The/8s I'm talking about were allocated before IANA even existed. If G.E. decided to start leasing out chunks of 4/8, there isn't much IANA could do about it.
Does that take into account universities and large companies giving back all the class A ip addresses they have that were initially given out back in the day?
Why the heck would HP, Apple, and every other publicly-traded company with/8s give back address space when they could lease it? (I'm also genuinely asking)
If you have dozens or hundreds of long-duration, active flows (BitTorrent) and your neighbor has a few intermittent, short-duration flows (Firefox), it's pretty obvious who to throttle. The port numbers in use is irrelevant in this case.
Sourceforge lacks the polish of a true app store. Techies are comfortable with it, but it would be confusing to a mass audience.
"Comfortable" is a relative term. "Able to wade through all of the dead projects and locate the useful bits" would be more accurate. Same with Freshmeat.
Writers have been using and relying on outlining far longer than word processors have existed. It's a feature which would make OO more usable for a lot of people.
Saying that you don't need it because product X didn't have it is a perverse form of marketing in and of itself.
Maybe your medical (and financial) records should be DRMed?
I'm only half joking. If you buy the music and movie industries' argument it's such a great idea, why shouldn't it be applied for the benefit of consumers?
Seconded. My email addresses tend to be old, public, and static. This means they get a ton of spam. It's not worth the time and effort of handling anti-spam in-house when Postini can do an equivalent or better job at a reasonable price.
Switching to Postini also freed up a ton of RAM and CPU on our hosted servers.
The article was about browsers with market share. Even on the geek-heavy site I run, Konqueror accounts for 0.1% (that's "zero point one percent") of visitors.
My use case is the opposite of yours. I use my phone infrequently enough that it has to bug me to charge it. I'd love to have one that could charge itself while lying face-down on my desk.
If you're about to join the upcoming avalanche of smartass comments, try reading the UDP-Lite RFC first. For some applications (notably real-time voice and video), timeliness and efficiency are more important than accuracy.
If this means my music player or phone get more battery life, I'm all for it.
Most of the cool stuff (dual band, MIMO, greenfield, and much, much more) in 802.11n is optional. As a result, consumers have to be very careful to make sure that the components in their.11n network have overlapping supported options.
I'm surprised no one has created a web site that details which products support each option.

Only five years ago...
Only five years ago, Twitter was still steam-powered!
Have you ever stayed on some place after accepting a counter-offer? How did becoming traitorous and costly work out for you?
Would this algorithm be useful to the rsync team?
There're scarcely more than 5 or 6 opensource / creative commons fonts which are:
List, please.
by that same stretch, debunking magic would be unethical.
Try going to a Penn & Teller show and telling everyone how each trick is done.

I still want my DeWALT laptop, dammit.
I can only imagine the /. response if Tog were to tackle Linux's various UI issues. Why do you hate him much? What did he ever do to you?

Marketing...

Funner fact: Ethernet was based on the foundations laid by ALOHA, a wireless networking protocol.
Another Zetta cofounder is Lou Montulli...
We can all rest easy now. The cloud will have a "blink" tag.

80 characters should be enough for anyone.

He's too busy fighting jedis now.

The pedometer and CO2 calculator? Meh.
And if you want to argue this, I suggest you go talk to the bean counters where you work.
Bean counters won't use this (at least I hope not). Telecom engineers will.

It's perfectly safe as long as the underlying blockdevice is safe (RAID).
I'd rather have a filesystem that's perfectly safe period, thankyouverymuch.
Try getting a Wi-Spy.
