That's nice. Wikipedia? Really? No primary sources? Damn. And IR/visible light/UV have something to do with EM waves? Did you study radio waves from wikipedia as well?
Please don't confuse transmission media with frequency.
A terahertz doesn't exist, but a TeraHertz is a unit of measurement of an extremely high frequency. Radio waves don' thave to be "channelized" so "channels anywhere" is a misnomer, and even if channels were required (they're not) there are channels on many things that have nothing to do with radio waves (time slots on a SONET circuit comes to mind). Finally there is no 400THz limit to radio waves. Congrats on getting a "3, Informative". You fooled the mods. You got 0 out of 3 right.

"Disingenuous?" No. Honest? Yes. You can take pictures. No, you can't get out of your car on the side of the freeway, set up a tripod, take shots, ask the cops to pose. However, take pictures of something you can see from your car driving by the scene? Yes.
Do you like my opinion? I don't know.
Am I rude or a prick or saying things that the family wouldn't like? Maybe.
Am I disingenous, dishonest, or in any way representing other than my true opinion (wrong or right)... no I'm not.
It's public information. The cops erred in not entering the pictures into the record. The pictures themselves of a public scene are public. I'm sorry it's grisly and I'm glad my family isn't in such pictures... but if it's in plain view of the public... (and it was) it's public.
Second, if you DO have a coked-up daughter with "impulse control loss" you don't leave keys around whether or not you "...have a long driveway." You "impulse-control proof" your house.
Look this isn't personal but clearly the parents didn't "child-proof" their $90,000 Porsche based on their "impulse control less" daughter or whatever their story is. Clearly they didn't prevent her from getting coked up, and clearly they didn't prevent her from going out.
You can spin it any way you like. They didn't do THEIR JOB to protect THEIR DAUGHTER from herself and from causing harm to others. If you want to make it about me disliking privileged kids you're way offbase. I dislike privileged parents who don't live up to the responsibilities that come with those privileges. Rich or poor, many kids or one, $90K Porsche or $1,500 pickup truck -- that girl had issues and her parents failed her.
Take note in the article as to what are facts and what are allegations. The parents "claim" the "she might be impulsive because she got treated ten years ago"(para). No doctor says that.
The reality of it is she was an out of control 18-year old girl using cocaine and taking a vehicle she wasn't able to drive safely.
Did she use cocaine? yes.
Did she have easy access to the Porsche and keys? yes.
Was she in any way punished or grounded or restricted for use of drugs and stuff? No.
Who is to blame: the parents
Why should we blame the parents: The function of parents is to protect their children. These parents didn't protect her from drugs; they didn't protect her from thinking she had no rules. Clearly they used their privilege of wealth to let her do what she wanted... and so she did.
They should sue themselves.
E
P.S. Lest anything I say be construed as some sort of gladness... let me be clear... I'm not "happy" this young lady is dead, nor do I take any special "joy" from pointing a finger at the responsible parties... the adults... the parents... I'm just joining in the discussion to say they have nobody to sue but themselves. If I could wish that girl alive I would.
"Think of it as evolution in action" -- Niven and Pournelle
It was a spoilt cocained out of control girl trading hard on the privileges her "loving parents" gave her without regard to common sense, and when she ran out of them and ended up a splattered mess, they are now blaming the world.
Yup, use your money for good. Suing other people because you're disgusting excuses for horrible parents who let their coked-out daughter continue her life "Oh yeah we were going to take her to a beverly hills therapist on monday" and have access to a $90K sportscar -- well guess what. You failed as parents. You failed as human beings.
If you want to know whom to blame, mommy and daddy, go take your wads of orange county cash and stand in front of a mirror. If that looks greek to you, well, that's because responsibility and raising kids go hand in hand, and you didn't get it and still don't get it.
Yes, if EVERY TW customer watched high-bandwidth video all day TW wouldn't pay more.
However all those customers would suffer lack of bandwidth.
TW uses an oversell model, meaning they sell the same bandwidth they buy to many people over and over and over. If all of them use it, it won't cost TW more, but the bandwidth won't be there for all those users.

Dear Pirates, it costs us millions of dollars to have all these warships just because you don't understand the limits of your sandbox. We're here to provide that education.
Do lets bring Captain Richards to us.
If you don't, tomorrow we will use our "little planes" (UAVs) to remove the nicest house on the nicest hilltop. After that we'll wait another day for Captain Richards. Then we'll remove the nicest two houses on the nicest two hilltops. The day after four, and so on.
If by Tuesday we haven't received Captain Richards back -- alive, well, and well fed -- we will come knocking politely at your lifeboat. If you give us the captain we won't open fire and kill everyone. Otherwise we will.
If you bring other ships close by we'll sink them. That will probably reduce their value to you. If you're not sure what "close by" is, err on the side of caution.

Nagh, he doesn't seem to want to change. He wants to complain that he might not even now magically find a position. He hasn't indicated a change since his 20s. Back then he pissed his time away [doing what?] and now he's pissing it away getting a degree...
AND THROUGHOUT IT ALL lamenting that he won't get a job.
Like I said, quit pissing and moaning (and predicting your own failure) and go do something useful.
You're too late because you don't get it. You didn't get it when you "pissed away" your 20s. You don't get it because you're already whining about why you likely won't get a job in your 30s.
Meanwhile all the people in their 50s, 40s, 30s, and 20s who aren't pissing and moaning will take the jobs.
No, you're not an old man at 35. You're the same pisser and moaner you were in your 20s.
Let me know when you're ready to ask if I want fries with that.

Letting your 18 year old coked out daughter take the keys and your $90,000 Porsche isn't successful.
This family shouldn't be suing anyone other than themselves for failing to be good parents.
They're not "successful." They're stupid assholes who let their daughter run her life down a long downhill slope that ended up in her death.

You don't see my daughter in the news, now do you.
