doesn't time warner provide you with a free or some low cost box to decrypt the newly encrypted local feed? used to be you could just plug the cable into your TV
in first grade there are pre-algebra and problem solving concepts being taught now. at least in my kid's public school last night i had a huge argument with him about the proper strategy to use to solve a problem. i had to google the common core lesson plans to help him
a lot of trucks travel most of their journey by rail and only the last leg by truck. lots of freight rail that transports the trailer part of the truck that is then married with it's driver at a rail head
what is it? like 50kbps or so of bandwidth for $30 or more per month. take that with upselling faster internet which is a scam considering that all the good content is on a CDN inside their network and will stream with the 20mbps service and that the inter-network links will never support the full speed of all the customers. same with comcast, look at the financial statements and upselling the faster internet and phone is pure profit. the TV business makes almost no profit
i have time warner for TV and internet only. i use my AT&T cell phone with unlimited minutes for the phone. every time i call time warner they push their phone service.
jail in the USA will pay you to do work for pay and allow you to get a free college education if you're not a violent person and will follow the rules while in jail
too bad the example in the linked article had multiple robbery convictions prior to being put in solitary and was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder while in prison
risk usually means stupidity like eating crappy food simply because your parents ate it
i see the older generation from my birth country eating all kinds of crap i rarely touch and they are all on all kinds of prescription drugs to control high blood pressure and lots of other problems. meanwhile my wife and i take care of ourselves and people think we look 10 years younger
if you google the stuff they found, its all lifestyle choices fairly good chance that if your blood work is screwed up you aren't taking care of your body
the problem is that these companies have huge campuses on huge plots of land and there is no room in the cities for them unless they build up in skyscrapers google has huge open buildings that let natural sunlight in the old concrete city building need to be lit by fake flourescent light and are cramped
that ARM license just means you can make the same chips ARM designs
Apple and Qualcomm have architecture licenses where they can design their own ARM chips. this is why a 1 GHz A7 CPU performs just as well in real life as a 2GHz samsung CPU. that and designing the software for the instruction set helps too
in the 90s i could see the need for video on the internet its here, been here. i use youtube and netflix on my 20/2 connection what do i need 100 or 1000 for? better video quality? you can do that if netflix pays to install CDN's like every other CDN network does. in theory netflix can set up a home CDN box for people to cache content to use the wires efficiently.
this is the way intel has done it. we had 5GHz CPU's in the 90's. now intel can get more power from half the clock speed by making the architecture more efficient. same with internet, there are lots of ways to make it efficient at current speeds without simply streaming data on demand with no caching
i'm sure you and your precious data have a special relationship. other than some photos, and some documents in dropbox, i don't have any data to back up i'm sure your porn and torrents you rarely watch are precious to you, but you are probably a digital hoarder that just collects this stuff just to have it. porn is free in the cloud and its all the same. wipe it and just watch it from the cloud
$2 billion profit on $64 billion of revenue is not greed, its average profit margins
and i watch TV. i'd rather pay for slower internet and have better content on TV and better ways to access it like live tv on mobile devices and computers. my wife can watch reality tv and i'll watch a game on the ipad in the kitchen
and give google a few years prices will go up as the media companies raise them i'll take it as well if i could but google has no debt unlike every cable company in the USA with tens of billions in debt from past investments
that's about average. nyc i was paying time warner cable $65 for 20/1 for a while. 15 years ago internet only for 1mbps cable would cost you close to $100
and i really can't believe tech people can be so dense. the internet is not your ISP. its not some magical one entity. its hundreds of networks connected together via different business agreements. just because you pay for 12/2 doesn't mean the server or network your linux iso sits on can support that for all their users at once. if you do a traceroute and your linux iso is a dozen hops away across 5 different networks it's not your ISP's fault that its slow.
the concept of CDN's has been around for almost 20 years. positioning content close to the users, and the content people have to pay for it. otherwise having hulu transit over different backbone networks you will never see 20/2. that's the internet. just because you pay 20/2 to comcast or someone else doesn't mean cogent or level 3 can support that for everyone at the same time. and hulu is owned by every big media corporation there is so they should have enough money to buy CDN access. this is why my apple TV rentals look blu ray quality and play without a hiccup on time warner cable. Apple is a huge akamai CDN customer and the content is already on time warner's network for me.
in theory towns can give up exclusive rights but then comcast gets to rip out the internet from the local government offices and schools and the towns will have to pay for access since part of the contract is comcast gives them free internet. republicans hate high taxes. they want others to pay for it
Slashdot Mirror
this is why i can't wait for comcast to buy time warner cable
comcast is always on the streaming list of providers

everyone has had E911 for years now with the IP home phones
you call 911 and they know exactly where to go to
every cell carrier in the USA has unlimited minutes and texts for cell phones
every cell carrier in the USA has been offering unlimited minutes and texts for years now as the baseline features on all their plans

those who have attacked others or have shown to have colluded in harming people outside the prison system?
a lot of these people are bad people and deserve what they get and will never be normal

if you google the stuff they found, its all lifestyle choices
fairly good chance that if your blood work is screwed up you aren't taking care of your body
or you can like, change your lifestyle
its not like this stuff happens magically
this one relies on apps that run in the background and "listen" to touch inputs
since android is multitasking as well i assume it has the same issues
the problem is that these companies have huge campuses on huge plots of land and there is no room in the cities for them unless they build up in skyscrapers
google has huge open buildings that let natural sunlight in
the old concrete city building need to be lit by fake flourescent light and are cramped
those are backed by weapons that will literally turn you into dust
what was gold backed by in the good old days?

yeah, but if pay $20 a month for internet you should upgrade all that like yesterday so netflix can send 50mbps blu ray quality streams to me
