    And since he's not an US citizen he's the one outside the fence that did receive it. And if he did receive it outside US turf then he can at worst be prosecuted on that turf for something.

    The only thing left for the US to do is to discredit him, kill him illegally or just stress him to do something stupid.

    The current size is fiddly enough. Getting a smaller sized connector and I would have to hire a 7 year kid to do the connections.

    The locking pin should have been in the connector and not on the cable, that would have solved a lot of headaches during the years.

    The only thing I have against the modular connectors is that it's too easy to break off the locking tab.

    Optical fibers are nice though, however they are a bit of a headache to repair without good equipment if you break them.

    Don't underestimate the processor performance on the WiFi access point. It may be the actual performance bottleneck.

    Then it's time to set up metal wallpapers. Keeps your signal in and keeps the neighbors signals out. And for complete sealing you have to run IR-proofed windows.

    And you can still put up ordinary wallpaper on top of the metal ones.

    Downside is that your mobile phone won't work, it would be a true cell phone.

  17. Re:How to cope with DDoS? on Unprecedented DDoS Attack At Swedish Government, Media Outlets (www.dn.se) · · Score: 1

    Whenever a DDoS appears just shut down for a while and wait until the shitstorm passes. Nobody can run an attack forever.

    Another way to cope with attacks like this is to run servers on multiple IPs but have different IPs serving domestically compared to foreign traffic. Not a perfect solution but would at least make a DDoS attack a bit harder to execute. Even having transparent proxies may make a DDoS attack harder. Traffic shaping slowing down requests from high frequency sources is also possible.

    Considering that there are people that have evaded the Vietnam War Drafts in Sweden that aren't extradited then it's not too likely he would be sent to the US.

    Today Assange is a moot point anyway, he's actually not that important (he may think so himself, but that's another issue). Also realize that he was primarily wanted for a hearing. If that hearing hadn't yielded anything of value then he would most likely have been sent on his way. As it is now he basically imprisoned himself at the embassy. The time he spent at the embassy is also very likely to have exceeded any imprisonment by a great deal when it comes to a first time offense in Sweden. People sent to prison for 6 months are often let out after 3 provided they don't behave badly.

    So it's hardly likely that it was Assange that was the factor that drove this attack. It's more likely that it had something to do with submarines or islamists.

    How many digits to use depends on the application. For a satellite trajectory the 15th decimal is OK, but if you want to make a sharp mirror the precision in the calculation have to be higher.
