Google's Evil NDA
·
· Score: 1
Im guessing if they went to the trouble of being this strict with their NDA, they are also pretty strict about not accepting changes to it. At most large companies, the only people who are authorized to approve changes to an NDA are the legal department and if you, as a hiring manager / HR recruiter / individual contributor, sign a modified agreement without that approval, then you are putting your job in jeopardy.
I think you will find that as your bandwidth speeds hit OC3/OC12 size, that layer 7 filtering is not cheap. Also, it's an additional expense, whereas simply bocking it costs nothing in terms of capital equipment costs. Now, I don't know about your experience with IT depts in.edu's, but most of my peers there continually cry about lack of budget and personnel.
How much of that 65-75% of total bandwidth being consumed is people downloading Linux distros & WoW? Really, aren't you using a corner case to defend the mainstream use of sharing music & video?
The cost of bandwidth isn't simply the cost of the pipe. There's the associated equipment, the service contracts to maintain them, the data center space, power & cooling, personnel, etc... and still there's no guarantee that you can reduce the overall percentage of total traffic represented by p2p unless you're talking absurd amounts of bandwidth.
You did read the little disclaimer at the bottom that says that this is the maximum speed, right? With a T1, the 1.5Mbps is my guaranteed speed, end-to-end (well, in most cases anyway).
It's about controlling bandwidth costs that have soared as a result of the explosive growth of p2p traffic. I have spoken with several large ISP's in the past year and most of them quote numbers like 65-75% of their total traffic is p2p. Given the demographic makeup of most universities, I'd bet their percentage is even higher. Those big fiber pipes cost big bucks.
Yeah, acquiring Doubleclick was fucking lame and I think it was an expensive gamble but that doesn't make them any more or less likely to horde our private data.
I'm not seeing any statistically significant increase in either what's being blocked or what's being accepted by any of the MTA's I manage. Also, Trend Micro's spam stats don't show any major jump in activity either.
I have seen a couple of copies of the spam itself, but nothing major.
Try slutting your address around a bit. Mine is only publicly readable here on/. and I get plenty of spam in my gmail inbox. Yahoo seems to do a better job based on my experience.
You bet. In fact, right now there's hordes of undocumented alien, exploit writers hammering away at new malware from their nondescript building in Dallas overlooking a grassy knoll.
All they have to do is a 1:10 stock consolidation. Bingo! Back at $9/share.

In the movies I'd like to make the guy introduces a beautiful girl, what follows is groping, fellating, cunniliting, copulatin and ejaculating. What can I learn from this book to make that look even better than it is?
Um, maybe the book talks about what will happen when you turn 14 next year?
I have an Thinkpad X21 that was purchased in early 2000 that's just fine for basic computing tasks, surfing, email, etc... so you know not of what you speak.

Hmmm... Interesting that movies from the 70's would portray a $500 bill as it was removed from circulation in 1969.

It just gives them more data to horde.

Well, I have to admit, my cock has grown on me over time.
Succeeding. It's just as easy to work hard on the wrong thing.

"This trend may have reversed during the past decade."

So the organization might opt to relocate to Switzerland where such privileges are easier to attain.
Yeah, I can see the US gov't just sitting by quietly while that happened.
