it's trivial to enable LACP to bond several 1 gbps links. no new equipment, no new cabling. that would have slowed down my 10 gbps deployment.

10x1gb != 1x10gb. Your LACP bond still limits a single stream to a single link. Even with multiple streams, you would have to have a lot in order of them to hash out to all the links.

Testing kids does little to measure how much a kid learns nor does it measure how good a teacher is. Heavy testing leads to students only being taught whats on the test, which is a huge disservice to the student. Measuring a teachers performance by how well your students do only works if all your students are intelligent enough to understand the material.

Xbox Modding Trial Dismissed 179

Posted by Soulskill on Friday December 03, 2010 @01:28AM from the game-over dept.

It seems the harsh words from District Court Judge Philip Gutierrez on Wednesday had their intended effect; prosecutors in Matthew Crippen's Xbox modding case have now dismissed the indictment. Quoting Wired: "Witness No. 1, Tony Rosario, was an undercover agent with the Entertainment Software Association. He told jurors Wednesday that he paid Crippen $60 in 2008 to modify an Xbox, and secretly videotaped the operation. Rosario had responded to Crippen’s advertisement on the internet and met Crippen at his Anaheim house. All of that had been laid out in pretrial motions. But during his testimony, Rosario also said Crippen inserted a pirated video game into the console to verify that the hack worked. That was a new detail that helped the government meet an obligation imposed by the judge that very morning, when Gutierrez ruled that the government had to prove Crippen knew he was breaking the law by modding Xboxes. But nowhere in Rosario’s reports or sworn declarations was it mentioned that Crippen put a pirated game into the console. ... [Prosecutor Allen Chiu] conceded he never forwarded that information to the defense."
