It's probably to prevent the opposite: taking large cheap PC harddrives are putting them in your TiVo. I don't think TiVo would care if you bought more of their units so you can have just the hard drive. TiVo makes money on each sale.
The odd thing is that the solution I got for answering in succession is as likely as when they all answer at the same time (being 75%). I'm still now sure why my same time answer works. I'm working on that now.
I said in a previous/. post that aliens used the DCMA to sue a government scientist for cracking their network protocols, but I was given a funny moderation. Now do you believe me?!?
You cannot cherry-pick which laws you want enforced -- you have to take the good with the bad.
Yes you can and no you don't. Part of being in a democracy means that the people effect the laws an policy in place. So you can cherry pick the good laws and get rid of or civily disobey the dumb ones. In fact, it's a patriotic duty.
I agree that a proxy is has it's own problems, the least of which is that is is no longer P2P.
I'm not certain how UDP is supposed to solve the problem. If the initiator is trying to contact a person behind a NAT, they still can't to it with UDP.
The only solution I can see is to add a layer between TCP and IP. Call it NATCP (or NCP, if you like nested TLAs). The NATCP data would be a chain of DWORD used to map back to a machine on the network. In the simplest implementations, it would be the IP address of the machine on the inner network, or be completely separate from the local IP address. 0.0.0.0 would be reserved for termination.
For those that fear that this takes away from the protection that NAT give the machines on the inner network: that is not the intention of NAT. NAT is used to give many machines access to the internet from a single IP address. Protection is provided by the firewall (which will often be you NAT server).
Note, that while I put this bewteen TCP and IP, it could easily go on top of TCP (although it more logically goes between the two).
For those that say, "why not just switch to IPv6", IPv6 doesn't solve this problem. ISPs will still only dole out a single IP address, because they want you to pay for each machine you connect at home (or at work). In this case, you get a single IP address, and you chain the NATCP address together, so even if you ISP is behind a NAT, their NATCP address gets prepended to yours. You can thus chain NAT networks with ease. This may be a better solution to the IP address shortage and allocation issues than IPv6.
Until P2P comes up with a solution to the NAT problems, it will continue to suck more and more. NATte home networks are going to become more and more commonplace, as handhealds and kid's computers get 802.11b in them and Airports or AirStations are sold to home consumers
In the movie Independance Day, Jeff Goldblum's character, Dr. David Levinson
uses his 31337 sk1llz to hack into an alien
computer system to save the world. Not only does he figure out the network protocol use by the distant race,
but is able to use his Virus Upload Utility v0.9 (the one that says "Uploading Virus" as it counts its way to 100),
to bring down the VWAN (Very Wide...) that coordinates the malicious visitor's attack. A billion
greys near-simultaneously rush to the attachment of an email labeled "I love you", expecting a eCard, but
instead rob their own network of its resources, and seal their own fate (if only they weren't so vein).
Now that is hacking.
Sure, pages like a nitpicker's guide to ID4, say that
Levinson could not have created the virus and the VUU v0.9 in the 4 hours 30 minutes the movie plot allots him,
but Levinson is smart and knows how to program. The guy who wrote the Ana virus didn't know how to
program and was caught (showing he isn't very smart). Levinson is no script kiddie, but a white-hatted wizard,
and the VUU was written by the thousands of ready developers who signed on to SourceForge, who had been
patiently waiting for any project, let alone one of this importance.
In the epilogue, the aliens were defeated, but some survived to use the DMCA against Levinson,
who went bankrupt on the settlement.
I agree. While this is an attept at humour, it would make sense if such a tunnelling RFC existed. Weblogic tunnels their t3 protocol over http so that you can connect to EJBs from applets. There are many uses for tunnelling TCP/IP over HTTP.
And yes, I know that HTTP runs over TCP/IP. SSH runs over TCP/IP and it does TCP/IP tunnelling. Damn handy as well. Removes a lot of the NAT problems with VNC, while encrypting your connection.
Is there an encryption patch so I can use a loopback fs to make an encrypted partion. I'm doing this in my 2.2 kernel and I don't want to upgrade if I can't patch it for this?

I certainly agree with this. One time I was riding with some friends from Ottawa to Waterloo. Half-way there, the driver (and owner) of the car switches with one of the passangers to give her a break. He starts to drive off, shifting from 1st to 2nd. Only he wasn't shifting from 1st to 2nd, he was shifting from 1st to 4th, because on this car 1 2 3 are on the top and 4 5 R are on the bottom. He was used to the 1 3 5 / 2 4 R configuration.
