This resolution is significant because it expresses the will of the U.S. Congress that Russia must take effective action against those who would steal America's knowledge-intensive intellectual property-based goods and services. We must not enter into political arrangements with countries ill-prepared to adequately protect our greatest economic assets.
Remember, also, that Microsoft also produced the BASIC in every single Commodore 8-bit computer from the PET through the 128, and so they made money on the millions of those sold, in addition to MS-DOS/PC-DOS.
They also wrote the BASIC for the Amiga. AFAIK the only MS product for it.
Oddly enough, I have a live recording of Jimi where he actually does say, "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy". I Can't remember the name of the box set it came from.
No one, and I mean no one, is going to shell out cash to buy lyrics. A manufacturer might as well sue customers for saying good things about their product in an online forum.
Don't they print these with CDs? They used to. But then I have not bought one in years.
Many applications require fast data transfer over high speed and long distance networks. However, standard TCP fails to fully utilize the network capacity due to the limitation in its conser-vative congestion control (CC) algorithm. Some works have been proposed to improve the connection's throughput by adopting more aggressive loss-based CC algorithms. These algorithms, although can effectively improve the link utilization, have the weakness of poor RTT fairness. Further, they may severely de-crease the performance of regular TCP flows that traverse the same network path. On the other hand, pure delay-based ap-proaches that improve the throughput in high-speed networks may not work well in an environment, where the background traffic is mixed with both delay-based and greedy loss-based flows. In this paper, we propose a novel Compound TCP (CTCP) approach, which is a synergy of delay-based and loss-based approach. In CTCP, we add a scalable delay-based component into the standard TCP Reno congestion avoidance algorithm (i.e., the loss-based component). The sending rate of CTCP is controlled by both com-ponents. This new delay-based component can rapidly increase sending rate when network path is under utilized, but gracefully retreat in a busy network when bottleneck queue is built. Aug-mented with this delay-based component, CTCP provides very good bandwidth scalability with improved RTT fairness, and at the same time achieves good TCP-fairness, irrelevant to the win-dows size. We developed an analytical model of CTCP and imple-mented it on the Windows operating system. Our analysis and experiment results verify the properties of CTCP.

I couldn't hang with OO on the Mac. I didn't like the X11 look and couldn't get nice fonts. I found Neoofice and love it. No affiliation. Just a happy customer.
Dodgy logic. Tim Berners-Lee [w3.org] is British. He invented the Web while working at CERN [wikipedia.org] (that's in Europe by the way). Can we have our web back then please?
Sure. Take your web and go home. The web is not the Internet.
A friend of mine had a cat that would ace anyone but her. I tried to make friends with it one day. Oh, it was so simple. The cat walked up to me with those cat eyes and rubbed against my leg. I reached down and the next thing I know my hand is ripped to shreds.
From the kitchen: I TOLD you not to touch the cat!
Do you understand what spamming is? Do you understand why people spam and how they can profit from it?
Well, duh!
Spamming is based on theft. Spamming involves a disproportionate exploitation of resources vs. costs. Spammers steal bandwidth and resources, and most of them steal identity information as well. Pure and simple. What people like Ralsky do is break the law, each and every day. This isn't speculation. This is a fact. If you identify one zombied PC he has exploited as an SMTP server, he's broken at least a half-dozen laws, including federal ones. There is no doubt about that.
Sure, he stole bandwidth but your blanket statement that most of them steal identity information is documented where? Are you confusing phishers with spammers? Was Ralsky a phisher? And Ralsky is charged with this where in the story?
Ok, so he broke the law but maybe not the onces you stated. Is he guilty of exploiting zombies? Was he charged with it?
But that's ok. If he is a spammer he has stolen identities, used zombies, hurt little bunnies and returned dead parrots to the pet store.
If spammers operated from fixed IP blocks, most of the anti-spammer arguments might hold water, but they don't. The vast majority of spam these days is now coming from compromised computers that are repurposed as on-the-fly SMTP servers unbeknowst to their owners, and ignored by their ISPs. The only way to deal with this is a) RBL the irresponsible ISPs, and b) go after these guys for computer tampering and other criminal offenses.
Most of mine is from servers in China and Taiwan. 163.com and hinet.com are the most popular.
All the spammers these days who want to accomplish anything are exploiting zombie relays. This is illegal. It can also be considered a capital crime under the USA Patriot Act.
The Patriot Act? It covers zombie computers too?
Whatever. Read TFA and then read your post and see where they coincide. Hint: They don't.
