  1. Re:The price is right, but... on What to Do With a $99 Wall Wart Linux Server · · Score: 2, Interesting

    quite likely for either Marvell or third parties to build slightly more expensive and substantially more functional versions of the device.

    Bingo. This product is simply their entry into the market. It IS quite likely that it will eventually be $40, but there will still be a $99 ******Plug, uncoincidentally containing a couple of the upgraded features dev's will want to utilize.

    I would mod you up but you deserve a trophy for that insight!

    Well done sir.

    The best thing about learning ASL is that most of the students are female.

    No, they are only saying that. They are actually old, overweight bald men who use the internet to live out their fantasies.

  4. Not in Japan on Japan To Get 1Gbps Home Fiber Connections · · Score: 5, Informative

    I thought the service providers were already complaining about individual users clogging up "the pipes". Giving a bigger bandwidth to end users is just asking for more backend network congestion.

    Far from it, actually. Japan is the world leader in internet infrastructure.

    See the recent study that quantified this into a "bandwidth quality score" for 42 countries. Japan's score was basically double everyone else. USA scored 16th, UK 24th.

    And their population is only a little less than half of the United States, but being spread out over an area 25 times smaller is really what makes adoption a bit easier for them.

    We started creating art and maybe even religion.

    What?! It wasn't the other way around??
