I was raised with a combination of public school and home school and self taught. The most advanced electrical class was how to read an analog Watt Hour Meter. My dad did more for my technical education by providing erector sets at younger ages and electronic components, hand tools, soldering iron, etc at an older age.
When I went into the military, I opted for the advance electroncis program. The first class was called BEEP Basic Electricity and Electronics Prep. I challanged the class on moved on. Already knew basic DC and AC theory. Later sat the ISCET exam and received my Journeyman certification. This combination of self taught in a supportave environment and military school and certification is worth the same as a degree to employers. I have no student loans.
Penn and Teller have a nice video out showing how one in a croud is relatively protected, but when a large population is not vaccinated and an outbreak happens the damage is large.
Also check out WIDI. CLEAR is in the area. The local ISP's can provide a drop for a fee to feed a few WIFI hotspots. Cell capacity has limits for large festivals. Use alternatives when possible.
FYI, check the local thrift shops for used CLEAR modems. Monthly service is possible. Combined with a 2nd hand wireless router, the modem and router can often be operated just fine on a 12 volt battery.
All you need to track a phone is the ability to spoof a tower such as a microcell while the direct connection is broken by being underground. Easly captured is the phone's electronic serial number along with the info from the SIM card such as the subscriber number and user's mobile number.
FUD may indicate you can read all this, with photos, texts, contact lists, etc. You can't read memory with the memory powered off. Some phones do remain on even when turned off as evidenced by iPhone roaming charges on cruise ships while off and stored in luggage. This is an exception to normal off is off for phones.
I guess that is why the original gen 1 prius battery is pretty much fixed at 2299.95. Only rebuilders that buy Gen !! cells can offer batteris at a lower price.
If there is a refund, I guess I would be elegible twice. Once for the original car purchase and once for the replacement battery.
The article is on face value self admitted FUD. If, maybe, possibly. Due to the lack of hard facts, the article is raising concerns of what might be happening.
Has anyone tried to use one of the phones hands on? I had the oppertunity to try one of the earlier Intel phones, but not the new one, so I don't have a comparison between the older Intel phone and the newer one. A benchmark between the new and older model would be interesting. I know how the older Intel phone works. It worked very well. The only issue of concern with the older phone was the limitations on the radio. Since Intel purchased the portfloio from Motorolla, I expect the big improvements will be in the radio technology. With SOC designs, benchmarking end user app space is tricky at best as software modem, graphics, etc are all sharing processor cycles.
Overall, I really liked the Intel Phone.
The big expected performance gains are in battery life as much physical hardware is replaced with software on a processor that has the headroom to do the processing on less power.
Ice floats because it is less dense than water. I ice melts and becomes water. A floating object displaces it's mass in water.
Are any of the above statements not true?
So if a floating ice shelf floats off and melts turning into water, it will only become the volume of water it was displacing.
Only if it was not floating and slid into the sea would it have added volume to the sea. There is no sea rise unless ice that is NOT floating goes into the sea displacing additional water. Ice already displacing water by floating will not rise sea levels by melting.
Home experiment. Fill a glass with ice to the rim. Fill with water to the rim so the ice floats above the rim. Many who do not know the above principals will swear the melting ice will overflow the glass. In reality the ice melts and turns to water so melted ice of the same weight as the floating ice now occupies the space in the glass that used to contain ice. The level does not rise except for some thermal expansion of warming water and condensed water from the air if the humidity is at a higher dewpoint than the melting temperature of water.
A Motorolla trunked radio system consists of a pool of repeaters. A single repeater is placed into the control for the repeater site. On failure of the computer, all the repeaters switch over to a failover mode and become simple repeaters. All talkgroups vanish and all communications are shared by the repeater the radios have been assigned to. If properly assigned the dispatch and patrol should be all on one repeater. A second radio in the dispatch should be on another repeater along with top level "staff" communications.
Upon failure of an entire radio site due to power failure, antenna catastrophic failure, etc, then the backup site should kick in.
A poorly managed radio system will have radios assigned to repeaters at random. I have seen this, so when failover happens, teams can't talk to each other as they are not on the same repeater and other services are blended in so some patrols and some fire may be on the same repeater and some may be on another with no communication between repeaters.
This poor management happens when the person laying out the system is suddenly downsized and someone without knowledge of the plan has to add or replace radios and have no idea want the default radio assignments should be so they are assigned at random.
Don't flood the plate with IR. Simply having a very bright IR ring around the plate will cast the plate in darkness in the contrast game. This may make plate detection for OCR fail to acquire the plate. In the world where the brightest object was the reflective plate, it is now the plate frame, casting the plate in relative darkness.
Illumination for your rear view camera is legal. Simply mounting an IR illuminated back up camera next to the plate may be effective at night and not be an obvious attempt at foiling ANR.
I have an account set up just to troll scammers. I reply for all my Lottery Winnings, Inheritance, Money Transfer, etc. It's linked to all my fake banks accounts.

