Bandwidth on the other hand can never be recovered once not used. Very much unlike gasoline.
Think "oversell margins". I am suggesting the ISPs are fairly culpable in the problem, and I would not let them off the hook so easily by letting them punish customers for using the product. Besides, it won't work out to well in some respects, this thing you are suggesting. I mean the reason they push the limits on the overselling is to maximize the efficiency of their machine-that-can-only-make-money. By going bit rate, they would be discourageing use of the machine, reducing its efficiency, so they would increase the oversell level to bring the efficiency back up. Of course they would make more money this way, but you would still be stuck with a crappy connection. And it will save no trees.
That sounds more like it is possible. Only you can't notice it before, during or after the event, since its uncertain at any given moment and all. Its called the "Taylors Unnoticibility Principle". I need to go make a Wikipedia page to make it official, so you can quote it in the future.
I mean, we do not allow people to send email using any outlook client, but thats for obvious and technical reasons. We first tried to enforce this by policy since I sort of expect people to obey policy. We had one guy who insisted on using it no matter how many times I tolled him not to. So we explicitly disallow it at the server. Along with this we disallowed common non-encrypted services like windows shares and the like.
However, whats the hatred of IM services? I mean, this sort of thing is a social problem not a technical one. The only reason you would usually try to keep a lid on it is if you supposed employees were wasting their time, and this is a problem for HR or management, not the IT department. If its simply a matter of installing unauthorized software then you have two choices from a technical point of view, authorize it or disallow users installing software using a technical solution. If your platform does not let you have this kind of control then your using the wrong platform for the kind of control you seek.
As far as users plugging in unauthorized devices, use managed switches, and explicitly allow the hardware you approve of. Those users found circumventing this are obviously not innocent, as they have actively circumvented your meager security, so shut them down and let HR know about it so they can decide what to do.
If you REALLY MUST keep users from using software, then shut down UDP and do explicit allows for IPs and ports after the user proves need. Force everything through a transparent proxy and do explicit allows for sites after the user proves need.
You now have control over everything on your network. If this seems draconian its because it is, welcome to 1984(+24).
The gist is twofold; fist, the IT department should try to stay out of the HR management game and stick with technical issues. Second, you can have as much control as you wish ( if you think its a good idea ) so quit your crying.

Right, so say we made a system that created threads to do heavy analysis on files, and then we make the number of threads dynamic depending on the hardware, because its dynamic it becomes trivial?
I would not call that claim "bold". I would call it something else...
Well, maybe not a bigger problem for most people, but for me my biggest complaint is lack of surround sound for movies. Until this is fixed, all other problems are secondary since I do not like paying higher prices for inferior products.
Even having an option to play with no color pallet and gamma turned way down will not work. Unless everyone is forced to play that game they have in their heads, they will not be happy. People who opt not to enable bland mode will almost be cheating the game as it "was meant to be played". This argument over which style is best for the game cannot be won in any traditional sense of the word. At best it can be safely ignored.
You might come to the conclusion that the subject changes state when you test it, but is not the case.
I assume they also claim to have more than 0 girlfriends, which would be clear indication that the test is flawed since EQ2 and love life cannot both be true at the same time.
Maybe he thought "the wire is designed for digital communications only" constituted a licensing arrangement, and thats what you would be breaking rather than universal law. Of course this would make him twice as stupid, so thats what I will prefer to believe.
Because paper certifications are generally the equivalent of the blue ribbon Participant prize. They don't really mean shit. Instead, being engineers, we can filter out the "Me Too"s with some questions.
I guess for me its a tool to extract out the information I need to make an informed decision when they simply do not interview well, since in our line of work, interviewing well does also not translate into competence.
Papers saying your trained in something does not impress me, showing that you have a decent catalog of problem solving tactics and some aptitude for learning new ones will get you the job every time. The test is supposed to be a way to help ascertain this.
Don't take it personal.
But on the other hand, if the test is not directly applicable to the job, and/or the test results are not evaluated by a fairly competent engineer in the same field, the test is meaningless and worse it will result in incorrect conclusions. Welcome to corporate culture where rules are dictated by the Cover Your Own Ass policy. Being a fairly intelligent person, you probably want to reconsider working for such a company. But you still don't have to take it personal. It not you, its them.
I think it might just be the beginning of a $300,000,000 story arc, starring Seinfeld with cameo appearances made by Vista, and possibly MS Bob as the real comic relief. Just a hunch really, I have nothing to back this up other than the initial add which would make No Fucking Sense otherwise.
Just in case your crazy enough to take my advice, you will probably want to put a thin cotton cloth around it before you add silica and Saran Wrap, so that you don't end up with extra plastic fused to your device, and make it easier to unwrap.

I contend that without the players the games would be pretty much bug free.
Or processors, or ram. It would be awesome dude!

Is it more expensive than a high-end Windows machine? Not really.
Who buys those high-end Windows machines? Nobody with any sense.
Does Apple offer $500 laptops? Nope.
Ergo, Apple is expensive.
Yes, but they are also not cheap.
Some say its already forked.
If I had a dime for every time I hid a cow in my bedroom...

You need a citation to back up the claim that he is sure?
Scary, isn't it?
Yes, yes you are.

Isn't this simply 'tapping into the GPU' like any other openGL application?

Like in the way that allowing vendors like ATI and nVidia to extend Direct3D has caused them to drop it in the past?
Stop saying 'deep magic' !
