user experience? faster is always better. 10Gbit>1Gbit>100MBit>10Mbit>1Mbit. Always. Just because your limited imagination can't understand why doesn't make it so. Plus your making horrible assumptions: The user will only connect to a single source at a time - wrong. The more bandwidth you have, the more transfers/apps/whatever you can have running at once. Download a linux iso in 5 seconds while watching a hd movie on netflixs, etc. Share multiple computers in the same household at full speed. Rsync a remote backup at full speed. 1 gbit is ~120meg/sec, 2gbit is 240meg/sec which is still slower than what an ssd can provide.
only after the united states was destroyed first. Funding would come too late. Everything is always reactionary. Show me something that's political that was well thought out prior to the issue becoming a reality.
So i guess people don't turn on a great many devices in their own homes in a "certain way"? It's been happening since electricity was commercialized and sold. It's called brown outs. Last time i checked, the grid isn't a smoldering mess because of it.
uhh..... There are two kinds of SDRs, fixed and programmable. I sincerely doubt they're using programmable solutions on a cell phone chipsets. That would mean there could be universal X band cellphones with no restrictions on bands or signalling algorithms (HSPA+, LTE, etc all in one). Hell they would do that in a heart beat and just have custom covers with specific antennas for the frequencies in the back cover. No, if they're using software solutions, it's for cost savings and it's definitely fixed. You can put together kits for fixed SDRs on the cheap (less than 50$) for a whole range of frequencies. That was like 7 years ago on the ham side of things. Now a days i wouldn't be surprised in an integrated solution on chip being in phones already. What another poster said about out of band signaling and encoding... i guess it could be done in a lab, but i mean, that's like trying to send up a microwave signal by flicking your light switch on and off. Sure it could be done, but reliably in real world conditions? Very doubtful, and the signal would be noisy and extremely low power. If the object is to override messages, you'll need something with a SNR higher than the signal that you're overriding. I suppose proximity would help but still, very iffy.
Sorry, but to have a android device that can transmit and receive ACARS is close to impossible. Might as well take android out of the equation. I guess it could be possible to take a software radio and any mobile platform (windows, ubuntu tablet, raspberry pi, android, ios) and make it capable of receiving and sending out altered ACARS messages since i'm fairly sure the system has no encryption built in, but i dunno. Hijacking seems to be a stretch.
You know what distracts me the most while driving? Looking for speed limit signs, looking at my current speed limit on my dash. I'd say those two activities far outweighs just about everything else other than watching where i should be going and other drivers. Sometimes i look at my gps to figure out the road's speed limit because i'm unfamiliar with the road or i haven't seen a sign in a while. That's my biggest distraction. If someone thinks when i'm stopped at a light if i touch my phone if that's somehow going to contribute to someone dying, then they're insane.
Actually bullies are evil kids, who's purpose of making other's miserable is trying to make themselves feel better. Sure the root causes stem from a multitude of different things, but kids in general do not think of the consequences of their actions like *most* adults do. Teaching a bully to treat others like they want themselves treated is an exercise in futility. What makes bullying worse is how it's widely ignored, as if the problem doesn't exist and it will go away. As you can see from many many tales, it escalates until real damage is done, thus making it worse. Either you adopt a culture where bullying isn't tolerated and focus on the root problems or you allow the kids to resolve their issues with a simple fight.
They said CEOs and venture capitalists. Let me take a gander at what their solution will be: Open H1Bs with no limits since we can't find qualified people Pay them dirt cheap. Fire all local staff. Hire more managers. All in all, business as usual.
Ok so what is the average tax return that the feds get from individuals? Lets say 2k, which isn't a lot, but i figure the average salary of 37k - 10k deductable = ~27k taxable. At 2012 tax bracket rules, that's around 15%, so 4050. At this level lets say there's some dependents and deductions, so i'll take half of that. Roughly 2k. So 140,494,127 * 2000 = 280,988,254,000. Lets just subtract those wages of those pesky irs agents. You're left with 274188254000. Ok so you'll have a salary savings of 6.8 billion, but will be reducing the tax income of the gov't by 274 billion. Not i'm not saying i agree with how things are, but why in the hell would you want to lose 274 billion if you were the gov't? Your math stinks. You can't look at cutting costs without seeing what it affects.
Sometimes doing the right thing is risky, but it weighs on your conscious a little less. Sure his life is basically a lot of turmoil now, but it exposes a broken judicial system. So in return for having AT&T and the justice dept ruin his life, we might be able to focus on this broken system and help get it repaired once and for all.
If you find my key under a rock in my backyard, it is still theft if you break into my house with it and steal things.
But if i hand you a camera, you go and take pictures of all your credit cards and hand the camera back to me, is that a crime? Lets be real here. There was no house, there wasn't a door, there was no security at all. There was no theft, no loss of property. Just a company caught with it's pants down giving out it's customer's sensitive information. Sure, you had to know where to go to get the information, but that doesn't change anything. If there was an ATM giving away free cash and someone had the smart idea to just ask for all it's cash at once, would he be guilty of a crime? I'd say no. Apparently prosecutors and judges who think internet are like tubes think otherwise.
