Clearly in that it supports 8 Wifi connections it could run them a lot of data. I see this as an option for small offices and remote productions (TV, sports, catering, etc.) where a team is in a remote location and everyone has wifi devices.. the boss brings an Evo (has to plug it in or go through a few batteries) but everyone gets' internet... worth the 30.00
You maybe be locked into a contract to have the service with Sprint but you are able to change your plan during the contract period or so I've been led to believe by talking to the Sprint support staff.
I think it would be hard to do something completely open sourced that also had very strong privacy built in. Some sort of distributed Shamir Sharing coming to mind... As for Facebook people will vote with their feet or not..
They hit the Marines in Beirut when Regan was President and he cut and ran.. and that seems to have set the tone that American's would never stand and fight. Today we know that isn't true but it's taken a few other Presidents and a whole lot of blood to prove that American's are not cowards. But I wish people would see that there is strength in pursuit of the path of Peace and that not fighting sometimes takes more courage than to fight.
Most battles over technology are deep in nerd, geek and boffin space...
But Apple with customers from all over the creative space know, create and use flash all the time. It's not something that causes their eyes to glaze, but rather causes them to be enraged when they hear the news...
So while Jobs can lobby senior management at any company to adopt other technology or limit themselves to Apple approved technology, he is devaluing the skill set (flash) that many of his best customers count among their best skills.
If he is going to take it away he really needs to replace it with something just as easy, just as fun, just as simple to use.. or he risks losing his best customers.
If Apple thinks they can swap creative customers for adoption by the broader general public I think that is a hard bet to win. The are winning the broader public because creative types endorse Apple and it's products without that endorsement there is a problem.
Given in the next few 1000 years of human life on earth we might have to heat or cool depending on conditions we should have non polluting options for both..
Forced genetic mods would be wrong and the Deaf community wants to preserve deaf-culture so that should be considered.. that is just asking the patient.
But in terms of curing color blindness, let's do it, and I want the 4 coned' color that some women have (most women and all men have 3 color sight (RGB) I want four color:)
The phone plus my netbook, when traveling will be great, I don't have to worry about bad broadband in hotels or hotels that want to charge $10 a night for Broadband.
Then at home, like last week when we lost power for 55 hours.. I could have some shot at some net-access during the outage.. I usually keep a few extra batteries around.. I know I wouldn't get 55 hour of access but with 2 extra batteries if I could get 3+ hours that would be great.
I could also use it out in the yard the same way and not worry about where WIFI reaches and doesn't reach..
This seems like a back room deal. Google unfilters (and moves to Hong Kong, which is still China), and China blocks traffic to the main land as it so decides with its great firewall.. the net result is the same as before and both sides win.
I think anything is possible.. and there there is always the possibility of just being lazy... but I think the net result of this is more hostility between the US and China; even though it's been "cleared up" there is sorta of a harmonic effect that the idea that the Chinese are attacking the US power grid is out there... perhaps some benefit from that increase in hostility.
You say "there no way for [Wortzel] to judge" the situation. Which seems untrue, unless you are saying that Wortzel is unqualified to discuss or provide analysis of this type of research. He certainly could of looked at the Journal itself and seen what else was in there. He certainly could have talked to others non-Chinese researchers BEFORE talking to Congress.
The fact that the article was in a Journal and published say in a Taliban newsletter should have been at least a starting point; not a point to jump off into the dark..
I think the real trick is getting outside the gravity well.
Then you can use chemical, nuclear, solar plus "stealing momentum from other celestial bodies" to build up to some decent speed whereby you could, I would assume, make good use of this so called Hyperdrive.
In terms of slowing down, I don't think any trick is needed, clearly all these things we used to gain speed could be used to help us lose it. E.g., slow down with a solar sail, give momentum to other celestails bodies, then use your limited on board fuel to "limp" into orbit (and become the overlords of some other planet)...
Of course the TCP/IP stack is older than XP. Perhaps they built one from scratch or maybe they bought someone's and extended it.
Now, I understand over time code can get really wonky and have lots of odd bits of cruft that are under documented and all of that.
Given the importance of I/O, Com and Net Access you woud think that MS's TCP/IP stack would have been coded by the brightest of the bright and following all best practices, etc. they would have well crafted, well documented and even beautiful code, if you will.
Microsoft hires a lot of really smart people. The hard cold reality is to retain this people they need to let them do actually interesting things. Since the products are not so interesting they need to let the staff do all this R&D to retain them. Other companies doing more interesting and cutting edge work don't have as much of a problem in this area.
In a world of government planning don't buck the plan..
Only trolling here but... its just proof that Government knows best and once you start down that rood to, "Government please help us out here..." these types of externalities do impinge on government economic planning and such rulings help strengthen the rule of law and prevent miss use of scarce government resources (your $$).
It seems correct that Google's end of the network works very well.
The other side of the network, yours, is the other consideration; how good your connection? LAN? desktops? Etc., Etc...
Then beyond that, i've used Gmail since 2004 from Korea to Paris and NYC to Cali... I've had it run fast and slow.. is that the Google Server? the network? my computer(s)? I would think it's mostly network congestion but that's a hard one for an average user to determine (where and why and how to fix).
It's near feature nor a bug, it part of the first principals... media covers that which is interesting and exciting. Have nightly math-casts would be as effective as passing a law mandating the value of Pi.

I think the real issue is the insurance / liability costs of releasing a drug in the US; we need Tort reform.

Yes not yellow typically two colors in the red spectrum.
Some women have 4 cones..

Rockoon,
I guess there isn't enough acronyms to go around..

I remember the good old days when PCM meant pulse coded modulation.
So if you ask a Mass resident to fill out any web form that includes the first and last name then it needs to be encrypted.
What about email addresses? they are unique identifiers.
What about WHOIS entries?
Roosters of club members or lists of email list subscribers?
All Social Media sites?

Interesting.. so you know if the Sprint phone being discussed has a data cable capability? I know it has a micro USB port.

oops :( let's through a few more xx's in.. was thinking varibles not actuals..
