What is this bullshit ?
"If no receipt comes back, the sender transmits the same packet at half the speed of the previous one, and repeats the process, getting slower each time, until it succeeds. "
There is nothing like this in tcp !
If the packet needs to be re sent it will be sent excatly the same way...
IP networks are etherogeneous by definition ! a hardware equimpment passing IP packets to his neightbourg who will then forward it most probably at a different speed to his neightbourh until it reach its destination...
If I use my modem at home I will talk at 56K to the provider it's own equipment will talk to each other at great speeds probably around 1G then he will be linked to he's own provider by a 100Mb link and then will cross the atlantic without me or my pc having a clue at what speed...
And this was said in the two articles... I hope that this is due to the incompetent journalist...
Maybe we need to remember how it started:)...
Once upon a time...
In 72 Germany and France developped a the most advanced Telecommunication satelitte of that time : Symphonie. Missing a reliable launcher they turned to their American friend who had always been telling them how stupid and a waste of money it was to developp their own launcher when they could rely on the american one !
What a relief ! Then someone had the good idea to get a closer look to the contract... "No commercial use" ! This "incident" finished to decide France&Germany to get their own rocket and Arianne was born...
Another little story :
A couple of month ago, the american friend wrote a letter to all responsibles in european countries just couple of days before the Galileo space program had to be signed. The friend was just nicely trying to make them realize the hawfull cost and waste of money it was to invest in a European GPS equivalent when the GPS was globaly free to use !... It almost worked...
Do you want the Concorde plane story ?:)
But of course this friend has been such a help in the past and you will always remember it ! that's why you can forgive for a while even if he hasn't been so nice recently...
My wife told me :
"you know, One day you'll have to tell him... what ? you did it ? Good, I hope he'll understand so you'll stay good friend..."

Ok to make things clearer in case you would have missed it I was answering the following post :
THANK YOU for saying that. I'm sick of all the whiney communist liberals on Slashdot. They don't realize that other countries are now developing weapons of mass destruction.
These countries - unlike the USA - have shown a willingness to use weapons of mass destruction. Unlike the USA, they would use these to target CIVILIAN POPULATIONS instead of military targets (killing civilians is bad, it unfairly restricts commerce).
Unlike the USA, the alix of evil have even used weapons of this type ON THEIR OWN PEOPLE (Saddam). We would never engage in that kind of reckless GENOCIDE, nor would we ever target civilians.
It really ticks me off to hear these flaming liberals; all of whom would rewrite children's history books given the chance.
Concerning the ICC, USA are simply not ready to see power go in an international court not 100% controlled by the US. It's easier to play the game when you create the rules, specialy when you grant yourself the right to change them from time to time...
The ICC has no power to "discourage US military action against anyone" ! But has the power to judge war crimes... And guess what, there's already an organisation that is trying to discourage some of the american attacks against other countries it's called the United Nations and it's actually the organisation trying to set up the ICC.
The debate was not weither or not it was appropriate to use nuclear devices during WWII.
You know what, if other nations has had the Bomb at this time they would have used it as well ! it was just to refresh the mind of this guy...
At this time it was normal to cover towns with tons of bombs to simply destroy the towns and the civilians in them ! Using a nuclear bomb to do it was not radically different.
Nevertheless, the change in scale was scary.
Yes what happend in Irak was terrible, what happend in Rwanda too, but what does this have to do with what I said ?? My logic might be shitty, as you said, but yours is totaly inexistent.
Do you need a memory treatment or an history lesson ? Maybe you should take a look at those children's history books you're talking about !
"our military is actually one of the most principled in the world when it comes to the Geneva convention and other humanitarian considerations" Sure, and that is just why the USA recently refused to back the new international war crimes court... http://www.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/07/0 3/bush.int ernational.court/index.html http://www.cnn.com/20 02/US/07/12/us.international. court/index.html
And to finish keeping the tone of your post : Unlike the USA, no nation, ever, used mass destruction weapons.
God bless the whole world for once... not only America...
