3 megabytes in 10 days is six 2kB packets per hour. I don't find that unreasonable at all. My PC generates more ARP traffic than that.

I'm referring to front page stories, not comment threads.
Currently on the front page I see a different one of your journal entries, three collapsed grey stories, and one expanded green-header story. Below those is a button labeled "Many more". Clicking that button produces a rotating progress indicator for a second, then nothing else.
I take it that the 'Many More' button on the front page works for you? It doesn't for me, on any platform
This thread is discussing UK law.
The newspaper theft references apply to the LOIC specifically, but not to something like my WalMart example or a very-very-distributed DOS such as the
That is, if I take all of the free newspapers, it is very likely that I am breaking the law. But if I take one newspaper, and you take one, and Bob takes one, none of us have committed a crime. We haven't even conspired to commit a crime (since we actually did the thing, and it wasn't criminal).
The problem with calling a DDOS "unauthorized access" is that the access is implicitly authorized by the server being on the internet. The real world analogy here is getting your hundred closest friends to visit WalMart and go through the checkout lines VERY VERY SLOWLY. You have the intent to negatively impact their business, and you are acting recklessly, but that is only 2/3 (well, more like 9/10) of the criteria for violating the laws in question here. You are not using their store without authorization (they have to TELL YOU TO LEAVE before they have any legal relief for your being there).
My screen is 720 pixels wide (and 1280 pixels tall). I have to lower my text zoom to 80% to get the front page to fit on one screen. At 100% the normal view is too wide. At 120% it switches to the no-sidebar view, but it doesn't shrink back down. WTF?
What client? In this hypothetical, the client is the one hiring a CPA from India.
Other than to put "CPA" on their job application, why would the Indian accountant need certification as a CPA?
But what if you only need one part?
You need a set of wobble arrestors.
There are already prototypes for the next generation of reprap that can print their own circuit boards. These are all just incremental steps, and they are getting closer together. Combining an additive printer with a subtractive milling machine is coming.
I think the first major lawsuit over physical-item-IP-infringement, as relates to individual 3d printing, will be for a brand name shoe. $50k commercial 3d printers (the kind that can print in multiple materials, including plastic, polymers, rubber, etc at the same time) can almost print a commercial-quality shoe today (without laces).
Do you have any counterexamples? That is, for what problems was the optimal algorithmic solution known 20 years ago?
It is true in MANY senses. Take a game like Cube, which uses a very novel and efficient approach to representing and rendering a 3d world for a first person shooter. Send that code back in time to the day's of Wolf3D and it would blow them away on their same old-to-us hardware.
Solutions are obvious if one only has the optical power to observe them over the horizon. -- K.A. Arsdall
