Anyone figure out how fast the "debris" is moving from the center? To see this kind of a change, on this scale, in such a short time, it must be mind-blowing fast!
We marvel that the runtime environment of the web browser can do things that we had working 25 years ago on the Mac
I don't remember that code running cross platform on varying architectures. The web as an platform for distribution should not be compared to an actual OS...that doesn't even make sense.
Agreed...It'll be nice when they finally realize this. I do not have cable or satellite subscription at home, but I do want to watch these shows before they are out for purchase. Give me a digital download for a few dollars, or even put them out on sale when they air. I'm fine paying a reasonable price for content.
I'm waiting for some phone company to offer end-to-end encryption for a fee (maybe they already have?). Of course I'm sure, since they have full access to your phone, that private key will end up "backed-up" for your convenience to their servers.
I backup my truecrypt container to dropbox. Works great, I'd be fine with a service using dropbox for data storage, but encrypting everything to and from should be some kind of API requirement.
Complex, meh, I've got hours orbiting Kerbals successfully....lets just not talk about the staggering number of dead ones.....pretty amazing when you think about what we're doing up there...and folks wonder why maintaining ISS is so pricey, just think about how many people it takes to edge ISS around something.

The point isn't is it distracting, of course it is. There should be a law against eating in the car if we are trying to eliminate all distractions.
But would this type of device be less distracting than your dashboard display? Or how about trying to dial your "hands free" device?
I don't know of any data on HUD's vs standard console. I know that my Harley speedometer which is basically on my fuel tank takes waaay more time to focus on than my Victory speedometer which is more on top of the handle bars. A HUD like Glass would be awesome on a bike. My handlebar mounted GPS is very hard to focus on if I have to, I rely on the voice/earpiece commands for turn by turn when on a long trip, but I still have to look at it sometimes.
I feel like this kind of use in a car would lower accidents, would folks possible be watching a tv show while driving down the road? Yes, but would it be better to be in a HUD? or an iPad in the center console? Where is the data to show that a HUD based phone, GPS, etc is truly the dangerous option?
Once again creating a law for a perceived problem with no data to show it is required. I would think this system would be better, you could Bluetooth your cars info onto the display and it would be less distracting than looking down at the speedometer constantly. Also, this is a good way to kill a cool product like this:

I also thought something like this would be really awesome once you got used to it. Ever since I read 'Have Spacesuit Will Travel' when I was a kid, I have been waiting for someone to develop 360 degree wearable vision. I have always wondered how long it would take for you to start seeing in 360 degrees. I'd imagine if you were blind, this suit could be awesome.
Have you looked at some of your friends profiles as a guest? I'd estimate that 80%+ of my friends on FB have the bulk of their posts public, no need to raid.
I have Hughesnet and had Wildblue before that. The cost for the amount of bandwidth is ridiculous compared with other wired options. We get 400MB / day for $80 / month, relisitically we can do ~300 kb/s down, but if you add multiple downloads the total available it drops like a rock, probably related to bandwidth overhead.
Hughesnet allows you to have a "rollover" pool double your bandwidth allotment. So most days we do start with 800MB available. But when windows pushes an update with the 7 machines in the house we do normally run over. If you spend ~60 mins watching YouTube you are out of bandwidth (that is only 10 mins per person in the house!). I have to start downloading a Steam game, watch the bandwidth, and pause it when it is getting low, then start it again the next day. It is an enormous pain in the butt.
Bottom line, anyone who says Satellite is "almost" as good as cable or DSL has never tried to live with it on a daily basis. It is waaaay better than dialup though.
Also as a note, Wildblue has a 30 day rolling total, and Hughesnet is daily, we switched because if you went over with Wildblue you were stuck for 30 days until your bandwidth speed limit was removed. We tried offering them money to remove it but they said we were stuck. Hughesnet on the other hand is daily, so if you go over, it resets 24hrs later, and you can pay about $2-$3 to restore your bandwidth, or use when of the free restore tokens they give you every month.
What in the world is this crap? I think anyone here who doesn't know:
A. What a VPS is.
B. How to configure a VPS (a.k.a SERVER ).
Does know how to use Google. WTH editors.
I'm surprised areas like this don't have satellite coverage. I live in the middle of nowhere in New York and my satellite connection pops out in Colorado. We have a backup generator and all so when folks 15 miles away have no internet (they can all get cable/DSL) or power we don't even notice. I would think that if there was satellites in line of sight someone should hook themselves up to this and pop out in Italy or something. As long as you can generate power there is no problem staying online. I'm sure of course this comes down to economics.
Watch your add-ons, I have 7 or 8 I use daily, a few of which have some serious memory leaks (over time anyway). I got in the habit of closing FF when I get up from the desk for the night, and just have it auto restore my tabs when it starts in the morning. Even then on a 16 hour coding marathon I still have some memory problems. But with all add-ons disabled this doesn't seem to happen these days.
I really hope this is a joke, because the thing is you probably won't die early, instead you'll be propped up by whatever health care system you're under at a ridiculous cost to everyone else. I can also pretty much guarantee you won't want to eat that triple bacon burger with extra cheese after dialysis or chemotherapy because the diet you describe increases your chance of all these problems dramatically. After working with obese folks for years now I can tell you that the last 10 or so years of their lives are not only not enjoyable, they are down right miserable, and expensive as well.
I didn't read TFA but I wonder if this study consider the quality of those calories, e.g. in America we try and diet by eating one cheeseburger instead of two, of course we could have eaten 5 apples instead, been full and satisfied, and gotten some nutrition as well.
Simply put. yes. We have had no data loss in 12+ years. Proper training, practices, and audits make data loss pretty much impossible. Unless Texas and New York were both wiped out at the same time...
The point here is, no matter what the service, until we get either less data or unlimited bandwidth, transferring backups nightly over the net is not an option. I was just saying this is essentially an offsite server that is probably going to be more expensive, likening it to tape is really a misnomer. I can already see the suits hearing about this and trying to get rid of tape backups because Amazon does this and they won't have to tell Joe IT guy to go get them. Than I have to start explain why the interpipes will start to leak...I do agree there is a market for this service. Heck, if the cost per GB was cheap enough I'd back-up my own music / movie library to it and ditch the mirroring...
If transferring the gigabytes of data nightly over the internet was feasible, we'd be using rsync to an offsite server for a fraction of the cost. Bandwidth / sync time is the issue here, not whether or not its on tape or not. Why would I use Amazon if I can just run rsync to my remote server for (probably) a much lower cost. We use tape because there is not enough time to run these backups over the web. Maybe as some kind of secondary backup solution so Joe doesn't have to go get the tapes, but it probably wouldn't be a nightly solution. At least not for us.
I was wondering how the editors even let the other one through as valid news...I think most of us here are pretty aware of PARC and how the gov really was responsible for the foundation of the internet...that said it did very quickly since evolve beyond that.
