo, right? Halo started as a game for Windows, but MS somehow convinced the developers to both develop for X-Box and delay work on a Windows release so that they could sell more X-Boxes. Again, leveraging their monopoly unfairly.
They convinced Bungie by buying them out. They didn't leverage their monopoly status, just their very large sums of cash on hand.
Or that people just don't want to deal with the hassles of on-line and automated service. My bank has an online billing site, but I refuse to use it. I see no need to change how I pay bill, just because the new system will save the bank money. Computers for the sake of Computers is bad.
Except this wouldn't work at all for things like phone upstream, satelite downstream. The IP's of the phone connection are different and not in the same network. Also a lot of other networks are and can be designed to use asyncronous links depending on the traffic.
Except Atlantis is not the same as those other myths. Atlantis was a morality play written by Plato to show Socrates idea of civil order and an ideal state, not a story to keep telling the kids years from now like The Illid and the Odyssey. The Atlantian stories were philosphical in nature and not a hyped report of current events, religon, or events. Plato was discussing events that occured some 8,000 years before the current Athens and described a war between Athens and Atlantis. Athens just simply didn't exist at this time and was known at the time not to be that old. And a story this cool would of been retold many, many times and in many different forms. The age of the story was given in the story by Plato who got it from some Egyptian Mystic. But with this information there should be references here and there about it, but there isn't a peep about it until Timaeus and Critias and not much afterwards until relatively modern times. And then add the fact that there is no real credibale evidence of a Atlantis Civilization. (There was evidence other stories, etc, of a Troy and a Minoa before the ruins were found.) Looking for Atlantis is finding connections were no exist.
The conclusion authors create stories to make a point. You don't think every author today bases his/her books on things that actually happened or did happen. Sometimes its just a story and they're not much there to be cracked.
The miniseries was more off from the book than the movie. It started off so well and then just took a left turn somewhere near Fresno. Never really recovered.
Even with timeouts, they're nothing in PPPoE that prevents a server from being run on the other end. It's just a connection, like everything else. If the ISPs are handling it different, go else where.
You can still run servers from PPPoE and even servers from PPP over POTS. You have a routable address.

Whould you complain if they didn't protect your system from government hackers in China? In France? Working for the UN? These are government agents and if you're systems weren't protected from them from security that you bought then you'd be really pissed. You pay for security companies to protect you. Your analogy of the security gaurd is flawed. A security guard will stop a Federal agent and verify his search warrent and then see to it that the warrent is not executed incorrectly. He's there to protect your stuff and your rights. He'll also notify you the police were there, why they were there and what occured. Electronic security companies are breaking the trust of the person who bought the software. One would expect that the software prevents all intrusions. If it does not then the software is flawed. Allowing back doors is considered bad software design, I don't see how this situation changes the rules of software design.
Government agencies have no reason to "crack" a system, if they're really interested they can get a search warrent and examine the system. The search and ceasure laws were designed to put all government investigative action in public view. Secret searches cannot be justified. If there is no good way to get the passwords for the keys, then the government is SOL. So they don't have one piece of evidence, I hope that the evidence that they do have would be more than just bits on a hard drive.

I don't think that you can surf the web. Just because they use Ethernet and IP does not mean that they are connected to the Internet at large. Taking into account that this system handles lots of credit card orders (even encrypted) it would make more sense if the entire system was on its own isolated network.
From information available PPPoE, even though wrapped, is still has a smaller header size than DOCSIS. PPPoE has a header of 24 bytes and a payload of between 0-1492 bytes, while DOCSIS has a header of
31 bytes at minimum ( with a max of 266 bytes ) and a packet size 0-1500 bytes. Which if taken to maximum with maximum packets sizes all the time is 98.4% for PPPoE and between 98.0% and 84.9% percent depending on the header size. (As packet sizes decrease the difference between the two systems INCREASE). This means even with PPPoE DSL lines you are using more bps for real data than on a DOCSIS cable modem system. Of course this analysis assumes that error rates are non-existant for both and that traffic comming from both nodes is at the same level. (The traffic levels is a safe assumption in this case, but error rates of DSL would probably be less than DOCSIS since it's collisions do no occur within the system, but at the head node. DOCSIS occurs at transmission because of contention on the line.) You webserver and mail will probably not perform as well if they were using the full line speed of the cable modem, but this is due to limitations on the upstream speed and not the frame size or frame overhead. If the server isn't being constantly slammed there will be little to no difference. But since you can never tell until you run the system you're
millage may vary.
In the case of cable companies raising their rates, capitalism doesn't work because there is no real competition between companies. Every company has a local monopoly. The best way to deal with it is to try to get the local muni to force changes on the company at the renewal of the contract. It's so indirect it never really works.
Arthur C. Clarke did not talk about satellites in his novels per say but in an article in 1945. He later wrote about it in a non-fiction book called "Profiles of the Future". Which was funny to read the revised edition because he basicly says this chapter is no longer the future since we already have these satellites.
What would a smart criminal do? Don't use a computer and don't write anything down. Do everything orally in person, then it's all hersay in the courts. Makes the government work harder. That what I would do if I was a criminal. Why make the FBI's job easy?

Iraq is not fundamentalist. They are dictitorial and have a major "cult of personality" problem, but they are not as fundamentalist as Iran or even as Saudi Arabia. They're dangerous because the center of power is completely power hungry and all around crazy, not because of religious influences. They're used as a cover to get support from others to help Iraq.
Nor anything essential for you to conduct a full and happy life. Why do you need detailed information about the structure of the Hoover Dam, for crissake?
You might live down stream from the dam and want to know the possiblity/probablity of complete collaspe if some nut wanted to ram a plane into it. I really doubt that nut would want that information at all, or even most of the information being removed.
There is legitmate reasons about wanting data about things near where you live or want to live. Would you like to know that a chemical plant exchanges its water near where the cities intake is? Most of this information was used to calculate risks in areas and to know who is doing what. Taking it away does nothing to really help national security, but does everything to pervent people from being informed about what the government and others are doing to the communities in which they live.
