Good to see that you consider the Constitution of the United States to be PC fluff. no, the constitution is what allows me to presume guilt, and to state opinion of guilt w/o due process. It also prevents me/others from (legally) doing harm to those who who are presumed guilty.
> Ah, I didn't realize you were a sad little bigot. My mistake! I guess you leave your junk unlocked in white neighborhoods? Good luck with that! as a mater of fact, I have not locked my house doors in 5 years, or locked the doors to any vehicle on my property (and I do have hispanic neighbors too.) I reguarly visit super walmart in other parts of the City without locking my doors with no problems to date. And have thousands of dollars of easily movable tools regauarly left in the open. I did lock my vehicle in that neighborhood to return to broken out locks, and meaningless crap stolen before. really many times locks/alarms I don't consider worth the time/effort, but not entering/staying in those areas with valuables is considered wise by all. I did choose to include race in my post because it does matter to the criminal elements (especially in AZ) as to their choice in victims, and in who is allowed to be their accomplice... But it definitely has little to do with race/culture than the environment that these particular criminals are immersed. And yes I use the term criminals loosely, thats my constitutional right.
>Maybe he's innocent (and we have to presume that he is) fooey, that seams to be what the P.C. crowd here thinks has to be said. When that nigerian whats a $50 to free his $10 million property, do I have to assume he is innocent until proven guily by taking my money? only within the criminal courtroom do we have to assume some innocence. Heck they better have presented some proof that he was guilty before they grabbed and locked him up, so I am going to assume him guilty (perhaps of some complete B.S. charge) until otherwise found. And when I pull into that hispanic neighborhood in Tucson with the highest property crime rate in the city, I am going to assume they are all guilty of planning to steal my property, and secure it the best way I can, I don't care how incorrect the P.C. police think that is.
> would have got rid of their crashing, malware prone MS desktops years ago I don't think thats a good analogy. The typical highschool/college students of today have figured out how to share music,etc because the results only affect them. They don't deal with chaging the PC operating system, because they are not allowed to, and understand (correctly or incorrectly) that for a job they have to learn to deal with windows. They won't need to learn to deal with DRM in the workplace unless they are a disc jockey of some sort.
> genuinely come across to me as someone who would rather see people DIE as in DEAD than have one single person's phone call monitored that shouldn't have been.
I don't care about my phone (currently anyway) and gov't intrusion. I don't like it when they use the records they have to silence reporters and any other opposition they have. Also to have something of so much value held so secret.
IE if you have traceability of what/when/how something of so much value is accessed, thats one thing. When it is considered so important to hide, that all leaks/misuse has to be hidden at all cost, then any corrupt (or possibly corrupt) person with access can't be investigated, and can't be harshly disciplined because they might disclose the asset...
After all their are people (many people) reportedly selling a months worth of one persons phone records for over $100. how much would all the records of everyone for years be worth? Were probably talking about a asset with a potential value of billions being diddled with by hundreds of people, in complete secrecy, and already some of those people are known to be corrupt.

> Agreed, VOD rocks, but how would Netflix deliver the content? is VOD codeword for greater than average number of pay-per view selections? because I have been to hotels that have a decent VOD selection, but they got a relatively small audience dedicating 2 dozen channels to VOD works for them.
I have been with directtv for several years, their PPV selection is not bad, but it is nothing compared to the selection at the video store. and the selection at the video store, is nothing compared to the selection from netflix. Granted with the TIVO, I can delay my PPV selection to later, but if I have to wait a hour for the next PPV of a limited selection, that is not VOD.
Lesson learned. NOBODY gets direct access to my bank accounts. EVER. hmmm, so you don't pay anything with checks, or deposit any checks into your bank account? then why have one? you do realize, your checks have your account number, bank routing info... so do the back of every check that your bank deposits into your account, so if you cash a check you recieve, it is then imprinted on the back of their check, everything they need to print checks to take money out...
I could see how having a signed release would make the bank hesitate to take action, especially after you probably admitted to giving that away (either by phone, or by not disputing earlier withdraws.
basically a credit card would give a firewall against the huckster, so would a second bank account... but besides changing banks every 2 weeks, and minimizing the number of direct transactions, your going to have to give access to your account, or stay all cash.
I do wonder if the online billpay is a bank check, so they just know the bank info, not your account, or if they cut a equivilent to a old style check with your account info.
>Yes, but that would be blatently illegal should a "friend" decide to "borrow" said disk in lieu of renting it himself. perhaps a copyright violation, really more a gray area, if he doesn't charge the friend... Doubtfull thry are making a exact copy, more of a reduced quality, reduced content copy to the smaller disk. if you read the copyright laws, it would be blantent if it is a exact copy of the entire disk, and is sold or redistibuted for some compenstaion. but a partial copy for private person enjoyment is all a gray area in the copyright laws. >why would I pay the monthly rental fee instead of simply downloading them in the first place? Known quality of product. I personally have a HD surround sound divx player with hard disk, and netflix. I save my movies their until I get a chance to view. I know when I rip them the bit rate, and surround sound, and codecs work perfectly with my player. I would have no problems sharing with other movie subscription members sense the biggest un-availabilty issue is just in shipping time, you have paid for rights to access a set library of movies for a set period of time. I never watch more than my subscription quota - shipping time. so this is just a way to overcome current transportation issues, and time convience issues.
