The article is terrible so we don't really know what was done to achieve the results (other than it was a single fiber). Also QPSK actually only doubles the symbol rate as it sends 2-bits of information per symbol (4 possible permutations).
Basic is 1 stream, standard is 2 streams (including all grandfathered accounts) and premium is 4 streams + ultra HD support. Premium is an extra $4 from basic so is still the cheapest option if you have multiple viewers.
HIKVision is an Onvif partner, so that's a little disturbing. Vivotek worked quite well for us in testing and appeared to do fine with streaming, did not get a chance to test out motion detection. Primarily we have been using Bosch and Axis, but there have been implementation shortcomings in just about all of the manufacturers including Sony and Axis.
The whole point of the Nexus branded devices is that they are a plain vanilla version of Android directly from Google, and yes these plain vanilla versions call home directly to Google for updates. Carriers are not supposed to alter the OS at all other than the standard provisioning info. Google designed the specs for the device and then contracted each one with a manufacturer.
It takes a few weeks for the various devices to get the update as Google does a staggered release by device. Not sure on the exact order but it does seem to be somewhat by the device's original release date.
As the content provider you can turn the ads off, I think that would cover it. Settings -> Channel -> Advanced -> Uncheck "Allow advertisements to be displayed alongside my videos". Obviously you also must also not have enabled monetization.
Was just pointing out that it really is a 19th century machine (design) as stated, but yes specific date is irrelevant. And yes it is cool, and I watched all the videos. Mind blowing that he was during mechanical fourier analysis at the time. It was a great period when several mathematical greats where also great engineers.
Correction, they don't know when it was built exactly. Likely somewhere between 1901 and 1910. So a early 20th century machine based on a 19th century design.
Ask for a new IP block that won't be detected as dynamic. My mail server is on a comcast business IP block and has no issue sending to gmail, yahoo etc. I've had a lot of problems receiving mail from providers such as AOL since their servers are always on a RBL. Personally I don't care to receive any mail from someone that still has an AOL account but the boss complains. Was forced to make a blacklist exception for their servers.
It is DOCSIS. And there are providers offering Gbit speeds on cable using DOCSIS 3.0 with version 3.1 offering speeds of 10 Gbit. Even lowly DSL has new technologies that can support up to 1Gbit for short distances. Fiber is nice and all (I have it) but it isn't outpacing the encumbent technologies any time soon, at least while the ISP's are holding the reins. I have 50 Mbit service and it is expensive. Max offering is 300 Mbit (same as cable) and is crazy expensive.
Yes, a respectable line-in would be really nice. For now I have been using the Wolfson Audio Card but it costs as much as the Raspberry Pi itself, and you have to patch the OS to get it to work (but the quality is great). I've tried some of the USB audio devices but found the quality to be not good enough, probably because they are really designed for microphones and even with gain at minimal settings there is too much distortion for line-in. 48kHz is good enough IMO, the Pi doesn't really have enough CPU power to do much more than that if recording and compressing in real time.
They can work if the owner forgets to lock out that mode. I have tried and tested it successfully on one machine and another machine said "feature disabled".
Modern vending machines are hybrids, they have their electro-mechanical component but there is a basic CPU that collects statistics and also can control the vend prices depending on the model. Modern vending machines can also be USB, serial and Ethernet connected which only increases their hackability.
It should never be that painful. What kind of crap DRM is so tightly interwoven into the OS that it requires a complete reinstall to fix it? I can't play Netflix on this PC either due to Silverlight DRM being hosed. I'm not going to spend countless hours trying to fix it either, I'll just wait for HTML5 support and use a different PC in the meantime.
AMD A6-5400K. 3.6GHz (3.8 Turbo) and Radeon HD 7540D. $65
As others have said it is a slower processor than the intel but with faster graphics. The AMD only gets a 2100 CPU Mark (Passmark software) which is about the same as an old Phenom II X2 or a few year old Intel i3 mobile chip.
I assembled it as a low-end system for a parent that basically does email and web surfing along with some basic image editing and cheesy games.
I agree that we aren't there yet for it to make financial sense for the majority, but right now it can make financial sense for a small percentage of people.
I don't really consider the Volt a true EV, it is more of a hybrid. It has all the drawbacks of a traditional ICE with some minor benefits of the electric. To get an EV for the masses there needs to be cheaper and denser battery/energy technology. When there is an EV with 300 mile range $25K then it will become the people's car. Tesla has the right idea and may get there someday, to do it they need to scale up production 10x and increase battery density by 75% while reducing battery cost 50%.
No, he is talking about total cost of ownership which includes fuel and maintenance. People with longish commutes are spending $80-$100 a week on gas, which can add up to $5000 a year plus a few hundred in maintenance. If you keep the car for 4 years and then sell it, the total cost of ownership is the original purchase price minus the re-sale price plus what you've spent. Or in lease terms if you are spending $300-$400 a month in fuel then you add that to your monthly lease payment to get the monthly TCO. Of course electricity isn't free either but it is an order of magnitude less. Bottom line is it can make sense if you drive enough.
ISP traffic has always been asymmetrical, 90% down, 10% up. It wasn't until peer-to-peer networking took off that the balance started to swing a little, and then the ISP's were complaining because their up-link bandwidth was getting saturated over the coax nodes.
Now that streaming video is becoming a common place thing the percentage has swung back up and we are probably 95% down, 5% up on the ISP network. They're all upgrading their last mile connections so you can have 50Mbit+ to the home, but if you're streaming from Netflix you're lucky if you get 2Mbit due to congestion at the inter-connects. We're paying these ISP's a shit-ton of money (comparatively), they should be able to maintain a respectable level of service. They've upgraded every part of their network except the part that is really important, because they think they can make a buck. And since they effectively have a monopoly the customer is being held hostage.
Bottom line is the ISP is responsible for getting the customer's traffic from point A to point B, that's what we pay for. It doesn't matter where it comes from, they should be able to adapt their network to suit the customer's needs.
US DoD has 11/8's, about 184 million addresses or about 5% of the total global assignable address space. I also suspect that 99.99% of that address space is not internet routed.
I used them for a couple of years out of convenience and due to having a somewhat complex return (rental property, additional home business etc). They were fine, but the cost kept rising each year, and I didn't feel it was worth it for the rate at which they rushed through everything. I said enough after they charged me $444 for a return.
I use TurboTax now which works ok. I like that you can review all the forms in detail, but the step by step can be a little annoying when you don't want it or just quickly want to get back to a specific question (instead you have to re-navigate through all the questions in the series). It also bugs me that they sell the version with 5 free federal e-filings, but 0 state e-filings - that is an extra $25. So, out of spite, I print my state return and mail it in.
Vice is Linux compatible and written in straight C, so technically all this should take is a re-compile for ARM and you're up and running - barring any issues.
These guys seem determined to do it the hard way, and rather than have it run as an emulator under a host OS, they are running the emulator as the OS. Primary advantage is load time (much smaller kernel), performance improvement would be negligible.

Competitive offerings are also considerably less than this NUC. $900 with some assembly required.

The machine was designed in the late 19th century (1897) and a working prototype was built. This particular machine was from 1914.

You play WoW on your phone or use your phone as your only home internet connection? Seems unlikely.
At least they are being honest and upfront about the services they provide and that gives the customer the freedom to choose appropriately.

I know it's from the movie, but in the movie he is referring to the optimized distance travelling through the Maw Cluster and not time directly.
Parsec is a unit of distance (like light-years), without an expression over time it is not defining any speed.
