In a paper for CAIDA, the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis, researchers present evidence that the supposed decline in P2P traffic is actually due to a decline in easy-to-track protocols as those that change port numbers on a regular basis become more popular." |

Frustrating (Oct 29 2004 23:58 GMT) - You know, one of the most frustrating things about this election for me is that, because of the electoral college, the vote I'm going to cast for George W Bush next Tuesday isn't actually going to have an impact on the election. I live in California. The county I live in is going to vote overwhelmingly for Bush. Just in my neighborhood there are something like twenty Bush signs to every one Kerry sign. There are Bush bumper stickers everywhere. |

No "very special episodes" on the way (Oct 29 2004 23:56 GMT) - "What makes Arrested Development so refreshing is that, just as the show relies upon negative stereotypes (the Jewish American Princess, the crooked businessman, the unscrupulous lawyer) for offhand character development, the writers use those stereotypes to deflate the pompous reverence that often surrounds Jewish characters on television, from Alex Rieger on Taxi to the Rabbi Hyman Krustofski of The Simpsons. Judaism has often been depicted as a redeeming force, elevating those who have returned to the fold to the position of sage or scholar. The Bluths do not suffer this fate." |
