There's no situation where a teenager needs to drive over 80, probably; that only occurs on the highway, and most parents probably aren't going to let their teenagers drive on the interstate.
While I didn't drive on the interstate for my first few months of driving, by the time I got my license, I would drive on the interstate rather regularly: somewhere on the order of 90% of my trips.
The interstate is a great deal faster than the side roads, with less chance of getting lost, as well as being noticeably safer in several ways. You have two basic options for types of roads in many places: The first is about ten to twenty miles per hour faster than the other, and the second has lots of intersections, many of which are unregulated, and is rather twisty at times, as well as being small, and perhaps not as well lit or maintained. Would you take the interstate or the side streets? Which would you want your kids to take?
While the interstates are certainly faster, and while I would never put a brand new driver on them, I would tend to believe that they are otherwise safer for less experienced drivers under many circumstances than an alternate route composed of side streets.
A lot of P2P users are non-savvy. Their friend heard from a friend who heard from a friend about this thing called 'limewire' and so they use it. They'll be hit by this throttling. Sure, you and I won't, but we're a smaller chunk of the P2P users, the chunk that would actually work to find a way around such things, and likely succeed. If they blocked us, we'd find a way around it. A nice loss for them. Now we put it in our programs because I just happened to be an OSS person. Now everyone has it. This way they can throttle maybe half of their P2P users, perhaps even more, and a fix won't be out next week.
Unless the point was that McDonalds was eating the other three cents lost to inflation, and actually being screwed, themselves, implying VeriSign did the same (or was contractually obligated to do the same).
Yeah! No chance at all that it would install some resident process that waits until I type 'sudo somesuch', then uses the saved sudo auth token within the default five minutes to rootkit me.
The grandparent has simply made the mistake of equating KBps and Kbps. 20GB/day comes out to about 250 KBps, which is a reasonable number if given the units Kbps.
They have observed when coincidence causes whatever they believe in to work. They have failed to observe when the lack of coincidence fails to cause whatever they believe in to work. It's called confirmation bias.
If I am mistaken about something, or imagine it, that's not observation, either.
observe, 4b: to make a scientific observation on or of
observation, 2a: an act of recognizing and noting a fact or occurrence often involving measurement with instruments <weather observations> Note: It may not be a proven fact, but given confirmation bias, there are occurrences. Also: In case I am to be chastised for ignoring the 'measurements with instruments' requirement, I direct the reader to the word 'often', which is not synonymous with 'always'.
observe, 5: to come to realize or know especially through consideration of noted facts I can know something that is false. This happens any time I have sufficient reason to believe it is true, and insufficient reason to believe that I may be mistaken to believe it.
This is, of course, because if there was, the malicious applications that it's designed to stop would just wait until you hit that button to do their dirty work.
Does anyone know of any information somewhere about how to do this on your own systems? Given my family's browsing habits, This would probably be quite useful on my LAN.
It is less likely for the developers to put a backdoor in the source version than the binary version. There, it is nearly undetectable, and for a product like truecrypt, you really cant expect that noone will see the source and raise a huge public stink about it. Xchat, I believe, distributes windows binaries made from different and unpublished source?
Just a relatively general commment: From the replies I've seen thus far, I'm almost curious how many people noticed him begin with the words "Just a modest proposal..."

So how does a person determine that a check is _actually_ good, so they can avoid these problems?
Good thing the article is talking about photons, not electrons.
I can jailbreak an iPhone and install more apps. I can't jailbreak bandwidth pricing.
As opposed to all other lien holders. Well, that's Florida's fault. Who wants to move to Florida and have some fun?
That's actually perfectly valid in perl. Since it's the last statement in the block, he's set.

I have to ask: How did you manage latency that long? What sort of setup were you using?
100 to the EFF
That sounds a lot more like exponentiation to me, giving us 1.7109*10^9245. (Assuming 100 is hex, and with the answer given in decimal.)
Shouldn't that be a pair of indirect statements?
cogito me cogitare ergo cogito me esse
I think that I think therefore I think that I am.

Undoing accidental Moderation. Sorry for the random post. This moderation system NEEDS a confirm button, not a javascripted, auto-committing box.

Your sig is weird.
And if you RTFC(onstitution), you will see that the fourth amendment does not use the word citizen. As such, his point is still valid.
That guy will download his porn ahead of time, after his first porn-free flight. You'll save yourself nothing.
The lesser of that and the most trusted public key, really. They can be altered in transit just like the MD5.
