  1. Build super proxy into BitTorrent on BitTorrent Devs Introduce Comcast-Proof Encryption · · Score: 1

    Allow for a proxy list where if a proxy connection is not working it is automatically connected to the next working connection. Everything on the proxy has multiple simultaneous connection where all Comcast sees is the one proxy connection. All the proxy sees is encrypted data flowing to multiple peers. As long as your proxy is not *iaa.net you should be good to go.

  3. Re:Which is worse? on New Legislation Could Eventually Lead to ISP Throttling Ban · · Score: 1

    As a former customer of Comcast, let me tell you something: THEY'RE GOING TO RAISE YOUR RATES NO MATTER WHAT!! No, they are going to raise my neighbor's rates while I leech off his wireless router. Take that Comcast!

  4. Re:"Suspected" incidence on UK Government To Terminate File Sharers' Net Access · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Nice to see that they're not even going for proven guilt in this case.

    Actually what I read is worse than this. Anything they do not like will be turned into "suspected" illegal file sharing. Blog the wrong thing? Suspected illegal file sharing. Visit an unapproved website? Suspected illegal file sharing. Have an ISP connection with my competitor? Suspected illegal file sharing.

    Don't think it will happen? Obviously you don't understand human nature too well.

    Actually the researchers were tired of singing the same old song, "Raindrops keep fallin on my head." and decided to convert their irritation to energy.

    That is nothing. My ISP embeds "Nothing to see here. Move along." into every slashdot post I make.

    I'm pretty sure the person editing this made a big cockup when they changed "Like you don't open a double-A battery, you just plug it in and it does its chemical thing inside of it. You don't ever open it or mess with it.

    Actually as an experimenting teenager, I took a bunch of used AA batteries, hooked em up in series, and applied wall current. They all exploded, one after another. It was fun to watch and listen to.

    Disclaimer Kids, do NOT try this as it can be quite dangerous.

    I was smart enough to wear safety goggles and was a healthy distance from the event.

  11. Re:Chemical Thing on Portable Nuclear Battery in the Development Stages · · Score: 1

    A chemical reaction is not a nuclear reaction. I think that any company that doesn't understand this difference shouldn't really be in the business of making portable nuclear reactors.

    Nuclear definition:
    1. Biology Of, relating to, or forming a nucleus: a nuclear membrane.
    2. Physics Of or relating to atomic nuclei: a nuclear chain reaction.
    3. Using or derived from the energy of atomic nuclei: nuclear power.
    4. Of, using, or possessing atomic or hydrogen bombs: nuclear war; nuclear nations.

    nuclear. (n.d.). The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Retrieved November 26, 2007, from Dictionary.com website: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nuclear
    Emphasis added.


    Knowing a bit about chemistry, I know that protons in the nucleus play very much a role in common chemical reactions, specifically for determining molar amounts of different elements, balanced between proton donor and proton receiver.

    Please tell me how this is not nuclear and how your comment could get a +2 informative.

  16. Re:less? on Intel Releases Several Projects to Help Save Power · · Score: 1

    Does it really matter though? LessWatts is short, understandable and catchy. FewerWatts or LessWattage just sounds pedantic.

    Unless you are the guy who accidentally sticks his finger in a live light socket.

    This happened to me once when the chain had broken and I used the twisting of the light bulb action to turn it on. Well early one morning I got the shock of my life. I was an instant human voltmeter.

    I see this as the new and improved Nigerian Email scam. You receive an Email notifying you that your identity has been stolen, but quick, if you click on the link and sign up for this one free year of ID theft you can be protected. This reminds me of the spyware remover that was in fact spyware.

    the conspiracy angle dictates that not encrypting the data in these cases is the goal.

    Actually the real conspiracy here is "to create a problem, to become the solution, to establish greater control." So in sum, the real purpose here is to have greater control over the people, so that the powers that be can lord it over the people. Something in human nature makes this so.