A proxy is OK, but best done from a connection other than your home network. A random hotel lobby works wonders. Don't use the same machine with a GUID the same as you would use at home.

The PWM is high frequency to be "Flicker Free" in the light source. I am surprised nobody has discussed the LCD in front of the light source. They are not a DC device. The twist on the crystal fades if not refreshed. Faster crystals for lag free screens simply fade faster so they can be refreshed faster for less video lag. Older LCD displays had a backplane square wave of about 30 HZ with a long fade time so they didn't flicker much, but the motion smeared. The blame may be the faster LCD displays. Unless the poster is needing a gaming monitor, the fix may be as simple as switching to a less expensive slower display.
Whenever I get issues with content delivery, I call the tech dept of my ISP. If they fail to fix it, I become part of the churn data. This is why I am no longer a Comcast customer. They were caught dropping connections and bringing some services to a standstill.
My last slowdown with my current provider wasn't their fault. A neighbor cracked my older weak encryption and saturated my connection. It pays to check your router's lights. Changed SSID, encryption, and password and the problem was fixed on the spot.
Will it be able to include Hulu and Netflix? If not, I suspect the sales of a single supplier solution for content and hardware will limit it's target demographic. Customers are not looking for another monthly subscription.
For a while Intel did have a streaming service where they provided services for media companies. It steamed the Rush Limbaugh show for a while and other talk radio. The old media services center was on a good fat pipe in Hillsboro Oregon with a link into the backbone in the Qwest hub. If they do provide service, they know how to get a good backbone connection.
As far as 5 cables running into a home, how many homes consume enough content to justify the cables at $50-150/month each. I pay for just internet, bundled with pots to get the discount. The POTS is stripped bare, eg no long distance, as these legacy items have been way surpassed by other survice providers in value. I have 4 other sources of no fee long distance so paying the incumbant their prices for it is a waste of money.

When did you last try this? I found the Opposite true. Unlike Windows, you can try a Live CD or DVD (or ISO on thumb drive) and try it before installing.
Don't belive the lable on the box. Much of the Windows only Hardware works great with Linux. I even booted and tested Linux on a new Windows 8 Lenovo Yoga Ultrabook. Multi-touch screen worked fine. I suspected it would be a problem. This was a nice surprise. I use Linux regularly to boot unbootable crashed Windows PC's and Laptops to save user data before doing a Windows Recovery which destroys user data. Not many laptops have problems with any hardware. Sometimes sound is an issue and sometimes Wireless does not work out of the box, but that is most often an easy fix. Google it.
I use Logitech USB headsets. I use Guitar Hero USB Microphones. I use Microsoft Sidewinder USB Joysticks. I use several brands of Bluetooth USB Dongles. Most USB printers including Fax and Multifunction devices work. I don't even need to download drivers for older ones like you do for Windows (Via Windows Update). I had to Google how to install an older printer in Windows 8 LOL.
Windows still needs to fix a couple of items that only a few users see.
1 Assuming you are connected 24/7.. I travel and do presentations. Who ever decided that some product including Windows should not bother checking for an active connection before interrupting a presentation for an update. You have seen it.. In a meeting and some pop up shows up on the big screen for some update.. Why??
2 Is closely related. Assuming you are the administrator.. I deal with this on Windows 7 at work to be specific. I am NOT the administrator. I have a several month old Flash update with only two choices. Install or Remind me later. Why can't the Administrator push the update with the rest of the background updates instead of prompting me for something I can't do? The Windows updates are done in the background with little intervention on my part except running the security checker.
Linux in the versions I use have this right. If I am logged in as a Normal user, I don't get prompts for updates. Same if I am not online. Linux is my OS of choice for presentations. I log into Administrator to do Administrative tasks. If I get a pop up for an Update while a User, I know it's a malware attack in the browser. Real updates are not presented to Non-Administrators.

How different is this than Netflix or Hulu, other than the inclusion of a set top box? Many smart TV's now include Netflix and Hulu capibilities.
The question is will Intel license the tech to TV manufactures to include it along with Netflix and Hulu. If so, what is the future of a dedicated settop box along the lines of Boxee? http://www.amazon.com/Boxee-D-Link-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B0038JE07O
