There are only around 5.000 students at ACU based on their website. Even if their 5000 faculty and employees you are averaging 47 logins per person. Does half the town of Abilene use the university as a hot spot or what. Even with an average of two devices per person that seems like a lot of users. of course you could always throttle which ever band gets say more than 70% of the traffic.
There will be limtes to this. Sometimes a market is so small but so vital that a company must become too important to fail. Most of these fall under defense contractors. And example would be the construction of nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. The numbers of units is so small that it would be economical to have more than one manufactures. However the skill needed to construct them can not be recreated easily. So that company becomes not too big to fail but too important to fail. Banks however are a different story. Have a few major companies is a classic case of putting all your eggs in one basket.
Don't be too cocky with praising the democrats. DMCA, and the Comcast NBC merger happened during Democratic administrations. Do not let it become "look how enlightened I am because I belong to x party". Start looking at the best leaders of both parties and using them as templates.
Yes I agree that this is a worst case look however I wouldn't dismiss the real problems that are cropping up. Simple truth is that the regulations on a lot of finical corporations have been decreasing over time. Even back in the 1970s and early 80s most banks where local or regional. While the regulations on them decreased government size sure didn't. The simple fact is when you have a few big corporations in any market they become too big to fail. There are advantages to having many smaller companies in a market segment than very few super large ones. It can offer more innovation. Now they do not all have to Mom and Pop sized but as a rule more is better then less.
Hey I am a life long Republican as was my mother and father so I am no bleeding heart liberal. I am also not a big supporter of the Occupy because the seem like a mob of people that are all mad about different things and are not offering any good solutions, just like the Tea Party to be honest. I have tried in the past to suggest this and no one seemed to get it. Frankly I think we need to dump the Occupy and the Tea Party and bring back the Bull Moose party. Just read up and Teddy Roosevelt and his square deal. Take his basic concepts and goals and update them for the 21st century. He as far from perfect but he had some good ideas about limit the power of big business the betterment of the nation. Frankly if you think that what one of the greatest Republican presidents did 100 years ago is too liberal.... Well you have issues.
You kind pointed out what I think was Microsofts big mistake. Had they offered ZunePass on Android as well as their other services I feel that would have done really well. But taking your example the majority of the techie crowd that fits your description has already found solutions that work for them on Android and IOS. Once you are part of the ecosystem jumping is less likely. Those that are not techie will ask their techie friends and they will mostly suggest IOS or Android. The Nokia faithful are hurt and upset so it will be interesting to see how they go. Microsoft had one chance it make a big splash with WP7. They had blew it with WM 6.5 and frankly WP7 was nothing but a yawn. Part of the problem was that in the US nobody was going to make WP7 a Hero device. AT&T made the iPhone it's hero device, Verizon made the Droid it's hero device. Sprint tried to make the Palm Pre it's hero device but then went with the Evo when it came out. TMobile had the Sidekick, then the G1, and then the Nexus lines as it's hero devices. Today the US carriers are invested in Android and IOS. I doubt that have the desire or resources to push WP7 at this time.
I have to agree. I was a real Amiga fanboi in the day. Frankly that is what cured me of being a fanboi. The Amiga was so much better than the PC of the day and yet it couldn't get any traction. Heck the Atari ST was also better than the PC of the day but also floundered. Only the Mac held on with it's large margins and much better marketing. I wrote an early Virus Checker for the Amiga as well as the AREXX bindings for TDI Modual-2 "terrible compiler btw". This is just like a Zombie Amiga... Well it is the right time of the year for that.
That was kind of my point. the total power emitted by a cell is very small and it is not focused. Now as to should they test that is up for debate. If they know what the max output of cellphones are and know the absorption rates of tissues and the required heat to cause an issue then it becomes a math problem. I would bet that they have already done this. These tests are necessary because people refuse to believe the math.
but homeostasis is not perfect. 98.6 is just an average body temp. I agree with intensity being the issue but the intensity of sun light per area will much higher than the intensity of RF per area. Put a one cm2 sample in sunlight in the summer and check the heat gain vs exposing the same size sample to a milliwatt em source of your choosing.
Is there more cancer in warm areas then in cold ones? I would guess that then few milliwatts of RF would produce less heat than say living in the south or west?
