It may seem that way but it is a real issue. Watching a football(US) game on Comcast, live, it is easy to see the lack of visual quality as the camera moves and the field just becomes a blur of green, which once again returns to detail as the image stops moving. Movies from Netflix/Amazon are often blocky (low res image) over a 1080p image choice. How can we hold providers to account and or make an informed choice as to which service provider is better? We don't watch the same instance of a game on two providers at the same time. We don't have two service providers for the same show? It's an interesting question and one which will become more of an issue as bandwidth providers race to the bottom rung of the ladder.
Attacks on the media are always justified, if the media is not doing its job of properly informing the populace. A one sided media is the enemy of democracy by not properly disseminating information.
EEE works by allowing users to experience a consistent set of tools across platforms. These tools, over a long period of time, will dumb down a generation of users. After some time, you allow the quality of the tools on one platform to slip somewhat. Just a little. At that point the other platform starts to become slightly more preferable. No. Everyone wont switch to Windows. But there would be some who will.
They did then too. It was always the small switch, often next to the "Turbo" switch. Occasionally a case manufacturer would not actually place the reset switch on the front panel and require interior access to the motherboard to push it.
Modern laptops often emulate the reset switch with a purpose built reset circuit by holding the soft power switch for X seconds...
So if you have a room, say about the size of a 737, with a few laptops going, using the WiFi and a bunch of people with this new fangled iPhone thingy. Is there enough bandwidth? 25Mbps sounds like a lot, but when shared, is it enough?
Does this mean that anyone who allows public access through their property, like a store with two doors, or a shopping mall operator, will be responsible too for the bank robbery?
In the end this reduces the cost of software to the customer.
Customer benefits by having ready access to a database of information produced by other users (more expert than any front line help desk).
Vendor benefits by not having cost overhead of front line support infrastructure.
Everyone benefits by having honest information exchange.
Vendor developers/consulting team provide secondary support and expert knowledge as appropriate.
This is a win/win for all involved.
Is this akin to the "To help the environment, please reuse your towels" sign in hotel bathrooms? Sure, we know this is really to increase the profits of the hotel. But in a free market with open competition, these figures ultimately produce a cheaper product for the consumer.
Sorry, but PC manufacturers have been putting out hardware that can be damaged by software for years. CPU overheating caused by bad drivers is one area where this appears time and again.
However, there is no reason that the PC, running a supported OS, should allow an application to damage the hardware in any way. That is either bad OS design or bad hardware design or both.
Watching 'Castle' the other night. Enjoying it for the accurate, serious show that it is. Beckett indicated the entry wound was too big for a 9mm round. Had to be something bigger. They later found a.357 which was the right size.
25.4*.357 = 9.07mm She has a good eye. Actually she has great looking eyes.
It has been said that the person we work for is ourselves. You just happen to sell your skills to your current (next?) employer.
If you wish to remain relevant, then you need to stay up to date.
Where and how you do that perhaps depends on your current network skills and the access you have to materials outside of your current employer.
Can you VPN outside of your employer network? Can you proxy through your employer network? Can you read a book/kindle at your desk? Can you install appropriate tools on your employer lap/desktop? Xampp anyone? VMWare Anyone?

They gave up trying to make the Field Effect Transistor in the '30s until the right technology came along...

As he said. An uninformed populace...

Does this include the press?
Seriously? It takes the IEEE to tell us of something which has been known since before "The Godfather" hit the screens??

It appears Clint got it right all those years ago.

Land of the free and the home of the brave. Nope.
Land of the oppressed and the home of the fearful.
Sigh. All it takes...evil..good men do nothing...etc.
Not sure where the math came from in the OP but...
100W * 0.33 * 0.50 * 0.95 * 0.50 = 7.8
This clearly is lower that 16W
Might have to look more clearly at the article and see where the discrepancy arises.
Also the OP forgets that the quoted 67% includes electrical generation. ie the turbine.
And a typical phone charger (a Switch Mode PSU) will have an efficiency > 75%. So our calculation becomes:
100W * 0.33 * 0.95 * 0.75 = 23.5
RevengeD? Is that part of the suicide distribution?
Sure - they will just attach an infra-red filter to the camera.

Small comment.
I have a Netgear router with Tomato running on it with over 730 days of uptime!
Trust a WAP to bring theory to a practical fight.
How come the only class with a name is Minshara?
I guess all UNIX's are Class Y (Demon worlds)