>actually made a "four by four" machine, instead of just making up a nonsense term I completely agree with your post. but I will point out a 4x4 pickup has 4 driving wheels out of 4 wheels, and a 2x4 has 2 driving wheels out of 4. so a 4x4 processor (uses a stupid analolgy but..) has room for 4 cores, all 4 supplied. so the 2x4 would be a dual core in one slot, or 2 single cores thus room for 4 "cores" but only 2 supplied thus 2x4. the 8x8 thus the first 8 describes the number of "cores", the second 8 would describe a board having room for 8 "cores."
> much less power to detonate it than to shoot down an airliner.
hmmm, was it "debt of honor", where they just shoot the laser into the pilots eyes, blinding him, making any plane piolet-less at landing (they got the ILS turned off, but mostly only the really big planes have that.)
may take less power for a detonation, but a smaller target moving faster, you get much less time also (ie need much higher power, but for a shorter time.)
also their are game cheat code add-ons already. someone will figure out a way to pack the signature for a 1000 different games, load one cd once, then you could play all old games without activation. I would hope this wouldn't fall under dmca, since it is not breaking any copy protection.
What company is going to advertise where no one will see their advertisement?
same answer given everytime this subject comes up. You make advertisements people want to watch. heck I have even paused the GE comericials that have just a few frames for the DVR people to pause on. I even pull the Harbor freight, and compUSA adds out of the sunday paper. I think DVR's will become the new AID to increase advertising. After all when all have HD DVR's they can put 1800 pages of decent resolution text on my TV in a 30 second comercial, that seams like alott more value for advertisers if they just put the info people want enough to look at it in their.
I'm worried about allowing software on to the network that I can't monitor and disable at will
makes me wonder what position you have in the company, your apperently not in senior leadership, but seams you want to be the one in control of everyone/everything. get a fish, I understand they like to be shut in, and locked up!
I understand why management may need to lock down immature/undereducated users who don't have self disciplin... because they don't have the balls to handle them directly. I prefer they be demoted to a job/pay grade for the work they accomplish, but not to fill the position of corporate police, when even management doesn't want that job filled.
personally, I want them to have plenty of bandwith available to users, and let them run every application they need, with minimial effort (from me) as possible. When upper management decides too much solitary/whatever is being played, etc, etc and they ask for this stuff to be done, I do it. But who wants to make others as miserable as possible?
> How about we teach people how to actually write and spell to begin with?
I agree, but if they would ditch all the "excepetions" in grade school today, since the language is defined by useage it would be corrected in our lifetime. you know keep the "i before e except after c unless it sounds like a" type rules, but fix words like "codeine, conscience, deify, deity" to name a few that dont follow the rules, and for no good reason (I assume anyway.)
> Imagine going to the gas pumps, and having to pay more for gas, because you're a pizza delivery guy, and you're making money off of that gas. having just filled up with diesel at a truck stop today, their is definitely a pay more for gas if your a comercial vehicle, instead of a non-comercial. Granted it is only a tax difference. Well that exists on your internet transactions today, and is un-addressed by net-neutrality.
Personally my concern is not charging different prices for internet access, thats a given, and not part of the net-neutrality discussion, to my understanding. Isn't the question asked by net neutrality wether people/companys have to be prepared to pay money to middle men based on where your data traveled? Basically, can someone legally hijack my voip traffic, and hold it for a ransom. Also their is a apparent want to save long distance type tolls. They want me to risk a huge bill if I launch bit-torrent/any-other server and it gets accessed from the wrong location.
> since, absent war, these kinds of policy decisions can take a long time to formulate. Thus, if any administration did prompt this, it would have been Clinton.
you missed the whole continuation. Their is definitly a pattern of continuation from Bush Sr's admininstration, which was a continuation of Regan... So if this follows a presidental request, it seams highly improbable that the Clinton whitehouse would push forward the plan to give the excutive branch more power, knowing full well the circumstances of the following admin were to be. It seams much more likely that this was a plan carry-over from Bush Sr's days but were too worried that it would be given to a executive branch they didn't like.
Don't confuse me with a clinton supporter, I think the missing checks in the 2 party system, is that they know all the power the opposing party grabs will eventually be passed back to your party. Theirfore they like to expose these policys, get the other party to defend it (if they look a little bad, perfect) so that it is well establshed for them to use, and build on when the pendulum swings back to the democrats. (after all, all of the talk of whatever evil is happening comes around eventually to, do we need to change the laws to legalize it.)
> But the fact is only about 20% are assholes and some cops can become assholes by assholes.
ummm, 20% is not a "only" it's gotta be a embarrsing number to ya? (but about true in my best guess) , granted it isn't 99% (in the places I have experience.)
