uh, I'm sure you're a troll and all, but it seems there are people who actually believe this nonsense. it's insane. you are suggesting that penalizing businesses makes them more likely to keep their business in the states? huh? what exactly goes on inside of your head?

just for the record, Slashdot does not allow posts from Tor exit nodes.

Firefox will use more memory if the overall amount of memory you have is higher. it's proportional, as it ought to be. I doubt you have 32BG of memory. I have 8GB here, and currently have 230 tabs open, and Firefox is using ~2.4GB. as someone else mentioned, add-ons play a huge role in this as well. I've had Firebug disabled the majority of the time for this reason.

uh, what? my Firefox is using 2.4GB right now. and I love when these discussions start and some haughty POWER USER NERD feels it necessary to point out the fact that he has a whopping 10-20 tabs open. really? I have 230 open right now, and I just cleaned out about a hundred or so recently. what are you talking about?

it will work--it just won't work very well. it becomes a race condition in this case, which can be intelligently gamed.

If you're a guest in my home, you're welcome to use the bandwidth, along with the lights and water. Can you imagine visitig a friend only to be told, "Look, here's the PIN code to unlock the lights, and here's the key in case you want to wash your hands."

I can imagine it, yes, but only because I use a lot of drugs, and I've read Philip K. Dick, someone who also did a lot of drugs in his time.

actually, interleaved DSL is still only common in European markets, and other non-US markets around the world. fastpath is simply non-interleaved DSL. if you have access to a command-line interface or GUI on your DSL modem, you may be able to modify whether or not you use interleaving, but with some ILECs/CLECs this is not possible. just read the Wikipedia about interleaving. it's essentially just a method of error-checking and correction for lossy lines, as copper phone lines are pretty finicky, and DSL is heavily reliant upon clean signals. interleaving adds some 20-30ms or so of latency.

this doesn't show the same thing necessarily, as someone else said, some traceroute programs use UDP rather than ICMP. but additionally, this depends on how the receiving host handles TTL. they are not required to re-transmit using the same TTL value, and the reverse path is not necessarily the same as forward (and neither are necessarily static.)

Are you saying that you believe it is fair that there are some experiences in life that can never have because the number of zeros in your bank account is too small?

yeah, bro. I want a free Lamborghini. Obama owes me one. I hope you're ready to buy it for me. they're expensive.

uh what? I get the context of your post, but why would anyone reward risk taking? then it wouldn't be very risky, would it?

you can argue that case, at least if the channel is dedicated to that one cause. but intent is thought, not action. are we prosecuting people for their thoughts? anybody can join an IRC channel, presuming it's not keyed or invite-only, and anybody could even be accidentally made an operator. that's probably not likely, but just because someone is an operator somewhere doesn't mean they condone something other people around them are doing.

should they make an active effort to stop them? I don't recall signing up to be a police officer.

everyone in this entire fucking article is a moron. a name cannot be "racist" or "anti-semitic," whatever that even means.

a "bigot" named this connection? how's that work? I thought they were still trying to figure who's responsible. I'd think that makes them the "bigot."

if you are shocked and harassed, perhaps you should grow the fuck up or kill yourself, because you're not fit for life.

the words are: Niggers and Jews, not N------ and J------.

well, this whole thing is a joke and all of these guys are a bunch of clueless newbies, no doubt. but proxies? really? you don't DoS with proxies. then again, you don't use stateful protocols either. this whole thing is laughable.

not true. it's really only the death cap that is deadly. all Amanitas are toxic, but most of them can be taken safely, and Amanita muscaria will cause delirium, but as any fungus, it's a really tricky issue to judge dosage and get the desired effect. granted, Amanitas aren't "shrooms," though. I hate seeing people make that mistake. they are mushrooms, but shrooms in this context refer to psilocybin mushrooms.
