I've been a customer for a year and I measured the exact differences between usenet (900 kB/s), usenet encrypted with sslv3 (900 kB/s) and usenet encrypted with sslv2 (1.8 kB/s), usenet over an encrypted VPN (800 kB/s). I have searched for every possible explanation but, with only a minute between each test, it is definitely traffic shaping. These tests were performed multiple times and the numbers were each time in the same range.
I do not know if they do their shaping on a local basis, but they surely do.
On the right side? You know they make heavy use of traffic shaping, don't you? Bittorrent, newsgroups and sslv3 stuff are severely affected.
So long for the right side...
I did not hear about such a tax and it could not possibly exist in European Union because discriminating laws are forbidden. Though some european country (France does) give tax cuts to couples with children to encourage procreation and thus reduce the population aging.
Used to. That's not even true anymore at transparency bitrates with lastest Lame improvements. -V5 and -V6 are transparent in most cases.
You examples are quite meaningful of the general openness problem : better quality does not mean wider userbase. Typical users do not really care about quality because they do not know what quality is.
You know, in France, small brick and mortar store have to deal with multiple taxes. We've got different taxes on books, alcoholic beverages, perfumes, DVDs, music, food, and even more that I do not know about. Some small stores sell multiple of these things and, guess, do not whine about it.
Is it so hard to manage 50 different taxes matching the billing states? No, it's not.
BTW, I am J2EE/PHP web developper who has already worked on an online store.
Phone service providers have absolutely no interest in providing reliable service. Overpriced good enough service, is well... good enough. As every mobile operator sells crap, you only have choice between crappy crap and not so crappy crap but crappy as well. Here is the fucked up market, pick your choice in the cartel.
Late disclaimer:
I am not american and so far I've only spent 3 months in Texas...
Where I live, in France, this kind of quite heavy weapons are absolutely forbidden.
Yeah, and even in France, for my previous job I had often to work 55H a week without any compensation as a software engineer. Stop dreaming... Europe is NOT a miraculous haven, even France with its really employee-biased laws.
You can get f*cked up by a company in any country. The country does not matter so much...
It's not that they can, it's that they do have straight kids. Gay people have statistically more straight kids than straight people. Gay couples try to raise their children *normal* so that they do not meet the same hardships as their parents, but even more than straight parents.
More important than "several Linux distros", it's included in Ubuntu, the most hyped Linux distro.
The strange part is that the patches are actually affecting missing stuff that seriously hinders OpenOffice.org capabilities to be compatible with MS Office. But I know that Sun people are control freaks and do not use much external code. Maybe this could make them realize their policy is stupid and unsustainable.
I strongly disagree. Yeah, it's easy to set up but it's a pain in the ass to extend and the default filter sucks. The selling points of adblock plus are the fantastic default filters and the easy click and ad to block list.
People who use unsecure password will use unsecure retrieval question. Guess what is the problem? Worse, once their uber secure password is stored on their navigator, they will use a simple question. In the end, the user is almost ever the problem.
I usually use something personal enough so that nobody else, even my girlfriend, knows the answer.
I totally agree. My worst experience was with an ebuild on Gentoo. With my MAudio soundcard, I had to enable a special --configure option on build so that Stepmania could work. I made a simple patch and submitted it, because it perhaps could probably be useful to others. It was only accepted a year later. I had almost totally forgot about this stuff when it happened and I could not have been of any use anymore on it. I was not even using Gentoo anymore.
Please, do not take Sony as a maker of reliable consoles. PS1 and PS2 were notorious for them crappy disc drives that used to fail rapidly in less than 3 years in many cases. PS2 could also read DVD so that you could kill your drive even faster.

And I have to add this : http://listening-tests.hydrogenaudio.org/sebastian/mp3-128-1/results.htm
Yeah, transparency is pretty damn high at this range...

Do you have anything to support your point of view?
Vorbis beats the crap out of MP3.

I can't. I am using BT 2.x...
Blade Runner was quite like that.

F-Secure cannot get money out of iPhone users, therefore whines and tries to scare executives.

Wouldn't such a gun, if it were real, be classified as a war weapon and therefore be forbidden?
Dude, you made my day.

Sorry for the typos.
It was of course "I guess we have to pay for the increasing cost of the commercials before the movies..."
I guess we have to pay for the increasing cost of the commercials beforce de movies...

Chrome needs an adblock plus.

Outlawed? I've seen nunchakus in so many shops in France that I can hardly believe it. Furthermore, a cousin of mine used to have one.
