You just discribed Skype in detail. Now add to the fact the transmission from PC to PC is encrypted.
If the FCC has their way, they will create a law that mandates all VOIP traffic go through "P" (central server) so it can be monitored. As such, it would also make P2P illigal too. You know ISPs would love this, in fact back up the plan as they *hate* P2P users.
The Limbaugh-spewed bullshit about the "librul media" is so transparently false that a grade-A moron can see it these days.
But...is it really BS? Over the top, ya. But Limbaugh has proven time and time again (he's documented it countless times on his radio show) that the media IS and REMAINS liberal.
But in theory, he could DOS the system with a high-gain transmitter to disable the system. Exactly how, I'm not sure. But one could shutdown and entire highway with enough stalled cars.
When it comes to health care, it seems to be a toss-up between private and public support. When it comes to education, the problem is *not* one of funding.
My Sister in law is a teacher. I've been told many times of how undisciplined the children are. Worse yet, the school system can't do shit about it for fear of being sued. In most instances, you can't even kick a child out of the classroom let alone raise a tone of authority at him/her. And it gets worse, the parents don't even give a damn come discussion at "open house". The point is, you cannot throw money at this problem because it's not economic, it's cultural!
Trying address a cultural problem with money is like trying to fix a broken mechanical device with holy water. It's not going to happen. Untill the culture of America changes, our educational system is fucked, has been fucked, and always will be fucked!
Damm spot on! That's what pisses me off about our medical system in the US. It's the fucking lawers that are making the profits, not the docs. It's all about litigation at the expense of your health. I sware, it's so fucking evil. Worse yet, the public ignores this fact.
Granted, it's been years since I last rented from them. And your right, It's no one elses fault by my own for not returning the movies ontime. The problem I have however is being raked over the coals come time for payment. Clearly I'm not in the minority. In fact, there was a report saying BB made more in profits from late fees than anything else.
Given the competition and albit disgruntled customer base, no wonder they changed the "late policy". It's a smart move.
That question is addressed here. The answer seems to be little to no relationship. As for the Congressional Democrats in office, their ratings are worse.
Do you know what this suggest? Let me spell it out for ya. Americans are pissed at the Republican party, but even more so of the Democrats. Given the immigration issue (whome both parties are pandering too), the political enviroment is ripe for a third party to garner support. A wildcard indeed...
Bush's rating is utterly f***ed, but not for the reasons you think. Here's a shocker, it's directly proportional to the rise in gas prices. Here's a graph that proves it.
So, you guys going to mod me down on this too? It's the "truth". Show me your double standards
You *think* he violated the law and constitution. Is he skirting the law, yes. Did he violate the law?...no. Of course, how that law is defined is set by example in the courts.
Wake me up if/when impeachment proceedings start. Otherwise, stop spreading FUD.
I've heard most of it. Honestly, I didn't find it funny. It was a GWB bash-o-thon disguised as humor. Even if it was Bill Clinton, I still wouldn't have found it funny.
Unless you like the idea of someone pissing off the president on stage, the content wasn't humorous IMHO.
Flame bait? Perhaps. None the less, it's an interesting hypothesis. Given the current healthcare status in Mexico, it doesn't not surprise me most of these illegal immigrates are potential carriers of such diseases. I still want relevant facts to back up your claim however. Got any links for further investigation?
Speaking of... My Space has become a major camp ground for the feds. They've been busting people via sting opperations. My Space has become a honeypot for cleaning out the scum if you ask me.
You simply profile the binary in the packets and find patterns. Those patterns in the data will help identify future Skype packets. From here, you can create filters to block all data that matches the pattern.
Besides, all the morons on this site do not pay attention - deliberately, I think - that telcos SELL CONNECTIVITY. If I can't talk through Skype, fuck such provider, I'm moving to another one.
You can't prevent what traffic is being blocked on their backbones. Basically, even if you have cable as your ISP, there is nothing they or you can do about preventing the filtration of traffic from point A to point B.
It's all about killing VOIP. It's real fucking easy to do now days. Not only can you sniff each packet, but you can tell what application that VOIP traffic is coming from. You can kiss Vonage, Lingo, and Skype good-bye. But don't worry; the local Telco's and cell phone industry would be more than happy to offer you an alternative...for a small fee of course.
Remember, VOIP is still a new technology in the eyes of the public. They feel the need to crush it before it gains mass public support and thus political support to keep it alive.
Excuse my ignorance, but I ask this question from the "layman" perspective.
One possible solution is to have a hundred or so general purpose cores, and fill the rest up with simple algorithmic accelerators (e.g. FFT, crypto, [i]D{C,W}T, etc). These would spend most of their time turned off (not using power), but when a workload hit the chip that needed them they could be turned on to give a significant performance boost.
Isn't that what Intel and AMD have been doing all along with MMX, SSE, SSE2, and SSE3. Basically; revisions of adding more and more instruction sets to make processing more efficient? I'm sure as more die-space is available, future versions of SSE (versions 10, 50, 100...whatever) will include specific instruction sets at processing the very algorithms you mentioned.

In the meantime, he deserves his own Slashdot icon. Seriously, it's way past due.

:P
Ya, I made it up. Sounds cool though, so it must work.
It doesn't preven that said person from being "paid off" too. Just because your intelligent, doesn't mean you can't be greedy too.
Now, I'm not sayind he has/is being bought off, but don't discount the possible motive.

Yes.
In America, you're not a politician unless you *are* paid off.

Coupla decades of building brand recognition and customer base?
Such as getting screwed by their late fee policies? That's what I think of Block Buster...
Haha
Hahahahahaaaa
