Much of the rhetoric of OBL and clan you use to justify is after the fact of the invasion in Afghanistan. Wouldn't you be a little resentful if your (host) country was invaded and your so called freedom fighters killed.
Contrary to popular belief, they only block by IP, not content.
Encrypted traffic is generally slower, which I assume is to discourage it's use. Switching to alternative ports pretty much fixes the problem in most cases. However it complicates things with VPN. I found both PPTP and IPSec based VPNs work equally sluggish.
Additionally international traffic in general is 5-10x slower than domestic. A typical DSL service where you can achieve 200-300KB/s, will typically yield 20KB/s, just enough for VOIP or fetching your corp email with attachments sanely. Reporters are going to have fun adjusting to this, however I found Hotel offering performed marginally better than private DSL.
One of the bigger hurdles, is its hard to obtain a fixed IP without significant expense. Many providers ask for a bond to be placed, to offset costs of getting the IP unblocked for breach of AUP. The typical work arounds of using Dynamic DNS providers don't work as they are blocked. I found only a couple of smaller DDNS player that did work, but don't use web based clients.
Other than the above you can nearly work around any problem, you just need to be prepared to put in extra effort/time to achieve things we take for granted with Western ISPs.
There been a major shift in open media reporting in China post the Earthquake. Under the old rule, you wouldn't have heard much in the west about the earthquake, yet they let many western media outlets into the country to report widely on the relief efforts. Many of the local I spoke to were very surprised at the amount of openness by officials in front of the camera.
WOW... only just come back from China a couple of months ago and I can openly say that's not true. I witnessed many nationals openly practising Christian religions in public parks, handing out material to other locals.
Post the earth quake there were even more Christian organisations out raising money for victims.
I too were surprised by this, but your assertion is no longer true.
Sadly it wouldn't. That time past long ago. China's domestic market is greater than its export market. Any boycott would have minimal impact. Basically we've create a monster with all that capital injection.
Ah sysprep vs winnt32...Don't forget the good old HAL issues, where you need 3 or 4 images to cover all architectures and MS refuses to support switching of HAL with one image, even though it's possible.
Seriously... You should look at BDD with SMS. It uses a combo of winnt32 to setup your images and the create per architecture sysprep images.
This won't float unless they bundle it with the next generation GPU. AGEIA haven't been able to get traction with a dedicated card and neither will nVidia, unless a heap of games support it overnight.
Couldn't happen fast enough. While EA's quantity of quality direction exists, it drains the available pool of money for smaller operations. EA also lock out competing products with exclusive content licensing deals. Despite better game engines existing, competition suffers. Just think of the NFS situation. For years no other game developer could use any of the top supercars in their games, due to EA exclusively licensing them.
In many respects EA is like the RIAA. Old business sticking to what made them rich, but can't see the train at the end of the tunnel. As a poster above summed it up, [Famous person][and|or][sport] 200X are growing old on gamers. For every original game EA puts out they make 10 sequels.
With things like Steam, smaller developers can access larger audiences and don't need to sign away huge sums of profit share for distribution.
Awww Come on... Don't Knock "Peter" the Bogan. They guy is a great actor. Many outside the US probably aren't aware of his legendary Aussie acting career prior to his popularity. He started off doing comedy show skits. Hulk was a sh1t movie all over. No actor could have made it better.
Here's a real old clip from a comedy show, taking the piss out what we call bogans (aka Trailer park trash) is Aus.
Buzzz!!! Wrong!!! MS Killed Netware when they sabotaged the RPC's/API in SAMMGR.DLL, that NDS for Windows NT used. This was the product that was going to make ADS obsolete. It did more and far better than ADS today. It basically was a SAM replacement and you didn't need to use the Win32 or VLM Clients. Hence Novell had to change strategy and continue with the (agreed) bloaty clients.
Novell subsequently took MS to over the Word Perfect and other antitrust issues (as above) and settled for $536,000,000 US. However the game was well won by MS at this late stage.
Licensing fees to use maps on display sizes larger than the commonly available TomTom and PDA's is expensive. Why it's like that...Who knows? But this is just one of a few stumbling blocks why TomTom and Destinator are refusing to support platforms that they can't guarantee maximum display size.
I followed this thread, while becoming an assurer for CA cert. Long read, but worth it to understand the complexities in getting "trusted".
Essentailly theres a lot of hoops to jump through and at 1st glance seems excessive. But in reality it's necessary to keep the system from becoming redundant.
Hardly a precedent. The Extraditee was accused of murdering another US citizen. If it were a local that was murdered, I doubt any cooperation from the righteous US of A would be forth coming.
Any attack made by the rest of the world against our country would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. Our country is now the ultimate power in the universe...errr...I mean..world.
I noticed this just last week. The forums went offline and there hasn't been hardly any moderator updates made to correct the mistakes in the IP DB.
Many of the mistakes can be put down to them assuming whois.sc IP location is current, when in fact much of it's historical.
I was getting frustrated trying to get a couple of updates done, but there are 100's of mislabelled/ named IP ranges yet to be addressed. It's now obvious why nothing was being done.
If the blocklist isn't going to be updated regularly and with reasonable accuracy, then there's not much point to it.
As the article states time to source your blocklist elsewhere...Just another CDDB type fiasco.
Yes... not only can you boot from other removable media, but RAM disk too.
There's two flavours at the moment. ISO based readonly RAM Disk and the SDI based ReadWrite version. I find the latter the better, as it you don't need a secondary RAM Disk to get things like WMI working etc. The above images ISO/SDI images can be loaded over TFTP (F12 - PXE Network boot), CD, HD, USB, or any other bootable media, for real speedy XP. Oh, once the RAM disk is loaded you can remove the boot media too.:)
On a side note there also a SYSLINUX patch http://remile.free.fr/syslinux/, (Needs a bit more work) that will load SDI images. Currently only works with XPe, so not no WinPE Minint functionality, but it's almost there.
The Tel$tra breakup is not so much a split of copper and dialtone/switched services, but rather a retail and wholesale breakup. Telstra already wholesales copper/dialtone/switched services, but currently give much better pricing to it's own retail divisions. Hence the split is about evening up the playing field for all retailers, even Telstra's own retail arm.

Your government is out of control. Perfect timing. This will get zero media attention.
I think you'll find the parent is referring to a hosted PBX setup where SIP reinvites are used.
What no bail out? Can't we just print more money?
"Leaders twist the truth all the time. "
Counting on documents like this being kept secret.
Confessions + torture != fact.

From your link...
"Bush is still deceiving you and hiding the truth from you and therefore the reasons are still there to repeat what happened," he said.
If you actually read your reference, he metaphorically uses the word towers.(Paraphrasing from article)
"we should destroy towers in America" because "we are a free people..."
Sadly just another media beat up and far from a direct admission, but just the same anti-American rants of the past.
I bet this translated speech is contained in the leaked documents.
