The RIAA is going to absolutely hate any research in this area that can improve P2P performance in any manner. And especially by a university, no less. Those hot beds of piracy don't deserve public money at all, when they spend it like this!!
Yes, and in how many days to pass that much energy back into your car. Not exactly a candidate for a quick pit stop, unless they can swap the entire battery pack in 10 seconds.
They would like the legislation to exempt anyone who owns a copyright, patent, trademark, or trade secret from restrictions against pretexting.
RIAA and MPAA lobby to be exempt from jail and fines for anything they do. Spokesman quoted saying, "Hey, diplomats have this already, so it's hardly unprecedented."
And...
Applications for copyrights, patents, trademarks, and claimed Trade Secrets rise to an all-time high, especially in California. U.S. government spokesman reports, "If this continues, soon every American and illegal immigrant will have laid claim to some piece of intellectual property. I wonder why they'd all want to do this now?"
I'm no fan of cable companies, but someone has to speak up about the problems associated with P2P. I'm aware of some educational institutions that saw their newly upgraded networks come to a complete grinding halt - simply because of P2P sharing. They had no choice but to shape their traffic so that other business could get done.
Why is your business more important than my business. I might be distributing my newest song via P2P, while other people are engaged in other business. My filesharing is as important to me as your other business is to you, and you've appointed yourself the gatekeeper of how bandwidth is to be used. Just give everybody the same bandwidth allotment, and let them use it as they see fit, instead of trying to be the arbitrator of what's right and what's wrong.
My branch of civil rights activism is highly controversial and generally misinterpreted
But you don't mind giving us a web-site to find you at (anu.nfshost.com) that tells us your interest is in making paedophilia more accepted in society, or all the other tracks you've left on a simple Google search.
I'd like to be able to shape the traffic so my ssh/x connection gets absolute priority with p2p using whatever is left.
If you have a modern, and very cheap, Linksys router there is some very good (free, as in beer) 3rd party software you can use to reflash your router to be far more capable than the standard software it comes with. I think those are some of the abilities it includes.
So much for the idea of Net Neutrality. Encrypt all the traffic, and it will all again be treated as equal.
And if they slow it all down, sue them for not providing the level of service they promised when you signed up. The whole unlimited, high-speed broadband thing is such a fraud anyway, it deserves to land in court -- preferably sooner, rather than later.
I only have to go a couple Slashdot articles newer to read that cost is the single largest factor in deciding to outsource. Usually Slashdot manages to keep its outright contradictions further apart -- or incorporate them in the same article.
Now you know why we scream at telephone technical support when they say you have to restore your system to the image they shipped it with (are you listening, Dell?) before they'll do anything more to diagnose what's clearly a hardware problem. It costs days to weeks of efforts of patching, updating, loading software, and setting preferences. This is a huge effort they seem to blithly ignore.
What is marginalizing WMA is new releases of WMP that break backwards compatability with older files. See here for a music publisher where Microsoft WMP 11 broke their sales model.
Perhaps this guy had hardware issues that were responsible for the OS being unstable?
Well, if it runs stable under XP and crashes under Vista, you can't blame the hardware. If Vista is that much more picky about the hardware -- (which it is, in a stupid effort to enforce internal DRM) -- it's Vista's fault! The hardware shouldn't have to be superior to XP compatable hardware to go to Vista.
Cat 5 cable. It's cheaper, faster, more reliable, and more secure.
Faster, yes.
More reliable, likely.
More secure, ceratinly.
Cheaper? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Pulling cables through the walls, and underground to a detatched building, was several times the cost of the router and access point, let alone the convenience when other family members bring their laptops and PDAs over.
What??!?! Are you still using ARCnet or something?
I'm using a cable connetion that the Comcast claims is 6Mbs down, not that I ever see it, and 400Kbs up. 802.11b is a raw 11Mbs max, and with a solid connection I see about half of that. The best actual cable performance I've seen lately (dslreports) is 2522Kbs down, which doesn't tax 802.11b. Why pay for 'g' at 54Mbs maximum when the connection to the rest of the world won't see a bit of that?
Have you figured out now that the only thing I'm using wireless for is connect a computer to my cable connection, which is located in a different place in my house with no wire between them?
Not those of us still with 802.11b routers that work just fine, already run faster than our cable connection, and give us no reason to pay for every lower-case letter update that comes along. Maybe when 'n' is ratified, certified, and gone through it's first couple price drops it will be worth upgrading.
Your Honor, I was using WEP on my Linksys when the RIAA claimed their agents, Media Sentry, claimed that my IP address was involved in illegal filesharing. I was taking the best precautions my poor little 802.11b router can handle. Allow me to now introduce a paper here explaining how my system can be broken by the average desktop computer in less than a minute.
Consiering that Vista is really based on DirectX 10 graphics, and the only card that pretends to have it (Nvidia G8800) has virtually unusable Vista drivers, can any system claim to be full Vista Ready?

Talk about Global Warming! Al Gore should go and investigate it immediately.
Just dispense with the front wheel altogether and race a unicycle. All the weight over the wheel, and no way to lift it off.
Or put the wheels side-by-side Segway style.

It means: Buy Vista Now, and Give Us More Money. What's so hard to understand about that?

Do that, and suddenly you can't advertise those peak speeds any longer that you are so fond of comparing to your DSL competition.

Too bad it was the 9th Circuit that upheld this. They are by far the most overturned of all Courts of Appeal.

Case Dismissed!

Well, it gives you something to do -- read and click on ads -- while waiting for you download completes. That's Entertainment Value.
You'd think they'd at least test it on the most popular model(s) of player out there before shipping it, wouldn't you?
