While you're comparing yourself to a male narwhal, do you also do this (from TFA): "[the] tactile sense might explain why...two males gently rub tusks together"?
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
This just in... Texas has just passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting narwhals from getting married.
The solution is to tag the TV or telephone packets with codes that give them a higher priority on the network. These packets would be delivered more quickly, ensuring a sharp picture and clear sound. The telecoms must build additional network capacity to handle these large, tagged files.
They're planning to tag packets, presumedly on ingress into their network at peering points. But prioritization doesn't mean poor quality unless the network is saturated. There's no such thing as delivering packets "more quickly;" hop count and latency differences are negligible in most cases, especially with large websites that use global server load balancing. In other words, it doesn't matter how close the LEC site is as long as the other site is close enough.
If you're Google or Yahoo or whoever, just make sure your peering circuit to these guys isn't saturated. If all they're planning to do is set TOS bits, there's nothing to worry about. It sounds like the LECs got chumped by a router vendor pushing QOS.
President Bush came out yesterday with a three-year plan to eliminate what he calls "the scourge" of Play Dough. "This substance is an threat to the American way of life, our morals, our values," Bush opined, "it provides terrorists a weapon of mass destruction to attack us on the battlefields of the war on identity."
Bush has diverted $3.4 billion from the Department of Education to an unnamed defense contractor, explaining "what use is having educated people when this contraband threatens the safety of us all." Citing security concerns, he would not elaborate which contractor received the funds, though he did name BeatlesBeatles as the White House liasion for this project. "No one has a better handle on Al Qaeda than BeatlesBeatles," Bush explained.
Bush added: "some people think you can eat it, too."
The one thing that stood out to me reading this guy's blog was how nostalgic he was for the place. He was practically weepy. That attitude makes me nervous. Yeah, it's a company based on innovation with plenty of smart people running around being smart and acting silly. It's also a multibillion dollar corporation. That doesn't make it evil, necessarily. But being a thinktank doesn't make it good, necessarily. When I read accounts of this place that make it sound like heaven, I wonder what the deal is. Behind most panaceas is a bunch of people getting played. Is building a better search engine really such a noble pursuit? Maybe.
Google is doing a fine job sucking up talent. Not just the big fish like Cerf, but the more clued individuals in our industry. Working at Google has become something of a status symbol, something akin to having a CCIE. Oh, you worked at Google? You must be good. I've noticed one thing that results from this. There seem to be more senior positions open in the Bay Area, New York, everywhere Google has significant footprint. Too, the annual salaries for these positions has risen about 20%, presumedly out of demand.
You could clobber someone with wget and a for loop. Just keep grabbing a search result page, grep for the site you dislike (encapsulated in adwords-generated link), then go and GET it. Even if they put filters to prevent multiple clickage from the same IP (which I'm sure they won't unless hey have to), anyone with a DDOS farm (or access to more than one subnet) could bill someone up pretty good.
AOL, MSN and Yahoo (via relationship with SBC) are all dialup providers. It's not surprising their portals are visited more often by the, erm, underprivileged.
Get out of your cage, get into the open, make better relationships, find a job that respects you, stop moving home every couple of years, start talking to your family not shouting at them, eat decent food instead of that sugar-laden "lo-fat" junk you're stuffing your face with, stop watching TV, cut down on the booze, and the religion, and for baby jesus' sake, stop taking artificial drugs.
And stop reading your posts. That was one of the most depressing paragraphs ever written.
I never understood conservatives' problems with environmental issues. Things like global warming, the eventual depletion of fossil fuels, deforestation... why is it stupid to consider this issues like this? I mean we live on this planet, don't you think we should look out for it? We're not going to get another shot at this. Once we fuck it up, we're extinct.
Politicians have a good reason to be anti-environment because they and their friends make serious bank by drilling oil, cutting down trees, running industries that pollute and the like. I can understand their point of view. But why does their profit mean anything to you? You realize that by supporting their point of view, you're just making them rich at the expense of the planet's (finite) resources, right?
In a three-tier architecture, there's no reason for the database to be reachable from the outside world. Only the app servers (or web servers) need to reach it. You lock it up with ACLs and remove its default route.
Clearly if someone worms their way into your web server, you're toast, but if they're good enough to do that they're good enough to work around a database password.
President Bush has increased next year's budget for the Department of Homeland Security by $37.4 billion to fight identity theft, or as he calls it "the war on identity." "We must be vigilant," he opines, "lest our American values be compromised by this new and dangerous enemy. Victory is a certainty if we are a steadfast and brave as our soldiers in Iraq. Otherwise our citizens could be overcome by a mushroom cloud of debt."
When asked what identity theft had to do with Iraq, Bush angrily replied that our troops "are as susceptible to this sort of terrorism as any other God-fearing American." And as for the new sportscars the heads of the Department of Homeland Security have been seen driving in, Bush says that "those on the front lines of the war on identity need to move quickly when confronted by our secretive foes."
President Bush earmarks $10.3 billion to "gain victory over bone marrow cell terrorism." He continues "these little fellers are a threat to Americans, our way of life." It's imperative, he says, that we don't end up in a "mushroom cloud of cancer."
A no-bid contract was awarded, surprisingly, to Enron. When asked what made a defunct Energy trading company with a history of defrauding the American public the proper choice for a cancer study, Bush responded "This is America. If you're not for us, you're against us." Asked what exactly that meant by that, he angrily retorted "I don't take questions from cancer lovers, muslims or liberals."
Bush also said "And we've got our eye on that BeatlesBeatles guy, too, you can be sure of that."

This whole copyright infringement thing is out of control. $100,000 civil cases for uploading crappy movies?
Now that Howard's moved to satellite, I guess they had to make their yacht payments somehow.

$400 a share is madness. When are they going to split this stock?
But junior admins and new hires will always believe otherwise.
If only we could add 100,000 brain cells to you.
You'd be angry, too, if your tit was cold.

For that, I can say ... thank you Google!
How are they supposed to sift through that?

Those glow-in-the-dark hands would make it a convenient sex toy, no?
And stop reading your posts. That was one of the most depressing paragraphs ever written.
That would be kinda cool. I'd take that class.
Or maybe the bubble burst. "Sit in the gutter"? Unbelievable.

Big Bird's a brother?
I'm biased because we live in a house that's so much more enjoyable to live in because it has no TV, but let's face it: HDTV is for wankers.
There's nothing more annoying than the piety of someone who doesn't own a television. Well, the piety of a church elder, I suppose.
Clearly if someone worms their way into your web server, you're toast, but if they're good enough to do that they're good enough to work around a database password.
No doubt, I got lost there three years ago and am still trying to figure my way out.

Correction to that earlier post ... the company's spokesman is I Pay Cheney.
