  1. Re:Scared of competition on Time Warner Shutting Off Austin Accounts For Heavy Usage · · Score: 1

    The real question is what will this brave new world mean for the future of Nielsen? Will the fate of TV programs in the future be based on real, directly measurable, viewership numbers? I think the networks in general underestimate the benefit of in-house market research that promises to be amazingly accurate.

  2. Re:And then imagine on Time Warner Shutting Off Austin Accounts For Heavy Usage · · Score: 1

    9:1 contention ratios wouldn't be a problem when only 1% of the users are consuming most of the bandwidth. 50:1 is a more realistic ratio for the real world for Tier 3 networks at least. Tier 1 networks have no significant cost difference between different bandwidth usage levels. Internet peering and interconnects are mind-bogglingly complicated since everything is privately owned.

  3. Re:How to comment on FCC Seeks To Improve US Broadband Access · · Score: 1

    It's not really that hard; for example: just fill out the form http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi

    The proceeding is 09-51
    Document type is already COMMENT

    either
      -upload a file and convert to PDF if necessary
      -type a comment directly on the form

    make sure to address specific statutory sections where applicable (when giving comments in regard to specific laws for example) and give your comment some amount of organization at least similar to the notice of inquiry (especially if it is long)

  4. Re:Add-ins on Look Out, Firefox 3 — IE8 Is Back On Top For Now · · Score: 1

    It's a tiring semantic issue that exists because of ambiguously descriptive terms. IE plugins including toolbars are technically add-ons since add-on (more common than "add-in") is the superset of plugin and extension. Plugins have much greater restriction on functionality than extensions. ActiveX is another subset of add-on distinctive from both plugin and extension.

  5. Re:Doesn't Make Economic Sense on GM Cornered Into Defending the Volt · · Score: 1

    The market for efficient cars is already full of 6 year old used ones, why do you think everyone can suddenly afford new cars when a used one will get over 40mpg, cost a couple thousand dollars, and run for another 10 years? Thanks in part to W. Edwards Deming, modern cars are just too reliable.
