I mean, how difficult is that to understand? VOD is most wasteful of backbone bandwidth. Bandwidth that telcos actually pay of and complain about.
You don't get on demand stuff with Net Flix or similar providers. You get into a queue and they send you what is available. Similar with multi-cast. You can subscribe to watch some movie. The movie is downloaded within a certain about of time (hours to few days). Then you watch it.
Actually no. Copyright reform is NOT needed. Copyright laws were just fine until some twats messed it it up by extending the copyright.
Patent reform is needed, not copyright reform.
I use GPL, LGPL, BSD and similar software and abide by the terms of these licenses. And I do not pirate anything. Days where you've had an excuse that you needed something but can't afford it are *gone*. Can't afford Windows and Office? Use Linux/BSD/Solaris and OpenOffice. Want to hack code but can't afford a compiler - there is gcc so no excuse.
People that abide by terms of GPL will also abide by terms of non-free licenses. People that don't abide by GPL will ignore terms of non-free licenses as well.
Mexico police is involved in kidnappings as well. You'd be surprised how close to reality a movie like "Man On Fire" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328107/ ) with Danzel Washington actually is.
How the hell will you know if it was changed when you never visited it before??
Firefox does it right. Self-signed certs are worthless for anyone but people that created the cert and people that they shared it with by GPG signed mail, for example.
Listen, Tim. HTTP is unencrypted - no need for warning. HTTPS is suppose to be encrypted. The self-signed certificate LOOKS *EXACTLY* the same as a MAN IN THE MIDDLE ATTACK.
HTTP is susceptible to man in the middle attacks and there is little you can do to detect it. But HTTPS with a certificate that is not authenticated with a 3rd party the THE ONLY way to identify connection has been compromised!
To me, sites using self-signed certificates are compromised. You can't afford a cert, then why can you afford a web server?? I mean, the issue about affordability and SSL has LONG PAST. $10/year for cert. You pay more for static IP to host it.
Don't use self-signed https in your mom's basement "server" because it is 'cool' and expect people to trust it. The cert is worthless for anyone except you anyway.
Charging pads? I mean, how lazy are people to simply plug in their iPod?
You know, maybe instead of some "charging pad" we just need a universal adapter, something rectangular, maybe, that could be used to charge things. Maybe call it Universal Systems Battery connector or something....
Seriously, wire connector == ~100% efficiency for power transfer. This world does need a few hundred more coal power plants spewing mercury, uranium and other crap all over us so we don't have to plug in our 20th generation iPod MicroNuker Edition.
You broadcast stuff, like you do with TV. You broadcast movies or whatever content that then you can save and play at your leisure. Oh wait, isn't that kind of like TV? With a DVR?
Yeap, multi-cast was there to allow cheap broadcasting of thousands of channels to hundreds of millions of users, cheaply and effectively. But which telco/cable company would like that?
and cannot comprehend TWO (2) words taken *together*?
GLOBAL WARMING
What does this mean? It means the Warming of the Globe, as in "WARMING OF PLANET EARTH SYSTEM", not warming of Miami or warming of London or warming of Beijing. Maybe GLOBAL WARMING is too scientific term for people to comprehend, I don't know.
There is no "global climate instability" or "hurricane increase" or "hurricane decrease" or whatever else you want to call it. That is NOT IT. It is simply, Planet Earth System, as a whole, retaining more heat thus warming up some. This will affect climate, but why would it necessarily mean "instability"?? That is completely unknown for now.
Global warming is NOT a misnomer. It is an *exact* representation of what is happening. Climate Change most likely will result as a consequence of Global Warming, but Global Warming Climate Change!!
It is the *flash* plugin that is accessing your "Linux" (X,KDE,Gnome,etc) clipboard and writing over it. The exploit does NOT care it is running on Linux.
Keas are one of the most intelligent creatures on this planet. They can recognize their own image in a mirror *very quickly* even if they haven't seen a mirror before..
Of course it is now threatened with extinction thanks to retarded humans killing it and others putting up a tax money to kill it. Fortunately, it is now protected species.
Maybe NASA is trying to, you know, innovate? This generally involves "untested principles"
Why do we have these so called engineers here questioning everything and saying they would do 100x better? This is kind of sad.
Solid boosters tend to have less moving parts, so their problems tend to only be related to design and manufacturing. No pluming and turbo-pumps to worry about. No pogo. The only issue right now is vibration and reducing crazy 6G vibrations down to 0.25G is great work.
Frankly, I like the current Nasa concept of using solid fuel booster like this.
This study is like a those Microsoft studies where they found "XP/Vista more productive and stable than UNIX installations" where the people questioned were the ones from MS-only shops.
These researchers is *propagada* as hell and *shame* on the editors that even allowed posting of this crap.
There isn't enough women around. So women are "valued property". But since they are also human beings, you can't really lock them away so if women walk around, they are attracting attention from other men. This causes a conflict between men. Men don't like conflicts. And the immediate cause is women walking around. So, you cover them up to pretend they are not women. And lock away as much as possible.
It is not the hatred of women - men just don't want to lose their women property. That's why women have "freedom" at home, but none outside.
