Is that like some kind of uniform that used to exist in the 20th century?
And why would a PR firm like Paul Graham want people to wear suits, unless they were married into a family that sells them.. ?
Next thing you know you'll tell me that people wear a large folded handkerchief used to close the folded down collar that used to stick up to show one's station, and call that a "tie". To prevent other people from smelling their bodily smell after not washing for an entire week, since baths are considered unhygenic.
Now, on to more important things, like when we get those silvery bodysuits or the ones like the Vulcans wear on ST:Enterprise...
you get all the disadvantages of Linux with the advantages of massive downtime, unrealeased patches to Windows Server, and you get to pay tons of cash!
But will it be enough? This document is full of logic, justice and decent values. That is not what the US IT industry who is pushing for software patents is well known for.
So will Wall Street win in the end?
It depends on whether or not the bribes get reported by the media.
I thought, years ago when I was looking at it, that IPv6 had a TTL that was modifiable, and thus wouldn't time out.
TTL (Time To Live) actually has nothing to do with time. It is a number which is decremented in the packet header each time the packet passes through a router. When the TTL field reaches (IIRC) 0 the packet is dropped. You can set the TTL in IPv4 if you want to, normally it is done when dealing with multicast traffic so that the packets don't travel too far out of the network multicast routing protocols also have an impact on this).
I know, but i seem to recall that the TTL value has a higher upper range in IPv6 instead of the lower 2 hour max in IPv4. But i haven't looked at the specs in years.
The Internet is a much older vision. You can read some of it here: http://www.computerhistory.org/exhibits/internet_h istory/
I know, I was on the first ARPANET. Back when I was at SFU, and 1200 baud was something you couldn't even get at the UBC labs.
So, yes, technically, Vint Cerf didn't invent the Internet per se, but then TCP/IP is what most people think of as the internet. And Al Gore was the primary lead on getting funding, so he did invent the Internet, since that was ARPANET, the real internet.
And, yes, I was in the military back then. But it's none of your business.

But, as a practical matter, it would work better as an FTP request does, where you stream the data in blocks and resend any missed blocks later. This would work fairly well for lossy protocols like JPEG or suchlike, but a good image format should be able to handle it, but time stop/start protocols might get glitched and would have to be replaced.
Anyone for MP7? TUFF instead of TIFF?
The other question is, would this be on the same network, or would, given the very small number of network nodes concerned, it be on a network that we bridge to and translate as needed, buffering the data streams on each end.
Now, if you had a martian sandstorm for a few days, that's probably not going to be that helpful, but you get the idea....
Probably since the overwhelming use of P2P software is to 'trade' commercially marketed software, which was the very reason Napster and other P2P software was made in the beginning (while trying to keep the software maker/distributer out of hot water by not hosting the files itself).
Excuse me, but that's the alleged use of P2P.
The reality is the only people doing metrics on P2P usage are paid by the anti-file-sharing forces, and thus highly suspect as to methodology, interviewing techniques, resolution (for example, if I make a song entitled "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that's a blues song about my encounters with a teen frog in Japan, RIAA will count that as a pirated Nirvana ripoff, but it's not.
Since when do they have rights to prevent Seattle bands from freely sharing music recorded by themselves. Every day we become more and more like Russia.
Haven't used it much, as too many of my friends are musicians, so I mostly buy the CDs direct from them at shows or at the local Sonic Boom that gives local indie musicians a higher cut on CD sales.
doesn't mean they haven't lost it, but failed to report it in such a way that the media passed it on.
We're dealing with a very small subset of firms that have either been forced to admit, or have voluntarily admitted, data loss of customer records and personal data collected either with or without permission.
The number of firms that haven't admitted it, but have had it happen, is a LOT bigger.
There are no copyright issues whatsoever in recording someone speaking. The spoken word does not qualify for copyright protection. Period.
Actually, OTOH, there are some legal restrictions on recording someone's voice without permission in the State of Washington, especially in moving pictures (e.g. video with sound), they busted some people filming cheerleaders here under that law.
However, lecturers by default, based on university and research policy, normally grant you that right unless they advertise otherwise. If it's in an auditorium at a school/college and they don't tell you they can't, it's almost always an acceptable and encouraged use.
Otherwise you'd spend way too much time taking notes.
[note - I'm guilty of taking notes a lot, but that's what works for me in memorizing sometimes]
For example, it's permissable by default to take notes in any class unless they tell you otherwise, including voice recorders.
I used to get a lot of my notes from the projector notes at the library all the time, and listen to the tapes of the lectures, as a study aide. That way I could really LISTEN to the lecture, and take key notes, but not get hung up writing things down otherwise.
This is also why most universities have exemptions for copying materials - frequently a paper may be in an out of print book, or the prof ran out of copies, or there weren't enough books for the course.
Of course, I'm sure a lawyer or RIAA agent wearing black raybans will try to scare you otherwise, but let's get real, people.

Seriously, just because life exists in biological and temperature extremes, as was recently discovered by researchers here at the University of Washington - Huskies represent! - doesn't necessarily mean that there has yet been proven to be life on Mars. That requires something to validate the hypothesis, like a mars rover, or a manned space flight, or some other validation. We only have emissions and temperature readings, which could be caused by other things, given our lack of data to date.
The Wire Service Guild has spent far too many of its resources outsourcing news - like Reuters moving editorial content to India - and this will reverse the money flow back to the AP (in the US).

We of the Linux Inquisition have one weapon. Our chief weapon is Fear. Well, Fear and Distros.

Since when do they have rights to prevent Seattle bands from freely sharing music recorded by themselves. Every day we become more and more like Russia.
And not in a good way, either.
Seattle PI on nwsource.com is the link I meant to free local music downloads.
It's almost as much fun as dropping by the local Sonic Boom store to hear the bands play live.
Of course, RIAA will try to shut them down at some point, but it won't do any good.
