It's too much freedom. That's why there's no competition, high unemployment, and a poorly performing economy. If only we had more regulation everything would be better.
"I wonder how soon until ISPs' tiered pricing packages will become indistinguishable from those for cable TV, with grouped together services that vary not just in throughput or quality guarantees, but in what sites you can reach at each service level, or which sports teams are subject to a local blackout order. "
Pretty quick I imagine, considering how regulatory burden in the US pretty much kills all chances of competition among ISPs.
Breaking applications is the very reason why I disable it.
Most sites I use are sensibly programmed, but every once in a while I come across a site so bad it needs to be shut off.
It's supply and demand.
Sony wants to make money.
Raising the price will only make more money if demand goes up.
If demand goes up, but the price does not, there will be a shortage.
Economic laws apply to everything. Whitney Houston's Music is no different.
Suppose that Microsoft created a "good enough" operating system called "Windows Minimum" (WM).
They do that to an extent. Windows XP had 'Starter' edition, and Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, in addition to Embeded, Home and Professional versions.
I wish they made the WFfLP available through retail. A stripped down version of XP, made to run on old computers, but still compatible with new (when it was made) software. None of the extras most people didn't need, and ran rather snappy compared to the regular XPs.
To claim that this means NAT provides NO security is simply ridiculous.
On a technical level, NAT does absolutely nothing to protect you. It simply translates one ip to another. Take a typical SOHO internet router for example, it can use a specified IP for a DMZ. That turns off the filtering rules, (they are what protect you) while NAT is still running.
...The computer behind NAT can't be port probed from external address or act as a proper server, big difference.
Those functions are provided by routing/filtering.
NAT by itself does nothing to protect you. An open NAT box will send everything to the designated IP.
"The real question is are we talking 24 hours of word processing, or 24 hours of actually using your computer."
Na, that's 24hrs for the nvidia chip to die.

I wish the mouse and keyboard could be used as standard controllers on consoles.
And I doubt I'll be purchasing any Ubisoft game in the near future.
Is it a police state yet?
openbsd and links
DMCA takedown notices are constantly abused through youtube. Anyone think trolls will be in full effect with this?
When did Roger Ebert become the pope of art?
and my programs are shit! Clearly music is the way to go.
I'd buy large quantities of their products at a low price and resell them for a small markup.
They'll still being going on about this non-sense for years. I was looking forward to nothing happening, so in 2013 they could finally shut up.

However it's measured, there will still be idiots getting in a huff when they find out their file system takes up space too.
If such applications existed, Adobe wouldn't still be in business.
If such vehicles existed, GM wouldn't still be in business. Oh Wait.
One of the first Linksys home routers would allow unauthenticated admin access with text-only based browsers.

Would a Russian or Italian be as effective?
I'm going to download this to find out what all this hubub is about. Anyone have a torrent?
Now Windows Update can fuck your computer up even if it's turned off.
The latency can be killer though.
They're stealing your IP while you're goofing off on slashdot.
