Hackers are excellent at following directions. They are just also excellent at seeing where the directions are flawed and exploiting them. What.. you think steve the hacker is finding holes in your software by guessing? No. He uses the program like it is suppose to be used and then tracks down the issues he is looking to exploit. You can't break a rule if you don't totally understand it.
Did we step in Bizzaro slashdot where we don't see how abused this will be??
make it a felony to use spyware or keyloggers to damage 10 or more computers So basically, I am a felon about 30 times over because of work. Also, how long before installing kazaa becomes a felony because of its loaded spyware? Think about it.
I hear the wicked witch of the west is made of this stuff..
It's made of layers of clay nanosheets and a water-soluble polymer that shares chemistry with white glue
I for one think this thing is amazing! You have to relize that some places getting these laptops may have almost no other computer capabilities. These things may be it, along with one or two old pc's at school. This could really change a lot
Did no one watch Voyager?! This is how the end starts..
First we're all happy people with our little cyborg chips to control our sex bots, then suddenly we take real women and make them sex bots..
and they'd be all like "I love Mr. God man" and be rubbing us, and feeding us grapes..
maybe serving ice cold beer.......
Where can I buy these chips??
What video in your email would an attachment. What would happen is it would get transmitted to your computer slightly slower than other types of data like streaming video or audio...
Which means that your voip phone, streaming music, and or streaming video wouldn't get interrupted by you downloading your mail.
In other words IT WOULD WORK EXACTLY THAT WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO AND WOULD BE FREAKING BRILLIANT!
I was going to take the high road, but fuck it. You're a moron. It already works like that you idiot. I have never once been screwed over by downloading email. Why? Because of the way the internet is designed. Email servers *rarely* get high levels of bandwidth. Why? They are LOW PRIORITY. His fucking router is stupid, it has no actual use. He wants to use a layer 3 device to do what is already done by design. QOS has its uses. VOIP. Thats about it. Video and Audio places have high upload because they need it accomplish the goals they have. Email servers have huge amounts of bandwidth, but not neccessarily the best latency because its not needed.
Infact! I just checked the website http://www.anagran.com/technology_overview.php and it turns out that basically the flow router just looks at what kind of protocol it us using, what port, all that stuff to determine what type of data it is. Then it just uses QOS like services to shape traffic.
This is far from new thinking, infact I have a rack of cisco routers about 50 feet from me that are doing that right now. All VOIP communication(entire office uses VOIP instead of phone lines) gets highest priority and such.
In other news, a new study today announced a stunning break through in psychotropic drug research! Repeated exposure to them has the long term effect of making Gnome and KDE appear identical to Windows.
Shortly after this announcement, a James Burgett was found at a local Denny's dead from appearent posioned grit inhalation.

The equipment analyzes Web traffic to discern whether it is an email, a movie or a phone call and then carves out the bandwidth needed for transmission. Seems as if we are both correct. He does indeed set bandwith aside for its use, but it could very well just be that is creating a virtual circuit and letting it run through there.
Either way, the same problem exists.
How can you tell from a few packets how much data it really contains?
Even if the first packet clearly states: "This entire message is 2.3 megabytes" that would rely on the packets data being correct. The only way it could be correct would be to either send the entire message out, THEN craft that packet, then have the packet go out. This would of course require the orginal message to be set if limbo somewhere(eating resources). If he didn't, then he would rely on various programs to be connect in there message size estimatations.
So unless FS's suddenly become FAR more accurate, we would have terabytes a day of wasted "set aside" bandwidth. This would not help the problem at all.. infact I would wager it makes it worse.
Also the latency would be horrible! Everyone seems to forget that the internet is now used in such ways that low latencys are required by most programs. Not just games, but chat, data streaming, interactive internet programs in general.
Only here on slashdot can we have one article http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/02/1631217 whining about the internets short comings.
Then have another article complaining about companies and how they upgrade to fiber.
Look, verizon should have every right on earth to move someone from old copper to new Fiber. Why? Its less upkeep. Does this mean some companies can't use the copper? Sure does!
*THATS GOOD* Fiber == Future.
Copper == Past.
This is the idea of capitalism, we want an even playing field for companies so that they can edge out the competition with better prices/ideas. Verizon is doing that, and quiet well. They are edging out older ideas with newer ones. The fact they are disconnecting copper does not stop these companies from coming back and RECONNECTING them. Does it?
You guys can mod me down for this.. but umm.......

Who cares? I never even heard about this stupid argument before. I wasn't even aware people still were fighting over wifi "stuff".
P.S. No I did not RTFA.

These lawyers are the very very top shelf of law. Need proof? How many laws have the RIAA broken and gotten away with?

2. ???
3. Portman with grits?
Hazzah!! Summary: 1. News website 2. ??? 3. Profit!
Thats a lot of p0rn. Lets hope Natalie's video's are out by then.(with grits of course)

What happened to do no evil! THOSE LIARS! I trusted them.. they said they would always love me and never treat me wrong..
What? Oh.. there a company? And this is a sure-fire way to make money in corporate america now? Intresting..
This is a dupe, the orginal article is from 1960.
Well, with RFID you could just walk the cart through a small scanner, and it would just pull each individual RFID item off of it.

Well Norm, one more nail should really finish this one off. [Display a coffin, in the shape of the word Sony]
Honestly while writing that post I half wanted to just go: "Did no one watch voyager?!" and then: "Me either.. stupid chick for a captian."
