When I was at WWDC I didn't want to pay the $2.70 per minute(roaming) to call home so I tried fring with my skype account. It worked but the latency was terrible and the quality was only OK, not good. I was using the free public wifi at the conference and there were probably 2000 iPhones or more there so who knows, it could have been interference or something. I did however, try it at home and the call quality was still pretty bad. Latency was still kind of high as well but I was behind NAT in both situations.

I get that, but what about cars? They're on public roads and you hear about car bombs more than plane bombs, at least in Iraq and that part of the world. I don't see the point in it at all because no one has proven the need and two, the number of private pilots is only just over 200,000 in the US if I remember correctly.
I have the same setup. AEBS does the N network and I can consistently get 14MBytes/s syncing to my AppleTV over it on 5 GHz which is great for wireless. I turned on wide channels which got me that huge speed boost from about 5MB/s.
That's why you can use the 5.8GHz spectrum for 802.11N. Well, until that gets crowded as well, but at least for now it's pretty free from as many access points. It also has the advantage that your microwave won't interfere with your network.
Where are you getting a price of $2 per year for a domain? I just renewed mine at godaddy and it was about $9 per year for each. Godaddy sucks you in with initially cheap prices but their renewal isn't as cheap.
As long as the pilot doesn't nose down, the plane can glide to the ground. That is assuming the controls are still working. The only reason you need the engines is to remain at an altitude or climb. The plane can act as a glider for as long as it has enough forward air speed to produce the lift required.
I don't necessarily object to having an override in a commercial jet, but if I have my own plane they better not be trying to force me to install some damn device that lets them control it. MY plane, MY property, keep your hands off.
Maybe it's bad for those links but why is the solution to throttle EVERY SINGLE LINK ON THEIR NETWORK including 3rd party links. That makes absolutely no sense. 2-5% is something that they can upgrade to higher capacity fairly quickly. Bell is absolutely not upgrading as fast as they can BTW. They're years behind on their FTTC and ADSL2 deployment. They were supposed to be significantly further along by now according to their plans. They're pretty well holding off on their ADSL2 deployments on most of their network.
The built in QoS on all the open linux firmwares only does outbound QoS. You can use iptables on the linux firmware to do prioritization. Slashdot's filter won't let me post the script because of "too many junk characters" so sorry I can't post it. I didn't make the whole script up myself. There is a program called WRT54 Script Generator v1.02. What I've done is prioritize nntp based on ports and gave it 2-5000Kbps and TCP on port 80 and port 443 to something like 90% minimum of my max connection speed. The script uses the mangle option of iptables to effectively prioritize DOWNSTREAM http over nntp.
This was a huge find for me because an nntp download using 8 connections would kill my connection and trying to download a new podcast for example would take forever. Now, when something on http starts downloading, nntp goes to almost zero, and I really mean zero. It effectively gets killed until the http is finished. All this is running on a WRT54GL with dd-wrt but you should be able to use any of the other firmwares out there. You could easily do this same thing for VOIP. Just tell the script generator that you want your VOIP port to get a minimum of 500Kbps or whatever and it can get a minimum of that speed if it really needs it all.
There are a few companies starting up that are creating software to spy on the ISP's customers. The ISP has to install this box into their data center and it collects data for every subscriber to build a profile. This profile is based on your browsing habits. The companies inject ads into your HTML page to spam you. The ISP gets paid by the companies for this. You are basically getting sold out by your ISP to be spied on by a 3rd party company.
One of these companies is http://www.phorm.com/.
SSL would completely block this. If every website, or at least a large percentage of them, used SSL, even if it was just a domain verified one from a CA so the browsers won't complain, these companies would be out of business before they started. There are large ISPs in the U.K. that are rolling this out already. There are also some ISPs in the USA that are beginning trial installations of this hardware.
Yeah, that's right and it still is true. You don't get to be fat if you're eating only 1800 calories or whatever your maintenance calories are unless you have a legitimate metabolic disorder. I'm done with you because you obviously can't comprehend English.
I'm talking about something as big as Open Office. That's a huge code base and unless you have a lot of spare time it would take quite a while to figure it all out. Luckily most open source projects aren't that big.
OK buddy. No, I don't come from a fat family, have a father with type 2 diabetes, and have myself gotten down to almost a 6 pack. Oh wait, yes I have. Enjoy being fat.
It's not back pedaling, try reading. I'm saying if you were eating 1800 cals or whatever your maintenance cals are you wouldn't be fat. My OP is saying that you don't see someone being fat on only 1800 calories per day. THAT is what I'm trying to say, if you can't get what I wrote. I never said you should eat 1800 cals per day if you weigh 300 lbs. I'm saying if you're 300 lbs there's no way you are eating only 1800 cals or whatever your maintenace calories are. GET IT NOW?? You're pretty god damn sensitive, you might want to check on that.
Uh, well you kind of just proved my point. I didn't say you should drop to 1800 calories right away. That is what leads to most people failing their diets. If you weren't eating more than you need you wouldn't have as much excess fat. High carb diets are prone to high or easy fat gain because it's pure energy that is easy to store as fat.
I'll give you the reporting bugs part, but do you have any idea how long it would take to even begin to understand how the OO code actually works? It's HUGE, and even figuring out how the printing stuff works would take a long time if you're supposedly doing it in your spare time. Sure you might be able to fix a few bugs that result in crashes if you really wanted to track down the problem, but implementing new features in a huge project like that is a monumental task for someone new to the code.
Their main problem is their architecture is complete garbage. Get this: one main MySQL server and 2 slaves. That is it. They didn't really know what they were doing when they first designed it. The current system is pretty much the same as it was when it first rolled out. They are supposedly bringing in people that know what they are doing to scale it up but it's taking a long time.
Many, many fat people are on huge lists of prescriptions due to type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.. They're on these for years while a healthy person is not.
The problem is you aren't guaranteed to get your $300,000 are you? If you watch the documentary Sicko by Michael Moore you will see some good examples of people that obviously need their insurance and have paid a shit load of money already, yet aren't getting what they paid for. Yes, I know that documentary is heavily slanted but it does have some good points to it. At least with universal health care you are guaranteed that you will be looked after. The problems with the speed of care is a separate issue.
That's complete crap. There are different body types, mesomorph, ectomorph, endomorph and combinations of those, but even if you're an endo(easiest to gain fat of the 3), you CAN still become thin if you try. It does take work and you might hate the naturally skinny people(ecto) but you can't blame all your fat on just your genetics. The fat people I've seen have entirely themselves to blame. You don't see a fat person eating an 1800 calorie diet. A lot of the time they skip breakfast or lunch and pig out at night before they go to bed. Or they eat a huge fast food meal of at least half of their entire daily caloric intake in a single sitting.

Yeah, it's called getting your license. There's absolutely no reason for any kill switch device on general aviation.

Looks like 8.99 pounds for a .com domain from them which isn't cheaper. At least you get email accounts with that though.
Where are you getting a price of $2 per year for a domain? I just renewed mine at godaddy and it was about $9 per year for each. Godaddy sucks you in with initially cheap prices but their renewal isn't as cheap.

You can do inbound traffic shaping with iptables and it works well but it requires a little bit of tweaking.
The built in QoS on all the open linux firmwares only does outbound QoS. You can use iptables on the linux firmware to do prioritization.
