So in a sense it was wildly commercially successful. Just nobody wanted to pay for the spectrum as much as they did. Economies of scale probably means that it didn't cost that much more to buy from Sprint than a WISP. Most of the WISPs I've seen are able to price gouge well enough that most people use LTE anyway.
FTFY. You can't call on WiMAX. It was just mobile data. Just because most people used it with phones doesn't mean there weren't USB modems that could be connected to a wireless router - or even wireless routers with radios built-in.
What would you expect a last-mile infrastructure on WiMAX to look like? I know a few laptops had it built-in, but that doesn't make nearly as much sense as having an outdoor antenna at home feeding your modem/router and having a local wifi network.
If I was going to pick a crazy conspiracy, I'd say that North Korea was testing a nuclear bomb high in the atmosphere. The gamma rays from the blast created an outward flowing aurora when it hit the magnetosphere.
If a schizophrenic wants to post an entire novel of word salad for sale, Amazon is more than happy to give them what they want and take a cut of what little money is there. How can you tell the difference?
completely overlooking the fact that voting for a third person with no chance in a race is not an effective way to bring about anything.
Tell that to the Federalists and the Whigs.
If Hillary and Trump are on the ballot, I foresee Sanders getting a 15-20% third-party vote (I don't see him dropping out after not getting a democratic nomination). No win. But after 4 years of Trump, people will get really desperate. Is Sanders better? That's not the really as important of a question to ask at this point. At least one of the current two parties are on their way out.
It's cheaper than the fines and payouts for data breaches. As long as you give lip service to checking the right checkboxes, you can get liability insurance coverage to cover all that subpar work. They don't care about it actually being good. Just good enough to not get arrested or lose money.
This happens to be an eggcorn that isn't grammatically incorrect and gives roughly the same information. You can't fault someone for not using your preferred idiom if they convey all the intended information.
I am working on implementing something similar. Not an URL shortener, but semi-private shared data with a short URL. My first thought was the risk of someone trying to attack and steal all the records via brute force. Then I decided to track invalid requests and present a CAPTCHA after 3 failed requests from the same IP.
Isn't this easy to solve? Even with a distributed attack, each IP would only get a few hits and it's a large search space. And even if CAPTCHAS are broken, there can be more aggressive measures to follow if invalid requests still come in - including slowing down loading times on flagged IP addresses.
They got their container adopted as an ISO standard, albeit with a different filename (mp4). I wouldn't say it's dead. It's just so widely supported that the Quicktime Player itself isn't usually needed.

Can the e-ink Kindles even display arbitrary fonts? It might be a rule that they only allow books that can be displayed on every supported device.

Instead, it was used as a mobile data network.

we ALREADY have fiber everywhere and it's just sitting there dark.
NONE of that is last-mile. None of it. The reason it's sitting dark is that we don't need more capacity there.

my guess is a curved lens/window getting hit by sunlight at a certain angle.
JJ Abrams already ruined Star Trek with too much lens flare. Now he's going after real space.
Lots of Slashdotters are virgins and get rejected every day.

That's as much of an app as Venmo. Either gives you the option of using the web site instead.
You think they are exactly average intelligence compared to the general population?

Oh, and in case you weren't joking at all, it's The Powers That Be.
Oh no, not meteorologists, metrologists. Study of measures. Human flesh is measured in kilograms.
I don't know what you're asking.
Gotta generate those thumbnails.
Would The Guardian even have anything like that to pay them?
Since when did Slashdot generate revenue from CTR?
If the phone is in the lap you aren't going to see it unless you're looking down over their shoulder or sitting beside them.
Simply not true at all.
People are used to pooping, too. They still leave the theater to do it.

Sometimes anonymous first post is the best post. One atom is a ridiculous claim.

converting a recent .mov to an .mp4 is as simple as specifying ffmpeg with 'copy' for vcodec and acodec,
You could just rename .mov to .mp4. Quicktime's container was adopted relatively unchanged for MPEG-4. It should be close enough to let it open.
