  1. Re:Japan Broadband Rates on Comcast Launching $9.95 Low Income Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    Why quibble over the specifics? Your numbers still display Lord Balto's point. It is half the price for twice the bandwidth. 6M for $20, 3M for $10, 1.5M for $5... Do you see where this is going? Give me 100M for $100 a month. I could pass that out through wireless in my neighborhood for $5 per house hold and end up with a 200% profit.

  3. Re:X allows us to use legacy programs on KDE Plans To Support Wayland In 2012 · · Score: 1

    Why this push lately to screw up the Linux desktop, anyway?

    Rectangles with rounded edges is my short answer. The PIM interface is the perfect interface for stupid people. Ever since the iPhone came out with its 3d looking buttons (rectangles with rounded edges) that has been the defacto preferred "standard" to chase. The tech industry, being a follow the leader industry, is chasing that preferred look and feel. Really hard stuff like network accessible interfaces are being pushed away because they are not sexy.

    As someone who constantly uses Xnest and Xming on a daily bases I say, you tell them mlwmohawk! There is NO other GUI environment that allows applications from several different machines in different locations to run seamlessly on the desktop. I currently have two sessions of Code::Blocks up. One is from my server development machine. The other is on the client development machine. I also have an application running on a third machine that controls VMs (4 attackers and 4 victims) set up to send traffic through the server machine. In that application there are VNC instances for windows machines watching the attacks which I currently have showing on my desktop number 5. This allows me to change attack vectors according to my tests in real time according to the changes I make on my client development machine and see the results and make changes to the server. In other words, all I have to do to make any change or see any effect is to click on the correct rectangle at the top of my screen. NO other GUI environment allows me to do that.

  19. Re:Not what I expected on Researcher's Tool Catches Net Neutrality Cheaters · · Score: 1

    I guess it is possible; but, I couldn't see an ISP using anything but transparent proxies. They would have to be pretty jenky not to. That and the assumption they are not NAT'ing further up would mean there wouldn't be any type of destination change. L7 packet shaping devices like packeteer are more commonly used. ie. Detect TOS then use leaky bucket or some other algo to determine whether it should drop an ack packet or fake a change in window size request. Shane Alcock's ProtoIdent (libtrace) is pretty nifty for doing the TOS identification really quickly. Still, a link to some code would clear everything up. :)

    Oh man. I was on a rant then looked up to see your post. I hate when that happens.

    That is nice that they discovered... material? It would help if they released some data showing things like maximum potential heat retention, temperature resistance, release rates, etc... Is it like glass, marble, copper, a vacuum? I mean wtf good is, "it stores heat and releases it later"?

    That sample is a bit small for a good correlation but the game listed at the top is an add on for a game with very light DRM. Well, light in comparison to most games. To add myself to your data: It is something I would never download. The game was very good and DRM was light.

    This sounds like something that would be a good /. poll.

    I thought he had designed something to check for changes in window sizes or dropped ack packets. It sounds like he is doing a side by side comparison of traffic rates with the first router after the ISP being the n00ter. It would be nice to have a link to a project page.

    I read it as you will need to go through the same process of acquiring and utilizing key/certs from an authority. Obtaining signed certs from an authority without good proof should be very difficult. At least I hope that is the case.
