Clever answer, I might quote myself from a previous post. I said that before, and I think more people is just getting conscious.
US has to look forward to keep talent here and spend money on the talent instead of war. Wasting the money on war would leave the country in an absolute idiocracy
I'm not a Mexican, but boy! Why would you think whenever they say "illegal" immigrants they have to be Mexicans? Not all the illegal immigrants "jump over the fence"! So you, first, have to stop relating "illegal" with "Mexican".
I wouldn't believe about fashion nerds, so I guess you're safe and you'll never see a post like "Ugly Betty goes Prada". Still, there are some news that seem to concern several people. If gas and combustion engines (technology) are listed as causing this problem, perhaps is some news for nerds, and not necessarily for political nerds.
In that case all the Apple posts should also go to the trash, cause after all Apple is cool and nerds are not.
Well, you might be as disappointed as me. I wanted to buy an small-form factor XPS with their 30" monitor.
It went this way:
Me: Hi, I want to buy an XPS 210 with the 30" monitor.
Dell: Yes, sure. You just have to add it as an option
Me: Uhm.. there is no option
Dell: Ok, I'll remove the monitor and add it as an accessory
Me: Sounds good to me. Will it work? (I knew already that it won't)
Dell: Sure!
Me: I thought the 30" monitor requires a Dual-Link-DVI support, the video cards that you can pick, don't support it.. or Do they?
Dell: Hold a sec. ...
Time goes by......
Dell: You are right, none of them support the Dual-Link-DVI. But you can add it as an accessory
Me: Great, so I could add it, but then.. Would you charge me for the other card too?
Dell: Uhm.. yeah.
Me: Well... ok, as far as you install it and it works fine, it's ok with me
Dell: Install it?
Me: Well, would you send me then the card? And I have to install it, install the drivers and all? Cause that's exactly what I was trying to avoid. And so, you could support me if I have a problem.
Dell: I'm affraid, we'll send you everything, you install it, and you're on your own ... short pause...
Me: Thanks a lot! Bye
From some reason I stop believing in their advertisement.
I'll wait for the next technology and I'll buy it. I guess that would be the HD-Holographic-blue-ray-crystals or HD-HBRC. They will come out in 2 or 3 years, Although I'm worried they will be fighting against the Holo-Violet-Ray-something.
In any case, they will blame piracy for those marketing mistakes. And that is because all the formats are proprietary and somebody will have to pay more for the use of those patents.
There are still people like me that still found unpleasant reading articles or books from pdf files on your LCD (or anything with light on the back). What they propose is a display that looks like paper. I was recently in a seminar from e-link and I found it really nice.
Try look for the Sony Reader. They are recently going with color screens that look amazing as portraits and the power consumption is really low.
You know, it was a bit sad finding for example Netflix doing this categorization?
Drama (american drama), Comedy (american comedy), horror (american horror), etc... and Foreign.
That should take them lots of points! When you are looking for a good horror movie you expect to find it in the Horror section. You shouldn't have to browse all the foreign movies to see what they have there, read their tag-lines and hope for the best.

The system can update itself while you are driving without you turning off and back on your car. Even better, I hope if the navigation system updates, you don't have to go back home and start over.
In the future news:
Detroit - The first windows based automotive crashed when the driver refused to update the system, filling the windshield with several pop-ups and finally automatically restarting the engine for the commuting driver in the expressway.
Even though, the little Indian problem seemed to be known longer ago, and setting that problem aside. I thought, for real, that a problem would be in terms of width not length.

Precisely, As you say "end" users. In networks, the end user should not be in the "Link Layer".
The reason why, bits per second is a better approach is because that's the smallest data unit to be transmitted.
The Byte is, perhaps, the smallest data unit to be processed, thus, you will be saying that, NOW, that we have 64 bit processors, we should use "64-bit" units?
Communication devices understand binary signals, they can be coded into symbols, that are completely unrelated to "bytes", so there is no reason for talking about "Bytes" in layers like Physical or Link.
In a digital communication system you transmit symbols instead of bits, that is to take advantage of your bandwidth. For example, on your carrier of 2.4GHz you are allowed to use only a band of frequency, and you want to transmit the higher amount of data per second as possible, so you might thing about transmitting sinusoids of 128 different amplitudes (in the physical part) and that could represent 128 different symbols. You are not transmitting binary (only 2 amplitudes) and consequently, you have a more efficient system.
Unluckily, that doesn't always work, and in fact many systems decide to use less than one bit in order to avoid other several problems like ISI (Inter-Symbol interference) which is, in the case of wireless, the effect of reflections against walls, etc.
So many wireless systems use suboptimal (in terms of symbols) to achieve longer distances or reduce interference due to moving objects, etc. That is why a modulation system can be expressed in terms of bits/sec/Hz and it's in some sense a measure of efficiency of the system, however, an interference study has to be performed, and for sure it will be tough getting long distances if there is not a good coding scheme to avoid the ISI.
In conclusion, not everything is attenuation, but also reflections and systems have to be robust to these effects.
As long as you can reduce the public embarrassment of people in these cases. I'll go for it.
Probably the ultimate solution will be, drug or sedate travelers so they are not allowed to do anything while in the plane (flatulence included).

Saving U.S. Science

Agree with Damattser. I think the amount of foreign students in the US is constantly growing, and if another country provides education and high level research, people will also tend to go there.
Mainly, Americans have to be convinced that they can go do research also. The average undergrad student (if they get there) gets a job and runs away from the academy. Many high school students ran because they started making money.
US should motivate students to go for their graduate studies. It amazing the amount of asian (chinese and indian) people currently on technology programs.
So don't be so sure, after all, US had to "import" science to make important advances (Let's name just one... Albert Einstein?).
A think US has been in the lead, but all this budget they have been using for war, might cause a reduction of graduate students and slow down the pace of US Science. US have to start motivating people to stay in graduate programs with good incentives. And US Universities should be involved in that process.
When I first read your post, I thought you could be right. Luckily, I kept reading other responses.
You're being pretty bad at those guys already, it's a brand new idea and nothing should be given for granted.
There is no fair comparison between youtube and zudeo, but you can make it work if you find your target market... after all, who would think this could be a product with any market at all?
