most of the time it's "at least four hours" -- so if you prep it in the morning before leaving for work and shove it in the fridge, then you'll be golden by the time you get home.
and he doesn't have formal restaurant training, just a film degree and a stint at culinary school.
Internet != basic need. Kids who are hungry, or cold in the winter without appropriate clothing, but who's parents pay for high speed internets rather than a coat are the issue. Not poor people having internet.
Well, the ping on satellite is going to suck. You're guaranteed 400+ms pings since the round trip is so far.
The latency on the cellular connection depends on many factors, including signal strength. I find myself able to do my job (linux sysadmin) remotely, but I couldn't see gaming.
Satellite requires a clear view of the southern sky. All the satellites I'm aware of are in geosynchronous orbit around the equator, thus the southern facing requirement. Submitter goes into detail regarding his northern facing hillside dwelling.
Well, you can always get a PCMCIA card from one of the big cell companies (I'm a big fan of Verizon's data network, but ymmv) and just buy an unlimited data plan. If your employer is at all halfway decent, they will be willing to cover half this cost.
If you don't want to do that, you can pay out the nose and have a cable company or telco run out dedicated data lines. They may say they're not willing to do this, but if there's enough technophiles in your area, then you may be able to get them motivated to wire up your area for free, or you can get your neighbors to chip in.
Or perhaps your employer could run a private link to your house and let you use that. Depends on how much they like you and what their IT budget is.
Slashdot Mirror
In case you want to switch distros and not lose all of your data.
At least that's why I do it.
Referring to Steam games as "not having DRM" is sort of funny.
Steam *is* the DRM, although it is an acceptable version thereof in my (and many slashdotters) opinion.
I'm pretty sure that they're counting the "Station Pass" in the active EQ1/EQ2 subscriptions, along with SW:G and the Matrix Online.
Remember, they're only counting subscriptions, not active players, so numbers may be misleading as far as what you see in game.

DVD's aren't the issue, it's the player. When you want to enter in a specific time to jump to in the movie, then the number pad is quite helpful.
(or if you want to unlock the "ultimate" version of Terminator2)
No, that's Blitzavision.
huh? my 360 supports 1080i/p
h.264 can compress this "20-40gb of data" into something that can fit on a dvd-9 without discernible loss of quality, sir.
Not at any costco in the atlanta area you can't, they're not selling standard def tv's around here anymore.
that article is at least 10 years old, if not more... raid hardware has improved, as have hard drives.
I think you missed the point completely.

You can "rent" HD versions of movies from the xbox live marketplace right now. Granted, it's a download, but it's still 1080p hd content.
Most law enforcement budgets have a clause for "emergency funding for investigative purposes"
Comcast's charges don't seem unreasonable either, considering the amount of data they'll have to sift through to provide the information.
black hole routers are not null routes.
black hole routers just drop packets that are "too big"; null routes are self explanatory, and are how most ISP's stop DOS attacks.

large libraries tend to make itunes respond very, very slowly when browsing the collection.
I ran into this when my collection topped 10,000 songs and it only got worse as I added more.
www.portableapps.com is the same thing.
lrn2format, n00b. :P
You should have called a lawyer and sued the judge for not recusing himself from the case due to conflict of interest.
Can't believe I'm replying to an AC..
Itunes can rip to MP3 as well as AAC.
I can't remember where I saw it, but I believe the vast majority of Catholics in the US are registered Democrats as well.
Christ also said "Render unto God what is God's"
You can consider the Church to be doing that, I suppose.
(note: not defending the Church, just sayin... Christ said to pay the government what you owe them)
There were no such beings in Jesus' day, sir.
They were all Jews. He was asked by the Jews if it was legal (according to God's law) for Jews to pay taxes to the Romans.
