a neat idea would be a streaming hybrid model for this. vaguely like the blizzard torrent system, but prioritized by the time in the stream.
basically, start streaming from server, then download other pieces from peers, with nearer pieces having higher priority. if an adequately fast peer with a needed-right-now piece cannot be found, it would be downloaded from the server.
obviously, BT is not the appropriate protocol for this, but creating such a system would be an interesting idea.
It has not been ruled upon. The author is clueless. They have merely been denied a summery judgment, which means this is going to trial, not that the trial is over.
which they have the right to modify without notifying me. I am pretty sure they can't legally do that. They might put it in the contract, but I am pretty damn sure that cannot be legally enforced. Get a lawyer.
I'd go incompetence before malice. Many of 2wire's gateways (2700 series particularly) have the same problem, possibly worse. Go above maybe 300 incoming/outgoing connections and the modem will either lock up (requiring a hard reset), restart on it's own (takes about a minute to get back running), start dropping connections one at a time, then lock up (hard reset needed), or (this one is really odd) drop all current connections, restart, resync, but it'll temporarily forget about the connection profile and run the connection at the maximum speed possible on the line for about 20-30 minutes, then it goes back to normal. It's just generically stupid design work AFAICT.
I was under the impression LCDs consumed a fairly constant power regardless of the displayed colour. All the color is the orientation of the subpixels, which control the colour levels let through from a constant source (CCFL or LEDs).
but it's often the best that can be done when the problem isn't actually fixable, such as when it's a known problem with windows or a recovered transient glitch that windows can't recover from without a reboot.
Yeah, I'm currently working in-house also. Well, sorta. Front-line support for most (health and a few other departments have their own IT guys) of the provincial government.
I don't get the visiting and gifts bit, as I talk to people strewn all over the province, but it's a good work environment, largely due to the lack of having to deal with the general public.
Lots of people curse the computers (especially the hacked together VAX system justice uses) or the need for paperwork, but never at me.
most commonly, because they're lazy or because they think the solution has nothing to do with the problem. most commonly, the no-ip-address-assigned problem (limited-or-no-connectivity error in windows) and they figure rebooting wouldn't do anything, but it fixes it 7 times out of 10 (1.9 timea is winsock screwed up (usually some nasty spyware), 1 time is bad IP acquisition settings (set for a static IP when they're on dynamic) and 0.1 times is something actually wrong with our end. (usually a new install with the jumpers run wrong).
having also worked tech support, i would insist upon doing that as a lot of the time (60%+), the person is lying through their teeth and that one step (usually restarting the modem/computer/etc.) is what solves the problem.
yes, though there are several that really are incompatible and will really screw things up if forced, like the google toolbar for instance, which i use very frequently for the spellcheck, as the built-in one can't seem to cope with my spelling and gives oddball results where the google one figures out what i mean.

As if they don't have enough to worry about, now we /. them!
My point was that washing wouldn't take the bacteria off, unless you're using boiling or soapy water.

That study is about aluminum foil hats, not tin foil.
IMO, pesticides are easier to wash off than bacteria/fungi/etc. Take the relatively recent e coli outbreak in organic spinach for instance.
so we're gonna slashdot slashdot?

my spellchequer is dephective.
Gouging is good for profits, therefore, you're both right.

confirmed they do or confirmed they don't?

for a certain value of "fix". GP is possibly considering that nothing short of "will never happen again, ever" qualifies as "fixed".

for a suitable value of usable. both have a fairly sizable collection of issues.

what does gecko have to do with anything? IETab pulls in trident (IE's renderer), which is what allows it to render IE-ified pages.
ok, that's half of the solution, but the other half is still MIA.
