Set up a large network of thousands of machines, install on them all, some genetic programming software, then have them generate billions of random applications. Then simply release the resulting ecosystem into the Internet. See what happens then.
The very fact that there is load balancing means that every server is likely to have active connections going through it http://conntrack-tools.netfilter.org/
What's the data worth to you? That is the question you have to ask with archival.
an engineer 100 years from now will build a player (in a way that may not look anything like our current players) in no time at all. What on earth makes you think there will still be electricity in 100 years? Civilizations don't expand exponentially for ever. They hit a limit and in the following economic collapse there is all sorts of chaos. Ultimately the only assumption you can make for storing information for very very long times is that a human being be able to see and touch it.
At the moment, the very, very best method of long term archival we have involves the sacrifice of calves, sheep, or other animal... The UK for instance still prints all of it's acts of parliament on vellum.
1: Wait till it all falls apart. 2: Buy them up by the container load. 3: Spray the case a reasonable colour. 4: Reflash the OS to something businesses can use. 5: Profit!
University is about "networking"; building contacts who will help progress your career. The actual degree or even qualification itself are almost completely irrelevant. At Uni you are creating your "old boy's network". People who will later give you work contracts, quash driving offences, introduce you to politicians etc.
With that in mind you should take a look at the type of people going to each institution. Are they middle class, working class, wealthy etc. What are the entrance fees?
well our phone network is getting over used, we need set priorities, so we are going to direct your call in 5 minutes while more important people (who paid extra) can make calls to out customers right now. Sounds stupid doesn't it. IT'S THE SAME THING THEY ARE PROPOSING. No, that's precisely what happened. Those who could afford a home telephone, had one installed, paid through the nose per minute and were able to connect instantly to whomever they chose. Everyone else used a payphone. What're you, fifteen or something, we've only had ubuiquitous phone coverage for about 30 years.
Areas where flat rate is the norm will inevitably see infrastructure investment stagnation, bandwidth caps, throttling etc etc. With flat rate, there's really no incentive for ISPs to invest in more bandwidth. They don't get any more money for doing it. You want infinite bandwidth? Go pay for it.
But the amount of fresh water available for this energy buffering scheme is likely to diminish over time due to population growth and increasing demands on this resource. Drop a big concrete tube into the ocean, stick a lid on the top and pump the water out of the bottom using photovoltaic & wind. You now have a truly huge liquid piston. Open the hole in the top and pipe the outrush of air to a turbine when you need the power. There you go. Energy storage using photovoltaics and wind power.
Damn. Shoulda patented it! It's just a form of CAES which already exists on land, course they don't get the benefit of all of the ocean pressure.
In particular "Virgin Media TV channels have posted a loss for the past two quarters."
Virgin are in the process of increasing their service fees (a +1 pound/month surcharge for paper bills), and an increase for daytime telephone calls, (from 3.25 pence/minute to 4.00 pence/minute) for anyone doesn't have an XL service.
Already have done Largely why net neutrality simply isn't the problem everyone seems to think it is. Just tell them to go to fuck and switch to another provider.
It's the wrong tool for the job. At the very best it's a kludge. There are excellent tools out there which are designed with no other purpose than getting data from here to there, there, there and there but RDBMS are not one of them.
Sorry, nope.
If that server could be collapsed into a router blade (in combination with some other cisco technology like WAAS, that is possible) you reduce management, hardware and maintenance costs, electricity costs (green is also the word of the day) Nah. there's just as much management cost, the service is still there. Hardware cost? A Dell vs a Cisco router blade... Hmm... Maintenance... A Dell vs a Cisco router... Hmm...
And integrating services into the "heart of the network"? The network should be a dumb connection. It shouldn't be running services.
Introversion is not being socially nervous or being shy. It's not caring enough about people to listen to the meaningless inanities they constantly come up with just because they can't stand silence.

No. This is completely normal and to be expected for any government run project.

If mathematics is invented it can be patented.
HTH.
For giving us Windows Vista.
I hot-swap whole networks.

Yah, yah.

There you go. Filled in all of the steps for you.
Those with the money get to define the standards. The more government there is, the more they get to define.
Sometimes 10Gbit simply doesn't do the job.
etc.
I can do this already. Up to 90 odd Gbit.
Ethernet will have to be cheap.
Now I don't get anything...
Funny how life is.
Far more important than the where, is the who...

How's that for Occam? Hmm?

TV executives claim they don't have enough money so the government simply tax another section of the economy to give more to them?
I'm seeing less and less need for multiple networking technologies. IP uber alles etc etc.
