The interesting thought I kind of gathered from the article was that because anyone could be a "bouncer" node, a user could be directly connected to a user and downloading the file, but be pretending to forward the packets elsewhere.
The idea of falsely fowarding packets to other people makes it more interesting too. Kind of like the oxymoron of useful crapflooding.
So, kind of the attempt to have "carrier" status, even though that seems weak in this situitation.
Instead of modding you overrated (or even troll for that matter), I chose to reply.
So, when things effect you, it will not be something that is "shit," nor will it be a complaint, it will be something that they MUST do.
There's people "complaining" about DRM. There's people "complaining" about yahoo vs google for e-mail.
Someone could have an extra twenty minutes on the train, or a traveler might want to find weather for her destination. There are scenarios where even finding a terminal takes longer than it would to find it on a cell phone.
Just because you don't use it doesn't mean it's useless.
I just went to bankofamerica and found that if I used the "Sign In" link on the top right, then selected online banking that the sign in would be on a secure site.
AOL did allow creation of AOL screen names to become AIM names, which allowed some people to escape AOL but keep their popular IM. They didn't expire when the AOL account was canceled as well.
What I am thinking is: why would they screw up again? As a few surmised, why would free webmail necessarily have the same domain as current AOL mail?
Keeping people locked in via an e-mail address is much more effective than IM.
The first thing earthlink asked me when I was canceling was "what about your e-mail addresses?"
I would be very surprised if the free webmail would allow for @aol.com.
What proof do you have though that those IP addresses are actually sharing files?
Hypothetically, what if an announcer randomly injected IP addresses from another popular site they ran into the torrent files? The only way to confirm that a user actually is sharing the file is to download it.
That is why actual connection to a peer is more definitive.
I use a street that has a wide right lane, but I ALWAYS take the lane at a light because drivers will unsafely cut me off to make a right turn. If I am in the middle of the lane, they can't just try to weave past me.
Staying closer to the center near driveways/uncontrolled cross streets also helps to combat the very common accident involving the "California stop."
I'm doing it for my safety, not to inconvience you.
Watching the show Airline on A&E is a great example of that same kind of aspect. "What do you mean I'm 20 minutes late?! I need to get on that plane [insert drunk hiccup here]!
I'm never buying another ticket from southwest again!"
It always seems that everyone thinks something corporate is trying to suck them dry, but the truth is its a two-edged sword: We need to be happy as customers, and they need to turn a profit.
Just whatever hat you appear to wear at the time dictates whether you feel for the customer, or for the poor soul that has to tell someone that their part is still on backorder, or that your baggage got lost...
I thought that was the whole thing behind making people either take the rebate or return it. Most rebates require an original UPC, and I assumed most retailers want something back that they can resell.
Or is that when the whole "fitness of goods" type thing comes in (spurious missing capicator anyone?).
I loved the AP Bio test. I wrote with no right-hand margin and with fillerless sentences. In pretests had a high enough keyword count for a 5 in somewhere between half and two-thirds of a page! I can say at least that my sentences were coherent and did make sense though.
... to join their "honors" program and make their student body look more aptitudinous [sic].
I can attest to this, I received a full scholarship for computer science (and I am one of 2 for computer science, out of 23 in this program for the university). Not the pay for part, except for most of the books.
I'm sure another filter could be used before the magnet to ensure that only their particles are pulled out. This shows that a red blood cell is 10um(10^-6), while the particle size is somewhere between 100 and 5000 nm(10^-9m), or.1 to 5um.
The article mentioned not being too worried about getting 100% of the particles out anyway, so I think there is some wiggle room with another filter.
I know that if you are using windows xp's zero configuration thing, you can set the priority of networks through advanced properties. If it is working only though the wireless chipset driver, then I'm not sure of what could be done.
Spamgourmet kind of allows such an idea, by allowing a section of the false e-mail address to be anything, like name.anythinggoeshere.number@spamgourmet.com
In the case you describe, multiple bypass codes could be used, and whichever one is misused has a good idea of who gave it away.
The same idea I have seen used with normal mail, by either adding a dept or a C/O.
I saw an iteresting system, I forgot where though. For registration for an account, there was an image that had text in it, but was ofset, crooked, and had crooked lines through it (IE hard for a machine to OCR the image). The registrant was asked to type in what they saw to register. Simple enough for most people that do have a graphical browser. It doesn't have to be in the email as an image, but in a link somewhere else.
At the university that I'm at, each department has surveys of the professors done. The first part is multiple choice, compiled to get an idea (ie "oh, wow, only 30% of your students would suggest you to a peer", "students thought homework was useful"). For both parts a volunteer distributes and collects the survey after the professor has left the room to avoid bias.
The second part is written comments. Both are used in evaluations of preformance by the department. Some professors might take it to heart, though the survey information isn't released to the student body. That is trying to be changed.
Okay, that won't work, unless you turn back the odometer too.
My guess is that it would total all miles, not mysterously turn off when you go out of state. Instead, it would likely keep "in state", "out of state", and the total should match close enough, otherwise tampering would be obvious..
This appears to be an appeal to something similar to what you speak of, though its an appeal about an insurance company. I remember seeing what you speak of as well.
From the above link (an appeal):
...Where a driver of an insured car drove to an intersection and removed and carried away the stop sign in the insured car, no coverage exists for the death of a motorist at the intersection because the motorist's death was not causally connected to the use of the insured car.
I think I remember something similar to screwing around with the traffic lights on the x-files, where someone set it green with mind powers or something..

Of all the times to get this, I was in a cingular office while my friend was getting his nokia replaced. POS SMS, that's the only SMS message I have received.
The idea that one can save time by repairing machines while running doesn't take account the fact that someone could ruin the machine, or worse yet, the technician could be injured.
Of course, troubleshooting a problem is best done with a running machine/human, because a story can be discerned. But, preparations are made (turn off the machine/anesthetic) and diversion of product can be made (divert to machine #2/heart-lung machine).
I don't really know how serious your machine is, but is your hand worth $10,000 to you?
I don't think doctors can really be replaced, as there are subtleties that can be detected, or exaggerations that can be dismissed. But I do think that such a tool could help diagnose, as such things as standard operating procedures for maintenance can keep more safety in a industrial environment.

I think its supposed to be interpreted as "between a 5 to 10x slowdown" which turns into 1:5 to 1:10 (which makes much more sense),
not "a ratio of 5:10"
but oh well, still teh funnay...

But I am pretty confident that the teleprompter in the article cost much much less than $1695 when counting the laptop as existing equipment.
And I am reading this to avoid doing a writing assignment about work :)

Bah, this is the case I believe the show was about. Changed my search to "accident after removal of stop sign"
