Local file-sharing drastically cuts network load
2008-09-21 18:45:00 Data distribution under traditional, P2P and P4P architecture. (Courtesy of Doug Pasko and Laird Popkin)The 160-mile download diet: Local file-sharing drastically cuts network loadEver since Bram Cohen invented BitTorrent, Web traffic has never been the same. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, however, is a matter of debate.Peer-to-peer networking, or P2P, has become the method of choice for sharing music and videos. While initially used to share pirated material, the system is now used by NBC, BBC and others to deliver legal video content and by Hollywood studios to distribute movies online. Experts estimate that peer-to-peer systems generate 50 to 80 percent of all Internet traffic. Most predict that number will keep going up.Tensions remain, however, between users of bandwidth-hungry peer-to-peer users and struggling Internet service providers.To ease this tension, researchers at the University of Washington and Yale University propose a neighborly approach to file swap...

Cuts are coming
2008-06-24 08:57:00 The Green Bay Packers have recently cut undrafted rookie wide receiver Rod Harper shortly after minicamp practices.In the view of the Packers, Harper probably wasn't cutting it. Add that to the wealth of wide receiver the team already has, and there was dead weight that needed to be cut.But Harper's release brings to light another issue that the Packers are going to have to deal with shortly.NFL rules state that teams may only have 80 players on their roster under contract. The Packers currently have 77 players under contract, but none of their nine draft choices nor Ryan Grant have yet to sign.Now that mincamp has concluded, there is a little more than a month of dead time where teams will start to sign their draft choices. It's the perfect time to get deals done with nothing else going on. Within the next couple of weeks, the draft choices will start signing one by one.With 77 players signed right now, the Packers have room for three more rookies or Grant to sign on the dotted ...

NFB Funding Cuts: And then there was one...
2008-06-10 02:18:00 Despite statements made to the contrary at the time, the $2.5 million that the Conservative government cut from the National Film Board of Canada's budget in March is resulting in more jobs being lost, including in programming. The NFB, Canada's sole publicly-funded film agency, has announced it will be eliminating 22 positions, including two of its three remaining staff directors. Paul Cowan and Beverly Shaffer, two of Canada's most renowned documentary film directors, with a combined 46 NFB films to their names, will now be joining the ranks of Canada's private filmmakers (including other NFB alumni who have seen their jobs disappear during previous rounds of Liberal and Tory backed cuts). The sole director remaining on staff will be Alanis Obomsawin. Bredan Kelly has more in a good article from today's Montreal Gazette.

Mexico?s auto workers agree to further cuts to remain competitive
2008-06-05 01:04:00 Mexico's auto workers agree to further cuts to remain competitive When the North American Free Trade Agreement was inked in 1993, it was thought that it would help bring Mexican wages up to par with those paid to workers in America. However, at least in the auto industry, the exact opposite has been the result. With the auto industry more global than ever, inexpensive labor from developing countries is driving down labor costs at an ever increasing rate. We've seen that here in the U.S. with the newly passed two-tier wage system, and now similar reform is being passed in Mexico. Although Ford's pledge to build the Fiesta in Mexico will create about 4,500 new jobs, it doesn't come without sacrifice to the Mexican workforce. Union workers at Ford's Cuautitlan plant outside of Mexico City currently make about $4.50 an hour, but agreed to a new two-tier wage systems — that will see new hires make about half that — in order to secure Fiesta produc...
Chrysler cuts non-production contractor payments by 5 percent
2008-06-04 20:15:00 Chrysler cuts non-production contractor payments by 5 percent It was revealed today that Chrysler cut its contractor fees by 5 percent for services not related to car production, effective June 1st. The reduction will last for at least one year. About 80 contracts will be affected, for services involving office workers, custodial and information technology services. In a statement, the automaker said the move is "part of Chrysler's ongoing efforts to reduce its cost footprint in a highly competitive marketplace." Chrysler will allow each supplier to decide how they will achieve the savings, according to company spokesperson Kevin Frazier in an Automotive News report. The numbers of affected workers was not revealed. The move allows Chrysler to reduce costs without incurring the type of public outcry a pay cut to unionized assembly workers would generate. Put simply, reducing pay to contractors is a heck of a lot easier than slashing hourly pay to UAW workers.

