There was this case in which GT440 where modified to report themselfs as GTX660:

Did you know that in most cases, you only need to bypass whatever method is used for checking your location. The server that does this, is usually not the one you stream your video from. It means that after passing the location check, you can actually connect directly to the video server for watching the video itself (and suffer much less from connectivity issues, if at all).

Look at this trick for example.

"Basically we are interested in proxying content only for certain domains. The actual streaming media sits on CDN networks and is usually not geo-locked. The amount of proxying we'll end up doing will be relatively insignificant compared to a VPN-based setup."

In case you want to try it out, there is a free service that does it. I'm a customer of a paid one which combines both VPN ("ibVPN") and DNS ("ibDNS") based services. On the paid front there are many other services that offer similar functionality. Most offer several hours of free trial, so you could see which ones works best for you.

Having said that, did you try contacting your ISP for support? Perhaps they change something in their routing tables which happens to work very bad for you? Maybe they can help.

or insufficient affordable "cpu time". Performing tasks like "Multiple sequence alignment", Finding "Motifs in sequences" and even running a "Basic Local Alignment Search Tool" means using probabilistic models which requires a lot of computation.

You mean 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

The idea is very nice. Give people the ability to answer their doorbell from wherever they are.
The proposed implementation of this idea might be an overkill but the by idea itself is still rather innovative.
It basically takes an existing concept of an Intercom and enhances it to become easier to install at home and to be able to reach you wherever you are by establishing a connection to a device you already own.

Completely agree beside of one exception:

The Academia in Israel is actually considered to be one of the last remaining "Strongholds of the left wing" (I guess it only applies to the Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa universities) and are regularly attacked by the Israeli media because of it.

This is a brilliant idea. It is even field proven in the area's past :)

Hehe, true. Yet it does sound like an impending performance trouble. I would have started off with Ally-Cat It wouldn't demand much and it was my first PC game ever :)

Thanx, it looks very polished and comes bundled with some cool stuff like Commander Keen 4, demo version of X-COM: UFO Defense.
Will try it out on my MacBook.

uuencode / uudecode are indeed FTW in this case. I can already imagine Firefox Add-ons that make automated use of those and provide you with an FTP-styled Front-End GUI.

It might make you happy to know that you can already enjoy old classic DOS games on your machine by using DOSBox.

Well, you could try using copy/paste to echo Base-64 encoded data into a file and then base64 -d it back to binary form on the emulator.

Reminds me of "Winter 2008's smash hit" (literally). Conficker.B worm featured a mysterious payload hashing which turned out to be the first known "production" use of MD6

Now I understand.
As a tribute to the 1999 Win32/Crypto, the summery of this article has been formulated like the virus-hoax chain-mails of that era.

A good alternative might be having the area below the screen become touch-sensitive. Then you can just have a Home-icon drawn there and tap on it (rather then press) to get Home, double tap to open the Task-manager and etc. This might not trigger any Buttonophobia among Apple's upper management. It would be nice if additionally, this area would accept single finger swipe gestures and a two finger pinch gesture that are configurable.
