It's not only China :). There's VPNs (like AmneziaWG) by Evil Russians who masqurade as Wireguard client. Some other people who develop Wireguard clients support Amnezia's mutant version of wireguard. Surely they are bought by KGB to do so!

If it's not critical or I immedeatly think I can replace it (even if service itself thinks they are unique): 1 days(and for it doesn't matter if it's happen on USA Independence Day or Chinese New Year), to get at least some response on what's going on. 1 week to fully solve issue. if it's critical...start with above but will scout net for replacements, if where are REALLY no replacements...will try to make as much public uproar as possible to make issue fixed last 2 real issues with paid-for services: - first one - 3 tickets, about a week, end result - replacement for necessary functionality found for same price. account disabled on old service - 2nd one, in 2 days from time I was actually aware of issue:e-mail about my usage trigger error in their code. they are investingating and be back soon. (this look plausible for me given service nature and my data's nature). as apology for issue they give some free time on same billing plan I was on.

Rly? why not using one-way(or even 2-way) satellite link?(yes, fair use policy and caps...)

well, may be they supply it. in my case situation is like that: 50mbit/s up/down according to speedtest.net to city ix, but only about 10 mbit/s to european test points I'm paying for 50.I'm from Russia(if anyone interested, no cap, price is about 35USD/month). Real speed is highly depended on that I'm doing - sometimes I'm getting 50 mbit(especially on torrents), most of time - not.

'Some time ago' FSF released program which had exactly this issue: - it should force it's _output_ to be GPLed(becouse parts of bison source code were copied in output) program in question is bison parser generator well, FSF added special exception to bison's licenses just for this case http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#CanIUseGPLToolsForNF And Apple this time did something directly opposite.

Yesterday I have to install sun-jdk on ubuntu worked without problems - sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk and I run update manager right after that - and jdk is still here and no, openjdk is not an option. at least until Google updates Android build scripts (it's even worse on Mac OS X - Android is basically unbuildable on Lion)

I mostly work using freelancing websites. Ones I use..support webcam but not require it. And - if I want to add time for 'I was thinking how to this'/'I was walking outside to test that GPS app' - this can be entered in system too. It's just more easy for 'employer' in this case to dispute this time. And...on current project(there I constantly getting 'your are doing GREAT work' ...I don't use those tools at all. I just file a bill for time. And got paid).

basic functions of robots.txt works for _all_ search engines... if some webmaster doesn't knew that for example Yandex or Baidu IS search engine(just serving different market) - they could always only allow google to index after all. and crawlers who ignore robots.txt...well they are not public search engines anyway.

just use YaCy -:) www.yacy.de Open-source P2P search engine... now it's results are semi-reliable at least

may be cheap atom box + ASG(Astaro Security Gateway,www.astaro.com(forums at astaro.org)) with free Home Edition license Potential Issues: - it probable will use more power than regular router after all - max 50 IPs behind it(but it's for home after all) - if want to you use ASG's extended funcionality(web filtering, advanced IPS(snort-based),etc) you will need to choose CPU carefully - you will have root password from ASG(it's really very specilized Linux) but it is assumed that you will use web-based control tools I use old athlon machine with 1.5 Gb RAM and some old hdd(and 3 network cards) as my ASG router

And if you THOUGHT you playing a game from middle of NY, killed Russian/Chinese submarine and after that got yourself killed by Russian/Chinese missile(becouse too such 'players' are near you,enough to spare one missile) - will you friends and family be calling that Russian/Chinese killing 'innocent civilians'(you and you friends-operators)? -:)

I correctly undestood that if this goes in effect and be applied non-discrimanatory in USA if somebody smuggle sniper rifle into USA and used on MPAA executives(and repeat that until either caught or out of ammo or MPAA is out of top management),after police asks to surrender - this somebody surrender and confess) she will punished less severly than just uploading before official release?
