What took them so long? I guess since they could not get laws passed they wanted, they are going to do an end run and get the ISP's to do their dirty work.
The free, unmonitored, unfiltered, open internet we know today will be unrecognizable ten years from now, mark my words.. Bottom line: the internet as we know it is incompatible with controlling, big money corporations. Period. They fear it like the plague, and will never stop at trying to break it, or control it. And they have the resources to do it.
In places like china and the middle east your internet access is filtered and monitored due to fear of upsetting the government's rule.
In this - supposedly free country- your internet access is filtered and monitored due to fear of upsetting corporate profits.
I just can't see the difference.
I had a client with a similar issue. Turned out there was a phone in the basement he had forgotten about and did not have a filter. Installed the filter and he got between 60 - 100ms to his default gateway where before it was 250+ ms
Excellent point. Just ride high on your intellectual property, sling FUD, and move money around while making a healthy cut each time you do. That's our goal for this country.
I had a similar experience. The Chief of Police comes in to our computer shop in a panic. Their file server was down. I said I will follow you to the station, but he said he got a faster way - get in my car. I got my stuff since it sounded like a power supply issue, I brought a new supply.and into his police cruiser we went at 80+ mph down winding country roads (he did actually use his lights and siren - for a server failure) I must admit it was loads of fun.. I replaced a bum power supply and again he took me back to the shop sirens screaming lights flashing.. It was a toot!
In the Mid Hudson Valley, New York,in a town called Beacon this would be illegal. Just a few years ago a guy opened a shop very much like this. Three weeks after opening the police paid him a visit telling him that pinball machines and arcade games are against ordnance and illegal in the town of Beacon. He must shut his doors and pay a $1000 dollar fine for every day he was/is open. The owner had no idea of this ordnance and tried to appeal, and get the ordnance off the books with no luck. So he moved his place across the river to Newburg. Talk about stuck in the past..
I have not heard of this kind of insurance either. But the point is you should not have to have a lawyer on speed dial if your not dealing in shady things.. Or if you just an ordinary joe trying to live his life. I mean the guy just posted a video for christ sake.. Just like I should not feel the overwhelming need to carry my pistol and have an armed entourage every time I go out in public because the chances of me getting robbed is extremely high.
"Get a lawyer. Get him now"
Your zeal and your words sound very attractive and righteous -- but then there is reality..
So now something that was supposed to be free and fun, will suck money out of his pocket, drain his time, and tie him up in court for who knows how long. The system is rigged in favor of the rumblefish of the world.
So down the rabbit hole we go..
If you deconstruct this whole thing, both in US and Canada and all over the world in fact, it comes down to one thing. There are people our there that just can't stand the fact that they don't know what your doing behind closed doors. That the don't know who your screwing or in what position for that matter. That they don't know who your talking to and why. That they don't know your personal secrets. They can't stand this. They automatically think that the desire for privacy = criminal. I mean you must be a criminal if you send private love letters to your girlfriend. Thees people will stop at nothing and use any excuse to rid personal privacy. They use lame excuses like "Think of the children" and the like. And the internet makes their head spin - millions of people are using it - and we need to know why what for and what their doing.
"You're doing something wrong" - You are right - relying on intel's stock heat sink/fan, I corrected it.
"either it's overclocked" - nope never
"you have no thermal compound" - Intel stock heat sinks have built-in or pre-applied thermal compound. never really liked the idea but..
"or your case sucks pretty badly for airflow." - It actually sucks and blows:) Massive case with massive fans.. Internal case temp well within limits..
Perhaps your results are different, after all an I5 != I7 and I'm talking about running all cores @100% for extended periods. I do know how to place a heatsink on a CPU with the correct amount of high quality compound. I have been doing it ever since the 486 introduced cpu fans. and I have building machines for 20+ years, I have never been happy with stock heat sinks. Casual users would never notice this however, power users do..
"Um, if Intel's CPUs can't safely run at 100% continuously"
It can, just not with their stock heat sink/fan. With the stock heat sink I get up to 100C! With my massive Zero therm heatsink and fan it gets no higher than 70c at max load.
"To be fair, a heavy ray-tracing load for many hours on end is hardly appropriate for consumer grade CPU's."
What can I say, I am a poor artist, I just dabble in 3d stuff. However if you have any Xeon based servers laying around I'll be glad to take them off your hands..
True, much cooler than AMD counterparts but try running that i5, or i7 in my case, with a stock fan/heatsink with 100% load on all cores as I do when ray-tracing.. In the first 15-20 minutes the temp gets above safety limits. Since renders can take hours or days, I can't use Intel stock fans. But the Intel chips have much better protection mechanisms that the AMD counterparts. Intel chips will first start by deferring instructions to the next clock then after a while will execute a HALT instruction to protect themselves. I have seen AMD chips that would go POOF under thees conditions.
What better way to squash a competitor or possible competitor? - kick them when they are down -- i.e. bankrupt..
Makes sense to me. A lion will always go after the weaker prey.

I have. Forever. Never again.

About time they get it together - especially when your not the most liked kid on the block.
I wonder if the staff at Penn State read this. :)
Sorry -- 50 feet
A CMOS 555 timer running about 1 Mhz with a high pass filter to get the upper harmonics, and a small antenna. It works only up to about 50 though.
I had a client with a similar issue. Turned out there was a phone in the basement he had forgotten about and did not have a filter. Installed the filter and he got between 60 - 100ms to his default gateway where before it was 250+ ms

My friend from Venezuela teases me with the fact he fills his tank for about $1.50 us.. Gas there is about 15 cents a gallon. :)
Watch it now! You little whipper snapper!

The other answer is just to take down your stuff and never post again.. Somewhat simpler.
So I have to have a law degree now to post my a video of my birthday party? What a world we live in..

Attention all grubby controlling trolls:
Keep your FUCKING HANDS off my internet!
As long as they let me be Rumpelstiltskin.

Those who can do..
Those who can't sue..
"these gullible idiots "
And they are PROUD of it to.
I think it's the latest fad..
I'm using Mosaic from 1993 works great..
