They're 0.3 Watts! Nothing more, nothing less. It sends out the same strength all the time! Where did you hear that. I work in the cell industry. A have to say that out of all the things that I've heard in this discussion this is the funniest.
I did hear that "Cells are pointed downwards so you wouldn't be picked up the the sky anyways" which IS correct. I believe any building without a picocell that is above about 9-10 floors will have cruddy reception, because that's about as tall as the towers get (or they're on top of buildings that high).
30,000 feet is a long way to be up there. Even IF you could see hundreds of sites from up there, you're certainly not going to be picking up a signal that's worth anything. Without a picocell on the plane to relay your conversation through another means (satellite most likely, moving too fast for microwave) your phone would be useless.
This is just an excuse to pull funding and put it somewhere else. Unfortunately, the greater public won't see it as such though. They will see a government concerned for its brightest scholars. Say goodbye to your beloved Astronauts.
But how much of the windows UI has linux "borrowed"? It's all one and the same. You stick with what the users recognize and relate to. And how many other products do you know that look like clones of successful brands?
Well... we're in a capitalist society. Go start your own broadband company and start changing things.
Don't have the capital? I'm sure people will invest!
Oh? One of the monopolies wants to buy you out now that you're starting to be successful? Too bad your investors want to go forward with the deal. Ah well, at least you're all rich now.
A very well thought out argument. I applaud you for it. You've got some very good info regarding some of the common misconceptions I've already read about this subject.
I'm not sure it ever will be perfected. As quick as the publishers put copy-protection on, people are breaking through it. And, there are a lot more of us out there trying to break the lock, then are trying to keep it closed.
Really, this is very very interesting. Especially since my grandmother has been diagnosed with cancer in her jaw and will probably have to be removed. She is probably too old in order to have this done, but it gives hope for a lot of people. I can see severed limbs/digits being replaced soon. As long as you could get the muscle tissue and skin to grow back over top... It's not exactly a timely solution, but I'm envisioning the reconstruction scene from the Fifth Element!
Transgaming already has a subscription service for their product Cedaga. And I do see a lot more companies moving to this model. Open source is gaining momentum, and the "support subscription" model is probably going to be one of the only ways that these companies can make money off of it.
That's also how I see it working. I believe it will help a lot of end users. There a lot of us out there that liek "find -name filename", but there are people who don't want to use all the command line utilities. KDE is only taking from something that has already been successful. Regular users like search capability like this, and, frankly, so do I. Trying to find help these days in a nightmare. Most of the time I turn to Google first, before I ever try help anywhere else.
I agree, we are in the priveledged ranks. With the internet I can post (almost) anywhere I want and whatever I want. Censorship out there is something that isn't going to happen. It's much too large for a single body to go through and censor. Let my voice be heard!
I haven't seen this posted yet... but most people seem to be assuming that they are returning the water back to the same level they got it from. They may be putting the warmer water back in above where they pull it from.
The company that I work for does supply these things. Blackberry, Pager, Laptop, Cell, etc. They do believe in the fact that if they need you to do work after hours and get on it, they need to give you access to these things.
Internet is another story... (at least where I work). We're not an ISP, or a webhosting service. If you want to work from home, we have VPN access, but you have to pay for the connection yourself. If something goes wrong, we still have the cell phones, and pagers, and blackberries to get ahold of each other.
So, we believe our employees are critical to our business and we believe these things are needed to get in contact with people!
I personally like to filter the same way Hotmail does with its bulk email filter. Anything that doesn't have my email address in it gets trashed. Only a slight few actually make it through.

A little off topic...

No, they just can't copy MST3K's name and/or format. There are many other ways to do parody.
Exactly. Parody is still covered under copyright laws. Therefore a copy of a parody is still breaking the law.
A very well thought out argument. I applaud you for it. You've got some very good info regarding some of the common misconceptions I've already read about this subject.
Ah, but I have said before... There are more people trying to break through this than there are trying to keep it secure.
I'm not sure it ever will be perfected. As quick as the publishers put copy-protection on, people are breaking through it. And, there are a lot more of us out there trying to break the lock, then are trying to keep it closed.
This is true in its entirety. Mod it waaaaay up.
For having the balls to stand up to the industry bigwigs.
Well, it's sort of true. Have you seen the list of things SP2 breaks on XP?

I'm shocked that it takes 130 pages to tell how the word "broadband" came about.
I don't think this one will sit on my coffee table!
An interesting release name. Are we going to have HighsKool next?
