Comcast is NOT a private sector entity as most would consider. They're a government sponsored monopoly. They receive massive tax breaks, and direct funding from the government to build out infrastructure (tax dollars spent on laying pipe). It's utterly absurd to think that they have anything in common with a truly private entity.
You want to know why comcast is allowed to grow so large, completely and solely control local markets for both TV and Internet delivery? Because the government allows it.
There was some way to have a remote... Say attached to the wall, which would allow you to 'touch' it to have the lights turn on and off, or even possibly dim. One can dream..
Seriously, this entire organization encompasses everything wrong with the Federal government. Massive privacy overreach, complete incompetence, and a literal NIGHTMARE BUREAUCRACY! This is one of the worst aspects of the Bush legacy, and "The One" has not done anything to curtail its power: http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL...
I can't imagine why they wouldn't monitor people with access to secret clearances. I know they polygraph them all the time and regularly perform spot checks for law enforcement violations, etc.
Don't want the government knowing everything about you? Don't request secret clearance from it.
The easiest way to reduce demand is to just tax fuel
Sorry no, there is no easy way to reduce demand of OIL. If you want to truly reduce demand of OIL you need to find a VIABLE alternative fuel, electricity and NG are not VIABLE alternative fuels
It seems this guy could careless about the fracking operation it self. He's more concerned about the huge blight that a massive ugly ass water tower will bring.
There's no reason (other than cost) the well owners can't just truck water in. Honestly I don't blame the guy, I wouldn't want this ugly ass water tower in my back yard either, however a well generating millions of dollars of gas for me to spend on more computers? No problem at all.
I care. I'm actually pretty excited in both the phone (HW) as well as the OS. Personally I really like the idea of being able to ditch Android for another, possibly better software platform which doesn't have all the google hooks.
So, I've always wondered, in cold weather climates where you're already heating your house, in most cases 24/7, how inefficient are incandescent bulbs really? I mean, if you think about it, the wasted energy here is being turned into heat, which is, heating your home, albeit inefficiently -- but really who cares? You're after the light.

Do you have one of the 4th gen laptops already? I thought they didn't ship until Dec 20th. If you do, what's the battery life like with the new processor?
So it's interesting, a light weight ARM processor, without anything better than micro USB and micro HDMI. Neat yes, but really? Useful? Maybe as a wireless router, or some other PoE like device but as a useful processing system? Um...
Even linking many of these together - neat, but again, the world of MPI is based on completely different processor designs and interconnects, you're talking huge amount of time and effort to replicate something on a unique platform which may or may not ever see wide spread acceptance by the developer base.
I question this number as well, even considering decades of tapes, we're still off by factors of 100 or more here. I think what this is called more than anything is sensationalizing, your average layperson probably has never even heard the word Zettabyte. In fact I know this, when describing what I do for a living (HPC storage engineering) to my friends and family I have to constantly explain what a Petabyte is, let along anything larger than that.
I don't want to get into an argument here about which process is better. My point was that the Atom works well, as well as the Xeon line and Core line processors.
Whether or not your favorite brand is something else shouldn't make a difference here. The point being that Intel is making piles of cash on technology they've already developed and put piles of money into. Why kill the golden goose just because cell phones use a slightly lower powered alternative.
The article reads like:
"My server processors suck for cell phones, so I should discontinue those because people use more cell phones than servers"
Really? I mean the Atom line processors are pretty great. The technology is well developed both for hardware and software and Intel basically owns that market. Why would they want to kill it off when they're still making money hand over fist with it?
Right, and when the Fed is buying hundreds of billions of dollars of public bonds with money they're printing from thin air... Who sets those rates again?
When my q6600 was running XP it addressed 3.5GB of memory. As soon as I installed win7 it addressed all 6GB I had in the box.
PAE under FreeBSD and Linux works fine, it's just the amount of userland vs kernelland addressable memory that's the issue. On a PAE kernel you're still stuck with 3.5GB of kernel land addressable memory.

Yeah, nothing sketchy to see here http://af.reuters.com/article/...

Then the average spring yes, but a nitinol spring will do just that, with much more retraction force when heated.
Agreed, such as being in the "It's not google" and "It's not apple" niche, which is very attractive to someone like me.

Am I missing something here? Where's the link to the article referenced by Mr. AC.

Not very sound business logic IMHO.
