Comment Forget QOS (Score 1) 362

QOS is not what you need to focus on.

Latency in this application will kill your sound quality far more than a few dropped packets. Optimally you'll want to be under 300ms for things to be manageable.

The other main thing to look for is a CODEC you can use with your chosen provider that uses as little bandwidth as possible and supports loss concealment. You need to worry about those two factors long before QOS becomes relevant to the equation.

Journal Journal: CBS & Corporate Censorship

By now, most of us have probably seen the "Bush in 30 Seconds" ads on the web. They were part of an online contest, and the winner has been chosen. The sponsor of the contest planned to show the winning ad during the SuperBowl on Feb 1st. CBS is refusing to show ad, claiming it is too controversial. This "controversial" ad can be seen Here(HighBW)

Wish I still had mod points for this one.

I fully agree if the user is distributing the software, they should be nuked, but I'd love to see the AUP/ToS for any ISP that dictated what software you could or could not run on your own machine.

If anyone actually read the documents (and does anyone still read EULAs, AUPs, and other such cruft?), they'd run so fast the ISP wouldn't see them go.

ISPs are responsible for, and thus should worry about, what their customers do WITH THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE. That does not apply in your pot smoking example, or in the example given in the parent article.
