They laid down a lot of fiber for Lake Placid. I haven't been back to Lake Placid since, I wonder if they have unusually good connectivity as a result of that investment?
he is still a troll. I guess he is just upset that FreeBSD gets used more for secure applications more than OpenBSD. An awful lot of security and crypto work has come out of members of the FreeBSD community.
I graduated from a public high school in Essex county. From my experience to date, I received one of the finest public high school experiences in the country. Quality of schools is very localized, and can change radically from one town to the other.
Prior to divestiture, AT&T would replace the copper loop between the CO and home every 25 years. Post divestiture, SBC ( Masquerading as AT&T ) will not replace copper until it rots into the ground. When it does get around to replacing it, the loop runs to an RT or equivalent instead of the CO. One of the biggest excuses for the substantial increases in your phone bill was for maintenance of the local loop. They have had more than adequate time to replace copper with fiber, but have chosen to pocket the difference instead. Now, after taking all the money for the maintenance that was not done, they want us to pay again for the new loops they will inevitably have to install.
A coward instills fear. In the long run, fear is a destructive force in a company. In the short run, it can boost profits. I am sure that Marissa will be long gone, after collecting an enormous bonus for that short term boost, to see the real results of her actions.
I am afraid you are quite wrong, the issue is PEAK volume, not total. All of the infrastructure costs relate to the peak data flow the ISP is handing. The only costs which correlate to total volume are peering relationships. That is such a small fraction of the total cost that it is not worth considering.

Now people can spend much more time actually writing applications than writing supporting infrastructure.

The 1980 Winter Olympics were in Lake Placid, New York.
OTA has another advantage, higher quality pictures in HD. The cable providers still insist on compressing their signals too much.

Show me optical media that is good for 10+ years. How big a stack of Blu-Rays am I going to need to match one 6TB LTO?
Not Mars-like, but more Venus-like. Our magnetic field isn't going anyway, so we'll retain the atmosphere. Nothing a few hundred nukes can't fix.
Well, it beats Amateur Sex Change.
was going to be gallium arsenide, but it never made it to market.

It keeps going and going.
True to its users.
Congratulations, on another fine release, to the Slackware Team!
Well, it is running FreeBSD, so getting Linux to run, once you get past the keys, should be easy.
For a second there, I thought he was describing RIAA.

Please don't confuse our dear friend with facts, they get in the way of perfectly good arguments.

If nothing else, it is an important part of a well rounded education. It will help you personally and professionally.
when you are silly enough to buy it from Oracle. Several shops, I am aware of, are dropping Oracle Linux because their support is worse than useless.
It almost seems that they are trying to prove open source doesn't work by supporting it so badly.