What is the solution, aside from pretending there is no women and internal war for possession of women? Ruthless control over men by men in power (generally the ones with women). But that only works to a degree. Eventually it *must* breaks down (years or centuries, but it will not last).
Polygamist societies are just as uneven as racist societies. You get similar situation as in apartheid in South Africa. But that just doesn't last.
Of course, no one raises these issues on then international arena. The subject is taboo, especially in the fsked up societies that have these problems.
Anyway you look at it, a society where men do not have access to women (or vice versa), for whatever reason, is fsked up. Polygamy is one reason. But then consider other reasons like female infanticide in India and China and you have a serious problem going forward that is as bad as polygamy. (same result, different cause)
Those specialized bikes are not allowed in peloton because of safety issues. If there is a crash, you don't want those pointy aerodynamic stuff being thrust up your ars now, do you?
Tour is about bike race and strategy, not about bicycle types. That's why you can only ride regular bikes. If we get these crazy looking bikes,
Another time he set a forest on fire with a frenell lens and some magnesium... Nobody ever got hurt and society is certainly better for his contributions as an adult.
Oh, ok. So maybe we should all start setting forest fires then? The society will be better off then.
Blowing ones arms off is one thing, but setting a forest on fire is not exactly "nobody got hurt".
Grandstream 286 and their BudgeTone phones work *great*.
I also have the Sipura-3000 (Linksys now) and that works well - Sipura has a lot of weird telco-settings though. Much more advanced interface but can have echo problems on PSTN line.
Basically,
PSTN
=> Sipura
==> House analog line
==> Asterisk
+-> SIP provider
Sipura-3000 has independent Line and PSTN lines so basically you can call someone through outgoing provider (SIP) and someone calls you on PSTN and leaves a message or whatever.
An excellent way to get rid of ALL telemarketers as they don't have keypads. So just set Asterisk to answer the PSTN calls and require people to press 1 to reach Bob or whatever. 0 telemarketer calls in last 2 years:)
Zoom SIP gateway thought, doesn't seem to work well.
Corruption brings down governments. Corruption is responsible for most ailings in China and most definitely responsible for almost all problems in Africa.
Why do you think substandard buildings were allowed to be built that collapsed in the earthquake? Because everyone takes a bribe and looks other way. Then they will crucify one or two (maybe) but corruption will continue. And corruption == injustice => unhappy people => revolt.
All I had to do was travel to Toronto for few days and I was feeling scratchy throat and "like something was coating my lungs". That was NOT on a smog alert days which I think is when their particulate matter is over 50 or something. Well, Beijing has PM10 readings of about 4x that. 4x what in Toronto is a smog alert.
Sorry, but I would not go there to compete about anything. And if you live there and think it is not bad, go somewhere without smog, like central Australia or central canada (eg. Manitoba) or mid-west US or someplace like that. Then I *dare* go back to Beijing and tell me that it is not too bad.
I know what I speak off. I used to live in Poland with their coal fired house heating. After snow fell, it become coated with soot after a few hours (gray coating). Frankly, I never knew there is such a thing as *clean snow* until I came to Canada. Here, snow is as clean on the day it fell as it is 5 months later when it melts.
People living in cesspools like that have NO IDEA the shit they are living in. You have to GET OUT and live someplace else for a while, then go back and compare.
The only thing I can compare this too is like getting your first pair of glasses. You think you can still see fine, but your eyesight is crappy and foggy. Then you get your eyeglasses and you can't believe how sharp everything is! Same thing with pollution. It sneaks up on you until you can't breath anymore. And then you end up complaining that it must be the food or something unrelated.
Wake up people. Wake up and put on your first glasses to see the crap you area breathing!
No. I do not hate Maoist style communists. I do not like anyone that denies *reality* for propaganda purposes. Of course, this also includes the so called "communists" in China as well as some standing under Mission Accomplished banners on aircraft carrier.
Anyone that stands there proclaims fact A in-spite of the facts - I do not believe that person anymore.
But then maybe this makes me a "science hugger" or whatever term is coined for that. You know, people that look at facts as they are and can change their mind in light of new information? You know, people that *think*?
So no, I do not hate "Maoist style communists" because,
1. I do not know enough about them
2. I do not believe in extremist's propaganda vs. communists (they also hate Castro for some reason while they supported Batista - Castro cared and did a lot more for Cuba than Batista even cared to think)
3. China is rifled with corruption. So called "Maoist style communists" that people hate is probably more to do with that corruption than the actual economic ideology.
4. There is a lot worse abuses around the world than in China yet same people that so crazily *hate* the Chinese leaders do not exactly hate or care about the real atrocities.
5. Most reasonable people do not hate - hate is an irrational emotion. And if you can hate one thing, you can easily be manipulated to hate another, including your own mother.
6. China doesn't have "Maoist style communists" anymore. None that actually matter. All of them basically converted to nationalistic "china first - me second - rest way behind" type of people.

The point is, they want root access or effective root access to install root kits so their network sockets and processes are hidden from the user.
With user account their virus is visible. Their network traffic is visible.
