Well, yes, you're right, the internet is at it's core a point-to-point protocol, but its patterns are not the same as telegraph.
Telegraph didn't have a storage mechanism, while the internet does. You couldn't use telegraph to do something as basic as a webpage or an FTP server - the cost of having a living person handling the requests was too high. Telegraph was basically used as a messaging system, like SMS but with less spam.
Another difference is the number of points of access. The internet scales much, much better than telegraph. Even 3rd world countries usually have some sort of access to the internet, at public libraries or such venues. It's also vastly cheaper than telegraph ever was.
It works well...
It means that the set of mutually exclusive actions being presented is not the true set of actions, which may or may not be mutually exclusive.
Not that hard to understand, is it?
The canonical example being "You're either with us, or against us!", what with there being a myriad of other options, including being dead, being in space, and being a 10 foot tall talking monkey.
Hmm. That is a correct sentence when you look at it like that, but on first reading I assumed "Long-time users of Perl" was the subject, which indeed makes the sentence nonsensical.
I hate this discussion, but about half the people here use the term "Hacker" to mean 'friendly computer programmer who's quite good at it' or perhaps 'security consultant', while the other half uses the term to refer to people who break into computer networks, usually for profit or other "evil" motives. The people who prefer the first definition use the term "Cracker" for the latter definition.
So, an "ethical burglar" would be a locksmith, I guess. Someone who knows how to use the tools, yet refrains from breaking and entering.
I'd leave "ethical rapist" as an exercise to the reader.
Akamai is a tech company. They know their networks extremely well. I would expect that they were more competent with regards to security threats to their servers than a financial institution, whose main business is not running a computer network...

+1 for the Stevens and Perlman books. I haven't read Halsall's book, but I might now that I see it placed next to those two.
Bravo, good sir. Bravo.
I absolutely agree with everything you just said.
Nah man, snakes are cool. "Playing with Ruby" makes it sound like your eleven-year-old hired a whore, or perhaps a drag-queen.
I second the python recommendation. Have a look at this (free, available in dead tree format as well as online) book:

Funeral houses?
Grave diggers?
They seem to be doing fine...
... WTF does RMS have to do with the kernel?
I get MSDNAA at the Technion (.il ... )
Visual Studio, Windows 7, Server, and so on...

I remember the last time Iran had a revolution.
That went real well.
Mind you, El Al has tested these sort of scanners before, and gave up on the idea because Israeli privacy laws currently forbid it.
Just saying.

Thats just the thing, they're not 'vendor-specific' registers. They're in the spec for x86-64, and both Intel and AMD implementations support them.
Besides, I think you were thinking of vendor specific instructions (Like SSE1/2/3, MMX, 3DNow!, etc...)
Like Yahya Ayyash, nicknamed - wait for it - "The Engineer".
Israel eventually handed him an exploding cell phone, in a particularly nice bit of engineering.
Its called greasemonkey.

Therefore the best point to 'decipher' it would be at the Bank's server.

I've just checked, by attempting to install Half Life 2 under Wine.
It was actually really easy. The only problem was that I had to run Steam a couple times before it agreed to update itself...
As per the bug report, theres a workaround.
("OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo")
Yes, it has gotten way better.
It has support for Direct3D, tons of winapi functions, etc... It's pretty awesome at this stage, really.

Telesyncs can be actually pretty good.
SIMILAR ROLE!?
SIMILAR ROLE!?!?
A mad scientist type can't compare to the semi-erotic, M-M-M-Max Headroom-like, deranged AI that we all know and love.
Meh. SQLite is in fact rather nice. What I want them to get rid of is Mork (if they haven't already): http://jwz.livejournal.com/312657.html
