It's very difficult to prove that traffic shaping is taking place, but you can make a pretty definitive case with a little research.
Net traffic and spam generally only delay transmission time. A disproportionate number of dropped packets and reset connections often indicates throttling.
If you use Azureus, there is a plugin (Network Status Monitor) that monitors these things in order to determine how your ISP is handling P2P traffic.
My money will go to the first AV product that detects a virus that cannot be removed (due to files being locked down by the OS / in use / etc), tells me that it needs to shut down in order to fix the problem, and then boots into a PE environment to clean the bugger out.
That is kinda like asking Americans if they think terrorism should be fought, and if so should it be done by the US DoD. That's an excellent analogy, because it infers a similar backlash against anyone who doesn't give the desired answer. Anyone who doesn't think that terrorism should be fought, and fought by the US DoD must be a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer.
I doubt that real public opinion in China is quite as polarized into two neatly-defined camps as the survey would have us believe.
Bullocks. There are candidates for election that collectively share all three of those attributes......Unfortunately, any given individual running for office can offer you only two out of those three criteria.
I'm surprised there's only been one good post to this effect.
To everyone who is getting wet thinking about a mass of computers in a few US military installations flooding political opponents with connections: consider that the internet is basically a series of tubes. (Stay with me).
It doesn't matter how many water taps you have on side A, running at full pressure, if they are all connecting through a small pipe to get to target B. More taps and pressure are good, but the bottleneck is the connection. If the bottleneck is smaller than B's capacity to receive water (or sewage, or whatever you're sending through this awkward tube analogy), then B is not being flooded.
I hear you. And not that they're seeking money to expand the program beyond Bryan Adams,
I begin to look more fondly of those times. In fact, me and some guys from high school had a band. We tried real hard until Jimmy quit and Jodie got married. I shoulda known we'd never get far. When I look back now and if I had the choice, I'd always wanna be there. Those were the best days of my life.
Why not adopt a Karma system? It's not like it's a new concept. (Hey... look: we have one here.)
People who're "new around here" or tend to troll tend to have their messages buried. The messages of established, insightful posters tend to float to the surface. A very lightweight and open system of moderation allows anonymous messages of value (like that of the parent) to be "modded" into higher visibility.
Additionally, giving certain "privileges" to quality posters allows you to retain the core discussion group. There's no need to set up additional barriers to your potential readership.
Kongregate is famous, of course, as the leading gaming website that pays independent game developers. Games that are highly rated and frequently played are allotted a portion of the ad revenue generated from the page.
It's doubtfully enough to make a living off of, but it's enough to pay for the coffee / Mountain Dew and cheesies of a hobby-level programmer.
Exactly. In America, the barrier is not of authoritarianism and despotic police rule; it is one of ignorance and complacency. The barrier may look imposing, but it can be penetrated with ease.
From Seattle in the Pacific to Jacksonville on the Atlantic, a "soggy cardboard curtain" has descended across the Continent.
Shaped charges have been using explosively formed jets for ages. Why remove ourselves from the simplicity the old way (and muck with electromagnets to do the same task)?
So I read TFA:
"MAHEM offers the potential for higher efficiency, greater control, the ability to generate and accurately time multiple jets and fragments from a single charge, and the potential for aimable, multiple warheads with a much higher EFJ velocity, hence increased lethality and kill precision, than conventional EFJ/SFP."
Anyone notice how the gas companies have pushed the price of diesel above the price of gasoline? Anyone want to take a bet that the increases to diesel fuel prices continue to outpace increases to gasoline prices with the "threat" of clean Diesel vehicles?
Unfortunately, the reason why spam email is so profitable is that a significant proportion of internet users *can't* discern between spam and legitimate email.
It's too bad there aren't any good widgets out there. This is the best program I could find for measuring total daily, weekly and monthly bandwidth usage. (My ISP charges per GB after a certain limit). It runs in the tray, doesn't have a high resource footprint, and it works.
I've just realized that I haven't been "participating" because my system (Intel Quad w/ Nvidia 8800 w/ 24" wide LCD) cost less than the requisite $1200... and less than a new PS3 at launch, at that.

Probably. Except that hobos tend to be comprised of very "gamey", tough meat.
Therefore, it is necessary to microwave on HIGH for a few additional minutes. Marinating helps too.

I had no idea that "home heating", as you call it, was a new development.
Subsequently, it has been suggested that US spies set fire to everyone, just in case.

Looking at this from a production standpoint, it would not make sense to clone the non-edible parts.
KFC and McDonalds have recognized this principle for a long time: hence, mysterious vats growing chicken nuggets, balls, etc.

It would be great if that could work.

...and have I. It's way faster than whipping out a ruler.
I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say "what is a global positioning satellite?"

A heads up to anyone interested in hunting for the sell price. The item is no longer listed under ebay's "completed listings."
