Luke: You know, I think that R2 unit we bought may have been stolen.
Uncle Owen: What makes you think that?
Luke: Well, I stumbled across a recording while I was cleaning him. He says that he belongs to someone named Obi-Wan Kenobi. I thought he might have meant old Ben. Do you know what he's talking about?
Uncle Owen: Just a fucking Craigslist thing, you know how it is.
Luke: I wonder if he's related to Ben.
Uncle Owen: That wizard is just a crazy old internet pervert. Now, tomorrow I want you to take that R2 unit to Anchorhead and have it's memory erased. That'll be the end of it. It belongs to us now.

that was Narus equipment then, as well. The Egyptians saw how good AT&T had gotten at it, and ordered themselves up some of that spy pie.

I don't like you any more. In fact, for the last 30 years, I found you kind of intolerable.

Content providers are at war with Netflix, and Netflix is differentiating Classes of Service depending on hardware used.

How I do I know? Same way you could know if you did the research. I have a Wii, a PS3 and Apple TV. Hook them up to a FastE hub, or a FastE switch that supports SPAN. Attach wireshark on a laptop.

Start the Netflix viewer on each device. Note that they each have different data centers that they reach out to. Always.

Traceroute to these IP addresses. Note that the Apple one in particular is congested at the last hop.

That is why the Netflix service sucks using the ATV2 unit.

So you have Netflix giving different hardware manufacturers different experiences - AND - you have bandwidth providers (mainly cable) trying to kill Netflix outright by rate shaping the traffic.

If I were Netflix, I wouldn't put those DVD burners on Ebay just yet...

So - um - let me get this straight...


I want to use a cracked signing key to install an O/S with NSA weakened IPSEC? (At least according to Theo de Raadt).


Does anybody find this strange? What should we call it? Peanut Brittle OS? Thin Ice?


I know! Kardashian's ass! It's got a hell of a crack in it!

Too many CIOs of too many western corporations report to the CFO, not the CEO. There are WAY too many CIOs who come into organizations with an eye, or a reputation, for cost cutting instead of tech innovation. Pick up any copy of CIO magazine and look at the toadies who make the top CIOs in the nation, and ask yourself - what innovation did they bring to make that list? What business process did they improve with tech? Only a handful make the cut. Most are there because they are good at pinching out costs, kicking out the older IT workers and either outsourcing or bringing in college grads.

I routinely see job ads for experienced Java developers, people with hard core experience in integration, esp. with telephony or security technologies, need 5-10 good years, offering $70k tops. Good luck with that, but again it is the CIOs who get the jobs telling people they can staff cheaper, run leaner, cut the corners - that get the job because it is the CFO who is doing the hiring and the performance reviews.

The big corporation IT C-level execs are a fear driven lot, there are no Gates or Zuckerburgs in their midsts. The action is being with the cloud providers, or the web service providers themselves. Enterprise IT is really a shit place to be outside China. It's a world full of EDS consultants and chickenshit CIOs who won't think how a business could use IT to expand. And the social media space is going to tear a bunch of them new assholes, because none of them know how to leverage it. The startups do.

Floyd are whores, Gilmour is a whore - Waters is out whoring his whore ass doing the Wall again and again, which he retained the rights to in his lawsuit over the Floyd name.


Do you guys KNOW how many greatest hit records there are of Floyd that ALREADY break their shit up?

http://www.amazon.com/Echoes-Best-Pink-Floyd/dp/B00005QDW5

There's one for you. There are PLENTY of others.

And only Dark Side and Animals and the Wall can be considered concept albums. EVERYTHING pre-DSOM (and that is a LOT) going back to Saucerful of Secrets are just a collection of individual songs ANYHOW.

Really - nothing to see here. Just a bunch of grey old sods selling out what they already sold out for more pension money. And maybe a new 458 Italia for Mason. this one in yellow, perhaps....

His solution is to bring back FidoNet (popular on the Amiga!) and other BBS solutions (I just KNEW UUCP wasn't dead!) or overlap WiMax or some part of the spectrum and put something akin to IPv4 or 6 on top of it.

Good fucking luck with that.

If you want to create something revolutionary, create a store and forward message system that can run on mobile devices and can transfer messages via bluetooth. It's akin to carrier pigeon, but it might actually work.

What we are doing now is tunneling INSIDE the corporate controlled networks to evade detection. Tor, old IPSEC tricks, encrypted BT - all these are methods of moving data around while avoiding the perception to the sniffing devices that data is being moved around, or at least what the data is. The idea that somehow there will be again some network of the people by the people is just a little too HAM radio modemish for me, despite the fact it can work technically.

Wrong.

Page 9. John Kenneth Galbraith, US ambassador to India, worked with Polish ambassadors to broker a deal in 1963 to stave off military conflict.

An alliance isn't always formal. I don't give two fucking shits if you recognize history or not, but Poland worked with the US to try and resolve the conflict between the north and the south, as there were economic reasons to do so.
