I found the following adblock filter on slashdot somewhere, but don't have the reference handy, so I just copied/pasted my copy. There should be no spaces in any of the lines, and all lines start with/ and end with/. There are some false positives with these rules on some sites. But for most other sites, you just don't see ads on pages anymore. (I am not sure how well these rules would work against popup ads though.)
You forgot one step. Check their digital signatures or file hashes (from a trusted source) before installing said patches.
Using openssl to generate hashes.

If your system has an md5sum command, it will also have a sha1sum command. Same idea, different output: feed each of them a file and they will give you a hash of that file that fits in 128-bits (md5) or 160-bits (sha1).
If you have "openssl" installed, you could also use openssl to generate the hashes. (supported hashes)
For md5 hashes:
$ openssl md5 filenames...
Output: MD5(filename)= hash
For sha1 hashes:
$ openssl sha1 filenames...
Output: SHA1(filename)= hash
Think of what you see when you're watching someone on the news "live" from somewhere via satelite. There is at least a full 1-2 second delay before he/she responds to a question. Thats the speed of light delay causing that, you've hit a brick wall of physics.
Could the 1 to 2 second delay also be caused by video compression?
The only problem with adding IPSec (or any form of encryption) into the equation is that it may add some additional latency in the call audio that may affect call quality since there is some overhead to hashing data, encrypting it, encapsulating that encrypted and hashed data into a certain packet type then sending the new larger packet type across a network which the other end then has to decrypt the data and verify the hash along with doing their normal duties of just accepting data and coping with occasional jitter (varying latency causing packet reordering). I am not sure if some of today's VoIP adapters are powerful enough to do all this themself (then again, I don't know much about the actual power available in voip adapters or how much is required for IPSec-like security features).
Hmm. I thought the font issue was already solved, at least in SUSE, where font sizes at a given point are exactly the same size (or very close to it) in different resolutions. I vaguely remember reading somewhere, that it was actually an X related feature where it calculates the actual pixel heights/widths based on the DDC info from the monitor that contained the monitor's actual height/width, and if it cannot get that info, it defaults to something (I think).
Actually, no version of SuSE, that I know of, has ever included nvidia's binary drivers. It seems as if they do merely because they offer the ability to fetch them and install them for you in their Yast Online Update utility. That utility just grabs the fetchnvidia.sh script, verifies its signature, and then runs it to fetch the nvidia driver and install it for you.
Yea. That monthly cap effectively limits you to about 193k/s sustained 24/7 or you would end up going over the cap by the end of the month with 24/7 downloading. 500GB could be used up in roughly 6 days of using the max download speed 24/7.
Maybe it is caused by people typing with bad posture for years on or not taking enough breaks (at least 5 to 10 minutes an hour) when typing for long periods of time.
For some people, the upgrade was already in place in their area, but they didn't see the increased speeds until they rebooted their cable modem, by simply unplugging and replugging the power cable to the cable modem.
I guess it might also be because they tend to include various plugins by default that people would normally have to download and install separately if they got Mozilla or Firefox instead, such as maybe Shockwave Flash and Java.
Sadly, teaching an elderly person, who has never used a computer before, how to use a mouse isn't so easy and some elderly people just can't use a mouse properly due to their hands shaking badly.

Now, how would that work with VoIP, which is usually entirely via UDP?

Then how do you make money if everyone is out solving problems on their own?

What happens when you get a bad sector in an encrypted container? Would more data be lost than if the data weren't encrypted?
