In short scale Quadrillion is only peta, so we are very much there today with the largest computers being able to do quadrillions of floating point operations per second let alone integer. Not sure if worldwide processing power is yet to the yotaflops scale though I suspect we probably aren't far off.
CFast, the next generation Compact Flash spec does not specify a filesystem but the first devices to be announced have been FAT32, the big problem there is video files are limited to 2GB.
If your microwave knocks you offline throw it out! No correctly functioning device should be emitting outside the cooking area. When I supported Cisco's wireless division we bought every microwave available for sale in our area and every microwave from every Goodwill in the area and could never measure any significant amount of emissions. Also 802.11n supports operating in the 5Ghz spectrum so if you don't have concrete walls you can generally avoid collisions with neighbors as there is much less gear using that space.
Here's an example that would make you just as culpable but should probably fall under fair use, creating a remix or mashup and sharing it. But the point is that no matter how little justification there is for the illegal act that does not make it ok that the punishment does not fit the crime. A basic level of fairness is a requirement for the law to work as it is a social contract not a natural law.
I would say the expressiveness of the fine is obvious on the face, maybe not from a legal perspective but certainly from a moral perspective. I've been working since I was 15 and a half years old, it's likely that I will work till I'm at least 75. In those 60 years of work I've calculated that I will make about $3M in constant dollars, which makes this award about 20% of my lifetime earnings. Does sharing a few songs justify essentially indentured servitude for 12 years?
If you care that Joe came in at 9:05 then you are a wanker manager! Seriously these are IT people, knowledge workers. They can work from basically anywhere, are not necessarily fully productive every hour of every day, and are basically never off work because their mind continues to work on problems (REM sleep is when a ton of creative ideas come up because that's basically when your brain does housecleaning on everything you were doing during the day) when they are not "at work". I came into work late a total of almost 3 hours last week but I also did about 40 hours of reading on a new technology we are implementing from home and my boss knows it. I'm a technical lead/manager and I don't give a toss if my reports ask to work from home a couple days one week because their kid is off from school as long as they get their work done.
To add to this, there's a number of tuner's expected in Q1 for homebrew MCE install's on Win7. Ceton has what looks like it will be the best with 4 channels supported with 1 Mcard (if your cable headend supports it, currently SA/Cisco headends are firmware limited to 2 channels per card) and Hauppauge has been rumored to have a card in the works.
Hmm, here I have the option of:
Two cable providers, 3 CLEC DSL providers, AT&T U-verse, Wireless internet, satellite,and three 3G services. All of them have tradoffs between cost, bandwidth, convenience, latency, and support. Of course as time goes on the DSL providers will be forced out by the fact that AT&T took billions in public money and then asked for and received from lawmakers exclusive rights to the same lines they were being paid to upgrade.
Did I mention that my neighbors are a farm, a horse farm, and a neighbor with a 3/4 mile long driveway? It's not like I'm in the middle of Manhattan.
Sorry, but international politics is no different from national politics, the less light that is shown on the process the more mold that grows in the form of graft, theft, and one sided favoritism for the elites and their supporters. If the process can't hold up to scrutiny then it doesn't need to take place at all.
Modern Torrent clients that support DHT (most of them) generally default to UDP. Since the Torrent protocol already includes block checksumming there's no reason to also use TCP for that, congestion control generally isn't an issue with Torrent traffic either, you just push the pipe till it's full. For video unless you have significant buffering there's little reason to have error checking or congestion control because if you can't get the bits in fast enough without retransmits then the video's not going to be watchable. I'm not sure how much video is done using UDP vs TCP, Flash is TCP and Netflix appears to use a design where they adaptively send different encoding levels of the same content across a HTTP 1.1 stream as they see bandwidth starvation.
They are generally using UDP so the original assertion that degrading the other users experience should be true as UDP should break down long before TCP does. Though I do agree that if Comcast's system works as described it's probably the best solution for a network that can't implement QoS.
Note: they also said they would eventually restrict 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 to customer access only, so if you're not a Level(3) customer, you probably need to find another solution. link I've seen a bunch of other comments like that from people who seem to know tech people over at L3, combined with the behavior we saw after these comments started popping up and I have to assume that L3 was intentionally introducing the delay to wakeup non-customers to switch off them.
Solution, get a refurbed business class laser. I just looked and you can get an HP4050 for $89, add ~$50 for a generic high capacity toner cart and then print ~10,000 pages.
I'm on an AT&T DS3 here at work, average times:
AT&T provided DNS 15ms
Google provided DNS 21ms
L3 DNS 9ms
Of course both L3 and the AT&T resolvers have occurrences where they start returning results at near the timeout value of our server so if our usage slips under the Google DDoS threshold then it might actually be faster for worst case and depending on the amount of difference in cache size even average case.

I think the fact that journaling and flash media don't mix particularly well is the main reason not to use NTFS.
I think it mostly has to do with write support being very spotty across platforms (not that exFAT is any better in that regard obviously).

For a lot less money they could do the same thing with open systems hardware and VMWare.

*excessiveness of the fine /damn spell checker.

Yeah and he probably stays late to the tune of a couple hundred hours per year. I've yet to meet an IT worker that only worked 2200 hours a year.

You obviously don't use Acrobat reader!

When the security lines get densely packed it's like an airplane with no aisle, quite a bit more dense.
Then use mod_gzip (if the text field's aren't already compressed, which they can be) and mod_cache.
Because the FCC forced them to eat their own dogfood, which probably has something to do with the rash of "CableCard is dead" stories...

Uh, no, mold grows well in damp, dark places.

It's not a matter of the stack, any app that does it's own checksumming is free to turn off UDP checksum generation.
