And what is to keep them from routing everything from pagead2.googlesyndication.com doubleclick.net, etc... to their own server at XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX? absolutely nothing, I do it locally using/etc/hosts as a browser independent ad blocker, but they could set up their primary dns server to steal all of google's (and others') ad revenue that Cox customers would have generated. I just threw together a working prototype using bash and netcat in about 10 lines. But why stop there, they could mirror popular CDNs with mostly static content too and inject even more revenue (ajax.googleapis.com/... for example which not only serves jquery and many popular js libraries but also static ads at imagead?...some.swf) Also did this in 5 more lines of shell + sed (obviously you wouldn't use a shell script for a production server, but it would have taken me a lot longer to do it in C)
But why stop there, route all competitor domains to similar sites owned by Cox. But why stop there when they could layer all payment code with a "protective" Cox wrapper for a measly 10% of each transaction... But why stop there, just make everything on the internet Cox
All completely possible....anyone switching to opendns yet?
Who cares if its fraudulent? It will generate enough revenue to buy our way out of it right... right?
FYI. New Hampshire has no sales tax, so many New-Englanders go to Portsmouth for their major purchases. On $16,000, that could be ~$1000,... more than worth it, but not if you are going to be tazed.
Yes, they should, but the oil companies used the excuse of transitioning to ULSD to increase the cost. Even though they have plenty of time to "refine" their processes to bring refinement costs back down below gas, the price at the pump is still significantly higher (even in the summer) This is the kind of thing that makes us TDI drivers long for the days of Jimmy Hoffa, since the teamsters union is the most affected organization with the means to force the issue.
yes, the whole system needs a band-aid I'm sure there is an answer to the whole thing if you just google it on bing. If I find it, I'll xerox you a copy, but right now I need an aspirin... Where's my styrofoam thermos?
Please change all memory management and related utilities to refer to RAM... until it is flagged... then you can use uncastrated adult male sheep... oh wait adult and word containing castrate are already flagged... and you can't have an app name with manager to avoid confusion with official apple utilities... so it looks like it will eventually be named:
Boss @#%@#$ #$%#$ male sheep
but don't worry, your customers will think nothing of its apparent offensive content, because we have an active campaign to explain to them how they are too ignorant to think for themselves and how educating themselves is actually a complete waste of time.
For ease of use and the ability to actually read and understand the underlying source code, qemu is hard to beat, as most of Fabrice Bellard's projects are.
Its a pretty simple strategy. Buy out as much of the competition as possible to help control supply. If anything causes increased demand or short supply, raise prices immediately and then only lower them when absolutely necessary to keep regulators off your back. Does this sound like gas prices? I think so. Remember when diesel prices were lower than gas at least all summer? It may not be a monopoly, but when a few major companies own the market and have an unwritten non-compete agreement, it may as well be (recall a similar issue the lcd monitor price fixing case)
The problem is that transmission is omnidirectional. Change that to a tightly coupled E-M field pulse and efficiency goes way up. Think of it as the difference between a light bulb and a laser. Every 10 years or so, a "new" Tesla tech is re-discovered. Next will be parallel disk turbines or tapping into earth's resonances. Too bad he was so far ahead of his time, now we may never see half of his genius because there is no money in it. Same reason we use lithium batteries instead of Edison batteries (you can't expect to talk about Tesla without at least a mention of his arch rival)
Windows transmit percussive noise quite well even if they are insulated. The best solution I have come up with was to use translucent corrugated roofing panels (such as http://www.wolfleader.com/products/brand/sequentia/ ) on the outsides of the windows. The currugation serves to both deflect noise away and to redirect the percussive waves so that they aren't in sync when they hit the glass (and thus don't transmit as well). Add some black-out curtains (the kind with the rubberized backing) for when the noise outweighs your need for sunlight or use some more expensive translucent sound absorbing curtains (such as http://www.gizmag.com/empa-translucent-sound-absorbing-curtain/18556/ ). There are commercial/industrial solutions that use similar techniques, but nothing I found was translucent and all of it was extremely expensive compared to the commodity items available at your local hardware store.
