What kind of person bills his grandmother for taking her to the supermarket? Jeezz...
Apparently, this is quite common in impoverished areas where the grandmother and lots of relatives may be living
in shared space and the grandmother incapable of driving, but she needs to buy groceries for herself, and possibly
some children whose care has been foisted on her, BUT everyone else does their own shopping.
The kids will bill the parents/GPs for everything, and depending on the circumstance, even
charge their parents rent, or vice-versa.
Keep in mind, there are lots of folks in the world who are below the poverty line in the US, and when
they can't afford to bear the cost on their own to live by themselves, they have a problem of working
out how they will share the costs.
In all fairness, however... gasoline, wear and tear, time and energy are not free.
And by charging their grandmother for transport, it will help them be able to afford the
iPhone 6+ that they need.
It's just that often the kids don't seem to be as helpful as they ought to be, in charging
essentially what a taxi would cost.
says that cat6 can do 10Gb, just at a max of 55 meters.
Cat 6 cable's maximum length is 55 meters (180 ft) in a favorable alien crosstalk environment, but only 37 meters (121 ft) in a hostile alien crosstalk environment... t is highly recommended that all Cat 6 cables used for 10GBASE-T be electrically tested once installed
With its improved specifications, Cat 6A does not have this limitation and can run 10GBASE-T at 100 meters (330 ft) without electronic testing.
Given that my house is ~60x30 feet, you could darn near run the entire perimeter and still be under 55 meters.
37 meters. In some single-story houses, you will be able to make it.
But let's not forget, that there is rarely a straight path for each drop back to the utility entrance.
Crazy as it seems, all the judges were sent letters prohibiting them from taking this case due to National Security.
No, they're allowed to take the case --- but they MUST paste the text that has been provided to them into
their ruling and adopt the text as their ruling on the matter.
Client-software based. The problem with any server-based test is twofold:
There will be many variables in regards to the performance of a download/upload to some servers
Web browsers are poorly instrumented. Most of the speedtest applications are using Flash or a Java applet. Java-based tests seem to often be more accurate. Flash-based speed tests seem to give inaccurate results, even for the performance of the server you are downloading from: it is very inconsistent
The ideal speedtest would look like a Knoppix CD... you'd boot your computer, and load up a Kernel patched to gather Web100 metrics, and then test a large number of upload and download scenarios against a large number of servers.
Then analyze the data to calculate a "Composite speed score"
You just aren't being very creative. If you want a little bit of profit to be made overseas, create a subsidiary in India that charges your company for phone support.
One better.... create a subsidiary in India that charges your company to buy Cloud services hosted in the US to deliver automated Tech services and allows virtual agents to signup to deliver support.
The virtual agents could be located anywhere in the world, even the US.
You just pulled the rights from a a metric fuck ton of mentally & physically handicapped people
I think he's talking about the species as a whole, not individuals.... but you could say
The individual chimp will have rights as soon as they can hold down jobs to feed themselves OR
one of their family members/parents/ancestors, or their tribal government can.
That 5 cable bundle was not significantly more expensive than running a single cat5 line.
Interesting.... although for a completely new build.. I would probably suggest installing conduit
in order to facilitate future cable changes or replacements in order to address wiring that
fails or needs to be repaired/scrapped/upgraded later.:)
If it's just a shorty 3-meter wall-to-NIC patch you can run 10gigE over cat5e even.
This is not in spec. Just because two devices will see each other and negotiate 10Gig speed does not mean
it will actually work correctly, and out-of-spec config very well result in media errors receiving packets. 10GBASET to 100 meters requires Cat6A or Cat7 to be proper and in spec.
To very short distances, Cat6 is in spec for 10GBaseT, but never Cat5E.
There's no point. If you're going to spend extra money above Cat5E, then either do optical Fiber (expensive) or Cat6A.
Cat6A will allow you to do 10-Gigabit eventually to 1000 meters. Cat6 can't go over 1000-megabits, so
there's really no meaningful advantage of using Cat6 in a residential deployment
I guess the Cat6 might last longer in theory. It's tougher to terminate, and you need special connectors.
Just keep in mind you will be the first to get axed and vs the low experienced degree'd person.
I think that's only true in jobs where the degree is highly valued, or jobs where management has
no good way of evaluating you as having special worth to your employer -- then degree or not begins
to seem like an objective criteria, but I am sure you could overcome this through job selection and
hard work.
Dude..... you just hosed production.
You're getting written up, and also, nobody is going home until everything is back up, and the Myisamchk --safe-recover on the 5.6 TB mission-critical can NEVER go down or we lose $50000 an hour database you just broke is finished, oh, and by the way, you'll be getting the bill.
If the kid goes to junior college, gets good grades and proves to be capable and to actually give a damn, then they should be considered viable for further admissions.
I would say yes... if the kid goes to an associate or vocational school and is successful there, AND then the kid goes on to pass the admissions exam, they should be considered viable.
They should also be considered viable if they add some work experience and then pass an admissions exam.
Or for that matter, if they pass an admissions exam with high marks, write a good essay, and they secure 3 or 4 glowing letters of recommendation
from people other than their family, friends, or high school staff, who have worked with them in a professional or academic capacity and can vouch for their suitability and abilities.
The point is the "admissions process" needs to weed out applicants who are most likely not driven or most likely not going to succeed.
There probably *are* kids who did poorly in high school, who would do well in college, but who can't get into college.
Because they'd change their ways and work a lot harder, and then make up for all the basic materials they didn't learn sufficiently, at the same time as taking College Algebra, Rhetoric/Composition, Psych, or College Biology, which builds on topics and abilities they were expected to have learned in high school?
