Kiwipedia made it sound like 802.11n didn't really work. There was too much interferance from all the other 2.4Ghz devices. 802.11n over copper was replacing wireless 802.11n in most applications. It was the same modulation but over wire to increase bandwidth. When corporations talk about supporting draft 802.11n, they tend to refer to copper and not wireless.
One thing about BitTorrent is it's one of the most hyped concepts that doesn't look like it's working except to the most educated user. Unless you're an expert in networking and file sharing, you're going to see a scrambled file downloading at 0.2kb/sec and give up.
The most educated people aren't the ones who are into HD. They live in Europe and prefer low definition in higher quantity. The least educated people are the ones who are into HD. They are in Uneducated Shipwreck and prefer high definition in lower quantity. They don't have a clue how BitTorrent works, they hate anything not involving hierarchy, and they're just going to give up and go back to shoveling cash at Comcast.
The one model which is going to work for the Uneducated Shipwreck is the single server download model, no matter how slow and uneconomical it is.
Obviously there's a lot of opposition to this weapon. The problem is currently they're not allowed to use weapons of any kind. Given the unanimous opposition to granting marines weapons of any kind, let's try another alternative.
What if Al Queaeada was given a new weapon and the new weapon caused u.s. to pull out of Iraq. Would you support it then?
They do a good job of reformatting answers.com and howstuffworks.com. It shows how reformatting other text from answers.com and howstuffworks.com is now more valuable than writing original text.
What goes in Canadia and Europe isn't the same everywhere else. It's well known that Canadians and Europeans prefer a high number of low definition channels to a small number of high definition channels and once again they're expecting the entire world to agree with them. The economic viability of HDTV depends on the culture. If foreign customers prefer HD and you only make small, blurry movies, you're not going to sell to foreign customers, no matter how many studies in your own country find a preference to SD. As much as Canadia & Europe hate it, some countries are going to prefer HD.
And it'll keep threatening TV for another 100 years. Problem is, it never quite wins. In Europe where TV is still mainly low definition, the blurry 320x240 quality of internet video probably has an edge. In UKnowWhere where all prime time is HD, there's still a big difference. They've also been saying internet video would catch up to TV quality someday. It's still blurry 320x240.
What makes it a home of the future? It used to be that the home of the future didn't involve the gadgets but the way it's built. Homes of the future used to be made of plastic, garbage cans, heat trapping foam, composite polymer windows. They were made robotically using polymer spray guns. By using advanced construction they were going to end homelessness and reduce energy consumption.
Now the BBC has declared a collection of gadgets that's bigger than the collection of gadgets you already have as a "home of the future". It could be a bunch of gadgets in an apartment, a bunch of gadgets in a car, a bunch of gadgets in a pocket, but since a large government has taxed for it and created a huge program for it, it's now called a "home of the future".
In Europe where managers and companies are like blood vessels and muscles, they can get away with it. In other so called countries, where the managers are hired years after the founding and strict hierarchy is worshipped, the managers can't be close to the technology.
There has never been a time when 2 corporate entities, Google and Apple, have been as beloved and cherished by the public as we have today. It's a true sign of unprecidented respect for a corporation when users obey the corporation's every request without as much as a wimper. If it was Microsoft, the kids would be screaming and it would be on every blog. Google is so beloved, they could tell kids to shoot themselves and they'd do it.
As the decades pass, new students pick up fusion, and old students give up on it, it's starting to feel like the way nature achieves fusion is the only way it can be done. The only way to get energy from fusion is to have a blob of gas so massive it's gravity compresses the hot gas enough to fuse it.
This Philo Farnsworth device has been in the news for over 50 years. It seems to get renewed every 4 years, as new students discover it and old students give up on it. No-one has been able to go any farther with it.
Download Orbiter. Track down and download the Aries 1 simulation. It can't reach orbit using the SRB and the J2 stages. It needs to burn the service module engine for a long time. The service module is part of the 50,000 - 60,000 lb payload that supposedly can be put into orbit by the first 2 stages but really requires the first 2 stages + part of the payload. Their payload target of course has a 20% margin of error.
Suspect this moon program is going to turn into entitlement programs and basic science like all the others. So far, no more methane engine. Reduced CEV size. No more space station airlock. Now an additional $1 billion diverted to servicing Hubble.
It's interesting that because slashdot tends to stay in a single age group, most of today's slashdot readers weren't alive when the first trilogy came out. The lightsaber swinging, cape wearing, watergate babies that grew up watching Starwars are now really old, carrying around babies, wearing suits to the office, and couldn't care less.
With all the engineering in India, that Intel museum must be the only thing left in the Montegue Expy building. Has anyone actually gone to the Intel museum? Sitting on Montegue Expy for 30 minutes to get to Intel sounds like work.
Considering you can get the blue lasers out of HD-DVD players for 1/2 the price, this is an incredibly inefficient way to make laser pointers unless the idea is to leach off the Blu-ray brand.
Like everything else, if these guys ever get it together and actually launch something, it's going to be in Calif*. Calif* is where the customers are, where the investors are, where every single business venture ends up. It doesn't matter how over crowded or expensive it is. Some kind of biological programming requires every investment to be crammed into one state.
The Broadcom press release yesterday seemed to doom Pioneer/Sony because their player is based on Sigma and porting the millions of lines of code to Broadcom for dual format would take years. In reality, most of the work is in software. The SoC's are format agnostic. It would be easier to dual boot BP06 and a port of HD06 on the Sigma than port BP06 to Broadcom for the dual format support.
Given the complexity of the specs, don't be suprised to see a partnership between Pioneer and Toshiba to share code bases and don't be suprised if the box requires a reboot to switch formats.
You're right. People making over $124,000 are going to get the most tax hikes. And you'll be paying for it with a lower salary. You think your bosses just eat the cost when their taxes go up and keep giving you raises?

Maybe you can explain to the uninitiated, non-CEO-suckups outside U Know Where why it's such a disaster for a CEO to resign.

Seem to recall when Bruce Willis went to an asteroid, he broke a drill bit and it was a serious problem.
It's called a "tainted kernel" when a binary-only driver is loaded in the GPL kernel and it's perfectly legal.

Too bad consumption increases 10% every year. The Prius owers of Silicon Valley have one problem: it takes oil to make new cars.

Both Broadcom and Sigma SoC's run Linux 2.6 MIPS, but you will not be getting the driver source code.
