Sure, they have transparent proxies FOR THEIR RETAIL CLIENTS.
Not for anyone else. Even then most of them don't use the proxies for their "business" plans.
And they don't implement them for "load balencing", they get that (well, as close as you can) for free with BGP. They implement them because it saves money.
This is not about transparent proxies, they only affect unencrypted HTTP traffic. It's about low level QoS (Which should be OK if well implemented) or something more along the lines of the recent Comcast stupidity
Like, say, Andrew Tridgall who at a recent event (linux.conf.au 2008), instead of socialising decided to reverse engineer the Sony eBook reader.
Although the blog post with photos of how he put the RFID in himself was one of the most distrubing things I've ever seen on the internet (I guess because I've worked with him).
If there was a dedicated lane next to existing freeways for slow and steady cargo delivery-separating human drivers from the bot drivers- this could be done today fairly easily I think using similar off the shelf stuff.
Um, yeah, they're called rails and they are generally more efficient then other forms of overland transport.
One meaning of "edgy" is "on edge, unstable" - not the kind of thing you want associated with your OS!
Actually that's exactly *why* it was chosen. It was intended to be the followup to Dapper (6.06 LTS) that included many experimental features like Upstart and Compiz.
VW already have a production car that gets ~80mpg and have had trial cars beat 300mpg in real traffic. Of all the big car companies they're the most likely ones to do this, yet as a big car company the $10m would be far less useful then the promotion.
We have a thriving user group community, with a large lug (LUV) and a big wireless networking group among others, get involved and you will get work out of it if you're good (that's how I got the job I'm writing this at).
No, it follows the FHS not it's own things. Take a look at the wikipedia entry.
It's just that Debian are more anal about following it then most other distros (Ubuntu also inherits this). Debian's strong policy is one of the things which makes Debian so much more maintainable then almost anything else.
I know three local(ish) MySQL employees, and they're all great people who've been pretty much the best at what they do.
So shouts to Arjen Lentz, Stewert Smith and Colin Charles.

Which would cost the charity I'm involved with almost $2k a year, that's well over a month worth of rent and simply an expense that we don't need to pay by using linux.
1) You have to open hundreds of special ports. Which makes forwarding this stuff a nightmare and means you have to open all this crap in your firwall. No. You have to open two. The control port & the data port. The fact that RTP (the data port) is usually set to use any port in a large range is irrelevent.
2) Each company uses different ports. Ports don't seem to be a part of the standard.
No they don't, SIP and H.323 have a standard port, RTP is dealt with a-la the Sun RPC portmapper.
3) The source and destination address are in the data not in the headers (how hard is it to use standard IP source and destination addresses?) Which makes any system with NAT a real pain when it should just be transparent, it should just work.
This is becuase the two connections (data & control) may be to two totally different machines. eg a PBX that doesn't handle media would result in two phones with the data connection between each other and a control connection to the PBX.

Oh really?
What's this then?
(For the lazy "HP provides diverse support services for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system on selected HP ProLiant and HP BladeSystem servers")
But we have geekier people.

Except Upstart has been in Ubuntu since IIRC 6.10, nothing has even changed about the design.
I think you're referring to Kryten in Red Dwarf, not Data from Star Trek TNG.
Google do seem to be trying.
Oh, and is your nick any relation to the fumbling "Vought Aircraft Industries" who have almost single-handedly screwed Boeing's 787 program?
ITYM "the thugs in the scallop industry" for "entrenched fishing interests"
Um, yeah, they're called rails and they are generally more efficient then other forms of overland transport.
And both take an infinite amount of money.
You've forgotten Bob Hawke, who else (well, ok the US has Clinton and W) had a leader who held drinking records AND got away with a public affair?
You already don't.
Look at things like debian's module-assistant.
When used for encryption that doesn't work:
A = your key
B = their key
X = message
Pass 1: AX
Pass 2: ABX
Pass three: BX
AX XOR ABX = B
B XOR BX = X
They might think it was in honour of The Stig from Top Gear.

Some Fujitsu laptops can run off PoE. Don't know if they can carge properly, or run without a battery, but you can at least extend their life.
Saw that I got no connection so I just disconnected.

Er, PS3 has DVI in the form of HDMI, they're signal compatible and straight pin adaptor cables are easy to find.
