how will the ISP know if a particular p2p connection is authorised or not... for all they know, I could be downloading a torrent of Extremadura Linux, and the ISP will have to do some pretty clever traffic analysis to determine whether any particular packet is or isn't authorised...
News next in,
expect only "authorised" p2p clients to be legal... and then only "authorised" trackers and torrent hosts...
I was under the distinct impression that freedom of speech is one of the "inalienable rights" and as such, cannot be taken away from you by a contract...
however, with freedom of speech comes responsibility...
so, maybe they can't ban you from posting on Facebook, but they can hold you responsible for anything you post there...
the bullet that's gonna be fired is chambered in the breech... a perfect place for there to be contacts for ordinary electrical signals... durrrr... this system is unbelievably over-complicated... the gun should be smart, the ammo dumb...
uno slight problemo... Inside the mesh, fine, it's all one giant LAN... but for accessing services hosted on the internet, it has to get out of the mesh onto the ordinary wire at some point in order to access the internet... and that's where the choke points are. Where the telcos can kill it by throttling it to death.
Unfortunately, their website needs a major overhaul. They need to have a BIG FREAKING LINK right at the top that explains just what the hell they are talking about. We all know what it is over here, but the general public doesn't have a clue.
they need to get it back up and working first...

does anybody trust microsoft to actually produce a firewall that stops everything either way that isn't explicitly authorised by the user? does anyone trust microsoft not to bypass it for microsoft's own purposes? sorry, but I and many people like me have lost ALL trust in microsoft.
well perhaps they should make some to avoid the embarrassment of having to rely on Linux........... there's a principle at stake here... the microsoft shills make a big song and dance whenever it happens that a linux site is hosted on microsoft IIS... apparently the shills don't like us pointing out the fact that Microsoft is forced to rely on Linux cos their own stuff doesn't hack it in the market...
BTW, it may seem I've contradicted myself, but "lead engineer" doesn't imply any actual engineering any more than "software project lead" implies that the guy could cobble together a four-line vb script.
bolloxs... a "Lead Engineer" signs off on the design or project being up to spec... he's the one who carries the can if he's wrong, so he's the one who should be kicking up a stink if he gets overridden by senior management and should kick the paperwork up to them for them to sign off on.
Look up the responsibilities of Chartered Engineers someday... you'll be scared at just how much responsibility they carry on their signatures. I suspect you've never really had true responsibility.
The game of football as played at Rugby School (Rugby, England) between 1750 and 1823 permitted handling of the ball, but no-one was allowed to run with it in their hands towards the oppositions goal. There was no fixed limit to the number of players per side and sometimes there were hundreds taking part in a kind of enormous rolling maul.
The innovation of running with the ball was introduced some time between 1820 and 1830.
If William Webb Ellis's was responsible for this innovation as stated in Mr Bloxam's account, it was probably met by vigorous retribution but by 1838-9 Jem Mackie, with his powerful running, made it an acceptable part of the game although it was not legalized until 1841-2 initially by Bigside Levee and finally by the first written rules of August 28th, 1845.
Mr Bloxam was a student at Rugby School at the same time as Webb-Ellis but left some years before him. His account of what someone else witnessed (probably his brother) is the only evidence on which the story is based.
will it? what about libility if the damned thing collides with a hanglider or light aircraft? or even a tall building cos the single operator was concentrating on the image from the downward pointing camera rather than any forward pointing camera... I just hope these drones are opertated with a dedicated "pilot" whose sole function is to fly it and a camera operator whose sole function is tracking the "suspects" and directing the "pilot"... and that the "pilot" has the responsibility for avoiding objects and disregards stupid directions from the camera operator.
of course, knowing our idiots who want to reduce labour costs, then they'll be flying this thing on autopilot using gps and only have a camera operator. Oh, I've just rtfa... it's a single operator job and uses GPS... oh great...
I don't think they would be very useful in most rivers since currents often flow over their top speed. How do you deal with that problem in the sailboat world?
I don't sail when the current is more than half the windspeed. Basically means I require at least 4 knots of wind where I sail in order to move upcurrent. If the current's more than 4 knots it's just not safe to sail anyway...
a Duffy boat would be useless to me... I have a swinging mooring in the middle of the river... I have to row out to my boat to go sailing. Those boats are only of use to those who have their own shoreside moorings at their homes or have a marina berth with power...
It's NOT the same... any manufacturer can implement a DVD player as they just have to fulfil the requirements (jump through the hoops) to get a licensed implementation of CSS and get their key... Apple however, doesn't allow anyone else to make players that can play content that's been locked up with their system... It's a closed shop with the only exception being that bastardized crippled phone that can only ever hold a maximum of 100 tunes
It only took one bright new CEO to do more than half of what I wrote above, and set SGI on a downwards spiral from which it never recovered. Where SGI is now, you already know.
more to the point... where IS that SGI CEO now??? who is he working with after sinking his own company??? he jumped ship to join Microsoft... the very same company he sold off some of their patents to...
I used to work for Lernout & Hauspie... they fscked up by licensing their key speech recognition technology to Microsoft... it's in every copy of Office sold now... L&H pulled the rug from under their OWN feet by giving their major competitor the ability to kill them off
surely the best way to speed it up is to compile it straight to object code... c++ has to be compiled and just adds an intermediate step which will make things harder to debug...

Bill Gates can
1) put backdoors into the French version of windows for the benefit of the French government/security services.
2) give the French security services the keys to backdoors in other versions of windows.
3) he can also switch research funding out of France resulting in loss of jobs and tax revenue.
4) conversely, he can switch research funding into France resulting in jobs and tax revenue.
5) controls an enormous "slush" fund which can be used to allow windows to win contracts against Linux when they come up for bidding

it gives you an extra area for weird bugs to creep in... get the Python right and go straight to machine code with a trusted compiler.
no, I'd be far more interested in a good compiler to compile that python straight to machine code...
