We have a 45Mb DS3, we are a cable modem service provider. Watching the traffic I can confirm, that from about 3pm until 10pm 60+% of our traffic is from P2P clients. Thats only the traffic we can track. Kazaa 2 can use port 80, and only gets reported as web traffic.
I see kazaa 2 traffic mostly. but also edonkey, kazaa 1, napster, and others.
Less then 1% of our users use 85% of the bandwidth. They're alloted 1Mb/s download, and they use it constantly.
I just bought a 40 gig maxtor drive (Cheap for a firewall) it came with a claim of being able to withstand 70Gs of force while running. I'd imagine a better build SCSI drive could withstand more. They currently have MP3 player mounted in cars that run utilizing hard drives Neo Jukebox, which is veru cool. I haven't had any problems with mine for about a year. I've done some serious offroading with it... It keeps playing...
Hard Drives are getting smaller and better engineered all the time. Think about how much abuse your laptop gets...it still boots.
ok..a crash at 70 MPH, may damage it, why don't they add a wireless interface to constantly upload recorded data (data to save). Use something in the 900 MHZ area so it does get blocked as easily. Throw repeaters on each tower the 2 way radio has them.
"The first ones free" pitch, only to come back later when the government has set up some mission critical application and announcing "Time to pay the piper".
Sounds like a Drug Dealer's Sales Pitch...
Next thing you know your hooked on patches...
No kidding... Illegal, and not real safe. 2.4Ghz is microwave, like the thing you heat your hotpockets with. We run a specialized radio system hear based on 802.11b, standard AP radio but with 6db gain antena. Every 3 db gain in an antena and you double your output power. This means (And I don't know the gain of a pringles can, but it does have some saturated fat content) that the focused beam from a pringles can antena can cook things, and cause your manly swimmers (Your built in navy) to die off.
I read on OSHA's website a while ago about several injuries and one death related to 2.4 Ghz Microwave radiation.
While this sounds like a good idea, and a fun hobby, please don't point the antena in my direction... I like my gonads just as they are.
I'd love to buy that and cruse the North East Corridor line (Heavy Amtrak and Acela Line) during rush hour Honking and waving at the platforms as I go by.
Does anyone remeber when you could actually get radio parts at radio shack?
I used to buy tubes there... (For the kids think of a tube as a transistor the size of a small light bulb)
Because the plastic case PC's come in today do oh so much shielding. In reality, in a modern (As opposed to one made even 4 years ago) PC, the power supply emits more RF then any other single piece execpt the CRT.
I've applied for my own patent....

I thinks it's kind of crazy to allow a chuck of code to be patented. How I wish I was the first to patent the use of the image tag in HTML.
By the way...
I'm in the process of patenting 4" square pieces of a 1mm thick woven material, used to remove waste products from skin. It also stipulates that these "sheets" will be strung together in line, and stored on a "roll".
I think most people would use such a product, and can't wait to reap the rewards!
Also trying to patent the use of a special mixture of gasses (70% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, with a few secret ingredients)... Patented with the name "air".
Not true. I have 3 desktop Linux machines, running three different Window managers, and 3 different email clients. The ease of MS email viruses, is the predictability of the email clients actions when faced with a little chunk of code.
Add on top of that, am I running Slackware, Deb, RH, Suse, Mandrake or some other dist. Where are my executables.
I'd love to hand my mother a Lindows machine, and just let her use it.
I can see the first wave of Lindos email viruses.

They didn't get cheated, they got what they payed for. They paid $10 for a 98 cent filter that blocks the return path of digital cable boxes. Most cable companies will only allow a few events to be purchased without actually communicating with the cable box.
Morons... Don't steal cable services...use your neighbors:)
Check out your local Firedept or Rescue squad.. Or a new Caddi. All have LEDs as siganls. New LEDs systems are testing brighter then regular strobe packs.
Also depends who is asking for the machine. I was asked to purchase a box to run a sql server that was spec'd with dual 1ghz procs and 4 gigs of ram, only to find out later 10 users would be on the box...they got an old 550mhz desktop with 256ram and were very happy with it.
I once worked with a guy whos favorite variable and was asdf (Just roll your left hands fingers across the keyboard), and when he needed another he'd roll his fingers the other way(fdsa).
It was maddening to debug.
I find it useful to comment each section with what the code chunk expects in terms of data in, what it does with this data, then how and where it returns the data. I sometimes also note my thought process in writting the code this way.
There are also times when I don't comment the code at all... especially if it's a chunk for an embedded box with limited storage. I do write docs for it, but they're stored elsewhere.

I actually thought of something simular in '84 when those acrylic clocks (clear except for the numbers) came out.
I thought, this would be great for tinting windows.
