And yet, AT&T wants more money because they think they have the right to charge Netflix more to pass through their tollbooth.
- it's not their 'tollbooth', it's their road. On a road you can charge different rates for different types of vehicles, this is the same situation. An eighteen wheeler can cause more damage to the road that requires more maintenance than a motorcycle, this is the same thing: a movie that needs to be streamed a million times takes up much more capacity and energy and basically uses the system much more than millions of small individual requests do.
See, I even used an appropriate car analogy.
Different tpyes of traffic cause different types of damage? WTF are you talking about? Explain to me how 3mb/s of video streaming is different than 3mb/s of P2P or 3mb/s of any other type of traffic.
People don't pay for types of traffic, they pay of bandwidth and expect to get it.
It didn't standardize on "sender pays". Where do people keep getting this FUD? 1gb down and 0.1gb up? Pay for 1gb/s. 1gb up and 0.1gb down? Pay for 1gb/s. 1gb up and 1gb down? Pay for 1gb/s. It doesn't matter. At least this is how most whole-sale transit and IX connection costs go.
Except AMD's "TDP" is what you should see in the real world and Intel's "TDP" is worst case and should almost never see. Almost every comaprison that I have seen of AMD's CPUs from the past 3 years have all consumed about 2x the power for the same amount of work, no matter the performance.
On idle vs load, AMD is running about 25watts per hour more idle and about 60watts per hour more under load. Assuming 22 hours per day idle and 2 hours full load, that's about an extra 244 KWHs per year extra for AMD. For a cool climate, that's fine, but if you have to AC any of that, now you've at least doubled your power, so about 500KWH more, or about $50/year assuming $0.10/KWH, all in the attempt to save $50 on your computer cost. In the end, Intel pays itself back in 1-2 years, not to mention faster in most cases, many times nearly 100% faster.
The problem is that it takes wisdom to know what one doesn't know. And most people don't have that wisdom. They over-estimate their skills in everything (driving being a big one).
So much truth. The single hardest thing to learning is knowing that you don't know something. I fall victim to this, but I've been getting a lot better with time, but many people I meet don't even recognize this concept at all. Most people I've met seem to think that they can solve anything the best way using what they already know, instead of realizing that what they know doesn't quite fit the issue correctly, then properly identifying what they don't know and how to research that knowledge.
Kind of like a person who grows up only seeing house cats, then sees a tiger and assumes they must be just as tame because a tiger is a "cat". They have a hole in their knowledge and they don't realize it. Working with SQL a lot, I like to say that people don't handle "null" properly and you get undefined behavior.
All of my homework starting in 1st grade had to be turned in written in cursive. How does a 1st grader not know how to read now days? We learned reading prior to writing and we learned non-cursive prior to cursive. If you "graduate" from kindergarten and can't read and write, you were done a disservice.
Memory bandwidth is only an issue if you need to go out to memory. Because they share the same cache, when the CPU requests data, the GPU gets to make use of the cached data. They've already done benchmarks, the APU doesn't benefit from more bandwidth almost at all. Going from the stock 1866hmz to 2000mhz, gives under 1% performance gain and going to 2166mhz does virtually nothing. That with a memory heavy benchmark.
In the long haul market, the one who moves the data the least distance pays. If one side moves the data 100 miles and the other only has to move it 10 miles, the one the moves it 10 miles pays, unless they can get symmetrical data usage. It doesn't matter which way the data is flowing, the one that moves the least distance pays.
It's not just "paying for a port". According to Level 3, these ISPs are trying to charge more for peering than Level 3 charges for transit. Level 3 will charge less for dedicated bandwidth from LA to London than Comcast will charge to go down the street.
According to wiki, a CME is just a bunch of "Solar energetic particles", which is just a bunch of ions. The ions hit the atmosphere and create an electrical charge difference that tries to get to ground. That's about it in a nutshell. Of course you get a mix of magnetic interactions, but that's because the electric force and magnetic force are the same thing.
If you don't agree, then tell us how it works or give a link that explains it, because I've spent quite a bit of time after class talking to my teachers and they saw no issues with my general understanding.
Having one would still show to the end user that the fingerprint has changed. There is already a feature to warn you when the fingerprint of a site has changed, even if the CA still shows it's "secure".
