ISPs already charge for bandwidth, but it don't go to the copyright holders, and if it did how would you distribute it? 1 DVD =4.5GB, 1000 ebooks = 1 GB?
And why should I pay the music and movie industry when I download a new set of Solaris DVDs?
To pay for upstream is even more retarded, so if I run my own webserver or upload my video clips of my kid, workout, cat, or have a huge photo album I should pay to the media industry?
And don't try to figure out what is P2P traffic because that will always fail as well, people will just change method. What about a VPN with Samba shares of the files with all the people I know?
"illegitimate traffic", good luck with that.
Sure they can make encryption illegal, good luck with defending that law, I'd still use it just to refuse the fucktards. If there came a law which made encryption illegal I would the same day start to send ALL my e-mails encrypted and so on.
Non-comercial use of what? Encryption? We are talking about nerds here. Virus, botnets, hacks, cracked software,... are already illegal, yeah, that have stopped much? People won't give a shit about their laws, laws which have no support from the people suck. We live in a democracy and shouldn't have to live with shit like that, save it for police states and dictatorships.
Doesn't matter what the government will or not, we will use it anyway, I'd like to see the swedish government jail 200.000 people because they use encrypted P2P. Good luck with that!
My guess as well, cheap and limited hardware not up to the job people demand from them. I suspect that a cheap PC running some of the many software based solutions would give much better performance. At least compared to the "routers" of lastlastlast year or similar.
Not to forget some people would probably argue that your general privacy and freedom to talk to others with no one listening is more important than file sharing.
Some other people would probably not since those are the people which hopes to catch some bad guys using techniques such as this one and don't care about the breach of their own privacy since they have nothing to hide them self and trust everyone to be good.
On the other hand there haven't been much reason to care since no one have been allowed to snoop at your traffic or get your contact information from your isp earlier.
But since I mostly belive it's a scam I will probably found like 2000 hits of people wanting to sell me "omg run your car on water kits, the truth the government don't want you to know, inventor killed by oil industry!" and well, I can't be bothered with such shit:D
Sorry for getting of topic but I just have to ask when you say that electrolysis is extremely energy intensive.
I've seen all those bullshit "omg run your car on water"-apparatus on youtube as, uhm, bullshit, since obviously to use electrolysis to convert the water into hydrogen and oxygen and then burn it in your regular combustion engine won't have an efficiency over 100% and therefor it fails.
But I haven't wanted to say that I'm 100% sure the engine as such can't run more efficient due to the added oxygen and hydrogen into the gasoline mixture (that is I'm 100% sure it fails as a water only car, but what about "water" + gasoline?)
Does anyone know if this makes the engine run more efficient FOR BURNING GASOLINE?
I don't know how cars works but if the generators run on the wheels while breaking and therefor picks up some in other cases lost energy to the battery and use that for the electrolysis I guess it could be seen as some sort of hybrid but a very crappy one which however don't need an electronic motor.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but: 1) Is $6 billion for building the plant? 2) The price for the fuel is accounted for in operation? 3) Does this include the price for storage of waste, deconstruction and safe handling of the rest of the plant, sanitation/some sort of making the crushed ore more safe and radioactive material not reach the ground water, more things I haven't thought of?
Atleast with wind power you sort of know what it will cost. The storage cost for a nuclear plant sounds sort of unknown and similair with if you let the ore leak various crap into your ground water or environment. Something a wind power plant of course won't do.
9 trillion? Is this with that method there one billion have 9 zeroes instead of 12?
Because if it's $9.000.000.000 I actually don't think it's THAT huge anyway.
Ours used to be 1.000.000.000 SEK if I remember correctly but Sweden have around 9 million inhabitans and USA have what? 240 million? Your GDP per capita are bigger aswell so together I think it makes a decent case (atleast compared to ours, though I guess 0 would be better.)
Our current government have sold a lot of companies ran by the state to private intrests instead so our debt may have shrinked accordingly.
According to CIA world factbook the debt of USA are: Budget: revenues: $2.568 trillion expenditures: $2.73 trillion (2007 est.) Public debt: 60.8% of GDP (2007 est.)
And of Sweden: Budget: revenues: $253.4 billion expenditures: $240.5 billion (2007 est.) Public debt: 41.2% of GDP (2007 est.)
So well, according to that I guess you do have a bigger problem at 50% higher dept (and less revenues than expenditures.)
In any case I guessed that considering how high your GDP are you could pay it of quite quickly.
But then americans probably don't like taxes as much as swedes does:)
But raise taxes and start paying it of, it's the only reasonable thing to do I guess:) (Or maybe it's not economically reasonable if you can generate more income from the money than the rates of the debts?)
I've read it before, scrolled thru it and read a little here and there but can't find ther open source method? Is it the last freetype one for Windows?
Also I think OS X and Adobe does it nice. Adobe best:)
1) Don't buy TN. 2) Buy PVA or MVA if you can't afford IPS and don't play games where the input lag will ruin your experience. 3) If you can afford it buy IPS.
There may be a few exceptions (the input lag on PVA are on S-PVA for instance, I think, but you will probably get an S-PVA one anyway so..), but more or less so.
And on Jackass when they travel from London to St Petersburg and back in a race they are talking about the ukrainan (?) "pirates" robbing the people in the race and stealing their cars.

Not to mention whole fucking Solaris are guaranteed to be source compatible and most of the time is binary compatible aswell, isn't it?
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/guarantee.jsp
Seems like it has binary compatibility since Solaris 2.6 and since Solaris 10 source compatibility across x86 and SPARC as well.
How do you do that with no software which can decode MP3?
From CDs?
Yeah, because shutting pirate bays tracker down will surely stop encrypting the Internet!
Also, like, you know, it's already been shut down... ... for like two days or something impressive like that.
Not to forget some people would probably argue that your general privacy and freedom to talk to others with no one listening is more important than file sharing.

But in this case it's not water, it's hydrogen + oxygen and sure fusing them must should heat the environment? Or?
and in an sufficiently serious accident the fuel dissipates into the atmosphere quickly (making it safer than gasoline).

Preferably. MSN suck, close to noone uses jabber, not everyone are on IRC.
But then kind of noone else use ICQ longer. I've removed lots of people due to their choice of using MSN. I guess that makes me a very lonely person.
uhm, add three zeroes :D
9 trillion? Is this with that method there one billion have 9 zeroes instead of 12?

Is that true for all kinds? Even say Adobes (try with acrobat reader or something)?
Yeah, I've always wondered if it was the electric toothbrush disturbing the screen or my head/eyes which was fucked up by the toothbrush.
Now I know (I could just turn it on without holding it against my teeths to.)
1) Don't buy TN.
2) Buy PVA or MVA if you can't afford IPS and don't play games where the input lag will ruin your experience.
3) If you can afford it buy IPS.
There may be a few exceptions (the input lag on PVA are on S-PVA for instance, I think, but you will probably get an S-PVA one anyway so ..), but more or less so.
Probably more imaginary value in data copying than ship and goods theft.
No shit, probably because more or less all americans are "foreigners."
Or is it really owned/ran by a lot of first gen foreigners aswell?
And on Jackass when they travel from London to St Petersburg and back in a race they are talking about the ukrainan (?) "pirates" robbing the people in the race and stealing their cars.
Aslong as we still don't buy their crap.
