^^ Nine times out of 10, I post portraits in B&W and everything else in colour. Why? I just like people pix in B&W. Reminds me of when I used to been a keen amateur photographer back in the days when you had glass negatives. heh

And there are secret messages in Beatles records.

Cheers!

Hey – That’s a color photograph. Not a black and white, as it seems are virtually all photos ever posted on this site. (Though lately more and more color pictures slipping in.)

Rumor has it that like playing Beatles records backwards, there are secret coded messages hidden within.

Short the stock!!! Note that this is not an actual recommendation, just probably a good idea.

We have been following the net neutrality debate very closely and from what I have researched, Comcast or Bell seem to be the major culprits for the misuse of technology whether it was supplied by Sandvine, Cisco, Cartiza or some other vendor. Traffic shaping technology applied properly will ehance everyone’s use of the internet. As we move forward the need for network bandwidth management and monitoring is a real one given that the amount bandwidth is finite. The changes in technology and increased services available over the internet in the coming years will be very exciting but will occur at a much faster rate than network hardware can evolve to handle. Whether it is wireless services (G3 & G4 enhanced services) or wired, without some kind of management it will be like trying to move an orange through a straw making the internet a very frustrating experience. Especially if you rely on it for doing business like I do. From what I have read and understand ISP’s do not wish to censor any information, they are trying to manage it’s flow. Much like the role of a traffic officer, to help maintain an orderly flow of vehicles on a highway. They are not there to determine what size, engine, type or colour of vehicle you drive but to help make sure that you can navigate the highway reliably and safely. The internet is becoming more and more an integral tool in our lives everyday, which will require some sort of fostering to grow with the needs of its users. I do not know if Sandvine has the right solutions but in my opinion something will be needed. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

^^ “Whatever happened with that?”

Dave Fewer over at the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) had a word with Sandvine’s legal guy, but I haven’t heard anything of late.

Cheers!

Didn’t Sandvine legally threaten you already for using their logo in parody?
Whatever happened with that?

As Nelson Muntz (the schoolyard bully
from the Simpsons) would say:

HA HA!!!
