    No, preaching religion is "Jesus Christ died for your sins so that you might have everlasting life. Repent from your sinful ways and join him in God's work.". What would be the GLBT equivalent of this? Gay Male Preaching - "I love the COCK, You should too" Gay Female Preaching - "I hate the Cock, You should too" Tranny - "wanna know what it feels like to fuck and be fucked?" Bi - "I'm so fucking confused..... "

    If you were a shareholder and your company had the ability to gain a ~5% increase in income (your "is it really worth it?" comment), and possibly more market share, thus increasing the likelyhood of more income from additional exposure. Yea, it's really worth it.

    It's not exactly intrAnetwork traffic if they are one of the few limited backbones for US connectivity. Their actions could very easily affect your usage of google or ilovehotmoms.com by restricting the bandwidth or implementing QoS. However, I don't see much a problem with this for the these two simple facts:

    1)They currently have more than enough bandwidth to go around, and are not going to stop growing this network, and

    2) If they do start to implement QoS, their service contracts will (if they don't already) have a method to gaurentee that they will receive the level of service they pay for. No one's going to pay for a OC12 to only have the available bandwith of a OC3.

    This one won't be super destructive, but a bit bad.

    Maybe in your IT world it won't. That's great, but say that to the admin that has a user bring in a unsecured laptop, that brings down the email servers, gets them blacklisted. I'm sure that it won't be considered "a bit" bad when the exec's of the company want answers.... Anything that has the potental to damage/distroy data is destructive.

    They aren't serving pages, they aren't running spam services, they are simply downloading and browsing pages. Adding more users doesn't do anything but increase demand on an already overloaded U.S. infrastructure, thus raising the cost of entry for the next guy.

    I hate to break it to you, but the majority of Tier 1 internet connectivity providers are not opperating at more then 50% ultization. The only really overloaded infrastructure would be the cable providers that have only so much bandwidth available PER segment.

    Quest for example has fiber running across the US, that is about 10% ultlized on one pipe, and they have two pipes.

  25. Re:Old Technology, new twist on Crypto with Epoxy Tokens, Glass Balls and Lasers · · Score: 1
    IIRC, something similar to this (very low tech) was used to create tamper-evident seals on things like the boxes guarding equipment monitoring nuclear sites, etc. I think the process involved mixing a bunch of little tinfoil sparkles into a clear epoxy resin, applying the resulting glue as a seal, and photographing it from several angles. Simple to create, yet darn near impossible to duplicate a second time. If the blob is missing or different, something fishy is going on.

    Break the old seal, make your changes and replace the seal with your seal. Then take pictures of the new seal, and replace the old seal pictures, and forge the time stamp. Yes, it requires access to the location of the pictures. However, You would THINK, that it would also require a certin level of access to the Nuclear monitoring sites as well?