maybe with some mods but rackmounted servers for the most part give no consideration to sound levels. Not that they should since most racks are in data centers. I am sure that there are a few rack cases that are quite for use in the music industry.
Maybe but WP7 and WP7.5 are playing catch up still. They are not better than IOS or Android so they are a fail. It is such a shame that Nokia just sort of gave up on US market. I think part of it was that they where Eurocentric. They thought the US market which isn't as large as the EU market wasn't worth the effort. I would have loved to get an E71 back a few years ago but I use a CDMA carrier. The Nokia phones where always very hackable and flexible devices. I am sure that the new WP7 phone will be great hardware but WP7.5 isn't enough to make me dump Android or ignore IOS as an option. Oh and my wife also would have gotten MeeGo. She was a huge WebOS fan girl but is now an Android convert. She got the SGSII and loves it.
Samsung is putting more effort into WP devices? Maybe more than in the past but I doubt more than Android. I could be wrong because of the patient issues but since they just came out with the Galaxy Nexus after working with Google that seems a bit iffy. Nokia should have bought Palm or stuck with Meego. Had the Meego phone come to the US on my carrier I would have gotten it next month when my contract is up. Really that looked so cool.WebOS was a great OS that was strangled at Palm by a lack of resources. Frankly the perfect phone would have been Nokia's hardware running WebOS with Androids Gmail app IMHO.
it would be nice to know what the lab is for. VMs sound like the way to go. Unless you are doing heavy lifting at home any AMD64 system with a lot of ram should work fine. I suggest AMD because of the low cost and the fact that all of them have hardware VM support unlike Intel. With Intel you have to check which CPU you have.
I will have to try it. Of course Google will work to fill those gaps just as Apple improved there notifications. Really people this rah rah attitude is just too much. Unless you own stock on one of the companies or work for them stop making such a negative emotional investment. This is about cool tech. For years their was next to no inovation in the smartphone space. You hand Nokia which was really cool and hackable but not very users friendly, Palm which was cool then left too rot, and Windows Mobile which was both terrible to use and probably the most modern. Oh and RIM for email. Now we have Apple and Google pushing each other hard and lots of inovation every advance in iPhones will drive Android harder and every advance in Android will drive iPhones. It is all good.
I am so not a right winger. If anything I tend to lean a bit left for some things. For example when people where questioning President's Obama's nationality I didn't mind the Slashdot posts blasting those that said he was a native born citizen. It got to the point that it was just getting vile and needed to be blasted. However you wear the costume of an"enlightened intellectual liberal". Amusing in that you are none of the above. Anyone that doesn't act the way you see fit is just evil and should be attacked at all times.
Let's start with the lie in the summary. "Now that ICS is out, though, the source is nowhere in sight. " ICS isn't out. It has been shown but it is not out. And we have this statement " - To reiterate, these servers contain only the ‘gingerbread’ and ‘master’
branches from the old AOSP servers. We plan to release the source for the
recently-announced Ice Cream Sandwich soon, once it’s available on devices. " Source: http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/c73c14f9b0dcd15a?pli=1 In other words this is all click bait and the summary should be appended. The source will be released when the phones are released aka when the program is distributed the source code will be released.
My wife loves her new Android phone. She will be so excited that she now has a Computer Science degree as well as her PoliSci degree. So apply for a job at Microsoft and put down you have a Degree in CS and when they ask from where hold up your Android phone and point at at.
Funny but Bill "The Borg" Gates made all that money from a soulless corporation. IMHO he found is humanity when he became a father. That does seem to happen a lot from my observation.
Actually it is just missed place. They tagged it censorship but it should be privacy or YRO. The claim is that they got the data from her credit card info when she subscribed to the service. That has some nerd/tech ramifications in the privacy category. Not as wack-a-doodle off the nerd track as the story about the stock holders trying kick out Murdock from News Corp. That was pure finance.
Actually you can't do that. Acting is one of the jobs where discrimination is okay. For example you might not want to higher an Asian to play Martin Luthor King. Or a woman to play Teddy Kennedy. It is perfectly okay to say you are too old, too fat, not pretty enough, or the wrong race in acting.

Please if you are going to be paranoid at least use POOP "Paranoid Object Oriented Programming"!

Buzzz sorry you are wrong. For an education please watch this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Greasy_Pole it is available on netflix streaming.

Only downside is that most rackmount systems tend to be LOUD.
I was beginning to worry that politics and yellow journalism and business were all there was to /.
