  1. There should be no Unlimited plans at all on Verizon To Throttle High-Bandwidth Users · · Score: 1

    Wireless bandwidth is not cheap - there should be no Unlimited plans at all. The plans should be in a loose relationship with the real costs, otherwise the overuse of the plan is causing losses - if an extra GB costs an extra 1$ go ahead, charge it and spend the money to extend the network. But why throttle? This is so socialist...

  2. Thou shall not compare different codecs by PSNR... on Google Releases New Image Format Called WebP · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_signal-to-noise_ratio "When comparing compression codecs it is used as an approximation to human perception of reconstruction quality, therefore in some cases one reconstruction may appear to be closer to the original than another, even though it has a lower PSNR (a higher PSNR would normally indicate that the reconstruction is of higher quality). One has to be extremely careful with the range of validity of this metric; it is only conclusively valid when it is used to compare results from the same codec (or codec type) and same content."

  3. What good? on Australia To Build Fiber-To-the-Premises Network · · Score: 1

    What good is a phone call if you are unable to share?

  4. Why didn't theconsider multiple memory contollers? on IEEE Says Multicore is Bad News For Supercomputers · · Score: 1

    Use the same trick that RAID does: multiple memory modules in parallel. The SUN Niagara 2 processors have 4 memory controllers to feed the 4-6-8 cores (32-48-64 threads). The Tilera TILE64 processors also have 4 memory controllers to feed the 64 cores.
