  2. Re:I work for an ISP on Music Industry Drafts Code of Conduct for ISPs · · Score: 1

    No, unless the judge spoke to the clerk in some manor indicating his approval. But a subpoena signed by only a clerk is simply a legal stamp that says the right papers have been filed. A clerk signed subpoena can either be followed or squashed. You have to file with the judge to squash the subpoena, but you do have the right to initally reject the subpoena and have a judge review it. While a judge ordered subpoena you simply have to follow, no real review process, though theoretically if its something that can take time (like pulling log files), you could attempt to challenge the subpoena but you'd have to be activly working to follow the subpoena at the same time. On the other hand a search or arrest warrent subpoena is going to happen right then and there, no real fighting it.

    I'm sure you have some numbers of the percent of these cheap modems fail. If the failure rate even in windows is high enough, the conversion to a better modem might be worth it financially as well. Run the numbers, you may be surprised.

    Yes it does, of course its combined to make one molecule, you've have to heat it up real hot to seperate it into its individual components.

  8. Re:Overpriced on Router Built for Gamers · · Score: 1

    Yes, but original Quake (not quakeworld) LAN play network code would soak a hub completly. It was very inefficient code. Quakeworld had a rewrite to the network code which was much, much better.

  9. Re:Good. on China PM Wants to Rule Global Tech With India · · Score: 1

    I always looked at it as an efficiency helper. Like how when computers were comming out all the geeks said, no they won't destroy your jobs, they will just make you more efficient so more can get done cheaper. More is getting done cheaper when you ship it overseas. Produce the food cheap enough, create the technology cheap enough it drives down prices compared to wages where everybody can afford to live doing less work. Now we just need to get land cheaper thats the real hurdle.

    Hey man you try playing quake 1 on a 10Mbps, man that thing sucked some bandwidth. Either way even modern games can eat up 10Mbps if you have multiple people playing on the same LAN. Of course a switch is even better if LAN play is what your after.

    Thanks for the clarification, though I was more disagreing with the poster that said 1500 possible jumps. That would be a jump every 5.214 minutes.

  12. Re:USC on The House Building Machine · · Score: 1

    Mentioning Habitat for Humanity, I always thought the coolest thing would be if they would team up local broadcasters which would broadcast the buildings like the home makeover shows are doing. Then the profits could go to HFH to build more houses. Obviously this would need to be local shows instead of national ones if you really wanted to help as many people as possible. But I know I'd watch :)

    HU?
    Assuming we are using a 24 hour a day, 60 minute an hour clock.
    24*60=1440 minutes a day.

  14. Re:Still laughing - so 50+ years still on Space Elevator Update · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough while the space tether is a good idea, the website makes some inaccurate assumptions. One such assumption us that an elevator car would max out at 100KM/H which would mean that a trip would take 13 days. While most space elevator sights estimate magnetic traction cars could go thousands of KM/H. I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle.

  15. Re:Melts in your space, not on your planet on Space Elevator Update · · Score: 1

    Ah ha, but the time cube is real! Well as real as any other nutty way of viewing things. Basically this guy is insane, and he effectivly came up with the idea of time zones, not knowing that they already exist. Instead of splitting up the earth into 24 time zones he split it into 4. He then tried to explain his idea and when people rejected it not understanding what he was explaining he got frustrated and started to think that there was a great conspiracy to hide this obvious fact of nature.

  16. Re:This is way off topic, but... on S. Korea Considers Using Armed Robots Along DMZ · · Score: 1

    Actually according to a show on the history channel I watched a while back. The US knew that Japan was trying to surrender, but the cold war had already started brewing and Japan was trying to surrender to Russia and not willing to surrender to the US. That would have turned Japan into a Russian colony, something we wern't willing to accept. Thus the continued attacks untill they surrendered to the US.

  17. Re:Robot Apocalypse of Nature is one step closer on S. Korea Considers Using Armed Robots Along DMZ · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not NK and SK arn't blood thirsty for war against eachother. NK would much rather attack Japan with its nukes. NK considers SK its people. They of course do want to take over SK, to "unify the country". Many of the SK also want to unify the country, initially the south was willing to roll over to NK communism untill the US stepped in an stopped them. I've personally been told by a SK that the only thing they fear from the north is an economic collape that would send millions of refugees flooding into the south.
