the truth is it costs ISPs a certain amount per gigabyte At what point are they incurring a cost per gigabyte? I used to work commissioning DSL equipment for a CLEC and we just paid for a DS3 (or multiple, if required) that had a monthly charge with no metering. This was a couple of years ago, but has it changed? Seems doubtful.
If you get a T1 or other dedicated circuit, you certainly aren't metered. Why would an ISP be treated any differently?
I was wondering if Slashdot would ever cover this.
These kids were associated with a site that charged for code that you can add to your MySpace profile which would allow you to see who had viewed your profile, when, and where they got to you from (another friend, search, etc). By my calculations they were making upwards of $20,000/month from their service ($5.00/mo with around 4000 users).
They, and other tracker sites, have been constantly battling with MySpace over the use of the "hacks". Most of the stuff they've used has simply taken advantage of bad programming. The first generation of trackers used a flash file in the profile to read users cookie data. Then MySpace forced all embedded flash objects to disallow the use of actionscript. They moved on to inserting javascript in CSS commands, using image files to capture browser info, etc. MySpace responded by blocking the use of certain domains within profiles. They then bought a bunch of different domains and assigned them randomly to users.
Then there was some random legal trouble that they never really talked about but had apparently moved past. The next planned release was supposed to be "unstoppable". They had promised the release for about a week and a half and it was eventually pushed back to May 19. Then they got arrested. The site, myspaceplus.com, switched over to a basic notice about "info coming soon" and that was it. There was a pretty active forum on there but I think people were starting to sense that there was trouble and/or the two owners (who went by Jack and Jake on the site) were skipping town.
Anyway, it's a really interesting phenomenon, especially considering that other services have built in the ability to see who's viewing you as long as you allow others to do the same when you view their profile (Friendster). Most of the tracker sites now are on a similar model where the tracker will only work with other users ot the service.
So, not really "hacking" per se. It seems that MySpace was most worried about people's IP addresses getting stolen. The sites started hashing them so you couldn't see the actual address. Seems like a weird thing to be worried about on the privacy front if you ask me.
I've tried Allmydata in the past and had some success. They use a peer-to-peer system to back your files up. The free plan requires a 10:1 ratio (you share 10 megs, you get 1 meg). Not bad if you have a lot of free drive space sitting there doing nothing. I think it uses bittorrent as its transfer method but I can't remember exactly how it works and the web page is short on details.
I just got the most recent version (1.3) and haven't played with it much but the last one I had a lot of trouble with, sometimes files wouldn't upload, it was hard to tell if the program was actually working or if it had died, and it seemed like it couldn't remember which files I had chosen to persistently back up.
Still in beta though, but interesting if they can get the kinks worked out.
That's exactly why I love last.fm (formerly Audioscrobbler & Last.fm). It automatically tracks what you listen to and then allows that information to be used to give you neighbors in the music world based on what interests you have in common. You can add friends, join groups, and even tag your music. All of this is extremely useful in finding new stuff. They've got plugins for all the major media players (and even some minor ones).
Add on top of that the ability to play a custom-built radio station, set it to play only new music or listen only to music from a particular user profile.
Linux and BSD supported! Open source plugins and radio station player! Could it get better?;)
Hopefully we will see more open access (without requiring payment from authors OR readers!) as libraries and other institutions start to use these great open source tools. It makes management and online publication/archiving really painless. There's even a distributed backup system in place and a group running archiving standards.
As a member of the American Anthropological Association I understand that the journals they publish are supported through subscriber costs which far outweigh the cost of publication. The remaining profit goes to funding the annual conference, administration costs for the association, etc. They have recently made all of the American Anthropologist journals available to members online, a pretty massive project I'm sure.
I think it's important to note that cultural symbols are not akin to culture itself. Japan can export all the anime it likes but that isn't representative of it's entire culture nor will it affect other cultures enough to make them resemble Japanese culture in something other than a superficial way. For example, Japanese corporate structure and the loyalty given to your company (a structural phenomenon) is unlikely to get passed along through its cultural symbols. Just like American structural phenomenon are unlikely to get passed along through our blockbuster movie exports.
In the end, reality is highly individualized and rarely is a culture made up solely of a selective portion of its symbols.

