'!E', ie, "there is none that fits the following claim" is a very elementary concept in logic proofs.
You can't take an abstract and limited system like discrete math and apply it directly in the real world, to anything but abstract and limited systems.
Discrete math describes computers, because computers make up their own little abstract and limited universe. It's totally synthetic.
Lacking omniscience, it is impossible to prove, or even show with any force, that something doesn't exist.
The bandwidth broker just facilitates the initial transaction between you and Qwest or whatever provider you choose. After things are up and running, you never deal with them again.
You technically still have an ISP, but Qwest et al isn't going to screw with you, they are selling you a pipe and routing, and that's it. What you do with it from there is all up to you.
Why CAN'T I have my own Pipe, and control access to it Myself? Why do I need an ISP, when all I want is a big fat connection with plenty of speed?
You can, in three easy steps.
1. Start a small business, it's very easy, you don't need to be a corporation or anything, you don't even have to sell anything, just get a bank account with a business name and an EIN.
2. Call up a bandwidth broker like bandwidth.com. They are pretty good as far as following through on your order, and getting the local exchange carrier and the tier 1 ISP coordinated, and off their asses. They backload the fees, you don't pay them anything upfront.
3. Set it up on your end. I recommend a Wanrouter PCI card in a Linux box, it's a little cheaper than cisco hardware, and you get the benefit of being able to firewall directly at the T1, with all the advantages of Linux.
Of course, this will take a couple months, so plan ahead. You might have to fudge it with the credit references for the Tier 1 provider, but if you are persistant enough, or pay a deposit possibly, then they will go through with it. This will cost $500-$1000 a month.
There you go. Your own pipe, all the access you want, and you can resell the bandwidth however you see fit.
Where in the constitution can you assume that or justify that the above is inaliable or even a civil/moral right
Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

