An illegitimate protocol can always be encapsulated into a legitimate one.
If they get layer-seveny, then the next step is to make Bittorent do SSL connections. (Maybe that's what encrypted BitTorrent does. Shrug.) They're indistinguishable from https traffic, so now the ISP has to treat https and bittorrent traffic identically. Other casualties will be VPNs and, well, virtually anything that implements a crypto tunnel.
If they're actually willing to choke down on all their users' VPNs in order to fight against bittorrent, then the file sharing app may be redesigned to encapsulate the tunnels in HTTP packets. Then a layer seven app will have to somehow distinguish p2p http traffic from real web-browser traffic. Perhaps a regexp can be written that matches a certain regularity.
The protocol can always circumvent the inspection technique, and the inspection technique can always be changed to positively identify the new protocol. Turing and Godel proved long ago that this arms race can't be won.
I'm really sorry, but this punctuation idea is not viable. The point of/sarcasm is that a) it's a cute markup-tag joke, and b) it clarifies the intent of the preceding sentence.
~ will only ever be meaningful to the type of people who mostly know how to see sarcasm. If we intend our sarcasm to be an 'in-joke', i.e. we're hoping that someone mistakes us for being serious, we'll just leave off any tag whatsoever. And I think most sarcastic people will agree; if you have to point the sarcasm out to someone, they don't deserve to get the joke.
So what you're saying is it would have to be a sustained barrage of takedown requests. If YouTube has to take it down when I request, and put it back up when the owner requests, then all I have to do is be faster on the 'send' button than he is.
OMG. OK, Paramount? I have this idea... Now it sounds a little crazy, but just hear me out. Now. The final problem with DRM is that analog hole thing, right? Eventually the media gets transformed into a human-readable format, and then all our obfuscation is blown. So her's what we do:
Stop making movies.
It was a lame idea to begin with. A business model that depends on simultaneously displaying and concealing information? Crazy! I say ditch that business like it was an American mortgage-backed investment product.
Not to poo-poo what looks like an awesome technology, but we're all free culture varmints around here and we're well-acquainted with the reality that the more useful things a media-playback appliance lets us do, the harder Big Media will work to bury it.
Here's hoping that once this box is ready, it's still legal to buy one and plug it in.
The damned thing is that it's trivial to write a DRM container format that you can wrap around an ogg file. Whatever performance edge the free software can eke out, the Bad Guys will be able to incorporate as well.

A little of both. They built it on a much more solid kernel than Windows, and their update/security response cycle is reasonably streamlined.
Windows machines are just low-hanging fruit. It's pretty simple.
Presumably that's when you 'divorce' her. ;)

Is this a copyright race condition?

How is that even a question?
There's a someone, they have a wife, you pretend to be that wife.
This "bra bomb" of yours had better work!

Does Apple?
Way to go guys, we slashdotted Mars!
You can tell them to surrender their cellphone or leave the premises.
If you have evidence that the Alton Towers staff are doing anything more than this, we'd love to hear it.
"-1 Troll"!? Come on, mods, I can't possibly be the only one here who's able to perceive irony.
You definitely have the right to tell people that they must leave their cellphone at the door or they're not to enter your house.
Not me! I'm runnin' Coppermine(TM) neurons!

RFC 1149 provides great throughput, but the latency and jitter are probably not suitable for reasonable VoIP performance.
"...Can you hear me NOW?"
not for Americans.

And I am in this thread also!
I live on a satellite, you ins-.. etc.
I actually saw a user named 'bloodninja' a minute ago.
