I always thought a transparent proxy was exactly that. Transparent.
A transparent proxy sits in between requests to that the target server, the request appears to be coming from the original users IP. It is able to capture requests for objects which it is has already cached and return them directly instead of hitting the target. Other than that it should be transparent, to the extent that it should be difficult for you to even detect...
It sounds like what you have is a good old fashioned proxy. Not a transparent one.. Unlucky..
One thing they could do for example, is bounce all emails but 'accept' 1 email out of 10000 before bouncing, in order to gather 'statistical data' for various purposes of their choosing.
Given that they implemented sitefinder with no warning, it is unlikely that they give any warning before implementing the 'feature' I mention above...

Nonsense - there is a big difference between something being illegal, and something being a civil breach of contract...
Hours of Fun
The IC-R3 also has an extremely wide receive range of.5-2450 MHz, except for the cellular ranges. Speaking of hours of fun! The IC-R3 comes with a Li-Ion battery offering up to 27 hours of continual operation!
How strange... People still use analogue cellular phones???
There seems to be a general consensus that 'slashdotters' are inconsistent in their reasoning.
I would challenge you, FreeLinux to come up with specific examples of where the same person has said that 1) the government is excessively involved in everything and 2) is subsequently upset to be spammed.
The point is - slashdot is read by many people - and there will always be range of opinions.
Believe it or not, most people consider this to be a GOOD thing.
If this thing had turning wheels (with say 20cm diameter) then at maximum speed, the wheels would be spinning at 220,000 rpm - or to put it another way about 30 times faster than the average desktop harddisk.
I don't believe there is any known material that not disintegrate subjected to such stress...
So, if the thing doesn't have wheels - I'd hardly call it a land vehicle. Its more like a low flying rocket...
In a competitive market, if you don't lower price in the face of lower costs, your competitor will - and you will lose market share and therefore, ultimately, have a lower profit.
The key point here is that, sadly, the record industry does not really represent a competitive market....
I've got a Mini-itx board and solid state powersupply.
The only thing that makes any noise at all is the disk.
Its a seagate IV, which also uses FDB bearing ('liquid bearings') I too previously thought this disk was 'amazing' and 'silent', but you'd be amazed how noisy something sounds when there is no other noise around...
Even the electrical hum from my monitor is deafening now!
I wonder how they deal with upgrades to DLLs where the the upgrade represents a security fix. In such circumstances one would definetly not want an application to use an old version of a particular DLL...
Actually, if the server is down, you cannot send an HTTP request. You will not be able to open a connection to port 80, therefore you will be unable to issue the HTTP request.
Looks like its you that doesn't know how internet client and servers work...
I think the point the article is trying to make is that the copyright owners aren't trying to 'track down' these things.
The problem is with organisations like IDSA which stumble across websites offering games and then automatically assume there must have been a copyright violation.
The article explicitly states that the website in question had already obtained permission from the copyright holders to redistribute the material...
Caveat: I have not read the article.
However, the lottery analogy isn't perfect as described above:
In a state lottery,with 50% payback, one would typically have the following situation.
Tickets 1$, 100 tickets.
Prize 5$, 10 prizes.
Total revenue = 100 x 1 = $100
Total payout = 50 x 1 = $50
i.e. 50%.
Peppercoin works as follows:
Tickets 1$, 100 tickets
Prize 10$, 10 prizes.
Total revenue = 100 x 1 = $100
Total prize = 10 x 10 = $100
i.e. 100% payback.
But the effect on the entrant is as follows.
If he enters once (at a cost of $1, he has a
1:100 chance of winning 10$)
If you scale everything up, and he enters enough times, he has a 50:50 chance of winning 100% of what he staked.
It is basically gambling - and things only even up if you have a high volume of 'transactions'
Since you seem to know what you're talking about, I have a question: Given 31 pages of As, Ts, Gs and Cs, would it be possible to find one of these which could be changed without affecting the function of the Gene - change it, and then use the gene patent free on the basis that it is not _exactly_ the same sequence?
I guess that bluetooth would be a better solution than 802.11b since
1) It is much lower power anyway - good for stealth. 2) It has a sufficently short range that you wouldn't have to worry about reflections - (just have one reciever in each room). 3) Bluetooth transceivers are an order of magnitude cheaper than 802.11b transceivers.

I am prepared to burn Karma and say it with you.
CLOSE SLASHDOT!!!
My apologies... its that Karamba that uses an arbitrary text format.
Its hilarious that I was marked as a Troll, yet in fact, Gnomes competitor to Karamba DOES use xml.
HAHAHAHAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa how I laughed!!
Looks like another example of a project which should use xml for its configuration files, but instead uses a proprietary format...

Someone who works for IBM told me that their internal network is called the '9.' network.
So called because all the dotted ip addresses beginng with 9, (i.e.
9.0.0.1 through 9.255.255.254 belong to them).
Thats 0.4% of the ENTIRE IPV4 address space, assigned to one company. IRC, MIT has a similar allocation...
Well, its been said more one once that there are only 10 types of people in this world: :-)
*) Those that understand binary &
*) Those that don't.

Perhaps because jLint is written in C++, not Java.

Two interesting points here:
It is intended that this will be the UKs first 'UK only' space mission.
The mission is not slated to take place until 2023.
Your argument is flawed:
Consider this:
Ice Age -> lower Carbon Dioxide levels
Certainly does not imply that
Higher Carbon Dioxide levels -> Opposite of Ice Age = Global Warming...
Ooops. That's wrong - how embarassing...
Actually, a lower pressure means a higher boiling point.
In what way is this a "warning". I can't think of any ill effects which could occur as a result of a day taking a few milliseconds longer.
I'd say its more of a "curiosity".