EDO was mostly around during late pentium days, I'd be very surprised if any 486 motherboard supported it. Also, there were hardly any 486 boards with PCI, nearly all were pure ISA or VLB/ISA.
I also never saw a 486 motherboard capable of supporting 128 megs of ram, though some specialized server chipsets may be able to.
BTW- I may have spelled it wrong, but the word I was looking for was Coercivity, that is, the property of a material that describes how resistant it is to a change in magnetic field.
Hehe, I don't give out my callsign on here, just in case I piss someone off, but you can find me on #hamradio on opennetworks most evenings EST if you want to chat more. As your topic states, we are burning lots of karma chatting here, if an editor decides to slap this thread down before the story hits the archive.
The Gigs name is actually based on my surname, and has nothing to do with the SI prefix, in relation to bytes or Hertz, but it does make for a neat coincedence. My freshman year PE coach started calling me that because there were like 5 people named Jason in my class.
Heh, I didn't even know there was an NFL player by that name, shows how much I care about sports.:)
Well, back to straightening out ignorant Slashdotters about the workings of RF, us hams got to stick together. (Assuming you are a radio type ham, and not just someone who likes attention).
"Now turn them so that they can see the flowers and books."
Turned, the babies at once fell silent, then began to crawl towards those clusters of sleek colours, those shapes so gay and brilliant on the white pages. As they approached, the sun came out of a momentary eclipse behind a cloud. The roses flamed up as though with a sudden passion from within; a new and profound sigruficance seemed to suffuse the shining pages of the books. From the ranks of the crawling babies came little squeals of excitement, gurgles and twitterings of pleasure.
The Director rubbed his hands. "Excellent!" he said. "It might almost have been done on purpose."
The swiftest crawlers were already at their goal. Small hands reached out uncertainly, touched, grasped, unpetaling the transfigured roses, crumpling the illuminated pages of the books. The Director waited until all were happily busy. Then, "Watch carefully," he said. And, lifting his hand, he gave the signal.
The Head Nurse, who was standing by a switchboard at the other end of the room, pressed down a little lever.
There was a violent explosion. Shriller and ever shriller, a siren shrieked. Alarm bells maddeningly sounded.
The children started, screamed; their faces were distorted with terror.
"And now," the Director shouted (for the noise was deafening), "now we proceed to rub in the lesson with a mild electric shock."
He waved his hand again, and the Head Nurse pressed a second lever. The screaming of the babies suddenly changed its tone. There was something desperate, almost insane, about the sharp spasmodic yelps to which they now gave utterance. Their little bodies twitched and stiffened; their limbs moved jerkily as if to the tug of unseen wires.
"We can electrify that whole strip of floor," bawled the Director in explanation. "But that's enough," he signalled to the nurse.
The explosions ceased, the bells stopped ringing, the shriek of the siren died down from tone to tone into silence. The stiffly twitching bodies relaxed, and what had become the sob and yelp of infant maniacs broadened out once more into a normal howl of ordinary terror.
"Offer them the flowers and the books again."
The nurses obeyed; but at the approach of the roses, at the mere sight of those gaily-coloured images of pussy and cock-a-doodle-doo and baa-baa black sheep, the infants shrank away in horror, the volume of their howling suddenly increased.
"Observe," said the Director triumphantly, "observe."
Not to stick my nose in, but he is running this story to cover his ass too. He doesn't want some government agency to assume he was ordering high-tech night vision equipment and shipping them to the middle east.
That is a good idea, and I have already told the site owner that a lot of distros are multi-cd now. He seems to think that the CDs after the first one are always optional. That may be true if you don't install X or anything but a very basic system.
I sent him about 5 copies of Red Hat 7.1 when it was out, and he did send them out as 2 CD sets, I think. I also sent him $10 to cover extra shipping charges, if any.
You really should write him though, maybe if enough people write him, he will change the way the site works. I don't have any affiliation with the site, I just like it a lot.
was that you couldn't duplicate data with the Curie-point process since the transitions were too closely spaced
Doesn't the coersivity (I forgot whether that is the real word for it or not) of the media play a role in that? It may be that these tapes are a whole different ball game, that would allow such things to be done.
I do agree with you though, I highly doubt they are going to be able to just stick these into the same machines they are doing VHS in, for the same reason.
people being shot, mugged, raped and generally fucked over so whats wrong with putting up the cameras if they help prevent it, or at least track down the guilty person afterwards.
People are shot, raped, beat up, get drunk, get high, write anti-government essays, organize terrorist activities, and plan revolutions all from their own private homes! So what's wrong with putting up the cameras in everyone's house, if it helps prevent it, or at least track down the guilty person afterwards?
Einstein, Tesla, Dr Kary Mullis, and about a million other researchers and inventors would love to kick your face in if you said their work wasn't the result of their creative efforts.
Krispy Kreme was going after people who were buying their doughnuts at the factory outlet in one town and then driving to nearby towns that had no Krispy Kreme access, and selling the doughnuts on the side of the road.
Don't ask me on what grounds, I have no idea, but the philosophy is definitely that consumer items can only be sold once, and never again.
This is an interesting moderation, after all, what if the truth is "flamebait"? I say lets just drop all moderation modifiers, after all, do you really notice whether a comment is +5 Insightful, or if it is +5 Informative?
There are only really three moderations that even have any meaning, Funny and Offtopic. All the rest are used as generic positive and negative moderations.
That is a novel way of looking at things, at least I had never seen it explained that way before.
I have seen the "mark of the beast" claimed in many ways though. Some people at my plant believed that ISO 9001 is the mark of the beast, because without it, commerce is more difficult.
It's difficult to say who's wrong and who's right, when applying imagery like this to real world situations.

You are correct. That doesn't mean it isn't a right.
Think about the economic effects of all highways having unregulated tolls,
Yeah, people who never drive would never have to pay for something they don't use. Sounds like a good deal to me.

"Put them down on the floor."
The infants were unloaded.

First off, it's "a lot".
Secondly, did you ever think about what you are saying? "Profit sharing" is the same damn thing as royalties.