1700 leading US scientists and economists call for swift and deep cuts
2008-05-29 23:07:00 clipped from www.ucsusa.orgWASHINGTON (May 29, 2008) ? More than 1,700 of the nation's most prominent scientists and economists today released a joint statement calling on policymakers to require immediate, deep reductions in heat-trapping emissions that cause global warming. Issued just days before the Senate begins debate on the Lieberman-Warner climate bill, the statement marks the first time leading U.S. scientists and economists have joined together to make such an appeal."There is a strong consensus that we must do something about reducing the emissions that cause global warming," said James McCarthy, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and one of the statement's authors. "The debate right now is about how much we need to cut. The fact that so many scientists and economists have spoken out and signed this letter should give policymakers the confidence that we can avert serious adverse climate impacts." "We urge U.S. policy makers to put our n...

Indonesia plans drastic emissions cuts by 2025
2008-05-24 01:20:00 Indonesia outlined a plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent by 2025 yesterday, a potentially bold move which could shame wealthier nations into announcing tougher targets of their own. The country, with a population of 235 million people, has one of the largest carbon footprints outside of the developed world. Environment ministers from the Group of Eight leading industrialised countries, as well as from emerging economies such as China and India, begin talks in Kobe, Japan, today to pave the way for a G8 summit in Hokkaido in July. Speaking ahead of today's meeting, the Indonesian Environment Minister, Rachmat Witoelar, said. "I'd like to voice my concerns that if the issue is not carefully managed, it will threaten the existence of humanity in Asia in particular, and the world in general.However, it is still unclear how Indonesia would deliver such radical cuts. Mr Witoelar claimed that the goal could be achieved with reductions in forest burni...
Paste frequent text with short cuts in Notepad++
2008-05-23 10:10:00 I’ve been ranting on and on about how I love Notepad++, and recently I’ve started looking ore and more at, let me share a cool feature I found which lets you create keyboard shortcuts for pasting anything really. This helps my productivity to no end, especially when writing html or css code. I use comments a lot when first creating a design so I know where I am later on too. Creating a comment in html means you have to write the following code <!-- Comment Here -->. This can get a bit tedious, especially at the beginning, when I add a comment below all my div containers, and also at their closing tag. For this reason I created a macro to paste comment tags quickly. In Notepad++, just go to the macro menu and choose start recording. Tye the desired text anywhere on screen, in my example I wrote <!-- -->, and then go to the macro menu again, and click stop recording. You will need to go to the menu again and click “save currently recorded macro”. Y...

Halifax cuts some rates!
2008-05-20 15:00:00 From tomorrow Halifax are reducing their 3 and 5 year Product Transfer fixed rates by 0.1 or 0.2% and their 3 year tracker rate by 0.2%. In addition they are increasing the maximum loan size on the tracker up to 75% LTV from £500,000 to £2m. These Product Transfer rates are only available to existing customers coming to the end of a deal but I think Halifax will have a very large number of borrowers coming to the end of a deal on 31/7/08 because they were offering some extremely competitive fixed rates 2 years ago - 4.69% for purchases and 4.79% for remortgages, both with a fee of only £499, and a market leading 2 year tracker at Bank Rate - 0.11%. This suggests that, unlike some lenders, they are keen to retain as many borrowers as possible.

Cheap-home rush cuts O.C. supply under 6 months.
2008-05-19 09:01:00 Market watcher Steve Thomas at Re/Max Real Estate Services in Aliso Viejo every two weeks calculates “market time,” a benchmark of how many months it theoretically takes to sell all the inventory in the local MLS for-sale listings at the current pace of pending deals being made. By this Thomas logic, it would take 5.82 months for buyers to gobble up all homes listed for sale last Thursday at the current pace of deals vs. 6.08 months two weeks earlier and vs. 8.0 months a year ago. Last Thursday’s “market time” is the lowest in 14 months. A key reason: the latest count deals in escrow of 2,658 is up 166% vs. Jan. 19’s wintertime low. Market time is also shrinking because cheaper houses are in vogue, with market time for homes under a half million down 41% vs. a year ago; and for homes between a half-mil and three-quarters of mil down 38% vs. a year ago. The overall market time is down 27% vs. a year ago. Says Thomas: “it is a matter of ti...
