Sorry, but both (*) the blocking of port 25 by Comcast Verizon et al and (*) the blocking of incoming mail from large cable providers' IP blocks are both old news.
I have been extremely happy using dyndns's SendLabs (formerly MailHop) SMTP for outgoing e-mail routing and SendLabs (formerly MailHop) Relay for incoming e-mail. My outgoing e-mail server uses MailHop as the smarthost, and they listen on port 2525 to avoid port blocking. MailHop is my MX record, and they spool my incoming e-mail and send it to port 2525, which my local mail server listens to.
The only caveat is that I had to switch to exim as my e-mail software, but if I remember correctly, they have setup instructions on the dyndns web site.
“We are informed that within a week of Level 3’s announcement on Nov. 11 that it would be primary carrier for Netflix streaming video, Comcast informed Level 3 that Comcast would, for the first time, charge Level 3 a fee to reach Comcast’s customers who had requested any content carried by Level 3,” said Harold Feld, the legal director of Public Knowledge, one of the groups involved.
Netflix currently pays up to $1 per DVD mailed round trip, and the company mails about 2 million DVDs per day. By comparison, the company pays 5 cents to stream the same movie.
Does this figure reflect the $20million Comcast payoff?
Assuming we're talking about a criminal trial, then you find "not guilty". It's the prosecution's job to prove the case. If they didn't, then they lose.
A civil trial is less cut-and-dry, but the same basic rule holds -- the plaintiff needs to prove his case. If he doesn't, then he doesn't win.
If they falsely assumed I have a clue while I don't?
Your lack of clue is actually part of your oath as a juror, to only consider the evidence provided to you in the courtroom by the lawyers under the observation of the judge. If they falsely assume you have a clue when you don't, that is their problem.
I'm enjoying reading all of the comments and stand behind mine.
"Okay, sweetie, before we can go to the airplane, I need you to give me your shoes, your jacket, and Teddy. Then you're going to walk through the special gate, and I'll give Teddy right back to you as soon as the policemen are done playing with him."
If you're telling me that your relationship with your kid is such that you can't manage a conversation similar to this one, then I don't think I'm the idiot here. Be a parent.
That is not conservative! It's the opposite! Stop calling it that!
It's what they call themselves. I'm sorry if you're upset that a few random nut-cases are co-opting the term you like to use, but (as you noted) welcome to the club.
Not the same thing. Roads take-up tons and tons of space. A hairthin fiber optic takes up virtually no space, so you can run 10-20 dedicated lines to every neighborhood and thereby provide 10-20 different cable TV providers.
And have 10-20 different companies hiring 10-20 different construction crews to dig up my street 10-20 times to install those lines? Remember, the US is not one of those socialized countries where the government does everything you ask it to.
You are also confusing the high fixed overhead costs/processes of running cable against the variable (and comparatively much lower) costs of running data.
Also if we followed your view to its logical conclusion, all the car companies should be merged into one single unit, to avoid wasting resources. But then of course you would have a car manufacturer monopoly, which is inherently anti-liberty and should be avoided at all costs. Same applies to TV monopolies like Comcast.
How is this the conclusion of my view? All I said was "Ford (for example) would not be building cars if, as a precondition for entering the car-manufacturing field, it first had to run a series of roads throughout the country."
Roads are public thoroughfares built with public funds, open to all comers. Communication lines are private thoroughfares built with private funds and reserved for private use. The fact that we chose one method for one and the other method for the other leads us to the difference between cable as a natural monopoly and automobiles as a competitive industry.
>>>Running coax or fibre or whatever costs a ton of money.
Oh well. Having twenty different car companies (Honda, Ford, Kia, Volkswagen, etc) is also an expensive endeavor, but we do it because the alternative of not having choice is far, far worse.
And if each car company had to build its own system of roads for its cars to drive on, then we wouldn't have twenty different car companies.
Ultimately, the state of information security can be summed up in the book's final three sentences, in which John Viega writes that 'real, timely improvement is possible, but it requires people to care a lot more [about security] than they do. I'm not sure that's going to happen anytime soon. But I hope it does.'"
if you cost ANY company 6.6 million your ass would be fired and there would be hell to pay. RTFA. The fines (plural) total $6.6 million. The largest fine (for a merchant) was $1.1 million
" No they wouldn't. Repeat after me, "DNS is not a content classification system". "
Inherently, not, you're right. But it can be used as one.
You're only half-right. DNS as content classification can be used to keep people out -- as you noted,.museum is only for museums,.edu is only for schools. No non-porn sites would have a.xxx domain name.
But that does nothing to stop porn sites (or museums or schools) from having.com addresses.

And what if no side called such a witness?

Control your kid. Then she'll go through the metal detector, get her teddy bear back, and this non-story is over.
There wasn't really a boy who cried "Wolf" either. But it's a useful parable to describe a situation.
Back when I lived in New York, I had a Taxi Driver's license. They required SSN for this. That was, oh, 1990-ish?

Thanks for spoiling the ending.

Because emailled files get onto your computer magically without you downloading them, right?
Yes, actually. When you e-mail something to me, it is stored on my computer without any specific overt acts on my part.
Baby steps, dude. Baby steps.
Given that a DVD has at least 4.5GB of storage and this USB device is 2GB, I am reckoning that this is not better in any way.
Don't confuse the two statements
A DVD can store 4.5GB of data
The data on this DVD is 4.5GB.
