New Zealand was not Kung Fu fighting. As was foretold in prophecy.

The simple answer is yes.
It's possible to encode or tunnel anything over any protocol.

The next question is why isn't it done more?

  1. http has basically become the defacto internet protocol for all media content. This has resulted in a lot of other protocols from becoming blocked due lack of support or due to firewall rules.
  2. efficiency. http (and all the other protocols it runs atop) have become highly optimized for doing what it does. To layer something like http over another protocol, would certainly be possible but it would likely be slower, less responsive and lack a lot of the niceties that make http work as well as it does.

For the above reasons it's actually more common to see other protocols run on top of http. This is especially common to prevent blocking and censorship by making the traffic look like normal http traffic when it may actually be private messaging apps, file transfers, VPN, etc.

I'd like to hear him deliver a detailed analysis of how sky rocketing food prices has no bearing on Loblaws record setting corporate profits.

I was about to say that 787s have electronically dimming windows, not the "slider blinds", so it couldn't possibly be a 787.
But also what you said.

That would be a highly specific casual conversation!

It can be both...

Do you end up on a no-fly list from doing something like this?
Because it was a flight from Richmond to Toronto. The person likely lives in one of those two places and was released in Winnipeg. Are they now faced with the only option of bus/train/car to get home?
Then, similarly, have to do that again to get back to Winnipeg for their court date?

I hope they can't fly, because that would be some sweet consequences.

The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q6Fzbgs_Lg

Aaron created RSS, and was an early developer of Reddit. A visionary of accessible information and information technology.

Since his death, the direction the internet has gone has been in ways that he would very much be taking issue with.

You're not wrong, that is a thing. Source: me, a man with nipple piercings.

It's more obvious with solid colours and less obvious with a pattern.
The thicker or stiffer the fabric, the less the fabric will contour.

Seems like something you just have to own.
