No, he meant tom-tit little spelling nazis should be blown to hell. However, another of you meaningless, non-contributory worms will surely surface to criticize me for not capitalizing the nickname of the nationalist socialust party. As my spellchecker already has.

Take a chill pill, Junior. I work in healthcare so I see the acronym HIPAA every day. The original poster also appears to be somewhat familiar with HIPAA:
However, HIPPA is a very fucking scary piece of legislation. If the hospital isn't doing EVERYTHING in its power to determine who's leaking this information, the patient and/or the patient's family (or survivors) can sue the hospital into oblivion. It's in the hospital's financial interest to destroy this guy by any means necessary (both because they'll lose business from negative publicity and the fear of a civil suit); whether it's 'right' or 'wrong' never enters into the discussion.
If we are having a discussion around hospitals and the topic of "HIPAA" comes up, we can at least spell the acronym properly. For those of us in healthcare, HIPAA is quite important (and a major thorn in the side).
If I had corrected the original poster for misspelling the word "truck" or the word "asphalt", I would deserve your wrath. But misspelling the acronym that stands for one of the most importantant (and scary) pieces of legislation in the healthcare world is something that should be corrected. Please note that in addition to offering the correct spelling of "HIPAA", I also offered a link that showed what HIPAA stands for (HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996) so that the original poster and others who copied his/her spelling can remember the correct spelling.
Would it be possible for the open source community to launch a project to essentially make it impossible for a government to cut off its own people from the outside world?
How about we (speaking as a citizen of the U.S.) keep our nose out of other countries' business? We don't need to ride to the rescue every time someone somewhere on the globe is being oppressed. If the government of Myanmar wants to cut-off Internet connectivity to its citizens, that is *not* a reason for the U.S. to meddle in that situation.

Reminds me of the finding that hybrid cars didn't cut down on fossil fuel consumption as much as many people thought because since they were more efficient, people drove them more.
I have heard a similar argument on a local home improvement radio show when discussing tankless water heaters. The "home fix-it expert" claims that tankless water heaters do not save money (when compared to conventional water heaters) because once the residents of a home find that they have unlimited hot water, they take longer showers.
Hello mister pedantic,
In case you were wondering, it is very, very common when talking about state schools to say "[whatever] State" when referring to the school "[whatever] State University/College".
Really? I've never heard anyone say "Wisconsin State". Ever. The most well-known (and the largest by enrollment) non-private university in the state is the University of Wisconsin-Madison (or ewe double-ewe Madison). The smaller state universities are also known as ewe double-ewe $city_name. No one says "Wisconsin State".
A teenager, if really determined, will dedicate their entire resources to try and bypass your controls.
And that's the crux of the matter. It's not a contest to see who is the smarter hacker (parent or child). The parent informs the child that the parent does not want the child viewing certain websites. The parent also mentions that logging/blocking software has been implemented to enforce this policy. If/when the child manages to circumvent the logging/blocking software, the problem is not that the child has access to an unfiltered Internet but instead that the child has directly gone against the parent's directive.
This is a close parallel to Slashdot discussions that happen every two weeks where someone complains about Websense (or a similar product) at their place of employment. The comments following the initial complaint usually sound like this: "Dude, just tunnel yer traffic inside teh ssh over port 443 to your home linux server. Those I.T. a-holes will never catch you!". Those posts always amuse me because even though a person will feel like they've beaten the "Websense nazi" (me), the act of bypassing Websense will result in the termination of the offender's employment. We don't really care what you viewed through your browser when you created your uber-1337 SSH tunnel. The fact that you created it is enough for your employment to be terminated.
No one believes that a determine child (or employee) can be kept from viewing content that has been marked off-limits. This is not a contest between the parent and the child (or I.T. and an employee). The child (or employee) has been warned that they should not view certain sites on the Internet. If you break the rules, there are going to be repercussions...
And yes, "fuck off" is a very mild insult. It isn't even really an insult, but rather a rude way to tell someone to leave the speaker alone. It is worthy of a lecture on manners, not punishment (besides the inherent punishment value of a lecture from a parent;).
If I had told my father to "fuck off" when I lived under his roof, he would have given me an ass-kicking that I'd still be able to feel today (0x16 years later).

Um...no. Don't bring a pickup truck-full of electronics into the hospital room. The nurses have enough to do without stumbling over cords from devices you brought from home. The original poster said that the patient was on a ventilator. There are probably already quite a few electronic medical devices in the patient's room. If you are thinking of bringing in something bigger than a laptop, check with the nurses on that unit first.
Not really; I doubt there are many newspapers that could survive on the cover price with no payments from advertisers,
I used to work for a large newspaper. You are right on-the-mark. The saying around the office was that the income from subscriptions only covered the cost of the ink and the paper.
Advertising revenue is what covered the costs of running a large company (computer systems, payroll, benefits, the presses, buildings, trucks, etc.)
You need to go beyond/25 or/32, and create a substantial amount of subnets.
So if you go past a/32, what exactly are you using for a subnet mask?/33?/34? I'd love to see your network. If you use one host on your/33 subnet to ping another host on your/33 subnet, are the round-trip times negative?;^)
Have you been getting your network design tips from Michael Keaton ("220, 221 - whatever it takes.")?
I don't think that there are many networks that use routers for internal partitioning.
We have *tons* of routers that separate the various subnets (which map 1-to-1 to VLANs) on our internal network. How do you get from one "broadcast domain" to another? Via the default gateway on your own subnet. That is passing through a router. (It may not be a physical box called a 'router' but the packets are still being routed).
That would be rather easy to remove, though; making it easy to avoid the kind of situation the GGP was talking about.
The post I was replying to said "Printers do not have hard drives!" I did a quick Google search to find an example of a "printer hard drive". If you want to get picky about printer hard drives that are not obvious to the printer user/owner, how about this bad boy?
How many people would put their printer on eBay or trade the printer in without taking a printer like that model apart to see if the printer had a hard drive installed inside? That is the question raised by the original post.
The speed of light is more of a limiting factor for latency, and not throughput.
And throughput is affected by latency. Which was the original poster's point. A huge round-trip time will affect the number of Megabits/sec that you can get through a pipe regardless of how big the pipe is.
That said, it's not even a big deal for latency -- light travels at 186,282 miles/second. New York to LA is approximately 2,800 miles.
Light travels through fiber at a slower speed. You'll never see data moving through fiber (ignoring the electronics that have to route the packets) at the speed of light.
Most of the latency/bandwidth lag comes from routing or congestion along the tubes.
I can tell that you've never worked on a long-distance link... You'll be in for quite a shock when you order a 30 Mbit link from NY to LA and find that you can't get 30 Mbits/sec through the pipe. You can't ignore physics (the speed of light in a certain medium) when working on long-distance connections.

So by that logic it makes sense to hire a rapist to protect your daughter from other rapists right? Hire a criminal to protect against the criminal.
That's nonsense! That's like asking one serial killer for help finding another serial killer.

I setup a net4801 in a colo rack to route traffic for 20 vlans via 802.1q to a 48 port switch.
What software were you running on the net4801? A stripped-down Linux? Monowall? I have been thinking of trying the Soekris boards.
Yes, and I can get a pair of shoes or a blowjob for that too.
While where you shop for shoes is your own business, I see no reason to drag your mom into this.
you can set the transmission window relatively high without incurring very many penalties.
I agree, some TCP tuning will help offset the challenges introduced by the large round-trip time.
That would be rather easy to remove, though; making it easy to avoid the kind of situation the GGP was talking about.
