I have had sever successful hack repairs.
A weak kettle switch strengthened by construction glue and hanger wire drilled through the plastic.
A washable force air filter frame reinforced by a glued on plastic sheet.
The $80 car antenna that broke off in an unfortunately time garage door close also fixed with glue and museum putty(just for stability till the glue dried).
I am a maker, breaker and a fixer. Keep it out of the trash.
Fifty Eight and reading and retaining more IT tech news than the Students in the classes I teach. I am 1/3 programmer and 2/3 sysadmin, overlay by manager and trainer. It the variety that has kept me going. After 3 to 7 years I want to toss out the things I working on and move on. Always planing for the next cycle. Studying up for a couple of Cert by the end of the year because I am getting that itchy feeling.
Charging per volume of traffic would eliminate the
net neutrality issue.
If I use Netflix on Comcast I would pay Comcast for my use of their network. Comcast would pay
Netflix's ISP for the use of that network (at negotiated rate lower than my rate because of volume). Netflix would pay their ISP For their usage as well.(also priced for volume)
The two end point rates would have to be set so carriers make a profit and the responsibility of traffic is shared between the sender and receiver. (people who get thing for free tend to treat it as worthless).
This model has to be worked out to completion to understand all the implications.
The key thing is if Comcast was getting reasonable revenue from moving Netflix traffic it would not need to throttle other people's traffic to bully consumers to buy on demand TV from Comcast.
As side effect this may reduce usage by people who download stuff just because they can because its free/already paid for. This is related to free things are treated badly concept I mentioned earlier.
