Which doesn't help when there is no alternative routes to use because ARPAnet style infrastructure isn't used anymore - No fail overs. You nuke a city that has an IXP, it's highly unlikely anyone but the biggest telecommunications networks have a secondary peering with another IXP setup and they won't route traffic for others because they don't act as IXPs. And even if you did have a system setup to fail over, most automated BGP updates for route changing take much longer than the OS's default timeout for packets, so a ARQ isn't going to be of much use at all in this instance.
TCP on the internet will still do re-routing around failed paths. You fail.
Not without negotiated peering which ARPAnet didn't require, it won't. And considering that most IXPs are in major cities, and service providers don't usually peer with more than one IXP, nor do back bone providers provide redundant connections geographically like traditional ARPAnet... One nuke, yeah, I don't expect magic rerouting to happen.
The Internet was designed with a very specific failure mode in mind: big cities and their switching centers being obliterated, i.e. nuked, and the need to route around the damage.
You're confusing the Internet and ARPANET. The Internet does not offer the same level of redundancy or fail overs in such a situation because it's all about having uplinks with various IXPs and uplink providers that didn't exist on ARPAnet - There was no need to have formal agreements to do any sort of fail over on ARPAnet. The Internet is not designed the same way, the network topology is different, hell, even the protocol was different (NCP).
I have been waiting on Whispersys to update for a while now. All they've done is remove their downloads instead. I am not impressed. That's not really "out there".
On Windows you can use the Hardware ID on the Details tab (in Device Manager)
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68BA&SUBSYS_E144174B&REV_00
Google the string and you will be able to find a driver (just like in Linux).
Except you don't need to google the string on Linux, because the lspci very rarely ever fails to identify the device/chipset - even if the kernel doesn't support the device, so, not just like Linux.
That's not any easier or equal to Linux in this area, in my opinion.
Like it or hate it, Device Manager is a cake-walk to use and anybody can figure it out in a few minutes.
You get "Unknown device" in the device manager and you have no idea what it is or what driver or anything, you can't grab a driver from windows update, because windows update doesn't have it. The only way to know is if the driver is installed that you don't have installed because you don't know what driver you need which is fairly difficult if you're just given a machine, with no information as to what it's components are and expected to install a version of Windows with whatever drivers it needs without opening the case.
At least on Linux you can do a lspci and identify what hardware is there and what drivers you need to install. With stuff like "Hardware Drivers" (in Ubuntu) where you just point and click to install proprietary drivers when you want them, it's not really any worse than Windows at that point.
Is there a good resource for finding Linux friendly hardware?
and it does just work. Its a chat system, and you can chat.
Except not properly with the multi-headed messenger/texting support server-side, so the "chat system" doesn't "just work" like you claim.
All the shiny blinking colorful new features are stuff added later, which can be gone any time when icq decides that flash games in the icq-client are no so good idea as they thought some time ago or something like this.
whatever you might need of your fancy new "look a new version" features, saying "nope" when somebody else says that pidgin just works for him is just wrong.
It doesn't just work when it doesn't. You didn't say "it works for my uses" you stated "it just works".
What were those links you dug I had to blow away then from Jay Little, Jeremy Reimer, & Thor Schmuck then?
You are mistaken, you didn't blow them away. If you did, they wouldn't be the first results when Googling your name.
They weren't ontopic, were they??
Considering the topic of this article, nope.
So, why did you attempt to use them vs. myself then?
I used them as counters to your point and wondering if you left search results up because you respected them, as opposed to failing to get rid of them.
You fail, badly...
Cool story, Bro. I'm not the one getting all tense and writing in capitals and bold etc.
...& you resorted to that 'fabled "last resort"', lol!......It's certainly a LOT better off than you are after this (lol)......Man, talk about "pot calling a kettle black"... lol!......a commercial product (you had no proof of this & vainly *tried*, lol...
LOL!
I wanted to see proof
And I gave it to you and then you started the whole goal post changing again.
Did you attempt illogical ad hominem attacks here directed MY way also, only to FAIL 3 TIMES MORE?
Attacks? Nope, never did/attempt or otherwise any attacks against you. You're really paranoid.
Mainly since they're failed attempts @ "trolling"
I see these posts as being very good examples of exposing your nature and your inability to process the reality of the situation.
They truly ARE, the sign of the "defeated troll"... lol, and you resorted to them.
How much more effort to you expend into replying to "tell me more", than I spent writing that reply again?
P.S.=> Funny lastly how I can produce PROOF
Funny how you say you're willing to accept proof and then suddenly change the goal posts when I show it to you. I can equally produce proof if I want to, I just don't feel inclined to because of your behavior.
How do your words taste after you had to eat them, after stating you doubted I was part of SuperCache by SuperSpeed.com/EEC Systems?
I didn't get that far, I read the first search result on you instead, as I said earlier, I'm just not easily motivated to do anything for a random angry guy on the Internet.
Sorry, I won't visit a site you control
Regardless, that fulfills your "IF you would have come up with 1 piece of proof of YOU being a developer on that project" requirement. I don't care for your changing of goal posts.
what IS your name anyhow?
According to the first search result on your name, you harass people's ISPs and other crap. Why would I knowingly give that information to you? I don't care enough to deal with your tantrums.
Plus, it's not a commercially sold program either... despite your b.s. that "NDA prohibit you talking" (that is TOTAL b.s. - if you wrote part of something like that, then HOW WOULD YOU CLAIM IT AS PART OF YOUR RESUME otherwise?)
Easy, it goes along the lines of "Developed an ecommerce system for a major retailer using Oracle's ATG framework" etc.
Far from angry here
Your bold and caps says otherwise, guy.
To that, I produced Microsoft's OWN DOCUMENTATION on it?
Two points. 1) Microsoft doesn't have a good reputation here. 2) Microsoft is a huge company and bound to make mistakes.
He's still "sore" from defeating himself (just as YOU have here, troll)...
In my opinion, defeat is when I type your name in a search box and click "I'm feeling lucky" and find out you're a well known "asshole", "troll" and gloat a lot.
P.S.=> IF you would have come up with 1 piece of proof of YOU being a developer on that project (especially SOLE developer, not part of a TEAM of them)?
http://exodusviewer.com/apk.txt
but, you can't prove any of it!
Sure I can. I'm just not easily motivated to do anything for a random angry guy on the Internet.
(Which only 1 other "troll" of mine here on/. had ever come up with to show for themselves - I respected him for it though, unlike yourself @ this point!)
Was it this guy (first result when searching your name)?