She told him to stop and drove the rest of the way.
You statement illustrated my point exectly. If a 14 year old fucks up enough so that they are given life without parole, then they don't deserve the rights. True, you earn the rights by waiting, by not screwing up. I never said it was hard to earn these rights. But some people can't do it. They feel that tying up and killing a younger friend is acceptable. Well, they fucked up in that period of time where they don't get full citizen rights yet are held accountable for their actions. So they get tossed in jail for life. The act of not doing the shit that they are held responisible for is the act of "responsibility".
I've never gotten up2date to work well for me. Instead, I've been using a script that parses rpmfind.net output and automagically installs stuff for me. Considering this news, I'm releasing the script to the public (something I didn't want to do because if rpmfind changes, the script breaks).
Here is the link to the script. Please mirror, etc, as this is a cable line, and my wife's website (the reptile shelter in my sig) will go down if this site goes down.
America works under the premise that the control of city planning comes, ultimately, from the people within the city. Individuals are elected, or are appointed by elected officials, to do the planning, and the planning itself takes input from the people. And even once a plan is finished, the people can augment the plan, either in specific cases (as was the case when my father wanted to cut a sliver of his farm land, which was zoned to not be cut up, so that he could sell it to our neighbour's son, so that he could live beside our neighbour who had recently had a stoke. Even though it was against the plan, it was approved), or a city coucil meeting or other lobby can change a whole zone.
An individual having total control over something is unamerican. I don't know that much about SimCity (I never could get into it), but if the people can lobby against the fact that you are planning on building a sewage processing plant next to the largest church in town, and inroing the wants of the people can make it sure that someone else is appointed as the city planner, then it I'd say it is more like the American ideal. If the people have to leave the city (the game equivelent would be the population goes down), then it is more like a dictatorship where people must defect to effect the policy that governs them.
Who is talking about Communism? He was talking about socialism. Communism is where the people cannot own any property, and it is the role of the government to redistribute the property according to the needs of the people in the system. Thus an orange grower does not actually own his oranges and the government can take away all of them and redistribute them evenly.
In socialism, individuals can own property, but the government plays a role in providing services that benefit the society as a whole. Welfare, government insure medicine (like in Canada), and a defensive ary are all socialist policies. The U.S. has socialist policies, Canada has them, and Europe has them. This is because it's been shown that a pure Capitalist system does not benefit the most as well (a few individuals benefit greatly, and large numbers of people suffer from unexpected things like loss of health or economic downturn, and this in turn increases the crime and violence rate).
We have tried all of the known development methods: Waterfall, prototyping etc. They all failed and ended as a kind of iterative feature driven development case.
It sounds like you now have a methodology that works for you (which is more important, IMHO, than using a community backed methodology), but have you tried XP? If it ends up being an iterative, feature diven development process, then you've succeeded.
And you shouldn't. Most Spam will make a reference to Bill 1618 stating that they have to remove you if you respond. Snopes has an article with an addedum that shows that this is bs
I really don't know if it really makes that much of a difference it being a BMath or BS in Computer Science. That's why I put the FWIW (for what it's worth), because I think of it more of a subnote than any real point. For me, it was helpful, because I ended up taking a Double in CS and Operations Research and the overlap in curriculum was rath high (I only needed 1 extra course), and I know a lot of others that did minors in Applied or Pure Mathematics.
One good thing about the required Math curriculum is that first year math classes covered standard proof methodologies (contradiction, induction, etc). These were required in later CS classes. They have dropped Calc 3 from the CS requirement and I can se why (it was basically Calc 2 generalized to n dimensions). The core math that is left (1 classical algebra, where you learn RSA, 2 linear algebra, 2 calc, 1 numerical statistics and one observational statistics), is rather handy to have in upper year CS, although I don't see the need for a whole Faculty just to support a CS Major.
I guess, in short, if a University wants to offer Applied Math, Combinatorics & Optimization (OR was a specialization of this), Pure Math, and Statistics as Majors, then it makes sense to open a faculty of mathematics. It even makes sense to me to put Computer Science in that Faculty and share core curriculum with the other Majors. But if you are just offering CS, you can achieve the same affect by adding these classes to a Science or Engineering Faculty (which I have little doubt they would already be part of, with the possible exception of Classical Algebra).
Knowing C is not the same as knowing assembly. Before I knew assembly, I had little idea as to how the stack was used in a function call, but I constantly used function calls in C.

Actually I just noticed they are both in the 63.236.73.* subdomain. It's likely that there is some affiliation.
