Comcast is starting to roll out DOCSIS 3 which is supposed to offer +171.52 (+152) Mbit/s downloads and +122.88 (+108) Mbit/s uploads. I'm sure that TW isn't too far behind.
This is what stops them, if we actually start using effective encryption to stop AT&T form snooping on us, then we also stop AT&T's silent partner, the NSA, from snooping on us as well! They will never allow this so obviously AT&T is fishing for some boon from the government; of course I'm just some know nothing geek blowing smoke out his ass.
I'd have thought that their network would have had much more capacity than that, their biggest line is an OC 192 and that's just on the NY-DC link; most of it is OC48's!
When your are buying at that level, you pay for a "Pipe" that will deliver 1 Mbs and there are 9,331,200,000 seconds in a month, 1,048,576 = 10,259,762,901,103,411,200,000 bits or 1,282,470,362,638 GB per 30 day month whether you use them or not. An ISP has to buy enough to satisfy peak demands, this can be done by
Why Time Warner Telecom is a tier 2 network provider, if they play nice bandwidth should be dirt cheep through peering arrangements with other tier2's.
Are you serious or is that just speculation? Both, but these things are just huge ugly metal cabinets outside where they get too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. If your serious then Wow! God Americans are stupid.;) yes indeed we've had some towns ban dihydrogen monoxide as a hazardous chemical!
If that is what they were doing I would be more generous, but they are advertising unlimited high-speed and they are blocking 24/7. If it were just during peak usage periods then I'd consider it network management because I'd be getting unlimited high-speed most of the time rather than none of the time.
Yeah I agree, the plot was too deep for people like you. A lot of the effects were done just because they could be done as well, so it really wasn't too different form major studio stuff there.
The batteries go in metal boxes scattered around most towns and are about 1M wide, 2M tall and about 2m long and they contain equipment to convert from optical fiber to copper for voice and DSL. Most people in the US live too far from the central office for DSL so the teleco's made mini-CO. The enviro-Nazi's would have a field day over lead-acid screaming "OOOHH, heavy metal, poison the kiddies, think of the children" and the "proper disposal" fees might make them more expensive per watt/hr of capacity.
The Lithium itself is nasty stuff, but it's necessary to get the power densities needed, something that powerful is that powerful. The alternative is two have somebody try and call 911 and have a dead battery on the phone system.
You know for as picked on and paranoid as we Americans have often felt, it's scary how much of a anglophone party this is turning into; are we become the new French or are we there already?
and in 6 months, when myspace is a bankrupt shell of itself some judge will order its assets liquidated to satify its obligations, and one of those items will be the database of 15 million Email addresses for people like Roskey to bid on.
Nah this will work, for Myspace.com, it's just that all of the sweet little urchins will move to Alt.com instead.
Seriously I think scanning the servers for porn will hurt them, a large minority of people use myspace as a hookup site or for an exhibitionist/voyeur get together site and they will be the ones moving to someplace more appropriate, this could be an income oppertunity for someone. From what I'm hearing in radio ads, match.com is trying to be more "facebook-ish" or "myspace-ish". This strongly hints that there is a market out there for a site like that.
Stormfront is a resource for those courageous men and women fighting to preserve their White Western heritage, ideals and freedom of speech and association.
is more closely aligned with the shit running out of his mouth than that typically found on slashdot.
Stormfront is owned by Don Black, a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who was a member of the American Nazi Party in the 1970s.[2][1]In 1981, Black was arrested as he prepared to board a boat stocked with weapons and ammunition to invade Dominica in what he and his accomplices dubbed Operation Red Dog. Black was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in the attempted invasion. He created the website after receiving his first computer training in prison.[3] Stormfront (website)
Someone will have to explain how artificially limiting your market to those least able to pay makes ANY sense whatsoever.
Well the North American market is certainly able to absorb considerable numbers of educational computers at profit points far higher than XO generates; and as long as Intel was on OLPC's board as a partner, OLPC seemed to just not market in NA except for the "buy one, gift one free" deal. Intel after having broken it's non-disparagement agreement with OLPC, actively attempting to undermine sales agreements with OLPC, and finally pulling out of their partnership with OLPC, is finding that now OLPC intends to compete with them. The XO from OLPC certainly made sense as an entry level device, with Intel's offering fitting the more profitable mid-level and eventually even getting a crack at selling a few full featured laptops to late high schoolers and college students. Now Intel has hurt themselves because they have dissociated themselves for OLPC and lost "brand loyalty" there, and have acquired a lot of bad karma due to their naughtiness and bad form in these dealings. This will break the natural upgrade path to Intel hardware, and it is now logical for OLPC to start thinking about an upgraded version to take on Intel's entry level market.
Sooner or later someone from Intel is going to have to explain to the shareholders how their underhandedness in a barely-break-even market niche, has induced a non-profit to move into a profitable niche as a direct competitor; in the Army we called this "Stepping on your foreskin".
I think kids need some highly structured learning time and also need some loosely structured learning time. An internet connected computer is ideal for students to moodle around a topic during loosely structured learning time. Having the computer doesn't replace a competent teacher it necessitates it; anyone can resent a highly structured rigid lesson plan to a class, but teaching with students on computers and connected to the internet requires the teach to be an agile thinker.
The funny think is I think if I were doing the hiring that anyone that looked too skinny would be passed over, the biggest disservice that our schools have done is Dxing half the kids with ADDS. It's amazing how many were weened from the tit to Mountain Dew in a sippy cup, then the schools add in Ritalin. Now we wonder why they are impatient!
Most of us were pretty anxious to get the hell out of high school and all of the cliquish bullshit, so what kind of a person would you expect to want to spend a career there?

So how many times can they "taste" the same domain name?
