When you feel the life force drained from your body and black out for a few seconds before you regain consciousness and can't actually move, you're just glicthing your musscles uncontrollably and have to wait for a few minutes for the sensation to pass before you can pick yourself up and maybe have a few neurons working to clean up the mess.
There isn't much criticism to be had of layer 4 down, but when they got to layer 5 and 6, they were telecom people sticking their nose in software architecture.
That is true.
But, you have to understand, back when OSI was made, the only thing which could benefit from it was telecom and banking... there were no PCs as we know them today. It's no surprise that OSI caters mostly to telecom software and needs.
And you could always just use the model up until layer 4, it's pretty good up until layer 4, and just do whatever you like after that... if you're developing your own protocol for something that is.
Not everywhere, Yugoslavia is a good example of things being implemented the right way. There is always room for improvement of course, things were far from perfect... and perfect is just such a strong word, the idea is not to be perfect, to always improve it.
Try rutracker.org or rutracker.ru. It may take a few days, up to a week sometimes, but they mostly have the latest releases from dance music. The most active though on rutracker.org is the Psytrance community, so the genres you mentioned might not get the latest stuff posted frequently.
Yeah, that's what I meant by enterprise use, not IIS. And they're still dominant on the audio/video production market. Basically, every aspect that is not just your everyday browsing or small office work.
Still, everything enterprise related or video/audio revolves around them (and Macs of course). That is one of their biggest assets now, as well as the "a perscription OS" spin they're trying to pull on Windows. Also, their subscription services, people that do all sorts of businesses use them a lot.
I have the original source for some of them, but very few, like maybe 1 or 2%.
Doesn't matter, I'm just gonna redownload them in flac, store them on optical media as flac and keep them as HE-AAC on my NAS for local playback. It's the only option that's acceptable in my mind.
I layed 30 CAT5e cables today, all at different locations, 450m of cable total... you really think I'm gonna get out of my sofa for pushups?
