Then how is it proven that ANY processor can be run reliably at its binned speed? You can NEVER prove that it is reliable except by running limitless operations and checking the result of each one.
Why don't you explain why overclocking is a bad idea. Have you taken any digital design courses? Now I can understand people being wary of over-volting, but overclocking doesn't necessarily imply this.
Likely it means they do not use the same MAC layer messaging and control, but the PHY layers have much in common. Perhaps they even use the same subcarrier arrangement? Difference may be: different bandwidth (WiMax can use up to 20MHz bands), different coding schemes (WiMax can go up to 64QAM + several different ECC methods), lack of MIMO (WiMax can have a 4x4 antenna arrangement, but I doubt that this will become a reality anytime soon).
WiMAX has been around for a while - the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard has been around a while, mostly for stationary links in rural or semi-wilderness areas. I know that AT&T has deployed some stationary WiMAX services in Alaska.
The XOHM network that Sprint is unrolling is a MOBILE WiMAX network. This is IEEE 802.16e-2005. It adds additional features meant to help with mobility (e.g. Hybrid ARQ). Some of these features may or may not be present in the Clearwire service.
There are a lot of vendors that are implementing WiMAX hardware, so one review isn't going to say everything.
"To be completely accurate, the Clearwire service is not officially WiMax but OFDM, the underlying technology behind the WiMax standard. Clearwire deployed the Reno network before the WiMax standard was final, but it is practically the same technology."
With such rapid price drops on graphics cards I thought competition between ATI and Nvidia was working. Why, I just bought a 9600GSO for $34 after rebate and live cashback (and free shpping - Newegg rocks!)
But you can sell the $100 dollar cards when you get a new $100 card. By that time the previous card may be worth around $50, and each upgrade then only costs $50. So $200 vs $330 - given the advantages that you mentioned, take your pick.
I don't want to pay teachers more because they haven't shown their worth to me. I had some teachers that taught me a lot, but the majority only taught to the level of the slowest child. My parents gave me the bulk of my education at home, teaching me things that the school wouldn't teach because the slowest child could not move as fast.
Better teachers are a good idea. But that's not the cause of the problems that I want to solve.
Give students a chance to achieve their best. Instead of no child left behind, I want no child impeded by low educational standards. Give more difficult tests to separate the children into discrete education levels. One bad example of a test is the GRE math section: first and second year high school math for a graduate school test? There is almost no differentiation among the mediocre and the elite - almost everybody scores above 700.
Differentiation should mostly be based on knowledge and problem solving skills, not on age. I don't have a problem holding students back (more in higher grade levels) so they don't ruin the classroom for everybody else. Also, more students should be skipped ahead, at least for the subjects in which they excel. Both of these actions should be much more common and should happen much more often (not only on a semester or annual boundary).
Once the students are separated, then better teachers can really be effective, helping everybody achieve their acme.
An idiot has lower cognitive and social ability than a moron. I would expect that if the university students are idiots, then most users are just bags of water and foul smelling gasses.

Good point.
Not everybody cares about reliability, however. If my game crashes, I just restart it.

I think it's more like somebody removing a speed governor from their car. The car can go faster, albeit perhaps not safely.

"Well, I may not answer the question the way you want me to, but Obama has voted to raise taxes on 94 times. Baby."
"Wait, I know about the 94 times she is referring to, and that is completely false! Praise Obama, Amen."
Yes, many countries are way ahead of the US on this, especially Korea.

Mobile WiMax does not replace Wifi - it's the latter. But I doubt all of those negative statements are true.

They don't make an 8800GTS with 384MB ram. Perhaps you mean the 8800GS, which is the same chip and configuration as the 9600GSO.

Wait til they get a load of my Transparent Aluminum Browser...it will alter the future!
Does it also come from the future via space-ship time travel?
Makes sense.
... then you have TO PAY THEM.

"You can purchase The Ninja Handbook from amazon.com from amazon.com."
So why would I want The Ninja Handbook from amazon.com from amazon.com? Do amazon.com ninja employees have better tips?
Why is this modded funny? What do you think inflation IS, anyway?
I don't like your tone.
And I think inflation IS when you fill something with air.
Example: "Check your tire inflation often to ensure good gas mileage."
