...if the end result of ECN is that ECN clients are slower than non-ECN clients...
They should be faster. With ECN you get notices rather than drops thus eliminating retransmits. The reason for turning ECN off is buggy routers that drop packets with ECN set. I wonder how many of those are still out there, though.
Fix the software to use appropriate queueing algorithms. Large buffers can improve performance but they are not compatible with simple tail-dropping algorithms.
>...our environment which has 1/50 the oxygen they are used to?
lake Vostok has 50 times as much oxygen as the typical freshware lake, not 50 times as much oxygen as the atmosphere. A typical freshwater lake has much, much less oxygen than the atmosphere.
...where N is inversely proportional to the rate at which your huge buffer is filling. This will provide some differential feedback and help stabilize your loop. This is just a hand-waving idea I pulled out of the air, of course, but it indicates what you can do if you learn control theory and apply it to the problem (you want queueing theory as well but I assume you already know that as a network engineer).
This would be easier if everyone would enable ECN.
Then one night I got throw out of bed by something unseen. My girlfriend was already awake (she had been hearing footsteps around the bed). I guess we're both mad.
Yes, the same people that run our government are the same noobs who click fake eCards and run random.exe files attached to emails.
Yes, because the people that run our government are human. There exists no way to select superhumans to give power to nor any way to arrange for those who acquire power to become superhuman. People with political power suffer from all the failings and foibles of those without [1], which is why we should be wary of giving anyone power no matter how persuasive the argument for doing so. He governs best who governs least because he is human.
[1] But they don't really suffer because they tend to be shielded from the consequences of their actions, thus leading them farther astray. People do not abuse political power because they are inhuman: quite the contrary.
> you do NOT buy the software, you buy a licence to use the software
You buy a copy of the software. The "EULA" is not a license. It is a contract. In the USA you do not need any sort of license to use or dispose of a copy you own. However, you can enter into a contract in which you agree to restrictions on what you do with the copy as a condition of sale. That is what the "EULA" is.

Despite the fact that there are only three of us here who have seen an actual Burma Shave sign.
The freezing point is not dependent on pressure.
Looks like there is some good research in this area and some queue management algorithms that apply control theory. All the remains is to deploy them.

And under kilometers of ice: a good place for a neutrino detector.

Or control theory.
More likely you were actually seeing a flash of light. It is not implausible that such an event could produce visible photons.
Sounds more like your girlfriend was mad at you.
The GOP also uses the org TLD and the Democrats also use the com TLD. Check GOP and democrats .
...an objectively testable prediction. If you can't get them to make such a prediction quit wasting your time.

Then get out there, raise it, and put it to that "better use".
Try to imagine some of the things they will be able to do once they get some malware running on your phone.
...are looking forward eagerly to this.
...that would be "Houston we have an issue".
> And thanks to him this is why we have to have licenses.
Shooting a deer in someone's front yard is trespass and reckless endangerment. Licenses are irrelevant.
> Sorry, wrong. It requires two.
Whereas this French system puportedly requires one every nine inches.
..are now "space technology"?

Since the marginal cost of a copy of Office is zero Microsoft's "profit margin" is meaningless. What counts is return on investment.
Congratulations. You just made your manager hate you.
Many plants contain toxins intended to discourage animals from eating them. That's one of the reasons you have a liver.
