YES, exactly this.
DDOS attacks like this are no different than the civil rights era sit-ins that took place during the 1950's and 60's. This holds especially true if the attack was carried out via a voluntary LOIC botnet.

Now move that model to Africa and the Middle East.
I think you meant to say:
Now move that model to the United States.
Kenya has had "cheap access to payments issuance and acceptance" since M-Pesa launched in 2007. Similar services now exist in Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, and other countries. Available services include direct transfers, airtime top-up, bill payments, salary payments, insurance schemes, savings, loans, and international money transfers.
Zenimax (the company that acquired id Software) has been supportive of the process, and he has challenged other game developers to release old source-code too. Carmack says that releasing the code really helps the development community.
Upgrade Internet cafe infrastructure. This is a useful service to provide in any developing country.
Install transparent(1) Squid caches and bandwidth management systems (e.g. Dummynet) using spare hardware(2), install games on the client machines (e.g. Open Arena), etc.
On a side note, I recommend avoiding more developed countries like South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, etc. They need you far less than other countries in the region (VSAT connected countries need the most help).
(1) Transparent configurations (e.g. bridged NICs, etc) makes it easy for cafe admins to bypass the system should things ever break.
(2) Most African Internet cafes have spare hardware laying around (A P3, 512 MB RAM, 20GB HD, a CD/DVD player, and 2 NICs are all that's required). Those that don't can often be convinced to buy a spare box.
Even though these cars will soon be able to scream around at full speed safer than cars now they will end up going slower.
From a productivity standpoint it matters not what speed your vehicle travels so long as meaningful tasks can be performed en-route. A driver-less vehicle might be a fantastic mode of transportation for, say, laptop-based workers on-the-go (e.g. Googlers).
Speaking of workers on-the-go, taxi drivers will need to seek alternate employment if these things ever become commercially viable;)
If we were on the street and saw some brown shirts hauling a jewish family out of their home, making them get on their knees, and putting a gun to their head, you know what we'd do? We'd shut our fucking mouths and look the other way, because we don't want to be next.
You do realize that policies can be changed at a later date, right? They aren't written in stone. These policies make more sense than the alternative of doing nothing, and they make more sense than being heavy handed and creating more problems then they solve. If problems crop up, they can be dealt with.
You do realize that if proper net neutrality is not enforced, even for a short while, large corporations will very quickly become the de-facto gatekeepers of the worlds information/and/ economic markets, right? These corporations could end up wielding as much or more influence over society than governments (i.e. us).
Do you really want to go down this road? Even for a single day?
The incident was confirmed by Harbor Police Sergeant Rakos who said Wolanyk was arrested on two misdemeanors, “failing to complete the security process; violation code 7.01 and illegally recording the San Diego Airport Authority (they confiscated his iPhone); violation number 7.14 (a).”
As a PC gamer, I'm very bothered by the fact that these TSA stories instantly remind me of City 17 and the Combine from Half Life 2.
This needs to be stopped before it gets any worse.
Perhaps we should start with something more basic, like access to clean water, absence of marauding militias, a level of education somewhere above shockingly bad, etc.
...and perhaps we shouldn't. Just because western infrastructure developed in a certain order does not mean that the developing world should follow the same approach.
I, like many others, believe that delivering Internet access to the masses will be what finally enables the citizens of [poor country] to provide food, water, shelter, education, and a stable government for/to themselves.

There's really a trend in going all "That movie sucks!" against every popular movie, and I'm getting tired of it. It might not be original, and maybe people can say "Oh pocahontas did it first!" but that doesn't change that it was a suspenseful, well-made film with some good points that people could think about.
I would compare it to Star Wars, really. It was an ambitious movie with a cliche plot, passable acting, and very impressive special effects. I enjoyed it in the theaters and now own it on blu-ray. It's not The Usual Suspects, by a long shot, but it is a satisfying movie in its own way.
On a side note, the "Star Wars wasn't really/that/ good" trend is a load of shit, too. 4,5, and 6 are/not/ cult classics or mere nostalgia, they're widely regarded as some of the best movies/ever/ made.
Here in Uganda an organization called UConnect puts things like the RACHEL open-courseware repository on them for use in up-country solar-powered computer-lab installations. They also have a mobile-education truck which, when deployed, has RACHEL + 8 Edubuntu thin-client workstations + a WiFi hot-spot powered by GPRS/Squid.
But I couldn't care less for browsing the web on a screen so small my fingers cover a third of what I'm trying to read/work on.
3G dongles plug into anything with a USB port and my Nokia N900 can create a mobile hotspot anywhere I want.
Here in Uganda I have personally connected Internet cafes, small offices, and health clinics using GPRS/3G + bandwidth management and caching. We're living proof that mobile Internet is capable of far more than delivering YouTube to your cell-phone.
Furthermore, as a consumer these days, why would I pay for a fixed access-point instead of one I can carry around in my pocket?
I actually got rid of my fixed line connection at home because I can use my N900 + 3G all day long anywhere I go. If I need my laptop I throw up a hot-spot. If I'm on the road, go to a friends house, or need Internet while on a boat in the middle of Lake Victoria, I have it.
What good is fixed-line neutrality when mobile broadband becomes peoples primary means of connectivity?
The likes of Verizon know that mobile Internet is the future of the market so they don't give a crap if fixed lines stay neutral. It's a bullshit proposal.

This is a very serious accusation; Google definitely needs to respond.
the first update affected by this policy change benefits a competitor. what severity is the gmail bug which this patch claims to address?

Google has reportedly banned a handful of Anonymous members from Google+ (it's not exactly clear how many accounts were shut down).
Says who?
Really, samzenpus? This post is nothing more than an advertisement and you know it. The story title and summary aren't even remotely accurate.
I prefer yyyy-mm-dd as it simplifies sorting in most common scenarios.

IIRC, the same thing recently happened in Africa.
A "top violent video games" list without games like Carmageddon, Doom, ROTT, Blood, etc?

GNS3 is OSS. It runs best on a system with lots of RAM and a multi-core processor.
All you need beyond the initial download is a router image file (Cisco 7200, etc).
Enjoy!
