  1. Kind of like Creepy Crawly from the Entomology Department in Big Bang Theory?

    No GUI on Windows 10 IoT, so pretty much useless for most things.

    There is now a Windows 10 version that runs on the Pi, but it has no GUI, so it isn't terribly useful.

    The same integrated spyware which has been on most Microsoft products under the title "Customer Experience Improvement Program". OMG, those horrible people at Microsoft.

    Perhaps this has more to do with Comcast and Verizon's games in relation to Netflix recently?

    Comcast has intentionally maxed out peering connections, it could also have to do with this.

  6. Re:I looked at my provider's TOS... on NY To Probe Broadband Providers Over Internet Speeds (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    For Verizon FiOS, the difference between Commercial and Residential rates is $30. Not an order of magnitude on a $90 connection charge (residential).

    It isn't a T(1, 3 ...) connection, but it is guaranteed.

  7. Re:Will they ever address link speed fraud? on NY To Probe Broadband Providers Over Internet Speeds (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You appear to be judiciously confusing bytes and bits.

    I have 75 Mbit symetric service from Verizon FiOS. My computer pushes 10MByte/sec without issue to select destinations. Usually, this has more to do with the peering connections, or where the other endpoint is and what kind of connection they have than an issue with my connection.

    My connection is pretty much faster than many corporate connections, so I actually can download faster than most places can upload to me.

    I'm just waiting for the vote for Syria to join the Russian federation just like Crimea.

    The funny thing is, it all started over Yanukovych making efforts to join the EU, what does the US have to do with that at all?

    Why would the US give a crap about the Ukraine, why are we using the "CIA" or whatever to depose a president that acted initially against Russia's wishes, then went full on insane after Russia countered.

    Everything I have read indicates that the F-35 in fact does actually fly. It however isn't better than a bunch of specialized planes at doing everything...which is to be expected.

  13. It is not a scare though, it is a valid concern as Fukushima has really shown us that storing the spent fuel at reactor sites is a really bad idea when things go wrong.

    Was that any bit of the issue in Fukushima? I wasn't aware with the spent pools causing issues, only the failure to pump water into the reactors so that they could cool properly while shutting down, which was mostly caused by the 50hz/60hz issues of Japan's electric grid, with the generators being washed away in the flood (or just damaged), and an absolute destruction of most roads feeding the plant preventing new generators from being brought on site.

    What problems were caused by the spent fuel pools? Those pools are dead easy to maintain, so I really wonder what was done wrong there.

    Considering the "Bridge to nowhere" was about a bridge to an airport, that would replace ferry service and allow year round operation of the airport, it made quite a bit of sense. I'm glad you brought that up while talking about projects which should be done.

    It is slightly more difficult to hijack a train and drive it into a large building, so the security should be low.

    Look at the cities it is connecting. You connected Albuquerque, a city a bit over 550k with Santa Fe, the capital, with a population of 70k. How many people concievably would ride that train? I can see in the winter riding the train to go to the ski slopes in Santa Fe and Sandia, but what other point is there? I remember that drive, and it never seemed to be that bad. It seems like the rail line was built just for something to do, and when the Santa Fe railroad is already so popular, why bother?

    For a current example, look at the Keystone XL pipeline. This is a project proposed to reduce the Oil being transported by rail, which is an ongoing environmental disaster, but it is opposed by the Liberals because it would help the evil oil industry (not pollute as much...).

  23. The point was, at ten feet from a screen running 1080i, does it really matter what video card you get? This isn't a review of the latest desktop using a great monitor, it is a review of a Steam box meant for the living room computer.

    I don't notice the difference running at 1920x1200 a foot or so from my face on a GTX 560 SE, why would I need the latest generation card to play on a TV in the living room? What benefit is there?

  24. But will you notice the difference on a TV from 10 feet away? Are you actually gaining something from all that extra money?

    I linked my card above: http://slashdot.org/comments.p...

    I run the Witcher 3 at 1920x1200 and never see any detail drop with the screen a foot or two from my face. Would you honestly notice anything better than that from 10 feet away in your living room?
