That $400 is a vast vast understatement. Look at extended costs. Between the Benefits paid out to the families of the 2300+ soliders killed, and the medical costs for all the solders wounded (16,600+), and those coming back wiht Post Traumatic Stress, etc, it's estimated that we could end up paying 10 billion a year for that. And since most of the soldiers were only about 20, we'll be paying on that yearly for the next 45 years or so.
Mod up. Carp is one of those great features like pf that the OpenBSD folks keep cranking out. Easy to set up hot-failover firewalls. And check outOpenBGPD while your talking about replacing cisco routers.
Yep. And his example of a big budget movie failing... King Kong. Let's see...
Strike #1: It's a remake. No creativity here...
Strike #2: It's been remade several times, usually each version sucking more than the last. People are tired of it.
Strike #3: You didn't even get to see the big monkey until about an hour into the film. Hello? BORING.
Honestly, after listening to others reviews, I had no desire to see the movie no matter what the budget for it was. Don't make a sucky movie and expect people to go see it. Nothing new here.
That's fine and good assuming you are just helping out one single friend. But, like many folks in the rest of the threads are doing, you leave it open to anyone who is nearby, you haven't talked to them, and they have no idea how much bandwidth you are willing to share or not. That's why traffic shaping comes in handy. And I proposed it to someone on/., who can likely figure out the traffic shaping, or find the right info. I didn't propose it to the general public because not enough off-the-shelf routers have it as an easy setup solution. I believe that will come in time.
That's why, as has been pointed out in other threads, you should use traffic shaping on your router. You can give higher priority, and dedicated bandwidth to your own computers, and allow your friend to use the 'leftover' amount, when you aren't using it all yourself.
Why do you have to claim ignorance? All the local coffe shops (including ones in bookstores), the university, some car dealers repair waiting rooms, etc, etc, around here all offer free internet access. Is the store owner going to be hauled in because they let anyone who wanted to have internet access, and someone downloaded something bad? I don't think so. If you really downloaded pirated-software or media/kiddie-porn to your computer, they should be able to prove that readily enough, and have to to satisfy 'innocent unless proven guilty'.
I'm guessing the time frame was really 1984+. Until the government stepped in, you had to rent Ma Bell's phone. After that, you could either continue renting their phone, buy the phone from them, or buy another brand of phone to hook up to your line. There was a HUGE number of phone models that suddenly sprung up after the split-up. I remember receiving lots of catalogs with different phone styles/features from different companies when the switch was made. I'm sure everyone was trying to udercut everyone else then to grab consumer loyalty and market share, so I'm not surpised he could get stuff cheaper there than in Europe at the time.
As the other post said, traffic shaping is the way to go. I have an OpenBSD box set up as a firewall. Any bandwidth I need, I get. If I'm not using 100% of it, whatever is left is open for folks visiting the little-old-lady next door. She doesn't use a computer herself, so it would be silly for her to buy a line. When her kids or grandkids come over to visit her and bring their laptop, I don't have a problem with letting them tap into my line for a few hours using the excess bandwidth.
Oh, and by the way? Why do you think they broke Ma Bell up in the first place? It wasn't because she was a monopoly. It was because she was abusing the hell out of her monopoly status.
Sorry, I don't have any phone bills or rental agreements from back in the day. That was a while ago. Just ask any USAin who was old enough to have a phone bill back then, and they will tell you the same thing.
You must be a young'en. Let me tell you about how it was back in the day. Ma Bell used to charge a monthly rental fee for each and every phone in your house. Not each line into your house, each phone hooked up that that one line. Want another phone in another room for convenience? You have to pay for it. Each and every month. You weren't allowed to buy your own phone, you were forced to rent theirs.
Ma Bell coming back is NOT a good thing for consumers.
Right. And I'm sure you can count 100% that none of the other folks in your company will misconfigure it on their desktop. Users never screw up their setting...
It might be safe computer-geek types to use, but allowing general users to use it is just asking for trouble.
Sorry, I've got to disagree entirely. Allowing a 3rd party to store all your sensitive data with no security agreement is really really stupid. That's for regular companies. As I work with HIPAA protected data, it would also be illegal for us to use it.
You can trust Google all you want, with those nice shiney license plates I'm sure you will. But I don't trust so easily. Especially not after Google doing censoring for the Chinese government.
Well certainly when you are are plotting which way to change it's trajectory, you are going to plot it's future trajactory to make sure you don't hit earth the following year, or in 100 years, or anything silly like that.
My point was if you have 50+ years of warning, we are already two orders of magnitude closer in ability than your 1m/s requirement would suggest. I'll take a leap of ability of two orders of magnitude anytime I can get it. Two gets us a lot closer to that 'several' orders needed.
A meter a second? For how much time? Where did you pull that magic number from?
If the thing is a year away from hitting earth, you've got 31,556,926 seconds to play with.
The earth is a ~12,756,300 meter wide target. Add on another 1,000,000 meters on either end so that you don't have it torching atmosphere. That's a ~15,000,000 meter diameter so moving something aimed for dead center at least ~7,500,000 meters off course.
The change you need to make to it's course is only (7,500,000/31,556,926 = ) 0.2377 meters/second.
That's with starting your thrust one year before impact. If you've got more than half a century before impact, you only need to move it on the order of a centimeter/second.
Well, the South Park series originated with a little cartoon with Santa and Jesus beating the crap out of each other, and kids rooting for Santa. I thought it was hysterical, but some seriously religious folks I know thought it was horribly blasphemous. Yet somehow they didn't burn down any buildings.
Wow, good call. I missed that one. I see South Korea at #58, but no North Korea. I see a lot of former Soviet Union countries on there, but no Russia either (unless I missed it). I'm sure theirs is down a lot now from what it was during the cold war.

Yep, you are correct. I was thinking we still had graphite moderated reactors still in service. The slag is still a major issue. I'd feel a whole lot safer (living between two reactors myself) if all our reactors were pebble beds.
