different experience for me. - 50 meg package (can't get 100 yet!) and I get mostly full speed (giganews, speedtest.net)
I found I would get slowdowns due to my local network at times (net gear + mac issue) but these always went away when testing straight from the pipe.
I assume you've ruled out any local issues? and that the speedtest site you use can handle your bandwidth (I know some aren't up to dealing with top end virgin cable packages!). sorry if these are obvious questions - no disrespect intended!
Ah, I'm on the basic 10 meg package. I expect they have better contention ratios for the top-end packages
The article suggests they will be piping through the cable network which tends to be far better at delivering closer to advertised speed. ymmv.
No I'm on cable. I think there must be too high Contention Ratio because I get bursts of full speed and a lot of time its below. Long downloads average out at about 50% of the speed, but often a short speed test only gets 20%.
If I were to complain about anything it would be the actual unthrottled speed, about 20% of the rated maximum seems typical except early in the morning.
If anonymity in public fora was an option in 1935 Nazi Germany, maybe more people would have spoken out against the hate for Jews. Perhaps the ZuckerBuRgS should rethink their position.
Judging by a lot of online forums I've been on maybe a lot more would have spoken out for it!
It's interesting that they are making this statement while Google (specifically, G+) is being blasted for its stance on anonymity.
If Google should come around on this (anonymity is a necessity for free speech, if Google wants to be the de facto means for communication they are going to have to enable free speech) while Facebook is loudly declaring themselves to be assholes, then Google becomes a hero and FB disappears overnight.
If Google decides to continue attacking anonymity, then I get that creepy feeling that everyone is out to get me.
That is by no means a no-brainer. Some people like anonymity. Some like to be able to parse their email contacts etc and find the users on the social network, or look up "what ever happened to my friend Stephen from school". I really don't know which would attract most people.
and the goal of the count field of counted strings should absolutely not be to count the number of characters -- it should be the buffer size. And UTF-8 doesn't change that.
That is really only a convention. In practice you need both length functions for different purposes.
In theory (because the whole dirty bomb theory has never actually happened and is just a security theatre bogey man myth). In actual historical fact, fertiliser bombs HAVE had effects lasting for decades. Oslo city centre will never be the same for instance.
You would have to look hard to find people lamenting the changes to the baltic exchange, or manchester city centre today. With a dirty bomb they could still be contaminated areas.
Oracle also implied that Lindholm's e-mail had actually been sent, but in fact it was an incomplete draft, Google added.

Probably someone thought "oh shit Oracle have brought Sun", started to suggest that they got a license when someone else pointed out to them that they didn't need to.

You can't have seriously got to the age of 16 and not known what a condom is? Were you educated by religious nutcases who never let you have any contact with the world?

Slashdot Mirror
It seems as if Oracle would like nothing better than to stomp Apache and its open source Java efforts clean out of existence.
Also in the news. It seems that water makes things wet.

Are you on ADSL?

Sometimes your old pictures really don't fit your latest image.
Better game scores. Combating global warming. We should all be pirates
Ubuntu users have been seeing it for years
TFA subhead says "public", but it is actually a privately owned service.
Like public houses and public schools, you mean?
And I've been called a "public nuisance" but nobody owns me.
If it's anything like their ISP service in homes if you so much as dare to read an email during the day they will throttle you for a week.
I'm exaggerating of course but sadly not by much.
Thats not true, you can get an unlimited service (at extra cost) and the most basic package has a 200mb limit, after which you will be throttled for 12 hours.

That's still an arbitrary limit.
Why not have a length for the length field .... and then just in case that is not enough a length for this field ... and then ...

personally more worried, a dirty bomb could have affects lasting for decades
Only in a small area. As for the decades part I believe there are still 2 giant holes in the ground in New York that were created almost 10 years ago.
That's really down to the reaction and deciding what to do with it - it could have been fixed much quicker, and in many countries would have been.

Prisoner 5: "I published the encryption algorithm used by an American company, which is legal where I live"
He ordered some radioactive material from overseas
Which was evidently delivered without any of the authorities being notified. How many Jihadi's are reading this and putting in their orders now?
... In fact, all this email was sent just 2 days before Oracle filed their lawsuit.
Or maybe not sent. from TFA:

Diagnosis: anally retentive.
Internet with middle boxes like sex with a condom. It somehow doesn't feel right and is less satisfying but can protect you from some nasty stuff.
Eat him.
He'd only enjoy it
the thing is that the company this guy used to work for is most likely the copyright holder in this case
In that case if they agreed to it being GPL'd they can make and sell a commercial fork, but cannot stop anyone from using the original version.
my pseudonym is "anonymous" you insensitive clod
The headline left me feeling rather sad. "Killing Accounts Can Leave Androids Orphaned" made me think of A.I. Artificial Intelligence
