Sometimes I wonder what will the MPAA/RIAA/GEMA/etc. do, when all file-sharers are locked up in prison, all music and film is DRM-restricted, CD sales are still declining and nobody goes to see blockbuster movies anymore...
It seems to me that the price of a DVD is not set by the intrinsic value of the product, but the economics of the markets. I mean it used to be a movie cost $50 or more retail. It was not that the movie was worth that much.
There is no such thing as the intrinsic value of a product. (At least not in a sufficiently free market.) No product is worth any absolute value. If you think a movie is worth 50 bucks, it means you'd rather have the movie than fifty bucks (or at least you wouldn't care whether you have $50 or the DVD.)
So it shouldn't surprise you that the price of a product is determined by the market and not by some mysterious intrinsic value.

When I was 17 I was...umm......creating a hotmail account. So there!
When I was 17, it was a very good year. It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights. We'd hide from the lights. On the village green. When I was 17.
UDP isn't safe, so you'd have to implement half of TCP anyway (re-transmit, maybe sequence numbers and windows)
Unless, of course, you don't care in which order you receive your datagrams or whether some got lost on the way.
Anyway, I wasn't trying to say that I think SCTP is crap or unneccessary or anything. It's just that I can't come up with a concrete situation, where SCTP would be the perfect protocol to use. Since you said SCTP is a protocol you have always wanted, I assumed you had a specific application in mind where UDP+Reliability or TCP+Frames would be the way to go but a hassle to implement.
This is what I always wanted, but never had the time or resources to develop...
What for? Could you give a specific example of an application where such a protocol would be needed? (That is where using TCP or UDP would require a severe overhead in the application layer.)
If you have always wanted such a protocol, you certainly must have had a specific use in mind.
To my knowledge, Israel occupies the West Bank for strategic military reasons, and not for any "tribal myths." What "tribal myths" are you talking about?
I'm talking about the reason why Israel was established where it was established after the Second World War. To create a jewish state on some of the western part of the Arabic peninsula was based on the story of the Exodus, among others. The fact that Israel exists at all and that exists in that specific geographical location is rooted in jewish faith.
Please don't get me wrong. I don't want to turn this into an argument about whether Israel has a right to exist or anything like that. I just want to point out, that violence comitted by jews in Palestine is based on religious believes. Even if religious beliefs are not always the direct motivation for violent acts comitted by the Israeli army or by jewish settlers, the ultimate underlying justification for what they do is religious.
There's a difference between what's going on on the West Bank and what the Muslims are doing.
Yes.
What Israel is doing is the work of an elected government in a conflict over a piece of land.
In my eyes that makes it terrorism executed by a state.
While the nation is predominately Jewish, it is still a secular government with freedom of religion. There is even an Arab voting block in Israel...if you pay attention to Israeli politics, you'll see manuevers designed to "court the Arab vote."
You are right. (If one was to falsely counter this argument one could say that Iran has a jewish representative in its parliament, though it is obvious that no one in Iran caters to a "jewish block".)
What the Israeli government does is motivated predominately by secular concerns (land, resources, defense)
But the land and the resources are claimed by the Israeli government because of some tribal myths that jews hold to be the truth. And although Israel might be a state with freedom of religion, you must admit that Israel as such is based only on the jewish religion. Being a jew makes you automatically eligible for Israeli citizenship, right?
What the Islamic militants are doing (kidnappings, murders, beheadings, riots) are done by individual Muslims (albiet sometimes with a mob mentality) in the name of their religion. This is a clear distinction.
What the Israeli military and jewish settlers do is ultimately also founded in their religious believes.
I should also qualify my statement about an Islamic reformation. It has happened or is developing in some places. Turkey, for instance, is a secular democracy. Actually, I just returned from a vacation in Egypt yesterday, and while Egypt is an Arab nation, they have a secular government and freedom of religion. 6% of the population is Christian, and they all get along. The people I met (and I met a lot!) are very friendly, and pro-American.
It is similar in Syria (allthough I cannot comment on pro-/anti-American sentiments.) Maybe the Baathist ideology got some things right (yet in practice, an awful lot of things wrong.)

If I don't pay close attention my real desktop becomes a mess within seconds. Why would I want my computer to be the same?
I want the computer to organize my stuff for me - not replecating the awful mess the real world is.

Done. Now what?
In Windows you can close any tab via middle mouse button click. Otherwise right click -> Close Tab works also.
TeX might be overkill but there are LaTeX packages for CVs which make it easy to set up your CV once and change it when needed.
Considering how widespread cell phones are one could say humans have allready decided to tag themselves.
