    If I have fiber going to my doorstep, I want to be able to use 100% of that bandwidth. In your analogy, electricity is the gas of computers.I pay for the electricity myself.

    That would be bad ass. They are going to have to ditch their proprietary system over the next 10 years or so anyways.

  6. Re:Lawyer? on Comcast Disables VCR Scheduling In New Guide · · Score: 1

    Most of my experience is with airports, where I pretty much always get searched. I don't live particularly close to Mexico, so I doubt I'm going to get that experience any time soon.

  12. Re:Given two programmers on Math Skills For Programmers — Necessary Or Not? · · Score: 1

    Depends if you want a technical lead or an engineer. A good engineer needs the math. A good lead needs the math AND the people skills. The lead needs to be able to understand what his engineers are telling him in order to dumb it down for the business people.

  14. Re:YOU ARE EXACTLY CORRECT, SIR on Math Skills For Programmers — Necessary Or Not? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Insight is the most sought after skill in life, and Mathematics is no exception. I remember taking math classes in college where the teacher would be explaining a proof, and then would make an almost epic leap of faith to the next step. The step would work, but I would have no inclination as to why you would do that. I always made a point of asking if that leap was intuition, in the hopes that I could identify where greatness occurs.

  15. Did MS Ever Fix the IE Bugs? on Germany Warns Against Using Firefox · · Score: 1

    That's my real question. FF was fixed in a month. Was IE fixed and how long did it take?

  23. Re:Send up some miners on NASA Estimates 600 Million Metric Tons of Water Ice At Moon's North Pole · · Score: 1

    Most likely it will make more sense to make the moon a waypoint for other mining operations. Lower gravity and atmosphere provides several advantages with things like telescopes. It would also provide a good relay point for either manned missions to or from earth, as I'd guess the lower gravity would be easier to become accustomed to after prolonged exposure to weightlessness or artificial gravity.

  24. Re:Send up some miners on NASA Estimates 600 Million Metric Tons of Water Ice At Moon's North Pole · · Score: 1

    That said there is no atmosphere to break up or burn out anything that's going to hit the moon. That's why it's a big mess of craters.

  25. Somewhat Makes Sense from a Diving Perspective on Scientists Discover Booze That Won't Give You a Hangover · · Score: 3, Informative

    Recently I became a licensed Scuba diver. One thing you learn in scuba diving classes is that you are more likely to get nitrogen poisoning if you are dehydrated, or had been drinking substantially the night before. Typically the way you do a first response treatment of nitrogen poisoning is by supplying pure oxygen.

    I'm sure there's a Q.E.D. in there but I'm pretty sure I'm missing some steps.
