There is no such thing as a "kph". You don't get the metric system. A k is 1000. A "kph" would mean "1000 per hour", which doesn't look like a velocity to me.
Accept it, what you meant is "km/h". That's the way it has been written for as long as velocities of that order of magnitude have been practical.
The original teapot argument is not about a teapot god, it's about the reasonability of believing the unprovable (a teapot orbiting Venus). The teapot of the thought experiment doesn't have god superpowers.
For the unprovability, make it a teapot on wheels hiding from us on the hidden side of Venus.
There's nothing magical about WiMax. Other frequency ranges, other protocols, that's about it.
The only interesting thing about it is that it's not operated by traditional telcos.
But remember, what traditional telcos sell is not telecom, they're SELLING UBIQUITOUS telecom.
An untraditional telco would have to sell at a nonzero price ubiquitous. If they sell at zero price (or truly flat rate), a smartass will monopolize all access and resell it at real market price (what people are truly willing to pay). If the service is only sporadically available, no one will want to pay for it, or they would be better off setting up a fix line connection at the only place it works. If they comply to the two conditions, they are definitely traditional telcos.
In the long run, WiMax is bad for the consumer. As I explained above, the business model behind WiMax can only be the "traditional telco model". But now we have two technologies with incompatible end user hardware, incompatible operator hardware. Nokia and Alcatel Lucent will sell less copies of their products to operators, thus the price will rise. Nokia and Alcatel Lucent will ask for higher fees from the opco, guess who will pay the bill. Nokia and Motorola will sell less copies of their products to end users, guess who will pay for the relatively higher cost.
Furthermore, with WiMax vs 3G, there are now not one, but two markets for mobile data and voice. Barrier to jump from one to the other market is nonzero for the consumers. Each of the individual markets is also smaller, hence less competitive.
Suppose two perverted your 10-ish kids film themselves while having sex,
* and put the videos on the net while still underage. What will they get ? The viewers are probably guilty as the kids are below age of consent.
* and put the videos on the net after their majority. What will they get ? Here the situation for the viewers is less obvious, as the "kids" are above age of consent.
Good, now everyone including terrorists can build bombs, safety concerns about jumbo impacts are no longer valid arguments against civil nuclear powerplants.
So there's this girl at the grocery store. The cashier sees the items passing: one apple, one banana, one precooked meal, one piece of meat, a very small tin of carrots... - You're single, right ? - How did you guess ? - Because you're ugly.
They're not wasting $. Their verbal battles are increasing the Democratic mindshare. In the mid term, a debate between two views of how your country can be run leaves more marks in the mind of Joe Sixpack than non debating landsliding McCain who in hindsight was the only republican worth remembering.
I'm not an American. Using the radio and TV media, I have some basic clues what Obama vs Clinton stands for. I have no clue about the republican platform. This is probably because there was NO fight at republican side. I'm confident US Joe Sixpacks have no more clues than me. Therefore by default, they will not vote for McCain, they will vote against Bush.
Your theory would work well with uncompressed material. I have seen a documentary about restoration of old film material that did just what you describe (intelligent analysis over multiple frames). It gave stunning results, the picture was arguably better than it originally was.
However, MPEG 2 material is compressed, using just the same (intelligent analysis over multiple frames) in the opposite direction to remove redundant information.
In other words, when you have two uncompressed frames, you may find details in frame 1 that will fit well into frame 2', and details in frame 2 that will fit well into frame 1'. Frame 1' and 2' WILL look better than frame 1 and 2 rep.
For MPEG material, the compression algoritm did the opposite: "oh, no need to encode this region in frame 2, frame 1 already has enough information". So while trying to enhance, there IS no more info to pick from frame 2 to put into frame 1': the data was deliberately thrown out.

How do they store KINETIC energy ? Is there a flywheel involved ?

Who the fuck in his right mind would use Google for his company emails ?
I still consider them yuppies with too much pocket money.
What ? You mean a Turing complete language can be compiled to another one and still run on a Turing machine ? Oh noes, my world view collapses!
Imaginaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation
when I read the title I thought it was about a slasher movie

from the title, I thought this was about a pervert's exhibitionism spree

oops, couldn't make the link work, compare US vs Qatar.
Americans are tree hugging hippies
A dying market ? Are you kidding me ? Settlers of Catan, Puerto Rico, Machiavelli don't ring a bell ?
I didn't know Aeroflot built aircraft.
Simple question from someone in a modern country. What's "balancing checkbooks" ?
F.I.L.M. at 11. The news is already there. It's the tape/film that needs to shipped. The news is there in real time by phone or telex.

Now GWB's writers can focus on writing McCain's lines.
