I keep thinking about the whole "phorm" mess with advertising (at least their trials with Charter). where they say that they will protect your privacy for their targeted ads, but if you look at the fine print, any and all data they have on you will be turned over for a subpoena. Then they have the "opt out cookie" that will prevent you from seeing ads, however, they still gather that data, you just don't see the ads. And that data could still be handed over with a subpoena.
Could 4MB be the actual speed of the internet portion of the network? I have a 100MB connection to my ISP, but only have a 5Mb/s internet speed at the office. They advertise it as 5MB of internet access. The cable modem is capable of many hundreds of Mb/s, but you only usually get 5 or 10Mb or so.. They have some set aside for actual TV channels..
And MicroUSB gets the joy of having to double check the orientation of the plug, every time you plug the darn thing in. It does not "slide right in" as nicely as the standard or Mini USB. My old phone had one, and it was a pain in the rear. My new phone has a MiniUSB, and I can plug it in in the dark.
I disagree. Amazon should have waited to see if the law actually passed. Pulling out of a state because of a bill that is in debate is premature, and playing politics. They should have informed their affiliates of what would happen "IF" it passed, and heavily encouraged them to voice their opinions. Instead, they have pissed off the very people they need.
Can't agree more... How is "capping" emissions, and "trading" the rights to them any different than having OPEC "Capping" the production of oil, and having markets setup to "Trade" in barrels of oil? I have yet to find a single republican that hates this bill explain to me how this is really any different, except that this is the US government, instead of a bunch of governments in countries that are hostile to us!
I would be against nasa inventing a new rocket just because they wanted to switch to metric, which would be like what you described.. However, they are already making a new rocket. In your analogy, that's like saying you have to write a brand new program from scratch in Cobol, because the system it is replacing (and might share some use with during the staged deployment) uses it.
The whole point is that the CO2 would be used twice. IE, instead of releasing 1 ton of CO2 into the air to power your house for a day (yes, I'm making numbers up) your releasing 1 ton of CO2 into the air to power your house for a day, and drive your car for a day. The CO2 is like a fertilizer for some algae, they grow much faster in its presence. I believe MIT had some projects with Algae based bio diesel being produced in the smokestacks of their boilers, to see if it was feasible...
No, but I have seen them stand up for a group of Nazi's, to help them be able to march in a demonstration that a local government (wasn't it a small town in IL) tried to prevent... They have a long standing history of working with people they don't like.. you know the whole "I disagree with what your saying, but I'll help you build a soapbox to say it from" kind of philosophy..
Because sadly, if you want the rules to apply when YOU need them to, then you need them to also apply when "THEY" get the shaft from them.
but too help you out, here is their EXACT philosophy on the second amendment.. From their own website . Note the key sentance: "We do not, however, take a position on gun control itself. "
I know your upset, but seriously, people have been BEGGING for a simple, official MSI Installer since Version 1.0 of firefox, since many organizations use them to deploy in Active Directory. You can go get ones repackaged now from Frontmotion, but not "official". In IE, I can set literally hundreds of options in Active Directory that will be forced on all clients. This GPO support is another feature that companies have been begging for "official" support for since the start of firefox. 3rd party hacks that rely on vbscripts to tweak files and the registry (the last solution I found a few years ago) don't really cut it in an enterprise.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am no IE Lover, I replaced IE on a few hundred computers at my last job. (and after people through a fit that I hid the blue E, I made a new blue E icon that just launched Firefox, since they couldn't get to the "internet") But Manageability is not one of Firefox's strengths. Every new version that came out, I had to wait a few days for someone to repackage an MSI for it. Every new version required me testing that our hacked together GPO scripts would still work. It was a pain in the ass, but was less then the pain of IE. However, an "enterprise version" would go a long ways towards pushing its adoption at companies.
Children don't do that anymore.. Their parents are too terrified they will be kidnapped. Sadly, I'm not joking.. its pretty damn sad. Check out www.Freerangekids.org for one lady fighting back against the "think of the children" fear.
Its a money saver for them. Why have a Cable TV infrastructure, and an IP Infrastructure. Think how much bandwidth they could offer if they used the entire coax connection for network. With IPv6, you make each tv channel a separate Multicast broadcast address in your network, and then the end users just subscribes to a multicast, then unsubscribes when they change channels.
There is alot more to IPv6 then just its IP Address space. there is lots of improvements to security, configuration, and multicasting. Also, the way it is designed will take a HUGE load off the core routers, and actually make them faster... Right now the address space is so fragmented, there are huge tables in them to parse on what subnets are down which paths...
My brother worked for TMobile before it was TMobile. I think he was bluetooth tethering his nokia phone (not a smartphone, just a basic nokia) in something like 2001 or 2002. It was awesome. He got to test new equipment, didn't have to pay the bill.
Its so sad to see that still, all these years later, things they have been doing around the world are still not being implemented in the US.
I'm not sure you can call the MiniDisplay port proprietary when Apple has published the specs for them so that anyone can use them. The cost is cause nobody uses DisplayPort yet. Lenovo has 1 freakin monitor that has a display port plug, and its about $700.
I did, but now I don't have cable anymore. In fact, if ESPN360.com was available for me to subscribe to, I probably would! I love college football, but moved 2000 miles from my favorite team. (GO DUCKS!) No stations around here carry Pac 10 games, only Big 10. I would gladly pay them some money, to be able to watch their games live online! It would still be far cheaper than having cable TV!
In theory, the company has caching servers at your ISP, so that there is not a huge bottleneck. (or a decent multicasting server). However, this is the same crap that ESPN does for cable TV too.. Whether you watch sports or not, by far, the biggest chunk of your cable bill is for ESPN.
But if the costs for the provider go up, they should be able to leverage their large market share into actually lowering the cost per subscriber.
IE, go to your phone company,and buy a 1MB/s connection. Then go to them and buy a 100MB/s connection. You will notice that one is not 100 times more expensive than the other.

I also read a discussion once about how it would involve a TON of work to get the extensions working properly again.
We'll issue you 640k ip's. That should be enough for anybody...

Of course, we've been eavesdropping on microwave transmissions via satellite for decades now.. We could just have the NSA satellites answer back.... ;)

I would love to find an unlimited internet plan with a mobile company that doesn't define Unlimited as being 5GB in the fine print.
However, Sprint only has a 6month exclusive on the PRE, if I remember correctly. I don't believe Verizon is as friendly with Tethering...
I would combine the metrics for IT and OPerations. Service Calls: s Service calls resolved: h (s/h(IT)) + (s/h(op) = beating the slashdot lame filter!