Calm down, APK. It's called a "joke".
Why are they yelling in the website's title?
Switch to crashplan+. I use them and I don't get such stupid non-sense.
I disagree. They are effectively diversifying so no one product will destroy the future of VMware if it becomes unpopular. This is a good thing.
I have been waiting on Whispersys to update for a while now. All they've done is remove their downloads instead. I am not impressed. That's not really "out there".
I got excited reading that.
Then my excitement sunk and turned into disappointment when I read those words.
They have EULAs?
But we don't get to vote in or out Herman Van Rompuy, Jose Manuel Barroso or Martin Schulz - Who happen to be the European presidents.
According to Pokemon lore, the more gym badges you have, the more respect they will have for you and follow you orders.
But, they didn't even develop Pokemon to begin with, Game Freak did that.
Except they aren't, because they aren't the ones developing it.

Linus uses Apple hardware at the moment to my knowledge.
Except not properly with the multi-headed messenger/texting support server-side, so the "chat system" doesn't "just work" like you claim.
I didn't even notice ICQ had games.
It doesn't just work when it doesn't. You didn't say "it works for my uses" you stated "it just works".
Handling of ICQ's server side multi-headed messaging support, SMS support and proper phone number based contacts.
Nope.

Tell me more.
tl;dr - But from the length I assume you disagree.
Do you think you got played on the third Google search result?

The second search result I got on Google was this:

In my opinion, you got played.
