mmmm 5 megs. i assume the 6 meg premium service will go up as well?
Also Is there any chance of time warner allowing maximum connection speeds Up and down, inside the time warner network where it should be free, right? Im not sure if that would only be to your neighborhood, or city, or the entire road runner network.
The theory I go buy is to cap my upload just under my max of 40 KBps to about 25 - 30.
To make the torrent download faster I will sometimes increase the number of uplinks allowed for that torrent in Azureus. My theory being that the more people I trade with even if the trades are succesivly smaller, I am more likly to get their data than if I had never sent them anything.
I dont know if it works, but it is my strategy.
If that is gaming the system I dont care cus I ALWAYS share back to a 1:1 ratio and for the stuff I really like or the stuff offered by non profits such as linux sites, I will tell Azureus to keep uploading (I have it set to auto stop at 1:1 ratio)
Thank you! Everytime I see on of these complaints about cell phone users, I get annoyed. LOL I thought I was the only one who wasnt bothered by other people talking on the phone. (except in a movie or other places where people are suposed to be quiet anyways.) I dont care if some one is on the phone in a resteraunt, on the bus, on the sidewalk, outside, inside, whatever.
www.neisd.net/data/ is where I went to Highschool, they did 2d, 3d computer art as well as many other things, im sure the teachers there would be helpful to you. however they are using comercial software but the ideas will be mostly usable in any software package
"What about the devastating effect that the 9/11 attacks had on the Airlines and Travel industry (and thus related industries)?? Is that Bush's fault? The job numbers were certainly affected by that."
Well he didn't stop the attacks, so I guess I could blame him...;-)
In all seriousness I dont know if he could have stopped them if he tried.
I would think (hope) that a little more leway would be given since the content of the speech, while funny, is also political. Political speech is one of the most protected forms in the country.
I'm only a sophomore CS student at UT austin, but I believe I have the answer.
A stack is a data structure designed with last in, first out. The perfect example is a stack of dishes that need to be washed. I wash the dishes on the top, and as my assistants bring in more dishes I end up washing the newer ones first rather than the older dishes.
However I dont exactly know how TCP/IP makes use of a stack.
Yes, to a certain size. But since the atmosphere is thinner, there will be less friction therefore smaller meteors will make it to the ground while a comparable sized meteor would have burned up in Earth's atmosphere.
I still think its dumb to even consider terraforming mars until we bring it's gravity up to earth's level, that means hundreds, if not thousands, of years of asteroid impacts and space dust.
Then mars would support a thicker atmosphere and if you were really ambitious you would hold off until we had the technology to smack mars with something the size of the moon, nearly breaking it in two. Then when the combined gravity pulls the 2 masses back into a sphere ther will be a significant production of heat and mars would once again have an active magma system like earth does.
That is what I have always done, never had a problem.
And if you make the mistake of waiting and get that old virus that makes the computer restart in 30 seconds. Just change the date to a month back and you have 30 days to fix up your computer.
In the edition case most likely it would fall in your favor because you are still releasing the work, even though it is revised.
However I could see a lawsuit brought against you to allow the copying of the older version if they thought they could prove that you took a good book, and utterly destroyed it, through censoring or bad grammar, more mistakes, or took out some of the better examples from the previous edition. In that case I could see a reasonable court (jury or judge) then allowing the copying of at least the omitted/"better" material from the previous edition, less likely would it grant copying of the whole thing.
"Or what if I just decide that I don't want my book/photo/software/whatever circulating any more? Maybe I had a religious conversion and decided that my IP is no longer fit for use in any decent society, so now I want to bury it. If it's my property, don't I have the right to lock it away?"
Well that is a bit of a debate but copyright has a dual purpose. Its main purpose is to encourage the spreading of knowledge and the arts. The framers felt that the best way to encourage this would be to allow the creators a LIMITED monopoly on their creations. The point at which the author's actions no longer benefit society is the point at which he may lose his protection under copyright law.
Now no one is going to force you to keep publishing your work which you now believe to be the greatest sin you ever committed. Instead once you decide to stop publishing it Lessig wants the public to have the right to make its own copies because you have abandoned your work.
Awww come on guys this is funny shit. Too many times in meta moderation I see funny moderations for absolutely retarded things, this is actually funny and gets nothing???

I hope you aren't serious. I would kill a million rats to get me a new heart if I needed one.

Well yes, both sides can shoot the other's down, but that might be considered an act of war.
When the context is international law and war, talking about rights doesn't get you far, because not much is based on them in this area.

mod Parent up, this is a great idea.
I'm thinking it s aprogram that all can use, but not interoperate together.

"Better yet, use Verbatim dual layer DVD's with the film stored frame by frame as TIFF."
;-)
Being slahsdot I thought we had to promote PNG?
you need to upload at slightly below your max 75-90% so you dont kill your download speed.
so would you rather I write "cant have a republic if people dont vote?"
This CNN article seems to say the US doesnt believe it was a nuke.

When I read it I thought he was talking about a white list, not a black list.
You are getting into the differences between open source and free software.
The word "open" only implies ability to see into.
What you are complaining about is lack of freedom to use that code you saw.

just install zonealarm as the first thing you do

also a quirky note.
If you increase and then decrease the text size, it will always fix the rendering of slashdot...not sure what the problem is though.
Yeah we are all stuck on Riverside LOL
Calling in from Jefferson Commons at the Ballpark on Pleasant Valley and Elmont...and Wickersham
I talked about something like this in this post on another story a week or 2 ago.
There were some legit problems people brought up, but I think they could mostly be tackled.
Apparently the key is getting linux to work with "winmodems" that have had the features I described for a very long time.
I dont think the Federal goverment forced Bell to make sure his phone technology was wiretappable. It just worked out that way.
