slowly increase it's memory consumption to about 30% more than what it was before being put into standby. Ie, if it was 100MB when it went to standby it would be around 130MB after waking the laptop
Oh! Is that how percentages work? Thanks for explaining that to me:)
What does any employee of that bank need with the entire customer database?
Agreed.
If he is doing work, he should be doing it at work not at home.
Why? Stop thinking like an employer from the 50s. I work at home sometimes and it's better because: a. No commute. b. No interruptions. c. I can have a decent meal for lunch. d. I can listen to my music via speakers rather than headphones. e. I can be in to sign for parcels etc.
Sounds like you're the suspicious never-trust-people-you-can't-see type.
I watched some Fox news for a laugh recently - and am shocked, as a Brit, as to how much advertising they sling at you folk over there.
And it all seems to be rather poor, shoddy, lengthy adverts.
Apparently, the 45 mins of "24" fills an hour here (with adverts). But you guys drag it out for an hour and a half.
If that's the style of advertising we'd get, please, no.
Denial of service attacks can hurt businesses/enterprises that keep the economy good.
Something that one person can do to damage the economy is seen as much more dangerous that just simply taking a life (of a probable ne'er-do-well).
Data will simply exist and we will access it as if it were immediately 'here' all the time.
And precisely where will this data be stored, and how will it get to us? It's not some entity, omnipresent, floating around everywhere, that you can put your hand up, and pull out a load of data.
It has to be stored somewhere. And it has to get from where it's stored to where it's needed.
Just pre-guess random answers.
a,b,a,a,d,c,b,a,c,b,d,b,d,c,b - did I win? It's only a 1 in 4^15 chance (is my maths working?). Hmm. That's a billion. Might take a while to do it. But brute-forcing it will work.
Another user mentioned SPF. This is good. You configure a TXT record in your DNS, which says to the world, unless emails claiming to come from mydomain.com come from mail server a.b.c.d, or w.x.y.z, then bin them. It doesn't reduce your spam, but it prevents people being able to use our domain in the from address to send their spam, meaning you get fewer bounce-backs/user not found emails. (It can mess up forwarding though.) But I haven't got it working in Postfix yet, so I can't benefit from other's SPF records.
I can't afford the CPU power to let it check all messages in SpamAssassin. So I have to ditch many of them based on Netblock, Country, IP address, invalid EHLO, claiming they're "localhost" or "friend". Only then, after binning about 99% of connection attempts, do the remaining have to run the SpamAssassin gauntlet.
Most of mine get binned with a 554 "You're not localhost"
Some spammer is using an email address of mine to send spam from. So I get the people writing back, asking why I am sending them spam. And another of my domains is obviously listed somewhere as a domain where guessing user accounts might be a good idea. So I get cqoiecn@mydomain.com, zqopqwn@mydomain.com, etc. It all just sucks. I'm currently getting about 10 spams per minute.
"Name one practical, real world use, that isnt solved by natting."
I suppose your definition of "practical, real world use" is quite limited. But it's late, and I can't be bothered to explain.
You really want to start having to remember 8 groups of four hexidecimal digits just because "it da futar!"?
No. There's this new fangled thing recently been making itself known on the internet called DNS. Check it out sometime. Plus, once you're used to your network prefix (2001:141:3*), it's up to you how you manage the addressing within it. E.g. 2001:141:3::1 for your router, 2001:141:3::254 for your switch, or whatever you like. At work, I just map the 192.168.x.y to 2001:414:3:x::y, and it's easy to remember. IPv6 addresses **can**be shorter than the IPv4 equivalents too. 127.0.0.1 >::1.
Anything that gets IPv6 in use.
When is Slashdot going to drag itself into the 21st century, out of interest? It's not that hard. And you can use a tunnel broker if your ISP don't supply native v6.
I've been tracking my location with this technology, and making it available on my webpage for years. It's not accurate enough to determine the speed you are travelling though (I made sure of this first!).
Just thought I'd point out that your's shouldn't have an apostrophe. It's not something belonging to "your", is it?
Also, "it's" can only ever mean "it is". It's never the possessive for "it", which is always "its".

Hmmm, looks a bit blocky to me. I think they need more key-frames, and less compression.

Bought. As in "to buy". Brought is as in "to bring".

I've got to say, that's one funny post :)
C'mon. A few Dell servers in a datacentre, running Gentoo and Postgres, and all the docs hooked up over ADSL - I mean, it must be that easy, right?
You've got to break a few eggs to make an omelette, I always say.
For a tasty omelette, add cheese, tabasco sauce, and ground black pepper.

Get in touch with me, and I'll host your DNS, and you have have whatever records you like in your zone.
Data will simply exist and we will access it as if it were immediately 'here' all the time.
And precisely where will this data be stored, and how will it get to us? It's not some entity, omnipresent, floating around everywhere, that you can put your hand up, and pull out a load of data.

I couldn't imagine using one if I were a woman traveling in Europe
There are civilised parts of Europe, you know? Or have you seen "Hostel" recently?
It's better than wolfbagging. I'd never heard of it, and looked it up on Urban Dictionary - and wished I hadn't.
Yup. NAT is the biggest Suxor evar. It truely is. People that Just Don't Get Why need to do some more networking.

Why be so conservative? Get a jump on all the people that will have to scramble to get v6 experience to put on their CVs once it hits in a big way.
But mainly - why not?

Amarok is a little piece of crap that crashes every 5 minutes along with whatever sound system you use (alsa, esd, etc, via xine engine or other).
Not for me.
