No, that was a pretty accurate description of network router buffers.
Most don't do anything fancy with their buffer queues because that would use too much router CPU. So it's first in first out. You might get RED (random early drop) if you're lucky.
To make multiple TCP sessions work as you think they work would require the ISP router sending packets to you to be using SFQ (stochastic fair queuing) or something similar. By hashing the packets by "flow" and placing them into separate queues the router can make the TCP sessions share fairly.
No, without proper training in typing the self-taught typist will always be held back by the bad habits he will develop, unless he makes an effort to learn the proper techniques on his own.
Just doing a lot of typing will not teach good typing.
I learned on a manual typewriter too. I love loud keyboards and got myself one of those Das Keyboards with the blank black keys. When I get to the end of a paragraph or I finish a good chunk of code and finish the SVN commit command I like to hit Enter with a big loud CHUNK!!!
That way the whole office knows that I am working.:-)
In the Western World holes in cell coverage are "far and few between"
It's funny that you bring up the Western World as an example of good cell coverage because in the Western United States (Idaho, western Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, Montana, the Dakotas), much of the land area has no cell coverage and even the areas that do claim cell coverage are very spotty. That's what you get when there's one tower in 20 miles and there happens to be a hilly spot between you and the tower.
If someone is a consumer and they pay for a T1 it is, ipso facto, consumer broadband.
And yes, if you can get what you want in the market then you have market choice. A price multiplier of three or four is the same as that between an unlocked cell phone and a contract, or a Kia and a Porsche.
I've got one. It's the best option available where I live. The other options are modem (no thanks), ISDN, IDSL (both a bit slow), or satellite (awful).
For three times the cost of IDSL I get 10 times the bandwidth.
Yet, if you go over to the thief's house with a baseball bat and friends, beat the snot out of him and take your stuff back, the cops will be all over you.
But lets say 20 years from now you find out you have X disease that costs Y amount to treat it with an experimental drug insurance doesnt' cover.
Not an issue if you live in Canada (or basically anywhere other than the US)
Not an issue? Let's rewrite the original statement: But lets say 20 years from now you find out you have X disease that costs Y amount to treat it with an experimental drug Canadian Health Care doesn't cover.
So not only does a Canadian need to spend Y amount, he also has to travel to a foreign country that will let him buy the experimental drug.
Unless the owner has gone out of the way to purchase performance tires, the tires are often rated for only 80 mph.
Another serious problem is loose pieces on the car. A loose bumper, body panel or piece of trim will come flying off the car at high speeds when the wind hits it. That isn't only a problem for the driver (it might hit the window or a tire), but a problem for people driving behind him.
I reinstalled Dungeons and Dragons Online recently. The installer uses Pando. However, it wasn't very sneaky about it. It was in the install at some point.
It would have been nice if it had uninstalled itself after the several gigabyte download or if the installer had explained more about the consequences of leaving it installed. The information about Pando was easily available to me via a web search. Pando uninstalled without any problems from the Windows control panel.
I wouldn't worry about it fairly polite software like Pando too much. The kind of people who install everything without reading the dialog boxes or doing any research are going to end up with their computer stuffed full of malware in any case.
I went to Wikipedia and viewed source. The SVG looks like someone just took a seal image and ran line detection on it, then fixed it up a bit. They didn't use object cloning or text path or anything cool. It's just colored and filled line segments.
There are techniques for doing man-in-the-middle attacks against the SSL session which allows for inspection of SSL traffic. It's a premium feature though and I imagine schools don't want to pay for too much extra.
There may also be legal issues with it, but I don't know about those.
It's super simple for a company or school to set up, because they control the master certificate stores on the machines. Just add the proxy's cert as a master cert and it can merrily sign duplicate SSL certs for every website without triggering any alerts.
I guess you're incapable of finding the DPI settings in your OS. You probably also wish we were still using dot matrix printers with a DPI less than 100. All those extra dots in modern printing must hurt your eyes.

But does the ISP do this? I doubt it.
I bet you could get a T1 line or lines connected to your house.
If it can be done in rural Colorado it can be done in southern California.
Most people seem to be confusing a lack of competition at $19.95 / month as a lack of competition. This is false.
If you'd like to pay $200 / month you can get business class service from a wide range of ISPs.

Look around you. See any fjords?
If there were fjords to see, he wouldn't be pining for them, would he? Cause he'd have them, right there.
Multicast DNS and zero-conf are the way forward on this.
If only dinosaurs weren't going around IPv6 deployments implementing DHCPv6.

Slashdot car analogy for the win!

You have choice. You just don't want to pay for it.
Get a tablet and a wireless keyboard. Now it's easy to turn the screen whichever way that you like!

I was wrong. I was looking at truck studded snow tires and got the wrong numbers.
So don't drive your truck with studded snow tires over 80 mph. :)
Car tires will be fine.
Car tires will fall apart at very high speeds.
Unless the owner has gone out of the way to purchase performance tires, the tires are often rated for only 80 mph.
Another serious problem is loose pieces on the car. A loose bumper, body panel or piece of trim will come flying off the car at high speeds when the wind hits it. That isn't only a problem for the driver (it might hit the window or a tire), but a problem for people driving behind him.

No, I just like to complain. I want someone else to do the actual work. :)
And a pretty lame SVG file it is.
I went to Wikipedia and viewed source. The SVG looks like someone just took a seal image and ran line detection on it, then fixed it up a bit. They didn't use object cloning or text path or anything cool. It's just colored and filled line segments.
The best way to write IO is to use one thread or process per CPU core and in that thread use non-blocking IO. I thought everyone knew this.

I tried really hard on a new project at work to get full test coverage and the best I could do was 75% branch coverage.
It is ridiculously time consuming to try to cover every code path.
It would also use even more gigabytes of RAM and run like a snail.
Python is nice to write but runs worse than Java.
All I have to say about that is, "Well, duh."
Of course Hispanics are going to be targeted. Arizona borders Mexico where most all of the illegal aliens in the country come from.
It's like blaming police for targeting sluttily dressed women standing along the street to arrest for prostitution.
It would make zero sense to target suspected Canadians in Arizona. It would be a waste of time.
