Verizon provides connectivity to the Internet as a whole to end users as a paid service (They're an ISP). The connectivity their users need is to servers that are hosted on Cogent's network. The easiest way from point A to point B is to build a bridge directly (i.e. peering). The Internet (at Verizon's end) can route around this limited bandwidth by bouncing all over the country through other routes, but that's not really the best way to do it.
Except Verizon actually owns the parking lot at the buffet - so to even get in, the customers have to pay for parking in the first place. Verizon is still not providing what their own customers are paying them for.
tl;dr - they don't have enough bandwidth any time of day, but thanks to the high priority given to young connections you can start watching very quickly before it quits.
If Verizon cared about its customers it would make sure it had the best possible access to content, instead they built the cheapest network access they could get without investing in their infrastructure.
Video is a poor example. You can't have a half faded-out character. But if you treat the two documents as buckets and take differences from alternating buckets, you end up with a text that has only half the errors of one and half the errors of the other (on average). 50% is probably not a high enough confidence level to identify the original copy/copies. Or, you could throw in a halfway intelligent algorithm to analyze the differences and figure out the "correct" choice and increase your odds of going undetected. The same would apply to video too. A white dot would not match the surrounding pixels and would be selected against by a well-designed algorithm comparing the two versions.
Maybe those are meaningless changes in an academic text. But if I were an author of fiction, I'd self-publish rather than have the carefully chosen cadence of my words altered.
They could give the algorithm free range over their entire database of images and see if it flags the ones that are already flagged. But I agree, I don't see how you could be sure the extra ones it flagged or didn't flag are correct without viewing the images.
they start off with something decent (Windows 95, Xbox [original]), make it better (XP, 360), and then shoot themselves in the ass (ME/Vista/8, Xbox One
Launch titles never really show off a machine. Or at least it's happened that way a lot in the past. Just look at the difference between Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3.
The fact is, we don't need a new console. But the big 3 have all realized they can force obsolescence by just refusing to publish any more titles for the old console. Even the original Wii would still have some life left in it. Nintendo only makes one standard Mario platform game per console, so to get New Super Mario Bros. U, you have to buy the new machine. Terrible policy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but since this is all on 5GHz how does this even affect you? Outdoor 5GHz implementations won't make it through exterior walls, and indoor 5GHz routers won't even reach outside to interfere.

Not quite. The new Mac Pro still lets you use Bootcamp to install Windows or you can do a direct EFI install of Windows Vista/7/8 without Bootcamp. You just have to copy the files on the DVD to a GPT partitioned USB drive and the Mac will natively boot the installer.
This is unfortunately the correct answer. They've proven time and again that if you don't want their experience for you that they'd rather you just go somewhere else. They want to "own" it and don't even realize that they're trying to own it.

Unless they want to pay him for use of the idea/trademark and they're more willing to make a deal if they still get something out of the deal.

Cogent and Verizon are pieces of the cloud. The rain won't flow if they aren't connected with big enough pipes.

The article probably has a curled quote. Copying and pasting will not modify the characters.
Or to put it simply, there's no error correction bits and scratches are common.

Which means we really should be throwing our plastics in the ocean instead of a landfill? I guess recycling would suffice.

That's a rather long-form way of saying Embrace, Extend, Extinguish
Sure, the "extinguish" portion was never meant to extinguish themselves, but that's still how it mostly happens.
Do you hear that wooshing sound?

And Taylor Swift was sent to a school for the deaf...
Sounds pretty reliable to me.
Are article comments in write-only mode again? I can't seriously be the first one here.

This puts more of the burden on yourself - the reason we have computers is to automate the mundane and tedious.
Does it convert the images to embedded images or keep them linked externally? Theoretically wouldn't be too hard to add as a feature.

Whose device again? Money changed hands.
If your server is linux-based, you can run netatalk on it. Works fairly nicely for me at home.
Yes - they completely disabled the other monitor - rendering a plain grey textured pattern on it.
