A toll booth operator is charging $9.99 per month for unlimited access across the state highway system. No tolls paid at the booth, ever, for a month, regardless of how much you drive. Sweet deal! So, everyone who drives through the state pays $9.99, and everything is great. However, those pesky guys in the *next* state have decided that instead of paying $0.50 per toll to travel through their current state highway network, it's cheaper for them to come to your state and use that unlimited access you have. So, now, you have two states worth of traffic on your highway system, and your booths can't handle it. You're a greedy git and don't want to blow profits on more toll booths, so you instead charge the other state for taking their traffic.
This is what has happened here. Level 3 are now the Netflix carriers, which used to be Akamai. Akamai have the same deal with Comcast that was offered to Level 3 to carry their disproportionately large amounts of data (out of state traffic), because data is very much one way over the Level 3 network (nobody from their state was travelling to the neighbouring state to use their highway system.)
This is not about the content of the network, this is about capacity and symmetry. Barely anything is incoming from Comcast to Level 3: Everything comes from Level 3 into Comcast. Therefore, just as Akamai did, Level 3 need to pay for the data used over Comcast pipes.
I would say both would be very accurate, considering no actual measuring would be taking place. You can extrapolate points of reference:
- A car is approx 3m long 2m wide. A parking space is about same - The lanes between spaces are 2 cars wide, to allow for idiots who can't follow the arrows. - Basic trig can give you any distance in a parking lot.
The same applies to buildings. The average person is 6' tall, with 18" spare to the roof. The floor space is approx 6", making each floor approx 7'. Multiply $floors by 7. For offices, assume false ceilings; 9' per story.
This does go back to your "time spent in the 3D world" though. If we had no point of reference, yes we'd suck. However, we do, so we don't.
It's a mixture of the two. He used two cameras to film the live action scenes, but the output was reduced to stereoscopic 3D on the screen.
This is actual 3D on the screen, like a 3D game. You can't zoom in, or even focus, on the background in Avatar. In fact, attempting it gave me a massive headache. With this true 3D rendering of an object, you can zoom, focus, and more importantly pan around objects in the scene, in real time. That is the breakthrough this hack has brought about.
This makes for real 3D movies. Capture the streams from both sources, combine in real time in the viewer, and you're able to change your PoV and focus independently of any other observer.
This is revolutionary for entertainment. Not stereoscopy.
They don't fail to make the connection with other platforms, they exclude other platforms totally and focus only one one, specifically. When there are other devices, on the mass market, which behave in exactly the same way, yet the article makes no reference to them whatsoever, the article is certainly biased.
FWIW, I'm not an Apple fan. At all. I just don't believe in spreading FUD, no matter the target. This is a feature to maximise screen space when browsing, which can be abused by imitating the URL bar with an image at the top of the page. It happens on at least Android and Apple devices. They should both be mentioned.
It is simulated drowning. Drowning is an horrifically painful experience, and your body has some extremely strong reflexes to try and prevent it.
If you've ever by mistake sucked down a little water while swimming, it's a lot like that. Only your hands are tied down, you're on your back with your nose and mouth exposed, and you're doing it until the guy pouring water on your head is satisfied that you've nothing more to tell him. That's torture.
The stock Android browser hides the address bar, so you need to scroll up slightly to see it. That's all that this attack is relying on. My HTC Desire does it.
This isn't an Apple problem, this article is an Apple-bashing troll. Kill it.
Unless you have a urinary tract infection or an STD, urine is sterile. You can use it, in a real pinch, to clean wounds.
You wash your hands because, unlike your chin or forehead, your genitals are normally covered by several layers of cloth (hopefully) and you sweat quite a lot more there. Moisture + salt + skin flakes = creepy crawly heaven. 24 hours exposure of your face to the elements isn't great, but it's nowhere near as bad as the moist, nutrient-rich, protected environment of your crotch.
Stuff he can be indicted for is already in the mainstream press. He admitted ordering water-boarding of detainees. Water-boarding is inhumane and a form of torture. If the US recognised the authority of the ICC, he'd be in the Hague, not giving Q&A's.
The terrible thing about living forever is it takes so damn long to get there.
Put me in a vat and wake me up every 100 years for 5 years at a time. That's my idea of immortality... Seeing how the world progresses over a millennium.
Then again, I have few emotional ties to this world, so moving on somewhere / somewhen else wouldn't be much of an issue for me. It probably would for someone with relatives / family.
This reminds me of the episode of Frasier where he and Niles are visiting a health spa. They're Gold members, or something, but need to get into the Platinum member area, invite only. So they wile away and scheme and plot, eventually to get in and find there is another door for Diamond level service. I guess that's the Ladies of Questionable Morals and Coca Leaf Extract area.
3m people with access means that this is Gold level material. The real Bad Things(tm) will be waaaaay over in Diamond level. Probably locked in a personal safe behind an old painting, not stored on any government / corporate network.
Hell, push out Fast Breeder reactors and on site reprocessing plants, and you get essentially self-fueling reactors. The best part is these reactors can nuclear waste into fissile material. It's win win, apart from for the oil industry.
Anyway, we're off topic... Government sucks, Wikileaks isn't the antichrist.
Don't forget that Google is heavily responsible for easily directing people to torrents of copyrighted material, the tools to download them, has (hyper)links to terrorist-related websites, bomb plans, poisons, fighting techniques, urban warfare, and articles of hate speech.
They would get on the radio to the local police force, who have an in-terminal presence, and they would introduce you to the ground in a very painful fashion, either involving a billy club or taser. You'd then be cuffed, manhandled to on-premises detention, stripped, searched invasively, charged with possession of an offensive weapon for one thing, possibly because it was in an airport you'd also have some terrorism charges, taken to court, sentenced to jail, lose your job, family, house, come out with a criminal record, turned down for anything higher than burger flipping jobs ad McDonalds, and end up killing yourself or living off welfare.
Or, you could not bring a knife to a god damn airport. How stupid do you need to be to even suggest that?
Both the security guard and their supervisor broke procedure and policy, risking their jobs. Consider that there are more than likely thousands of people queueing up for these jobs (perverts and predators included, I'd wager), I don't see it being a problem replacing those who won't tow the line.
I'd say it's a good experience to meet a decent human being who understands that there's more to security on air travel than making people carry tiny bottles of water and feeling up children. It's not the best, but it's a step in the right direction.

Not necessarily cheat, but... "Achieve, whatever the cost."
Education is about getting letters on a certificate. You can't get a decent job without the letters.
Any means necessary to get those letters. Any.
Only... It's not. Car analogy time!

Rugby pitches. 100m long. Divide or multiply as required. Plus, a healthy background in outdoor pursuits gave me a good eye for horizontal distance.
Plain buildings a la MiniPeace. however, would throw me completely.
True, thanks for the clarification. Ok, you won't get to focus, but you will get to pan. That's awesome with a capital sweet.

Pretty soon, someone's going to patent using a touchpad "... on a computer." and then we're all fucked.
Not really. There are plenty of more dirty words. Crevice is a dirty word.
Leek is a positively disgusting word...

Yes, I do know I've just paraphrased my sig.

Diplomacy is the art of sweet talking the guy facing you while cocking a pistol behind your back.

The first mistake you made was booking a $5k holiday which involved flying somewhere.
