Is this comparing what subscribers are purchasing or what is available in a given area?
Not in the US, but in Canada. I have an 8Mbps connection.
I could an extra $20 a month for a 25Mbps connection, but I just can't really justify it.
The ISP has a lite package that is 256/256kpbs and another that is 1024/256kpbs, which for many users may adequate. Why pay for something you don't need?
My Nokia alerts me even when Off - all of them did, since my first in '98. It obviously keeps a dedicated alarm system that triggers the booting of the main chip.
What, you need to keep your cellphone on to alert you?
I don't know TBH. I've never tried. I don't really use my phone as an alarm anyway. That being said, the battery on my phone is sufficient such that I don't generally turn it off anyway. Maybe I'm unusual in that regard, but something tells me I'm not.
"not hard". Well maybe not for your blog with 2 users per week. But for facebooks loadsize it's not a matter of signing up with digicert and enabling SSL.
Facebook's issue isn't buying & installing a certificate, it's that they have so much web traffic that the CPU load of encrypting all that traffic (or buying dedicated encryption acceleration hardware) is significant.
He needs to do more than get a certificate and add it to his server. He also has to buy more hardware to deal with the extra load that this will add.
Windows monitors keystrokes and passes them to the appropriate application.
And, it isn't just a web browser he is prohibited from using. He can't use any computer that contains a web browser as per:
>> [J.J.] shall not use a computer that contains any encryption, hacking, cracking, scanning, keystroke monitoring, security testing, steganography, Trojan or virus software.
If he went back to DOS he might be able to have a system without any encryption. Maybe older versions of Windows would fit the bill. But then again, I believe the BIOS itself monitors keystrokes so you're kinda out of luck.
I used to work at a grocery store and for extremely large orders or where customers might need assistance we did carry outs. It wasn't the norm though, and I rarely got tipped (like maybe it happened once or twice in a year).
Do alarm companies usually come out to your house in the event of an alarm? Or do they just dispatch the alert to emergency services?
Many people here are commenting that the concern of alarm companies is having to upgrade their equipment.
That may be, but my first instinct was actually something different. As you switch to fiber the natural progression would seem to be to move towards an IP based system. Once you get to an IP based system, where to next? From there, is it really that important that the monitoring company have a local presence?
At would point do you end up with the next big Google product being called 'Google Security' with home mounted cameras and an intelligent AI based system that makes a smart determination as to whether or not the threat is real or a false alarm and makes the appropriate calls. All this delivered for free because it is ad supported (obviously there are huge privacy implications, but if *I* were running a security system monitoring company, that is what *I* would be afraid of).
With the rise of smart phones, 3g and streaming mobile data, self monitoring your home is not the difficult task it perhaps once was.
Their are mentally challenged individuals who have such absurd notions that schools should be run like businesses and that teachers should be paid by performance.
The fact is that that is bullshit. We have absolute proof that the price of the home in which students live is the greatest determinant of success in schools. Schools that draw from rich areas have great students whereas schools that draw from poor areas tend to have very poorly performing students.
Are you suggesting that within this school they separated the two classes based upon where they lived?
Seems like poor science to me. There is a bias in the data as schools in less affluent parts of town with less funding generally have less involved parents and less teaching resources. Teachers are stretched thinner and given fewer resources and in, the end, probably seem less effective. On the other side of the token, in more affluent areas parents are involved in their child's educational experience, tutor and work with their kids after school, provide some levels of financial support to the school and generally demand smaller class sizes and "special treatment" for their future President of the World. Seems like an unfair comparison to me.
Perhaps it would make sense to compare teachers on a school by school level since the resources and affluence would be fairly consistent, but not the entire district.

I guess I assumed the GGGP was being sarcastic. I didn't think he actually suspected that the cards were digital remanufactured. I thought he was highlighting how ridiculous it was that they wouldn't honour the warranty because he hadn't earlier registered the cards.
Notice that GP said 'which all failed within their "claimed" warranty period'. I think his issue is that the vendor refused to honour the warranty because he did not register his cards when he bought them.
If the GP had the original receipts (which I assume he did) then I would suggest it is the company's responsibility to fix his cards (or replace or whatever).
I don't know if it is worth repeating or not. But, the police did not charge him based on his online confession. The police investigated based on his online confession. The investigation led the police to canvass the neighbourhood for witnesses.
I'm with you... I don't like to be bothered. Apparently not everybody is like me though. I've been told that the sign of a good salesperson is the ability to read people and figure out whether they just want to be left alone or whether they are waiting for you to come and help them. I don't really mind being asked if I want help, but if I say I'm just looking or if I say I'm okay, then back off and wait until I come and ask.
Also, if I ask a question about something, I *don't* want the salesperson to just pick up the box and read off of it. I am capable of reading myself. I don't mind a salesperson looking at the box for reference and then explaining, but the salesperson should know *something* about what they are selling.

Yeah because I doubt anybody would have rainbow table entries for your crappy passwords.

I haven't tried it myself, but I presumed that to be the case.
Hmmm... okay... it just seems odd that Microsoft would provide a link to download the Windows XP version if it didn't work.
I wonder what happens then when you click on 'Download Now' and select Windows XP. Does it install but just not work? Seems odd.
The actual patent references Westmeister, who is referred to at buypowershelf.com, the company behind the product at Amazon.

Searching for Westmeister in the patent database brings up the Gunderman patent.
The Wi-Fi in the title is misleading. They are reusing the frequencies that broadcast television used to use.

No, rather that it's a problem that all cell phones have because of the nature of the technology.

They you might actually learn something in the process. And that's no fun.

Our teachers do crazier things than that.

Heh... Sorry about that. I forgot to add the [/sarcasm] tag.
community in general has a pretty impressive capacity for complaining, there is more than enough to go around. ;)
The same could be said for Americans. Or Europeans. Or Canadians. Or Democrats. Or Republicans.
Hint: Not everybody in the free software community thinks the same way or likes the same things.
We don't NEED no steenking rock stars.

I think you missed the point.

Can that be a code?
How about something like 4 8 15 16 23 42?
I don't know if it is worth repeating or not. But, the police did not charge him based on his online confession. The police investigated based on his online confession. The investigation led the police to canvass the neighbourhood for witnesses.
According to http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/845967--speeding-boast-online-costs-19-year-old-his-licence , "police canvassed the neighbourhood and found a person who had witnessed the speeding incident and was willing to give a statement. Soon after, they found Rigenco."
Based on this, I don't see anything wrong with the police charging him.
