Probably. Look for QOS flags in the TCP headers. If you're suspicious, benchmark.
Watch the data coming into your system. Even if they normally strip the flags they set, they're likely to miss something somewhere along the line, such as using improperly an configured backup piece in the case of equipment failure.
But as a community, it stemmed from universities working together and the development of UNIX, which, at the time, culminated in BSD.
So, as a community, the Internet had a free-flowing spirit. Read Cliff Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg for an idea of what that community was like. (The cracker in the book being the exception, not the norm.)
Essentially emphasizing the "logical" locality of their data, right?
Hm...there's definately arguments for both sides of a lawsuit. On one hand, it gives the user a bad impression of the service of a competitor. On the other hand they're Comcast's customers, and it's Comcast's network, so Comcast should be able to do as it pleases.
On final question...does the cable company count as a monopoly? There are stricter rules on the behavior of those...
Random packets time-wise, as well? That would cause latency in the audio stream.
Given enough time to study the implementation, I could probably tell you what kind a service a data stream was carrying based on the frequency and individual spacing, not to mention quantity of payload, of packets.
A similar means of study could probably tell you, for example, approximately how many people were using the same HTTP proxy. Even things like tabbed browsing could be taken into account.
Well, if you want something to float using magnets, the force of the magnet has to be balanced by the force of gravity. That means that if you, for example, surround the fan with a ring of magnets, your fan will have an equal force from the magnets on all sides, and nothing will be left to counter the force of gravity.
The only solution I could think of was to have a half-ring of magnets.
But I forgot one vital bit of information...the force of interacting magnetic fields decreases with the distance. (I forget what the exact relationship is.) Which means that something could conceivably be held to the center by a ring of magnets..
Isn't that the car that tells you when you didn't bring enough flowers, because there are two girls in the house, instead of just the one you expected?
That's the only episode I saw. I loved the NES game, though. I beat it, once.
Don't put it in your sig...you'll likely forget and send something confidential. I doubt even lawyer-client confidentiality would hold up in that case.
I would assume that the concept of a corporate entity is pretty much the same there as it is here in the US. A CEO won't normally be thrown in jail for some crime the company comitted.
The funny bit is, if Capone had paid his taxes, they could have been used as evidence against him for the crimes which the FBI really wanted to get him for. Capone's argument was that you can't take legal taxes for illegal money.
It smacks of Martha Stewart's being convicted of lying when she said she was innocent (of a crime she wasn't convicted of.)
But I guess sometimes that's the only way to get at the ones who know how to work the system in their defense.
You could, but the fan would have to be oriented in a specific manner. Either flat or on one side. Unless you used some funky position-tracking adaptive system, but that would be much more expensive.
Sure...but all the good thinkers on the subject get hired by the Navy for submarines.;)
I expect a lot of the same principles apply.
One potential source of noise is rough edges. So get the finest sandpaper you can find and smooth the blades on the fan. The problem is that since it's plastic, it won't help much. You might get better results from using a material that's polishable.
If you're the one installing the software on it? Yes.
He wasn't saying the consumer should know what they were doing, but that the manufacturer should.
And I agree. With the source code available, it should have been a simple matter to strip down the kernel to just the functionality they needed. It sounds like they tried to combine a nearly fully-featured software system with very-low-end hardware. Even my Duron 750MHz running Debian and GNOME boots up in less than a minute.
I'm willing to bet that user-supplied ROMS will make this device much more usable. With the source code available, it's certainly possible.
Is it just me, or is there an inflation effect hitting our criminal justice system as over time the punishments keep getting higher for the same crimes...
I wouldn't be surprised. Crime is always considered high by the populace, and the most obvious solution is always to increase the penalty. Not that it always works.
Personally, I think the most effective solution is to convince people that if they break such-and-such a law, they will get caught. Presently, most ways to back up that threat involve trampling on civil liberties.
Given the choice, I'd rather put up with the crime rate and have the option of protecting myself.
I'm surprised nobody's been doing research to find accidentally manufactured nano-products.
Nanotubes and buckyballs were originally manufactured by burning graphite rods, IIRC. And you can't tell me similar conditions don't exist elsewhere, such as coal-based power plants and steel refineries. Other particles of potential concern can probably be found in the same way.
Finally, AFAIK, there's not much difference between nanotechnology-produced devices and other artificially-produced chemicals. If anything, a nanomachine would be humongous, compared to common hydrocarbons or even laundry detergents. Just because it has the word "nano" in it doesn't mean we don't already work with smaller things.

AFAIK, those magnets are usually Neodymium. (sp)

That's irrelevent. The information isn't being included in a lawsuit, it's being published in a paper to prove a point.
However, his argument doesn't work either. AFAIK, copyrighted information may be included in a journalism piece.

Not likely if it uses native code. The most common 64-bit Windows will be for x86-64, and this one was written for IA64.

...of an old case I read about in Cliff Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg.
A cracker was convicted in Canada in the 80s of "stealing electricity" instead of breaking into a computer.
It's passive social cooling.
That wouldn't be a...er...temper tantrum, would it?

I thought about that, but what of copyrights? Do the builders of the map have the rights, or does Fox?