_Millimeter_ wave technology _has_ been deployed in theater, so successfully that it never _needed_ to be used. It is to localized unrest, what nukes are to global wafare - only a deterrent. Combined with a bit of counter intelligence, it _can_ put enough fear and uncertainty in would-be adversaries to make itself unnecessary.
That being said it _is_ possible to build your own using about $100 worth of ordinary household items and to defend against with about $5 of household items.
We only have to recall how much money was spent on the star wars program that rediscovered Tesla's nearly 100 year old patents to realize that defense industry contractors have a financial incentive to have "not invented here" syndrome. If they have the patent, they don't have to compete until better technology exists.... Yes if another (cheaper/better) way was (re)discovered, a smaller company _should_ be able to compete, but recent software patent litigation should illuminate the fallacy in that assumption.
If you have more than you regularly lend out, give the rest to a library that will loan out the rest. You'd be surprised what libraries will lend sometimes. Our local library even loans out fishing poles and equipment.
Or... just use pxe+tftp with a modified Puppy Linux. Just add a couple lines of code to init for using/proc/cmdline to select which squashfs to load (choice of flavor=.sfs) and the user save file (savefile=.*fs... which can be any file system including network or encrypted ones) onto the union file system.
... but why bother - I can already get a modified puppy with Xvesa+jwm+rxvt+sh in a 1Mb kernel image and boot in ~1s, so I am pretty sure that with coreboot in a 2Mb BIOS we could skip the pxe/tftp parts altogether. Google can't even fit half of Dalvik in twice that.
Similar to robots, I would assume. Anything more than the necessary data and you get diminishing or negative returns up until it begins to be indistinguishable from reality.
Fusion has been 50 years away for over 50 years.
The U. S. doesn't want to use spent fuel to produce energy... it is a loophole that enables stockpiling plutonium as "waste".
But it is so cute that they try.
Just because a implies b, does not mean b implies a. In English, you can't do var if = 1 , so why would you suggest that for translations, non-english speakers aren't retarded (in fact I hear that over a billion of them have learned Chinese by the time they are toddlers). Yeah, so each language would have 2 sets of keywords: native and english... _until_ you preprocess the js (_before_ running/distributing) and then all of the localized keywords are gone, so it won't matter if framework X uses jos as a variable.
Actually it wouldn't even need to be limited to javascript. All you would need is a unicode-capable sed/awk/gcc to preprocess the keywords from back to syntax... this is what compilers _do_... just give it a *.js.c extension and use sed 's/'$GOTO'/goto/g' $file.js.lang > $file.js...or... gcc -E... or... awk 'gsub(...)'... to transform it... in fact, why not go an extra step and compile all functions used in web programming down to a 2 byte enumerated representation? It could be post processed back to a pretty format if/when a user hits view source. It would save a ton of bandwidth (not to mention how much that would be if just the white space or comments could also be "stripped") Think of it as assembly for the web. Unfortunately it (the web) got xml-fied like everything else because it was straight-forward to work with and reasonably robust for the types of things they were doing with html-1.0. If you had told those guys of the massive bandwidths, frameworks and code that would be built atop their work, you would likely have seen something like that (I wonder if that is kinda what the Opera turbo feature does, besides regular compression - kind of like a predefined compression table)

How difficult would it be to create an android/iphone app to accomplish the same effect with a bluetooth headset? Not very, in fact it should be completely obvious public knowledge to any professional in the field (thus not patentable). Most phones today have the CPU power to filter noise and level volumes. How much would consumers be willing to pay for the app? Would they be willing to wear the bluetooth headsets? How many man-hours would it take to program? For now those answers lean toward making 100s of variations of stupid games instead, but as smartphone and bluetooth adoption grows this may change.
It the business model and slow/nonexistent updates. The hardware doesn't improve _that_ much, but droiders who are good about keeping their phones charged also see slowdowns over time from extra processes running backgrounded while idiots like me that let their phone go dead once in a while (ok, quite often) get the processes reset when the phone shuts down and end up without the sluggishness. These proactive users remember how fast their phone was when they bought it and think the must just need a new one. I call it the windows registry effect.
