But still a small fraction of their wired LAN bandwidth. If you often transfer large files or stream HD video within your home network like I do, you can't afford to be generations behind or wired or wireless speed. There are still other maintained older OpenWRT firmwares that can work on these routers, dropping support for these relics in the latest release is no big loss.
Perfectly capable of reaching a one-generation-old bandwidth standard (at best) on both the wireless and wired LAN sides...you can still run the older firmwares on these devices. It's hardly sad news.
It won't be easy to disassemble it and pull the big mirror out of its guts, and then replace the smaller mirror at the focal point with whatever energy collection device you want to use. I'd say you'd need a robot that's as dextrous as a human before attempting this. And then you would have launched that thing to go to the telescope, disassemble the satellite, collect the big mirror and possibly take it to where it's needed, instead of just launching a big mirror...
I thought it was a short form for Wireless Router? I know it's in the names of many routers from many manufacturers, not just the old blue-face Linksys.
That's your problem? Not the way this is all tied into Google and the privacy implications?
I'd tell Eric Schmidt that not all change is good and not all adaptations of society are desirable, but I'm sure he knows that. As seen in his recent comments about drones, he's only anti-privacy until his own privacy is invaded.
May have to settle for this, I really need a modern filesystem that supports deduplication and my experiments with btrfs is early 2012 didn't go so well:
Huh thanks I'll have to try that, that may be the problem and it was the only holdup that kept me from switching. IIRC it added the torrent successfully but then couldn't find the files that were already downloaded.
Nothing remotely unethical was caught in the video. The segments that apparently show the responses to the questions O'Keefe and the woman with him posed while dressed as a pimp & ho, were actually a mix of responses they received in formal wear and joking responses they received from an employee who called the police for them immediately after they left.
I know it's a comedy site but here's an overview of the hoax with good citations at #4:
I keep thinking about James O'Keefe's fake video that led to the shutdown of ACORN. It's amazing how powerful this simple hoax was, it produced the intended result quickly and precisely. No fact-checking was done by anyone until well after the dust settled. Understanding the workings behind this hoax could allow individuals to wield incredible, world-changing power with nothing but common electronic gadgets and free time.
The important elements I've picked out so far are:
1. It confirmed people's fears or prejudices rather than presenting something shocking
2. It used a simple misdirection to present a false context instead of any camera trickery or hoaxed content. This helped make the video more believable.
3. Its path to the mainstream news was well-streamlined: It was media-friendly and fact-checker-unfriendly. It was sensational and people could watch and share it much faster than anyone could have called bullshit on it. Once it went viral on the web it only took one news channel with low standards to air it, and then the other mainstream news channels were practically forced to air it to stay relevant.
How is this different than putting it in the standard, other than the spread of Silverlight (or whatever the popular DRM plugin of the future will be) being accelerated through universal browser support?
I tried to switch to Deluge but it couldn't handle a file with a Japanese character in its name...other than that, only things that I think many torrent clients could use is the ability to accept magnet downloads through a drop folder somehow, and searching & better sorting/filtering options for downloaded torrents.
The alternative would vastly accelerate the spread of DRM, even if it makes it harder for a monopolistic middleman to establish itself between you and the same good ol' boys club of movie studios that all mainstream content comes from.

I won't spend more than 5 digits on anything but a house.
Energy costs will limit just how cheap it can get, and energy costs are rising.
I meant over the wireless. 100Mbps is enough for pretty much any video, although still painful waiting for transferring multi-GB files.

You're still using an old-ass B router? You should be on an N router and considering switching to an AC router.
You'd have trouble finding tires for a Model T too.

The latest one features a bad guy who likes to "cyber attack" Mi6 and is Hackers-grade terrible when it comes to realism in that regard.
It's also full of plot holes unless you assume the bad guy values showmanship over results.
Can you lower the cost and sell games DRM-free to de-incentivize the virtual pirates?

Is that file-level or block-level that caused that performance drop? I'm looking at using file-level with copy-on-write links.
Why haven't you disabled your traction control?

Because there's no relationship between intelligence and wealth.

Because it's probably goatse.

Linux distros, free movies, free games...

And this is why sometimes it's important to say GNU/Linux.
DRM can continue to be implemented fully in shitty DRM client apps. The HTML standard just won't condone or participate in it.
