I have pondered this many times over the years. If it weren't for the breakup, we wouldn't have the Internet as we know it, either. We would be cruising along on our 1.5Mb/s PRI ISDN lines by now, for only $100/month plus distance changes.
Our Federal legal system has gottent out of control. The laws have become too complex and convoluted for a layman to understand and the penalties have become way too large. There is a reason that less than 1 in 40 Federal prosecutions even make it to a court. The prosecutors make it almost impossible not to take a plea deal.
By making an example of Kansas City, the rest of the country will demand similar resources. The days of gouging the US public for Internet connectivity may soon be coming to an end.
Physics Phd's were very popular hires for High Frequency Trading firms due to their demonstrated problem solving abilities. This has now extended to some of the Fortune 500's in "Big Data" analysis teams. Stop looking at Physics jobs, and start looking at jobs which will benefit from the skill set you have developed to get your degree. You might be surprised.
Actually, the inkjet was invented by Teletype Corp in 1965. The Bozo's at AT&T, the parent company of Teletype, couldn't figure out what to do with it. in 1982, when the patents expired, HP figured out what to do with it!
has become the US Congress. Never have I seen so many get paid so much to do so little. They better wake up soon, otherwise a torch bearing mob may did it for them.
General "Buck" Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
Ambassador de Sadesky: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.
Coming from someone who has had a deep and long dislike of Microsoft, Windows 8 is not that bad. Metro is half baked and feels like it was tossed in at the last moment. Other than that, I have had less issues with Windows 8 than its predecessors.
Now then, what were they thinking with Metro? I have no idea. It feels half assed, and adds no value. The screen looks like someone's idea for webcasting push technology from the late 1990's.
Assuming he has a relatively current PC, you can start for $20 for a RTL2832 based dongle, $100's for a small kit, and $1000's for a complete Amateur Radio System.
Sorry for the confusion. I am suggesting that Congress has far bigger problems to address than this one. I also think there are far bigger issues to address in the field of mental health than video games.

Mkaing examples of them is fine. My point is that they are symptoms of a much larger problem.

I really can't fault Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann, their behavior is what the current system demands.

I got a 2560x1440 from Microcenter for $329 a few months ago.
is becoming an increasingly bad comedy show.
Yes, the one in New Jersey, had metric signs back in the 1960's. I don't know if it still does, though.

No one knows when you are a good spy!

You can peel my HP-97 from my cold dead hands.
If there are, they are surely on the endangered species list.
There has to be proof that such devices CAN'T harm a plane's avionics. Once that is done, we'll be able to play with our toys.

Since no one has mentioned it yet. An interesting movie, with an EPIC crash scene!

had it not been for Gerry and Sylvia's work. They inspired the imagination!

has anything better to do. Who cares about the fiscal cliff?
Preventing events like this is equivalent to trying to stop lightning strikes. In fact death by lightning is more common.
The other white meat.
Byte died in the early 1980's, after McGraw/Hill bought them up. Before that, they were the place to go for articles on microcomputing.
He was until relatively recently, unlike others who were born with silver spoons in their mouths.
I think he remembers his apartment dwelling days quite clearly.
Not to have this kind of infrastructure?
