    .. the tracking feature in your current cell phone? The nature of "Cells" enables device tracking.. Thats how it works.. Cells monitor and could record differential signal strength and plot your movements easily. Even with the tracking feature "disabled" I; for one welcome ....

  20. Channel bonding on 10Gb Ethernet Alliance is Formed · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sigh, Aggregating 2 or more 1 GIG adapters does not give you 2 GIG of throughput. It is a sliding scale; the more you add the less total bandwidth you see. The safest bonding scheme uses LACP; Link Aggregation Control Protocol. This protocol communicates member state and load balancing request to the link member. 10G over copper will be a good thing for VM's. Sad; that the current crop of 10G over copper adapters do not approach 5 gig throughput; raw. Give the industry time; this it just like the introduction of 1 GIG from fast Ethernet. It took 2 generations of ASICs to get to what we consider a GIG card today.

    Riiiiihgt..

  22. Re:Software on these drives? RANT!! on HP Admits Selling Infected Flash-Floppy Drives · · Score: 1

    Possibly; the big 3 do deliver support tools on customer facing media. I would gander the following guess: This is what you funk-tards get for outsourcing; keep it in house OR keep the Quality control persons on YOUR payroll. That way you can fire them when things run afoul. (Soapbox mode OFF)

  25. Re: Two? No, one. on Will Mars be a One-way Trip? · · Score: 1

    "No, not if technology is advances enough to have Niven-style autodocs." It would be possible if we were at that point where we had Autodocs that the state of the art would be good enough for a return trip; but I see your point. We probably have enough remote diagnostic sensing capability when matched with a team of doctors Houston-side that a device designed to automatically dispense medicine while the user was sleeping could be placed in ships manifest. It might be light and simple enough to replace a tradition medical case. Staying healthy will be a challenge. Limited contact might not bode well for a single human many mile removed for society. I do enjoy me solitary trips to the Big Bend of Texas; but I cannot imagine doing it "permanently" At least the desert animals would keep me company. Fat chance of sharing a meal with a Fox on Mars..
