When companies seek to recover these kinds of profits, they cut something more important.
Their reputation.
Most likely, they will move their call centers out of India and into a lower paying 3rd world country. The lower techs will be given even less latitude to help fix problems. Along with that, they will reduce access (and numbers) of higher up support, along with "new policies" of the 'not our fault' game.
They will obviously cut their unprofitable programs, such as their IdeaStorms website, all Linux support for low and middle tiers, along with the cheaper customizable options. They will leave customizing available for the higher packages, as all businesses cater to the big spenders.
Yes, our system is based upon a race to the bottom, but depending how you get there means if you survive or not. That really depends on how their deals with Microsoft go, as they are parasites upon MS.
If I was this ISP and had to make a choice, I'd do it the following::If we have spyclient installed, watch for certain pattern of data through high# ports. IP dest and dest port should not matter, as to prevent detection:Bridges between customer backbones that watch all data from specified port.:The bridge captures and saves pertinent data to separate spy-net that they can watch, not interfere
All this talk only brings bad blood. Anyways, unencrypted traffic can be viewed at any point from source to destination. If people cared, they'd use encrypted tech to hide what they do. I have a hunch that most people "Just Dont Care".
Then, what say you about the allegory of the cave put forth by Plato? The Matrix is just a movie describing what was put forth 2500 years ago, but with a sci-fi bent.
Can we expect those who grew up with the darkness to ever be accustomed to light of truth?
For me, I have originating site brackets off. I just mouseover to see where it goes (and ignore the baddies).
I do think its a cruel sense of humor, and many people think that;P Look at my freaks list.. There's at least a hundred of em.
My major problem creating it was keeping it within 120 chars for signatures. in order to do it, you need to trim as much as you can, like./my/logout for the urls. Somehow, slashdot then appends what it needs to for the complete urls found here and thus works. Before that, I was doing stuff with the bad unicode chars (reversing and mirroring text).
I figured it was an ontopic discussion, even if it was sort of an ad.
Pretty much, we all think that this soundcard was chose to be todays woot! because of Slashdot and like dissing Creative for their horrendous treatment of a driver modder. Like I said, Id buy it but I'm not in need of a new soundcard.
Also, in the past, I was bitten by the Via-SBlive corruption. Wiped out the FAT on a 40GB hd. Lets just say that Creative isnt exactly a favorite company in my book.
I was giving an example of hidden information that was not OOB. Given a proper codebook, one could make seemingly normal speech into codes. No amount of static in the background is going to stop that.
Now about the codebook... Anonymously put it on a FTP server GPG'ed and zip passworded (yes, zipasswd to prevent finding which public keys it uses).
Yeah, it could encourage creation of more javascript and flash hackery to display ads. As an example (which I am NOT linking to) is the GNAA's Last Measure, in which images of fecaljapan, lemonparty, goatse, penisbird rapidly pop up and move around the screen to prevent closing them. Even though this is a shock site, it represents the hack attempts by advertisers.
They should be rightfully ignored and blocked.
Instead, text ads are not blocked. Google proved that one, as that is what they use.
What is the benefit for me viewing ads? Oh yeah, I "steal content".
It is MY choice what images I load, what scripts I render, and what HTML code I accept. You have NO SAY.
I have no qualms to disable ads any way I can, and I will show/set up ad killers so that my clients can surf safer and distraction free.
My setup does not block text ads... You want a way to our eyeballs, make ads like Kuro5hin.org . I recently bought a VPS because of an NON-obtrusive ad I viewed there.
Law uses similar situations to render judgment for future happenings.
Kazaa is the older example, and rendered that sharing by the program is NOT "making available".
So explain why BT is not the case?
How does a non-techie know it also uploads? What if a non-techie knows it does upload, but sets upload to 0kb/s. Is he "making it available"? Does being in the IP-map on the BT server account for "making available", even if they are not? If the user is sharing, but no chunks pass checksum, is that "making available"?
Then claim BS things like "We provide the pipe, not that the pipe can be filled". and "We reserve the right to do anything to the downstream and upstream as we see fit. We wrote the contract, so bend over."
Slashdot Mirror
Outsourcing lowers the GDP of our country, reducing our buying power. What logically happens is jobs are removed from our country.
Now, tell me how people can afford to buy stuff if they have no job, or one that pays 1/2 as much?

Then I can run a Linux router, with honeyd where the backdoor must be.

I am personally interested in the LK 2.2 implementation found here.
;)
I would love if this was brought current to FUSE on 2.6 , as I have many ideas on creating stegfs files via ftpfs and googlemailfs.
Steged cd's would also be intersting... What IS this jibberish
They going to "federally mandate" it in my house?
Ive got tripwire everywhere on my server. I also check it every so often with a clean disk for kernel based trojans.
Like I said, how exactly they going to do it?
Today, after the woot-off, woot.com is offering a Razer Barracuda AC-1 Sound Card. As in NOT CREATIVE ;) 55$ for it's a good deal.
Click on the picture to see how they break out that massive weird looking port.
I dont work for them. I just go rabid over bags of crap.

I repeat, the butterfly flaps its wings twice.
The same could be said about your ISP.. Or their ISP.. Or their ISP..
Unless each point is using some sort of encryption along with authentication, data capture at an exit node can happen anywhere.

We all are smart (or many claim to be). We push Firefox and such software so we take control of the web.
Every machine has a hosts file in which machines can be locally defined.
So, lets take what we know and make ads gone.. maybe not all of them.. Lets start with the annoying ones first.
First, get Firefox.
Next, we gets some plugins:
Adblock Plus
NoScript
NukeAnythingEnhanced
Flashblock
What, you dont like being watched? Now get TOR from tor.eff.org and install it, along with accompanying firefox plugin for proxy changing
Set up TOR and now you have ad-free browsing, with optional anonymizing surfing when needed (for performance hit).
No Fatality.

HTML is a mess.
The tags are simple enough, its the side effects of what browser you're viewing them on, and then how printing on that platform works.
I like PS and LaTeX myself, but good luck getting them as a standard. They should be though.
That is because Microsoft's implementation is not 100% OOXML compatible.
Just a personal question about your specific cases:
Are your case judgments decided by a jury or a sole judge? In your experience, which do you think is better?
Humiliation!

Not hard.
Raise the contingence ratio to 50:1
Then claim BS things like "We provide the pipe, not that the pipe can be filled". and
"We reserve the right to do anything to the downstream and upstream as we see fit. We wrote the contract, so bend over."
Oh... Thats what they do now.
What's a "spineful jellyfish" look like?