Being fit = going to the gym and actively working on your body to stay in shape. Losing weight, staying in a healthy weight range is not fit. Saying you don't want to put any effort into getting/staying fit is a sure fire way to make sure you're never fit. You do need to exercise, you do need to make time for it, you do need to make it a priority. There is no quick easy way out of it.
Here in the US, several "State Highways" are single lane roads that travel through a small town's center. They're also usually are preceded by a huge dip in speed (from 55/45 to 35/25) by a small discrete sign on the side of the road, almost always with police sitting in a car right next to the sign. It's obviously a sham used to catch unsuspecting drives from out of town just traveling across the state. I don't know why they're complaining about some camera that's automating tickets, and instead of the speed dips at the locations where the speed limit is reduced to a crawl from a decent pace.
So what you're saying is that the constitution and the bill of rights do not apply to US citizens who are outside of the US? Somehow the rule of law only applies inside it's borders and someone can mark you for death with a simple signature? How about a 16 year old child? No seriously, i would love to hear how you feel about this. Why in any shape or form is this "OK"? Enemy combatants in a warzone is one thing. People who have never even shot at Americans who are 8000 miles away in a country that we are not at war with... yeah sorry, i don't put that in the same category as you do apparently. But planning you say? Thought crime? Yup, i can see how that deserves death. Totally.
and since then, there's been a whole lot of improvements. Sure, chips are still packaged as quad core since that seems to be the best bang for the buck in terms of processing power, but efficiency has gone increasingly higher, cache has increased, speed has increased a lot. Sure games aren't pushing cpus as much, because there's not much to push it in. Back in the day video cards didn't have gpus and the ones that were out were really strained and relied a lot on the cpu. So of course when video cards have been increasingly getting better the work that the cpu had to do has been decreasing. Would you still buy a q6600 today? No. Does that mean you don't need a new i5-3570K? Depends, do you need a new computer? you can probably get away with your q6600 for a while. But if you were in the market for a new one, you'd probably get today's equivalent. And you would probably notice the difference of speed.
Why does it cost 10s of millions to make a game? I've seen indie games like minecraft or terarria or a bunch of kickstarter games like FTL be very successful and actually fun to play rather than the latest COD15 or madden 2531 clones or remakes that have high production values. I don't think games that are budgeted like Hollywood movies are the only ones i would consider games. What i don't like is after you charge 50$ you then charge extra for things like new content. Especially zero day released DLCs. Basically what you did was rip out things that should of been in the game and then charged people extra for it on release. Back in the good old days, missing or new content was just given with new patches and there was no charge for them.
Wait, who is the enemy here? Last time i checked, the only possible fit for the enemy in this whole scenario is the public. It embarrasses many officials who were doing things or saying things they shouldn't have been. I don't see any standard description of an enemy that could have benefited from any of the leaks. The only thing that makes sense is public opinion and backlash again shady dealings.
maybe some people with more intimate knowledge of the law can help me out here. By what laws can constitutionally guaranteed rights be supersede by military law?
Why does stock prices have anything to do with anything? Some virtual number that you amount to success that has more to do with the psychology of what people think something is worth? I'd say Nintendo is a much stronger company overall than facebook. They own their little piece of the market and they're fine with that. Not everyone is looking for gross profits or short term growth, but in the long term i think they're still going to be around 20 years from now.
I can see it now: The new ultra eco car! We combine the best of renewable energy sources and create the worlds most energy efficient car! Why stop at one alternative source of energy when more than a dozen is better(tm)! our hybrid gas/electric/diesel motor is outfitted with solar cells, ultra capacitors, flywheels, molten salt batteries, spin batteries, lithium paper batteries, carbon nanotube batteries. Our solar cells are straight from 5 year old Chinese geniuses who provide us with 47% efficiency! They split light using a fresnel lenses to wavelength specific silicon based nano tube pv arrays for optimal efficiency! Now out for 2013, our hybrid engine can now use methane! Own a herd of cows? Live near a fracking plant? Now you too can turn on your tap water and pump the methane directly to your car!
sorry but if he knows the company is not headed for better times, why should he hold onto stock that is just sitting there being devalued? But somehow if he's smart and sells it knowing it won't get better, he's somehow all angsty and trying to get back at management?
I dunno. I seems too fucking hard to legislate some common sense? OR use common sense when applying laws? The problem is using prosecution to further your political career which is what these people are doing and completely ignoring the fact that you're at the same time ruining lives. So i get it, they did wrong, but the wrong they did didn't harm anyone, didn't cause irrevocable damage, even in some cases the complainers of the damages asked charges to be dropped. Why do you feel the need to railroad them with the maximum possible punishment? Far too long people have been ok with turning the legal system into a way that destroys people. There is no way for the common man to defend themselves without going bankrupt. In many cases even if you win, you're a huge loser. Your life savings are gone and you can't even counter sue for damages. The whole other aspect of this is that the system has been simplified into a simple logic game. Has the person broken a law? If so, apply maximum damages and see what sticks. The system imo is broken when a common man gets ruined when trying to defend themselves. The system is broken when regardless of the severity, maximum punishment is applied for the promotion of one's career or for profit prison system. The system is broken when the amount of wealth a person or group of people has is equivalent to the amount of punishment they'll receive.
