In case you are interested, other researchers have compared popular tracker blockers in a recent paper titled "Benchmark and Comparison of Tracker-blockers: Should You Trust Them?". Results shows that your mileage may vary, with some plugins performing overall quite poorly.
Here is the link to the conference program and here the PDF of the paper.
If you mind reading the paper, or checking the slides, they say that "according to Internet Watch Foundation Blacklist, only
5% of their entries is based on pure domain or subdomain"... Now how to impose parental control of www.facebook.com/mypornpage?
So now only Google/Facebook/twitter/... will know what you so on the Web... thanks to the omnipresent social buttons, to cookies, to google analytics, to google adwords, etc.etc.
Smart move... clearly to protect MY privacy...
How the hell we are still "measuring" throughput, packet loss and RTT in 2011????
My wife want to know if she can "WATCH YOUTUBE" , "SEND A PICTURE VIA EMAIL", "PLAY HER FAVORITE SHOW ON TV".
It's like the PC. People don't care about how many GHz, GB, Mcolors the box has. They care about what they can do...
It's like for cars: who's interested in checking the engine, knowing which brakes and knowing the maximum speed...
It's really time to get rid of this sticky measures...
I support dropbox. It allows you to access your data from any computer via a web interface, and to keep PCs synchronized using a simple apps that runs in background.
It support versioning too.
If you put your system in hibernation mode, the wake up process is much faster then a cold boot...
My windows desktop wakes up in less than 5 secs.
It boots in more the 3 min...
There is another P2P-TV project funded by the EU that is going to address your question.
See www.napa-wine.eu
In that project, there are Telecom Providers involved in, since they have the same fear you state: can the network survive the next generation high quality P2P-TV?
At my university http://www.polito.it/ are beta-testing a system that
- automatically turns off the PC at a given time
- automatically turns it on using WOL features at a given time
- allows user to turn on/off their PC using a web page.
- allows IT to manage on/off time in case patches or updates must be deployed
Once finished, we plan to release it as GPL.
That's exaclty what skype does.
All voice (video/chat/file) flows are encrypted, and they go from you to your party.
Only if both of you are behind a NAT or/and firewall, then skype routes the call through another node.
If you want more infos, have a look at
"Revealing Skype Traffic: when randomness plays with you" and references therein...

Here in Italy Fastweb offers a similar service since 1999!!!
One century ago!!!
TV (free+ppv) + VoD + Videorecorder + VOIP + data on the same access...
While ISP routers do supporto IPv6, this is not the case for the little router you have at home!
ADSL, Cable, WiFi boxes... none that I know supports IPv6...
Can you imagine the nightmare of switching all those little boxes?!?!
already is a polite phone. It can be automatically turned on and off, e.g., during a meeting, and change the ringer volume based on the lighting condition... Just use brightcam http://treoware.com/
have my laptop get the power from the ethernet cable when it is connected to a wired lan. That will save me to bring the power adapter when I move from office to office, and to avoid me to un/plug two plugs each time I need to move around...
And I'd love to see ONE standard for laptop power adapter...

wow! 666MB to delete a file? not that bad at all!!
isn't it?

Why don't you get a fonera2n? Or any other wifi AP which runs linux and has a USB port?

Come on, that's about the size of half Europe!
... and liked it. Share your doc or xls file, modify it and everybody will immediately see it. you can also use the integrated chat board

So 5 pages to conclude that under bandwidth constraints packet loss and RTT increase? WoW!!!

correct... if no firewall is present... if a firewall block UDP packet, then relying is a must...

So far, the only one that allows to sync my Palm Calendar is airset (http://www.airset.com/). That's the only I love :-)

wasn't it simpler to put the Verizon's PCMCIA inside the laptop???
