Considering the standard when talking about this stuff is the smaller 'b' and that is approximately the bandwidth used by a single DTV station I would say Mb:s.
I'm pretty sure this is for home/office only at this point so no battery use. Also we still have 600mhz stations which should work for the uplink. I mean they are starting to use the 700mhz spectrum for cell phones - so I don't see why the 600s would be an issue. They could use the lower frequencies for downlink only.
2. You won't know how the best way to invest in things. There is a good chance you won't make a good choice.
Just a thought, in my own experience my first investments, which happened to be just after college, were poor choices. The way I see it is that if you make the poor choices earlier with less money you will be better educated and equipped to make better choices sooner. I don't think there is anything magical that turns on after you're done with college that makes you better at investing money.
Just need to mention that the Concorde used a tremendous amount of energy/fuel to travel the same distance. Although more expensive to construct the maglev is more efficient than current bullet trains as well as lighter. Maglev trains travel faster, accelerate faster, and climb steeper grades than conventinal bullet trains without using any more energy. I think this gives the technology a much better chance than the Concorde ever had.
Ummm. The US Census doesn't measure how many people are in a city during the day. They report that there are 8 million people living in NYC.

Exactly, short of this being more compact than a bicycle and that you don't have to work up the sweat it essentially carries the same function as a bicycle. But if there is a lot of money put into this and lots of lobbyists maybe they can convince US governments to put in infrastructure that is really needed (read bike/segway lanes). This would be great for bicyclists and people who would like to use segways.
I see the biggest initial markets as Germany and the Netherlands where the infrastructure already exists and the incomes are in line to spend that kind of money. Naturally Asia is a huge market once the price comes down.
What are those technical details? I know they sell TV sets with dual tuners for Picture in Picture that only need one cable hookup. For those of us who hook the cable right into the back of the TV(no cable box) why wouldn't this be an easy thing to? (with additional hardware of coures)

Just checking - we all do realize those were robots at the end and not aliens. The concept of our own creations outliving us seems pretty cool to me. When the Earth gets back to a good climate for humans it seems they would be able to clone us and humanity can survive its own extinction. While the ending was drawn out the ideas are worth it.
The ISS orbits around 300 miles high - considerably lower than the 22,500 geosynchronus satellites orbit at. Meaning - ping times between New York and Cleveland are slower.
But- there is no reason you can't test this using servers in the same room.
Just to make sure everyone is clear.. The pairs can be in any order - electrons don't care what pair they go down. However, each pair(one color one white on 1+2,3+6,4+5,7+8), or at least the two that are used for ethernet, needs to be together, otherwise you will lose the shielding created by twisting the wires around each other which electrons do care about. Now - in a house with relatively short cabling runs and in many situations you may not notice a difference if you split a pair but then again - you may. And they are twisted at different lengths so it is probably an even better idea to make sure the right pairs line up to get the maximum amount of shielding but I don't think this is as important.
Please read our beloved second amendment: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I'm curious - all you second ammendment supporters out there. Has the supreme court made any rulings on its interpretation of this ammendment? I'd be interesting in reading a little about them.
Granted, it is probably easier to write a driver for the Cisco 605 DSL modem but as far as I know there still isn't a driver for it for anything but Windows. If you get this internal modem as part of your DSL startup kit you have to order something like a 675 to use it with any other system.(the 675 is much better anyway - it has an operating system, NAT, DHCP, while the 605 only works with one computer.)
This is very old news. NASA has been working on a duplicate service module since the beginning of the program and have always been worried about Russia's ability to deliver. This has always been a part of their contingency plan. They wouldn't be able to have a service module if they hadn't been planning on this.
Russian participation is primarily to learn from the Russian's experience and keep the scientists working.(many have said in the interest they don't go work for other countries the US doesn't like very much)
Russia has always been a junior partner because they don't have any money to pay for anything. They aren't however a junior partner in the first four crews to go up to the station. The first four missions are already named and include 6 astronauts and 6 cosmonauts.
Problems with the service module are not because they are dedicating resources to MIR. Before this MIR stuff came out they were already a year behind schedule. Future participation may be troubled. But so what. So my point is NASA didn't get smart - they've always been smart. They're just figuring out if they need to follow through with thier contingency plan.
Actually - why is this so bad. Obviously governments don't want to pay enormous sums of money to continue serious space exploration. If commercial operations can come up with new technologies in their attempts to make Space travel profitable perhaps this will translate to cheaper costs for govrnment organizations to do real exploration. If this guy could actually make it work or even develop a few new technologies in the process I think its great. Its advancement of space research without more taxpayer dollars being spent. It also keeps Russian scientists employed.

Since, as the article says, this venture capitalist is paying for a mission to boost the Mir to a higher, more stable orbit this is not going to happen anymore. But, as the article says, the Russians were planning on allowing the orbit to deteriorate naturally and steer it into the ocean before this venture capitalist contacted them.
It amazes me the number of people who are completely opposed to CBS actions. Personally I think it is cool that this can be done. Now local advertisers can get a billboard at a game many states away.- or a US sponsor for example can pay only for the US market at an international sporting event. I know for certain this would interest advertisers for Nebraska games played away from home.
I do not see how televising a live event such as the ball dropping in NYC and putting the CBS logo over the NBC logo is illegal or ethically incorrect. I do see how this is so if we saw logos on the christmas tree behind Boris Yeltsin with his resignation speech or on the plane for the hijacking or if these logos in any way modify the "news." A new years celebration is not news - its an event. Rather is correct, however in saying it would have probably been a good idea to tell the viewers they were doing this.
I feel compelled to make one other comment with regard slippery slope. To the best of my knowledge slippery slope has long been considered faulty logic and reasoning by the academic community. It is not to be used in what would be considered a "sound" argument in a logic class. I was disturbed by the comments of Jim Naureckas in the article itself. Apparently he thinks that this could lead to them putting sponsor's "t-shirts on crime victims." He forgets that CBS still wants advertiser's dollars and if it got out that they did some of this the bad publicity would cost them much more in advertising revenue than they could possibly gain by selling this to an advertiser. I also doubt a single advertiser would go along with the idea.
Because CBS used this technology to change an advertisement does not mean they are going to use it to distort the news. The truth is if they ever did it would be such an obvious distortion another news agency would pick up on it and it would take years for CBS to clean up its reputation. Only the enquirer goes to such extremes as doctoring photos. The press is simply biased - they rarely tell a lie but they slant there story. If it is a slippery slope theres a brick wall waiting for CBS at the end of it and they know it (this is why we have competing news agencies instead of one state-run agency).