I thought part of the reason that these viruses were so successful was because they installed their own SMTP server on the infected machines. Wouldn't this bypass any type of SMTP server at the ISP level or beyond?
Every one of those damn emails I got had a header that included JOE_BLOW (adsl.xx.xx.xx.xx) as the from server.
While I lived in Los Angeles I thought about a system like this every day during my 45-minute-without-traffic and 1.5-to-3-hour-with-traffic commute (Along with transporters, automatically driven cars, and moving sidewalks). Here's what I wanted it to do:
- Calculate my time of commute based on current traffic conditions and historical data using similar trips (time of day, traffic conditions, weather conditions). Should be able to go back a year for historical information.
- Allow me to program my favorite routes to get to or from work, to the gym, to my girlfriend's place, etc.
- Compare the estimated time of completions of my different routes using method above and allow me to chose which route will be the best as I depart.
- Update route information with current traffic and (this is key) provide alternatives if traffic starts to back up at a given location that is on my planned route.
- Allow me to "steal" the routes of other people who are leaving from my current location and heading to a similar destination.
- Whether I am "stealing" a route from someone else or just travelling in the same direction, let me know how their trip is going to validate traffic sensor data. IE: If someone left my area 15 minutes before I did going in the same direction, use his data to let me know how things are going.
It would also be awesome if this system could handle street traffic. Maybe California should start installing traffic sensors into our beloved road reflectors.
Oh, and while you are at it give me a way to call the cute girl in the car next to me based on her license plate number.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has amended the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) to give consumers a choice about whether they want to receive most telemarketing calls. Consumers soon will be able to put their phone numbers on a national "do not call" registry. It will be illegal for most telemarketers to call a number listed on the registry.
Why don't they make it a value-added service for subscribers only? That should balance the bandwidth by making it 1)not usable by most Slashdot users thus decreasing the bandwidth requirement and 2)if enough users signed up and starting eating massive bandwidth there would be money there to support it.
I agree completely. eDirectory costs $210 for a 100-user license ($10 for media and $200 for the license). The license doesn't expire. You can use it where you want, when you want. So, not including hardware, I can have a setup that runs exactly like Active Directory for $210. To get Active Directory I have to shell out $4,000 for Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Now, both of these are MSRP and I'm sure mass licenses and educational discount make it even cheaper but Novell offers a way to replace everything Microsoft does on the network end. They do it cheaper and they do it better. And ultimately they leave the decision on what to use where up to their customers rather than deciding for them. I just hope enough people realize how good they really are before they die...
I think you need to take a look at Novell's software before stating that Microsoft is the only way to get these features. Especially because eDirectory will run on Solaris and Linux. Novell is one of the best software companies I've had the pleasure of working with. Their licenses are not so much of a hassle as Microsoft's (in the educational world at least). And they are commited to Linux to the point of building a complete application around it. Oh, and that application happens to be BY FAR the best imaging / hardware inventory solution I have ever seen. So, do a little research Mr. FUD "can't get in the unix world".
Is it just me or would this require a massive re-working of the current Open Source system. How do you provide a user with a click-through interface on a tarball? Would you have to distribute source code through a binary just so that you could have an interface for the user to agree to the license? How would the package management/distribution software maintainers respond? How would Open Source OS distributers respond? Contact the maintainers for all pieces of software included in the distribution and get together to have an all-encompasing license?
My personal favorite would be to build a system like Gentoo. It already takes forever to compile the software. But then to wait for the user to interact with each piece as it installs?
Ridiculous. I agree that the Open Source software industry is evolving but I never saw it going in the direction of a massive beuracracy. One of the beautiful things about this software is that it can avoid all of that crap. The industry can turn on a dime. Would it be able to with a requirement like this?

That's the definition of the word given in G. M. Dodge's The Telegraph Instructor even before radio. The definition has never changed in wire telegraphy. The first wireless operators were landline telegraphers who left their offices to go to sea or to man the coastal stations. They brought with them their language and much of the tradition of their older profession.
In those early days, spark was king and every station occupied the same wavelength--or, more accurately perhaps, every station occupied the whole spectrum with its broad spark signal. Government stations, ships, coastal stations and the increasingly numerous amateur operators all competed for time and signal supremacy in each other's receivers. Many of the amateur stations were very powerful. Two amateurs, working across town, could effectively jam all the other operators in the area. When this happened, frustrated commercial operators would call the ship whose weaker signals had been blotted out by the amateurs and say "SRI OM THOSE #&$!@ HAMS ARE JAMMING YOU."
Amateurs, possibly unfamiliar with the real meaning of the term, picked it up and applied it to themselves in true "Yankee Doodle" fashion and wore it with pride. As the years advanced, the original meaning has completely disappeared.
This has been hashed out before on Slashdot (Here). The main competitor seems to be MaxiVision which has been heralded by Roger Ebert. Has some great features: twice the framerate and no huge expenditures. Downsides: requires more film. I don't think anybody is currently making films for this puppy, unfortunately. I was lucky enough to see a sample at their HQ in San Luis Obispo, CA and it is VERY impressive. Having seen AotC on digital I would say they are pretty comparable. I think digital will win out in the end. It seems to have the backing of the big boys...
Not that it makes too much of a difference but the $67.2 billion was revenue for all of Verizon Communications. Verizon Wireless only made ~$4 billion if I remember correctly. $67.2 billion for a wireless provider would be absolutely incredible.

I've been involved with an undergraduate journal at California State University, Monterey Bay for the past couple of years. Just this year we opted to go with an open source journal management system developed and supported by the Public Knowledge Project Open Journal Systems at the University of British Columbia. We're quite happy with it, both from a technical standpoint and the mission of the project. ePrints is another project working on similar issues.
