While I do oppose Bush's tax cuts which have led to massive deficits, I think this is a very strange characterization. That seems to imply that our money belongs to the government from the start.-
No, the problem is with the way TCP's congestion window works. When there is no loss, the congestion window is increased linearly, typically at 1 packet a roundtrip. On the other hand, whenever a packet is lost the window is cut in half. On a high latency, high bandwidth link (i.e. one with a large delay-bandwidth product) the window required to keep the link saturated could be tens of thousands of packets. You could tweak the parameters, but ultimately you still have additive-increase multiplicative decrease (AIMD).
The key problem with TCP is that it assumes that most losses happen because of packets being dropped due to congestion, not because of data corruption. Treating every loss as a congestion event worked well in the early days of the Internet, but is counterproductive today where the core of the Internet has plenty of spare capacity and congestion usually happens at the edges.
If ECN were universal, one could ignore losses (for the purpose of congestion control). There are lots and lots of protocols that have been designed by the computer science research community... like look through the proceedings of, say, ACM SIGCOMM. You'll find no shortage of new protocols.
Designing one that has big enough advantages to justify the cost of switching is another matter. TCP works find to today's cablemodems and such. Its when you start talking about trans-continental multi-gigabit networks that its limitations become a problem.
You can access files inside the chroot jail from outside. Create a symlink in your ~ to ~/chroot-jail/home/mozuser/saved-files if you like. That way you can save to saved-files in the browser and access it from ~/saved-files.
Every business in the world leverages what weight it has to get the best prices from their suppliers. Thats what they're SUPPOESED to do. Do you think a company that's purchasing 10,000 windows and office licenses pays the same that you do per license? That is despite the fact that MS has a virtual monopoly on the desktop market and most companies don't really see (or at least perceive) a choice.
1. The grand parent accused the OP of being a selfish, elitist prick, not a criminal. And being a selfish, elitist prick is not a crime.
2. The OP has offered very little by way of evidence of being an intelligent person who makes rational arguments. "I don't like the music sold at walmart, therefore it is all crap and they must be lying about the fact that 1 in 5 CDs are sold at walmart"
This guy is best ignored... but insulting him is probably more satisfying:)
You've got to be kidding. The editors can't be bothered to check for the exact same story being posted twice, on one recent occasion while the old story was still on the front page. You expect them to make subtle links like this?
Sure, why not? Just because its a good cause doesn't mean you can run it on computers you don't own if the person/entity that owns them doesn't want you to.
If thats true, the guy probably really doesn't find a lot in intelligence in the mirror.

I don't condone the manager's snide remarks, which were certainly out of line, but this guy was just asking for trouble.
Dear Mr. Dachannein, Regardless of how respected the SETI@Home project may be, those servers were purchased for a reason and running SETI@Home was not it. We find that the employee was vioating policy and his termination was appropriate.
As for his remarks, we agree that they were perhaps inappropriate, and.....
Probably not- it just uses CPU cycles that are going to be wasted anyways. Last time I checked CPUs slowed down/stopped the clock when idle, and didn't busy wait in a loop. Having the CPU run at 100% load all the time is going to keep it running hotter and sterss out both the CPU and cooling systems and shorten their life.
Even if it was insifnificnt, this guy had no business doing it on a production server
You should take your spin-mongering ability and work for the Bush campaign. You seem to have their talent for spreading fiction.
They were arrested trying to cross a police barricade. Being presidental "candidates" and waving court papers doesn't automatically give them a free pass to go wherever they choose. They knew they were going to be arrested and got exactly what they deserved.
The candidates had nothing to do with it and probably didn't even know those two jokers showed up and got themselves arrested.

The good thing about wise quotes is that they apply to many more situations than the one in which they were originally said.
However, saying F5(| is preferred
According to wikipedia 416 million people spoke Spanish worldwide in 1999, including non-native speakers.
i don't suppose you want to enlighten us NON spanish-speaking people? There's over 5.5 billion of us who DON'T speak the language, you know?
while you furiously peddle away
Being programmers/tech staff rather than sales reps, I don't think most slashdotters will be peddling anything.
No. There was no mention of nucular or terrorists
No they were using the Soviet Russian system

Yep. Everybody wants to be Apple.

This may come as news to you, but the audience actually did not include every single undecided voter in America
Its true... google should totally call off those thugs holding a gun to your head and forcing you to visit Google print.
