or is it about those noises (known as music), did a bunch of five year olds write this, ok some folk may need help with the technical bits- but seriously, to dumb it down and follow it up with "also known as" is laughable.
these Internet computer resources (known as bandwidth)
surely that could be better written this bandwidth (a finite, expensive resource)
I was educated (Tanenbaum) that there was such thing as Campus Area Networks for University campuses. How can a University be called a 'mini-internet' in the grand scheme of things, surely by it's definition theres only one Internet.
The figure I'm seeing is "display 1-x of about xxx,xxx,xxx".
That result was generated in fractions of a second, searching 3,083,324,652 webpages.
I'd guess there might be some caching techniques for searches that are repeatedly hit - and it's just possible that the future searches were able to dig deeper in the archives.
Click through the links and count just to be sure that there were a million, million + 10k.
The other explanation is bizzare programming logic creeping in...
Don't worry, you have far too much time on your hands in your office.
Most spam doesn't bother me too much, it mainly originates from WHOIS or Mailing lists and is easy to filter; but when people decide to send 500Kb attachments to address that isn't splattered around the Internet - I get upset...
Of course, the 300 or so spam messages from WHOIS and Mailing list archives do waste bandwidth; but that could keep people expanding networks, building bigger, faster routers.;-)
Listen, just because the entire world of 6 billion people is motivated by money, it doesn't mean that the few thousand of us here at Slashdot have to be as well.
I agree, but it will turn up that the bastard at work who knows nothing about anything and gleans his knowledge off you will end up getting the job before this guy.
but then surely tcp (an assumption there), would realise that packets are getting dropped (assuming it was congestion), so then would reduce the transmit rate until packets did get dropped - before tring to raise again.
QoS on the downstream should be configurable without too much hassle.
If the access-route drops packets over the upstream limit
then there is no real benefit of uncapping your cable modem, except that moment of time while the policing+QoS functions of the router kick in.
Surely the ISP's should use QoS on their access-routers, or rate-limiting, or some other feature to POLICE the traffic rather than relying on the client to shape the traffic.
Slashdot Mirror
The uk mirror service lets you unpack archives on-line without downloading.. Though 2.6.5 hasn't propogated over just yet.

... that'll be like the 82/8 problem as well then. Some damn quest router drops my traffic to dilbert.com.

cruicify them!

the adverts would only been seen by people scared to recompile....
Personally I'd sacrifice a weekend to recompile every application minus the adverts...
can you then concentrate on getting some bugs out of the IOS after that? - somebody that has to work with Cisco kit that isn't behaving.
and real sport is one that requires no physical activity.
100% correct (although PHP does seem like cheating at times, it seems that PHP was designed for a web-based environment - whereas perl was not).
