If we're going here then I'd say Citrix Receiver is far more the 'killer app' since road warriors are not using VNC, sorry...

(BTW

This might have been true in 1997 but it's certainly not anymore.

The most effective DDoS attacks are layer 7 attacks.
It is pretty easy to deal with layer 4 attacks, trivially so to deal with layer 3 attacks.

For DDoS attacks the harder to differentiate between an attacker and legitimate user the harder it is to protect against.

Besides never being allowed on an airplane again- even after you get out of federal prison? ;)

Your opt-out is to have someone actually touch you in a way that anywhere else (save while under arrest) would result in punching or macing the attacker. This isn't because you failed a non-invasive screening procedure, it's because you don't want to take your clothes off.

It is literally an order of magnitude slower than standard screening. You have to stand still with your arms raised for at least 15 second after they start the scan. Then you need to stand and wait for the "all clear" over the radio. Or you need to wait for someone to take like a minute to make a rucus about you opting out and then explain the procedure you're about to go through.

Nobody has proved that an undergarment bomb can be effective at bringing down an airliner. Besides what stops an up the ass or breast implant based device?

This is what we need for the DNS system - a decentralized distributed directory.

Oh wait that's EXACTLY WHAT IT IS! Notice how there was no outage because the H-root was down.

And like sibling jojoba points out- p2p DNS would be HORRIBLE from a trust perspective.

Ignore armanox- he is obviously confused about his setup. Unless he has some uber exotic display device there is no way it's from 1992 and decodes ATSC without an issue...

Exactly the right way to look at it.

After 17+ years on the Internet I don't have many 'firsts' anymore... This was one of them though!

Ok, first, he's probably being held in Kuwait because he was stationed in Iraq at the time he was taken into custody. I really don't think it's for the reasons you think it is.

More importantly the OP asked why he was held without charge, not held in Kuwait, ok?

Only on /. can one seriously answer an AC's question and be modded a troll.

FFS This isn't "Informative" it's being a "Troll."

This perp is in the military- there is absolutely no need for the "2006 military commission act." He VOLUNTARILY put himself under the UCMJ.

Because they're doing a proper investigation first. This isn't a civilian under the jurisdiction of normal criminal laws.

Would you not agree that given the nature of the actions he is believed to have committed it was important to get him out of circulation ASAP?

Seriously though- what do you expect to happen to a traitor guilty of espionage while in uniform? We're not talking about prison sentences here- shouldn't caution be the word?

...Which is exactly why it is so damn bothersome and confusing that this appears to have happened.

That would make sense- if they hadn't gone out of their way to state that the propeller is driven by the wheels and spinning against the wind.

I'm sure nobody but us is reading this, heh, but anyways...

If you go and reread the original post by amanicdroid, my reply to him, and your reply yo me, I think you'll see the relevance.

The biggest point of correction that I'll make is that we're not talking about correcting an externality but the "cross elasticity of demand" between regular and clean energy.

Economist humor abounds! Taken in that context I am in fact arguing that there is an externality and you against it (you'll gladly pay plenty for clean energy).

However I really wasn't talking about externalities, I was trying to talk to the fact that amanicdroid and you were both saying "I'll pay shitloads more" to which I was trying to point out that you will not get fit to the curve ;)