Last time we wanted to get to the moon, we got microwaves, cellphones, and computers. I wonder what new tech we'll get this time. Look it up, NASA seeded the initial research into a lot of tech that we use today, and that tech was not considered a good ROI to the private market, yet the entire private market today runs entirely on that tech.
Why should we care about your kids going to college when people in Africa are starving? If you stop everything to wait until something is finished, they'll never get anything done. 80/20 rule for life!
I assume this is a bad attempt at trolling, but we don't need to bring water to Earth, we want water as fuel for space ships and if that fuels is easier to get from the Moon, then it'll lower costs.
Step1) Launch ship into space
Step2) Refuel from the Moon
Step3) To infinity and beyond!
Mantle is just an API, it's up to the manufacturer to implement that API. Nothing stopping NVidia. Mantle is not just meant to be good for graphics, but it's also highly geared to use the GPU as a co-cpu, especially for low latency back-and-forth communications. It will obviously benefit AMD's APUs the most because they really need a low latency task passing API to make use of the hardware, but it still highly benefits discreet GPUs.
CMEs are quite different. CME does it's damage through ions that create an electrical charge difference, but EMPs create an electromagnetic pulse, which has nothing to do with ions. CME ions are just trying to get to ground. Just shunt it. Yes, it's a lot of amperes, but it can be done.
All of the data coming into my house is over fiber. Doesn't even need to be grounded because no wires enter my house. Verizon FiOS does have wire that enters the house, so it needs to be grounded.
My understanding, which could be wrong or incomplete, is that the ions would cause a tremendous surge of DC current to be conducted into our power-lines, causing transformers to be melted. This can simply be shunted, but we need to invest a few hundred mil to protect from a few tril of damage. No one wants to be the guy that spent more money, so no one invests into this simple and quite effective protection.
Like the title says, an AA or AS is essentially just the first 2 years of a 4 year program.
That has not been my experience when researching which secondary school to go to. My experience when researching curriculum is that Associate degrees focus almost entirely on using the most popular tools and cookie-cutter ways to solve common problems with those tools, while 4 year Universities have a mix of theory, analysis, and application; not just application.
We had an issue in my Uni where students with an AS in Information Systems were flooding in from 2 year schools, had credits in SQL, but had no understanding of set theory or how to even write an SQL statement, but they knew how to wizard their way through Access or Excel. Not just one school either, but a common issue from nearly ever 2 year school.
That's ridiculous. If we wanted to cause as much damage to the criminals as possible, why not simply reinstate torture?
That's basically what she seems to want.
(no we shouldn't do that)

'I had wondered whether the best way to achieve revenge in cases like that was to prolong death as long as possible. Some crimes are so bad they require a really long period of punishment, and a lot of people seem to get out of that punishment by dying. And so I thought, why not make prison sentences for particularly odious criminals worse by extending their lives?'
Justice is not about punishment. Justice is about correcting someone or protecting others from them, but it is not about punishment.
Compared to the hardware, the software is free. When I worked for IT at a University, they didn't seem to care about paying another $400 for software to put on a $8,000 Apple computer that you could have built for $2,000.
Around here, you must use an accredited homeschool curriculum from any vendor you choose. But that does require you have at least have the teaching material to answer the questions and you must submit some amount of information to the curriculum provider in order for them to validate that you've "passed" your grade. It is less than $1,000 per year if you don't purchase the book second hard, but public school only costed the $15 for my gym shorts and shirt.
Not sending your child to a proper school or using an accredited homeschooling program will land you some hefty fines and potentially lose your children.
What about people like me that find Associate degree work boring and unchallenging, so I can't concentrate without taking a lot of drugs? I do better in classes that involve theory and critical thinking, not learning to use tools. Not to say an Associate degree won't include classes that aren't like that, but I haven't seen any. Most, in my experience, seem geared around teaching trade skills, not theory.
Most intelligent(strong critical thinking for nay subject), in my anecdotal experience, tend to not "adhere to spec". I would argue, that based on my own experience, people well above normal intellect tend to need non-standards based education. I've met quite a few people who are good at what they do almost entirely from what they have been taught and their experience, but the smartest people that I've met tend to handle talking about any subject and can tell when they have a hole in their knowledge, and know how to ask good questions to fill that hole. These kind of people do not do so well in school, many of them score worse than average, even though they are well above average in talent and ability.

100gb/s of non-blocking full speed uncongested peering costs about $5k/month. Are you trying to argue that $0.05/mbit is expensive?