The job of the admissions board is to fill the admission quota with the students most likely to succeed if they start right now, not students with performance record indicating low probability of success who might in theory have a shot at excelling in college, if they only take a couple worth of years of remedial work a semester before or at the same time as taking classes that the remedial work is meant to help them understand and survive, and they still do all the work necessarily to succeed with current course load, increased much further due to their disadvantage from inadequate preparation.
If your high school GPA was both 2.0 and you didn't excel at the entrance exams.... that could either mean you got Cs in all classes... or more likely: you got A in Art, and Physical education and Ds in a bunch of classes that really matter.
No doubt. I've seen the results of Windows time bombing.
Aiee! Kind of nasty.... oops... did I forget to mention, Windows installations sometimes tends to "time bomb" on the full release version as well;
it just happens differently in a less predictable way; usually accompanied with gradually decreasing performance over time, until eventually some driver upgrade from Windows update breaks things, and there's a blue screen every day.
One of them being, frankly, that high school really can be inane, stupid, and soul-crushing.
I don't blame kids who check out and lose interest. You're taking a bunch of people during what may be some of the most difficult years of their lives, and asking them to spend their time performing some of the most boring work possible, where nobody actually cares about the product of their work.
Did you not fully understand what I meant when I said college admission is not a "your value as a person" question.
It's an: 'Are YOU ready for this program?' question
I understand why some students' high-school experience they can feel may be soul-crushing, and my deepest sympathies, but the kids must understand that
"Checking out and losing interest" has consequences regarding your ability to perform at the college level.
If you got all Cs in high school and your ACT composite score is below the 60th percentile, then you are not really ready.....
come back when you have done some self study and can take the admission tests again, including standardized tests and any
college-specific tests, or taken associate-level degree work, and can demonstrate performance in a manner that shows you are prepared for college workload.
Because as long as there are too many students who are prepared to pass selective admissions; you shouldn't get priority over the students more likely to succeed, just because you have creative talent, perhaps like George Lucas.
There are plenty of potential non-college or non-bachelor degree programs or other opportunities suitable for sharing and fostering your creativity, however.
overlooking talented C students. Those with less than perfect grades might go on to dream up blockbuster films like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg or become entrepreneurs like Steve Job"
They may be talented, but college admissions is supposed to measure students' likelihood of success
at tasks they will be graded on.
It's not hard to earn at least Bs on basic high-school materials; having all Cs shows a lack of ability
to do the hard work or a difficulty with or lack of commitment to basic academics.
The things in College should be much more advanced, so "Artistic talent" can't really be an excuse for poor
high school grades; sorry, but your latent potential talents in one tiny sliver should not get you admitted to
a degree program you aren't ready for yet.
Nobody would buy such a computer. They already tried to float that boat, and it sank.
I think Microsoft is about ready to announce Office 365 a complete success and possibly on the verge of discontinuing the boxed product in a few years ----- I'm sure, they will be trying really hard to find a way of making the model work for Windows as well.
Even if it turns out that they'll take a sneakier door, where your FPP purchase or OEM purchase will include 1, 2, or 3 years of updates, and then you need to pay, or what.
It also won't pass muster with OEMs, who will have to explain to customers that while they're buying a computer, they have to pay a monthly fee for the OS.
First 12 months Windows Basic subscription included.
"Starter" subscription / Windows "Free" edition - free for life ---- limit of two application Windows, Internet Explorer included, and Metro App Store, no ability to install 3rd party classical desktop software.
On the other hand... seeing as Windows is reportedly moving away from a major release model.....
Perhaps in the near future they will announce a Windows 365 subscription.
For say $15 a month, you get an Operating system, and some basic productivity applications such
as Notepad, Calculator, Wordpad, and Microsoft Word.
For $5 extra a month, you get Windows 365 PLUS edition which might include Outlook and Powerpoint.
Next for another $10 a month.... the above plus Publisher and Visio
Next for an added $15 a month.... the above plus MS Access.
Finally, for $40 more a month.... Visual Studio and basic developer tools.
Quite the contrary - they want to get it into as many hands as possible, since the preview is also a marketing tool.
Yes, but you can be feel pretty confident the release will probably timebomb on a certain date and not be usable or upgradable to the official release without a clean install; or at least, that has been the case with previous technical previews.
That easy. Perhaps one of the valid reasons to keep C++ out of the kernel right now is purely that Linus would be unable to review such patches with authority.
Sounds like someone needs to send Linus some free C++ training <EG>

The reason Ebola is spreading in Africa is because of poverty and customs. In some places the doctors have run out of gloves.
No. These are contributing factors. There is no proof that poverty and customers are the only reason for Ebola spread.

You just gave me an idea....
I'm thinking about making a VPN Service that "Looks like" a speed test.
Very simple.... you request a HTTP download of file45456.zip and a simultaneous HTTP upload of file45457.zip
To maintain the connection, your VPN client will do this repeatedly.
However.... inside the HTTPS transfer there will be the encrypted IP packets you are exchanging encapsulated.
Also... of course, the same website will have a speedtest, all over HTTPS :)

If the FCC doesn't have the authority under current law, what agency should regulate situations like this
The IEEE. They invented the Wifi protocol with the "feature" that AP disjoin messages don't have to be authenticated.
Whether a client can use an AP is a system management feature provided by the Wifi protocol.
The Hotel as property owner is simply using the rules of the protocol to enforce their desired AP containment.
Now... what happens when a Hotel guest brings in a portable device and starts shutting down the official Cameras, Printers, and Wireless APs?
