If I asked you what you believe, you would point me to materials I can read, tell me yourself, or point me to someone else who can explain it better.
Scientology forces you to pay lots of money and undergo questionable interrogations before they will trust you to with their secrets. By which point you have made a huge emotional and financial investment. So it's unlikely you would question what you are being told anyway.
You're trying to do business via email with your email address published on a website? Why?
Put up a submission form on your website. Yes you will then have to worry about bot's trying to spam your form but there are some ways to confuse them that are far simpler and easier to modify than the email spam arms race.
Heck, just standardize on USB sockets / plugs with 5V power, and build that into power strips. I've seen a number of devices, mainly phones, which already use USB ports for charging.
I speak programming, I don't speak HR very well. I doubt you'd spot me as a good programmer from any resume I'd write (which I haven't for a long time). You might be able to find me based on how I have helped people on public news groups.
Plus if the ISP want's to cache, they can run their own P2P node(s). They could even configure it to freely seed to any internal peers, while blocking or otherwise limiting external peers.
That depends entirely on how traffic is routed, which peers you connect to and the capacity of any network segments you share.
If you have connections to lots of local peers, you will add bandwidth load to local routers. If you have connections to lots of remote peers you will add bandwidth load to the backbone of the network.
In some locations like the UK & AU, all last mile traffic is routed via the ISP's central routers even for traffic to your neighbors on the same exchange. In this case user to user traffic will still have some cost for ISP's.
The moment you start running something, preload all libraries this process is known to reference? That way it doesn't matter if the application blocks on each library being loaded.
As you guys probably know Youtube's IP's are being hijacked. Trace: ~ $ host youtube.com youtube.com has address 208.65.153.253 youtube.com has address 208.65.153.238 youtube.com has address 208.65.153.251 [Same/24]

So, it seems that youtube's ip block has been hijacked by a more specific prefix being advertised. This is a case of IP hijacking, not case of DNS poisoning, youtube engineers doing something stupid, etc. For people that don't know. The router will try to get the most specific prefix. This is by design, not by accident. This is a case of censorship on the internet. Anyways, I hope this doesn't get into a political situation, and someone stops this.
What action are you going to take? Are you going to filter announcements from AS17557, or just filter that specific announcement? Considering youtube is a fairly high-traffic website I think that other operators are just going to start filtering that AS. This is a great example of global politics getting in the way of honest corporatism. This is also an example of how vulnerable the internet is, and how lax providers are in their filtering policies. I don't know how large Pakistani Telecom is, but it I bet its not large enough that PCCW should be allowing it to advertise anything.
Quite a large number of developers writing OSS software are paid to do so by companies who use the software. And the reverse is also true, a number of closed source freeware applications are written by developers who are not paid in any way.
Hmmm, a related thought. Could you use something like this to build a gravitational battery? Hook it up to solar panels or a treadmill to lift the mass. This has got to have less environmental impact, and hopefully cost less to construct than the ceiling full of lithium batteries that would normally be used with solar.
If iPhones could not be unlocked, many people would not buy them. I would argue that if all iPhones sold also had AT&T contracts, there would be less iPhones sold. Not more revenue from AT&T contracts.

I've thought about exactly that type of design myself, in a reasonable amount of detail. Some bullet points;
swap from a list of hashes in a torrent file to a hash tree for block verification, don't hash nodes together that have no sibling, instead maintain a list of hashes for the current right edge of the hash tree
the tracker returns the current right edge hash list for the torrent with every response
when the torrent is updated, the tracker adds the new block hashes and returns the new list of hashes for the right edge of the hash tree
add p2p messages to [ request / respond with ] any hash in the hash tree
change the global identifier of the torrent from a hash of the meta data to a hash of the master tracker URI
copy / move meta data from the torrent file to the end of the data blocks, peers can then bootstrap everything from the tracker or other peers knowing only the torrent URI
add semantics to the meta data to include "patch process from previous version" instructions, include size information so the location of the previous meta data blocks can be determined by the client
clients should respect 3xx http redirects and use them to identify other trackers
This proposal does nothing to stop reset attacks. All it does is stop middle men capturing the peer list returned from the tracker. I don't believe comcast are snooping and using this information to identify torrent traffic. I say this because I have heard that applications like lotus notes are also affected by the injected reset packets. The only way to really defeat these injected resets is to use an IP protocol that is immune to forged packets. I believe SCTP encrypted and tunnelled over UDP packets would fit the bill, but it would be a fairly major change to the protocol.
Until you can answer the question of what was there before the big bang, and what was there before that, and what was there before that, ad infinitum, that is a debatable statement.
Similarly it is pointless to ask, "before the flying spaghetti monster". If intelligence was involved in the process of creating our dimensions of space and time, it's still pointless to use the word "before". On the first point on the timeline of the universe, an effect must have occurred that has no prior cause, as there is no prior "time" for it to occur in.
Any attempt to explain this first effect must, by definition, be "super"-natural. As no natural process exists that has an effect, but no cause. Though I admit in some QM experiments cause seems to occur after effect.
As counterintuitive as it may be to Richard Dawkins, "who designed the designer" may be as meaningless a question as "what was there before the big bang". The existence of anything "before" or "outside" our universe can never be demonstrated by the scientific method because of reasoning along the same lines as Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
An individual who assumes there is a God may see the hand of God at work in all things. A person who assumes there is no God may see the hand of chance at work in all things. Both positions are based on an assumption that cannot be proved or disproved based solely on the observed evidence, as the bias in the way evidence is viewed by the individual is based on the individual's starting assumptions.
If you really want to treat laws like software, create a strict legal language, with a strict syntax and precedence rules. Build a virtual machine that can evaluate the law and determine which rules should ally to a given situation. A good testing framework would be required with a way to evaluate if the full impact of the laws is understood, and how the laws apply to the common man.
The role of a judge would then be to evaluate if each condition actually applies to this case. However you are not going to eliminate ambiguity completely. Judges should always be allowed to rule on compassionate grounds, or apply their own common sense to test the law further. When a judge makes a ruling that is contradictory to the existing law or applies to a case not previously tested, a new test case should be added explaining under what conditions his interpretation should hold.
If legislators see that judges are interpreting the law differently they may ammend the legislation to pass the tests that the judges have added.
In a way this is exactly what the legal system should already be doing.
You can, and in some cases must, drop packets to implement traffic shaping. That's fine. Every TCPIP implementation on the planet will notice and slow down the transmission of data. What Comcast has been doing is forging packets with reset flags to convince one of the end points of the connection (or both? I'm not sure) that the other end has closed the connection.

No, the link in the summary goes straight to the result page.
I thought BIND's no-delegation option was written specifically because of NetSol returning A records, not the other way around.

And this is *exactly* how internet service is sold in Australia. For example, my ISP Adam Internet.
Australian ISP's did try to sell truely unlimited, or pay per Gb services. But the ACCC / TIO will not stand for fraudulent advertising.