I have probably encounted 20 on duty cops, for a net total of 16 nice cops for 5 minutes each. one complete ass cop, with no clue of the law for a hour. and 3 jerks with attitudes for 15 minutes each. thats 80 minutes of positive re-enforcement, and 105 of negative. (oh take 15 minutes of that * 10 because I was soo mad that I was on the verge of hunting that bastard down after duty, luckily I cooled. Was after he mistook me for a ex-felon he had a run in with the same name.)
I do wish most jurors had the experience I had, because you would know that cops would tend to give tickets/arrests only to people they think are guilty. So when they get into court, they say whatever it takes to get the person convicted, because they already "know" their guilty. Before my experience it was a "why would the cop care he's not involved" So (at least some lie first to overcome the posibility that the defendent would also by dishonest later.)
I have turned in over 5 cops who have violated peoples rights.
was any ill effect handed to those 5? Seams judges don't care/don't respond to a dishonest officer. Actually had the judge tell me he knew (and could have easily proven) the cop was lyeing on my way out of the court, after finding me guilty of 1 of 4 (driving related) charges. Thinking it would make me feel better.
probably if the system punished the bad officers, instead of rewarding just on stuff like convictions... Perhaps the officers wouldn't go bad so often, or at least would get pushed out more.

Most people have less bandwidth for uploading than downloading. So yes, the swarm speed will go down.
Once the original downloaders are no longer downloading, their upload speed is much, much greater than their download speed.
actually if we make the assumption everyone keeps the torrent up until their share ratio is >= 1:1 the available download speed must go up over time not down.
IE, their will constantly be more sources providing the content. Example if all finish with a share ratio exactly 1:1 - 2 weeks after the torrent was released, it would mean that the average speed of the orignial seeder must be maintained. So if the original seeder seeds at 800 MB/s, and the average client was uploading at 40 MB/s for the first week, then the average downloaders downloaded speed would have to be 1560 MB/s the next week to average things out.
that is also assuming the original seed shutdown after sharing the movie exactly once, and no bits that were corrupt/lost are counted. So if the original seeder continues sharing, and average ratios exceed 1:1 available download speeds should spiral upwards over time regardless of the size of the individuals upload pipe.
Higher capacitance doesn't make for all that much loss. It's the heat from the resistive losses
True enough for DC voltages. however with AC voltages, any resistance between the capacitor and the inducter is greatly multiplied. IE you will have a ringing current passing between the capacitor and inductor, and that ringing will pay the price to resistance every pass. so if the capacitance is spread out over hundreds of miles, away from the inductance, you will have huge increases in resistive losses because of that distance. So although your power supply never see that current, it will have to compensate for the extra resisitve losses.
LEAST expensive cable was $39 for a standard 6' cable!!! WTF?
you needed to be more observent. They typically carry a usb hub, with 1 or 2 (cheap) USB cables included for $10.
simular situation to you, I wanted a hub and 3 cables, I walked out with a 2 hubs and 4 cables for under $20 ($10 hub was on sale for $5, usb1 close-out but usb2 hub was also under $15, but what you said was also 100% true, the cheapest standalone cable was around ~$40)

probably if the system punished the bad officers, instead of rewarding just on stuff like convictions... Perhaps the officers wouldn't go bad so often, or at least would get pushed out more.
> what about my rights to privacy? .22 cal, .44 cal, or .50 cal, because a single application is all it takes.
well, if you put this in your car, you can delete the photos, their yours.
if this isn't the case, well you don't know when/if a picture was taken, illusion preserved.
>what about restricted areas
these restricted areas, are people with photographic memories allowed to drive past as well? if so, then they must already be recorded.
> what about my medication battling my paranoia?
The FBI has many permanent treatment options, do you prefer it in
Once the original downloaders are no longer downloading, their upload speed is much, much greater than their download speed.
actually if we make the assumption everyone keeps the torrent up until their share ratio is >= 1:1 the available download speed must go up over time not down.
IE, their will constantly be more sources providing the content. Example if all finish with a share ratio exactly 1:1 - 2 weeks after the torrent was released, it would mean that the average speed of the orignial seeder must be maintained. So if the original seeder seeds at 800 MB/s, and the average client was uploading at 40 MB/s for the first week, then the average downloaders downloaded speed would have to be 1560 MB/s the next week to average things out.
that is also assuming the original seed shutdown after sharing the movie exactly once, and no bits that were corrupt/lost are counted. So if the original seeder continues sharing, and average ratios exceed 1:1 available download speeds should spiral upwards over time regardless of the size of the individuals upload pipe.
True enough for DC voltages. however with AC voltages, any resistance between the capacitor and the inducter is greatly multiplied. IE you will have a ringing current passing between the capacitor and inductor, and that ringing will pay the price to resistance every pass. so if the capacitance is spread out over hundreds of miles, away from the inductance, you will have huge increases in resistive losses because of that distance. So although your power supply never see that current, it will have to compensate for the extra resisitve losses.
you needed to be more observent. They typically carry a usb hub, with 1 or 2 (cheap) USB cables included for $10.
simular situation to you, I wanted a hub and 3 cables, I walked out with a 2 hubs and 4 cables for under $20 ($10 hub was on sale for $5, usb1 close-out but usb2 hub was also under $15, but what you said was also 100% true, the cheapest standalone cable was around ~$40)
