Currently I have cable Internet from cox.net and cable TV but my upload speed is always around 20 KBytes/sec which is very slow and from what I hear, it is because cox is limiting the upload speed. A cable modem 10 times as fast as the current speed would be nice as a base network but when will they be able to provide you that speed?
Will the cable companies actually be able to pay for their backbone bandwidth if they provide us more bandwidth? Excite didn't prove it but hopefully just because they were a little bit ahead of the time.
Bandwidth prices for dedicated speed to backbones are very high.
A T3 costs ~20000$/month and thats 45 mbps.
Yeah, they can let 500 customers share their 45mbps T3 and be able to turn a small profit but 45mbps/500 users = 92kbps so every user gets only 92 kbps dedicated bandwidth. That's nothing if you consider you have 10Gbps running into your home.
Why is bandwith at the backbone level so expensive when so many research papers prove it can be done for cheaper? Who is pricing that stuff?
Using basic electrical properties of category-five cable students may use their measurements to determine the speed of light in the vacuum to within a few percent
How does his happen? Don't you have to take in consideration processing of the response?
"Enable the blind to read legally obtained e-books"
The concept is fantastic and elcom soft would have a open market all over the world for this product if they win the case.
It would really help for them to win otherwise blind people would have to use illegal instruments to be able to read books and they could all go to jail.
Maybe the American Foundation for the Blind would have to say something about this and make the case stronger because after all every seven minutes somebody in America will become blind or visually impaired.
The system uses VM as a base but has multiple instances of SuSE running. It is able to run up to 10000 instances of Linux which makes it a data center in a box.
There is no bus and the communication between the processor banks, memory,... are switched.
First time I've seen it my eyes jumped out of the sockets.
No they need to change the law in Arizona so they won't close all the gps locatable beer locations at 1 AM since the GPS reading might become misleading.
But American history is crammed with technological innovations that are neither discussed nor much thought out. Drone Wars might not appear so terrible. They might even become irresistible.
Drone Wars are already irresistible. A lot of people including myself enjoy watching BattleBots.
Just picture the 200 lbs Nightmare running after Bin Laden. Nice picture huh?
Intel is not advertising XP comaptibility of their Celeron.
Celerons do work really good with XP from my previous experience but they didn't post it on their compatibility list.
Celeron Compatibility: Fully compatible with an entire library of PC software based on operating systems such as MS-DOS*, Windows* 3.1, Windows for Workgroups* 3.11, Windows 98, Windows 95, OS/2*, UnixWare*, SCO UNIX*, Windows NT, Windows 2000, OPENSTEP*, and Sun Solaris*.
This seems like a bad busniess model. If they have a lot of people downloading music from one server farm their bandiwth bill will be a nightmare.
And on top pay the artists too? What'll be the price for a subscrition to them? 100$/month?..
Would you be able to find anything you want on there?
The only good thing is that this will help them avoid the record industry and new artists or new albums could get better exposure andvertised by Napster but who cares when you have so many peer 2 peer options where you can find what you want...
IE6 is a big junk anyways. I completely gave up on it. Even though I'm running XP, it forced me to get Netscape and forunatley for me this issue won't affect me.

They should package and sell the plug-ins they created because they made a lot of them, to make Final Fantasy possible.
That hair plug-in could be a very hot item.
You don't need to travel a lot when all you do computer animation because you don't have to capture real images.
They picked Hawaii because the surf is good.
The movie wasn't bad.
I really enojoy the movie but the story line and the acting is childish and silly.
I want to see a CG movie with a story line and acting (talking,...) like Deus Ex, for mature audiences. Thoes movies would be more succesfull.
I'm disapointed to read this news.
Cool, I might start to cook now
This article states they will switch to linux, which doesn't necessarily mean Intel PCs.
I'd rather have a IBM Zseries 900, running an open source OS such as Linux then have any sun server.
The reasons for that are:
- IBM Zseries is faster and more scalable then any Sun server
- IBM Zseries can run multiple instances of Linux at once
- Sun's OS Solaris is closed source.

Sell that extra kidney you have till it's still worth something.
I didn't try to offend anybody but im my small little brain containg one brain cell I figured that I'd measure the speed of light with light.
Using basic electrical properties of category-five cable students may use their measurements to determine the speed of light in the vacuum to within a few percent

And why aren't they using fiber optics for this?
Speed of light + /. = 0
Ouch

I tried to post this article last week but it seems like I did something wrong because it got rejected.
My company purchased one for web hosting

oh yeah, after you buy his Ferrari you might have a chance ;)
Today I jost got a threatening message from Pixar (The makers of Monsters, Inc.), threatening me with a lawsuit for sharing copyrighted material.
What would you do in this situation?
Can they track my IP?
Does this mean I could have this cool new mac and run Windows apps on it without having to emulate MS windows?

The guy got more publicity now then he imagined.
I'll hire him to fight with my girlfriend.
I'm curious who's going to make more hair move then Final Fantasy. After all, that is the ultimate effect I've seen so far.

Sounds like a take out of the movie "Red Planet".
