Isn't this what you guys wanted? Comcast is being told they're can't discrimate against so-called-p2p protocols... so they're just counting bits and if you use to many, you get a warning, then you're out. Only people who are using their Internet connection as their primary HDTV input will be affected at the proposed level.
There's enough room in 250 GB to watch what you want 16 hours a day... sleep the other eight or you'll go insane!
Excuse me? Where's the news here? We already knew that Comcast's bandwidth cap will be (starting next month) 250 GB... break it once and you're warned, break it twice your service address is cut off for a year.

Pure case of state-controled media going on in Russia. They're not willing to admit they had a spy satellite in the first place, so they're not able to explain where the debris came from. That turns out to be something NASA is more than willing to do for the American side.
Could the fact that we didn't see such an article about last weeks DNC be because there wasn't anybody bothering to protest? HBO's Real Time had footage from the "Free Speech Zone" in Denver which had more kids on bikes than protesters.
But those solutions never were able to surf the web or do play a 3D game or anything similarly complex. If you want features, you get boot time. Simple applications can be done with no boot time, but they do one thing and that's it.
You must be new here. "Movie at 11" is Slashdot-speak to say that the newscast traditionally found there can be confused with fiction, particularlly when a tech story is being reported.
Why should the IOC do something that would devalue what it produces? The Olympics are run on a shoestring budget compared to other "profitable" sports.
Why don't you care about the Winter Olympics in 2010?
There's no such thing as a television network that operates worldwide, so Olympic rights are sold on a country by country basis. Web video rights go to the TV network that owns the rights for the nation, and they have a right to lock other web videos out and responsiblity to keep their web videos within their borders. Sorry, no open media formats allowed, NBC had to go with something DRMed and they're already friendly with Microsoft, so it's no surprise NBCOlympics.com requires Sliverlight.
Traditionally the Olympic teams are introduced in the alphabetical order of their name in the language of the host country, with the host team moved to last. Chinese has the problem of not having an order to follow, so they had to make something up.
"ARP poisioning" is what it's called, and your explaination sums it up pretty well. If the other side of a port is claiming to have enough MAC addresses reachable by it the cache will fill and the switch will start over with a blank cache which renders it into a hub until it learns what's really where, then gets poisioned again, rinse, wash, repeat.
Dumb switches will fall for this trick and have no way for anybody to notice, smarter switches will log this and let the admin know there's more than one MAC address being reported on a port... you just trace to who's on the other end of the report and you've busted them.
We're all taught in network design class that a switch unlike a hub doesn't send traffic that's not yours to you, then learn in security class that it's easy to turn a switch into a hub.
The IOC produces a "world feed" of all of the events that serves as the base for coverage in smaller nations. All the local team has to add is native language comments, and maybe a few closeup cameras for their nation's athletes in the event.
China's government owns the TV stations there, and TV stations buy the rights from their national Olympic comittee. Therefore, the government owns the rights to the games within China.
NBC owns the US rights to the Olympics, and therefore their webstreams are authorized for US viewers only. Canada? See the CBC. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Each country's broadcasters have a right to keep other broadcasts out, and a duty to keep their broadcasts contained within their area.

Would have to be a pretty tight net... small particles moving fast enough can rip a dangerous hole in spacecraft.

You watch out for spy satellites!

Then... Why the limitation of 50k$ when FDIC covers 100$k ?
FDIC is not fraud insurance, it's total bank failure insurance. Big difference.
The Slashdot editors do realize they've posted a British-centric story at 3:44 AM London time...
A net prize worth $200 is hardly worth a trip into Boston...

Must be a fake post. A slashdotter has a girlfriend?

Nice 1994 post. Ever since Sunday Night Football moved to NBC, there's been a running score line at the bottom.
Two questions for you:
Why should the IOC do something that would devalue what it produces? The Olympics are run on a shoestring budget compared to other "profitable" sports.

Movie at 11.
Movie at about 12mid/11pm CT on NBC affilitates tonight... due to Olympic runover. You just never know when those taped sporting events will end.

This has been a tradition in Olympic broadcasts for years. It's called editing.

Isn't that the reason they call it "Black Hat" instead of "White Hat"?
