The Multipath TCP (MPTCP) working group develops mechanisms that add the
capability of simultaneously using multiple paths to a regular TCP
session. The primary output of the group will be the protocol extensions
needed to deploy MPTCP, and adaptations to congestion control to safely
support multipath resource sharing.
How exactly is this news? A German student did this in 2001 for his MS thesis, and the robot has been commercially available since 2003 from one of the larger German gambling machine vendors (site in German, but has photos and videos of the commercial version).
Anyone know if Mail.app finally gained support for subscribing to selected email folders? This is the single feature I cannot live without (hundreds of public IMAP folders on the company mail server).
Not sure from your question if you'd like to do all of your grad studies abroad. If you are interested in a short (6-12 month) stint, doing an internship or your MS thesis internationally at a company or research lab is another option. Companies are usually better set up to handle international applicants. At least in our case, we semi-actively look for such students, and typically pay them enough to live off while they are visiting us.
"This is the very first book to discuss the theory and principles of computer programming on the basis of the idea that a proof of correctness and a program should be developed hand in hand. It is built around the method first proposed by Dijkstra in his monograph The Discipline of Programming (1976), involving a "calculus for the derivation of programs." Directing his materials to the computer programmer with at least one year of experience, Gries presents explicit principles behind program development, and then leads the reader through example programs using those principles. Propositions and predicate calculus are presented as a took for the programmer, rather than simply an object of study. The reader should come away with a fresh outlook on programming theory and practice, and the assurance to develop correct programs effectively."
It would only mean that NP-complete problems would now have a polynomial solution. It would *not* contrain the exponent of the polynomial, so they could still (and likely would still) be very hard.
With USB being so prevalent, could these become a viable alternative to SmartCards? 8MB seems plenty for a few keys and algorithms, even in multiple representations. Of course, you'd need to trust them to be read-only...
Quick question for the mozilla insiders: Does this release support S/MIME? If not, will that be available anytime soon? (Missing S/MIME support is what forces me to use 4.76...)
One problem of bazaar-style open source on the Mac ist the lack of tools to support it. Yes, there are two decent CVS implementations. Both do not support SSH accesses to remote repositories. There is one (commercial) SSH client for the Mac that allows connection forwarding. That works if you can SSH into the machine that holds the CVS repository - does not work with SourceForge.
Another problem is that Mac projects usually contain binary files that change quite often (resources). CVS is great for merging text, not-so-great for binary files. Files with resources are a special problem, since they need to be flattened as MacBinary or BinHex files before CVS can manage them.
Generally, open source tools are to Un*x-centric; or the Mac development model is too different. I'm really looking forward to MacOS X, which should bring the two together nicely.

I stopped reading at "quick and dirty" - media quality comparison requires a careful methodology if the results are to be at all meaningful.
Why speculate based on the FCC filings? The entire scheme is described right here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-livingood-woundy-congestion-mgmt
From the charter:

It's a great service IF you fly business and your seat has power.

You do NOT want to use a compact flash card for a read/write file system; they have a limited number of write cycles.

And they are part of the FreeBSD ports tree already.

Just for the record, SSH and SSL are unrelated, i.e. SSH is not implemented over SSL.

As other said mozilla, doesn't support it yet. Someone out there have an ETA when it will?

National legislation can only have limited impact.
