FYI... they already do this without a law telling them to and have been doing it for years. lt's called Dark Fiber, and I've had a first-hand tech power company tech tell me that.
Now granted, it may not be all/most companies. But the power companies are eager to make money off of selling wires they can lay for almost free, while they're already laying power lines. So it stands to reason that we shouldn't need much of a legislative push to get them to do what's already clearly in their best financial interest.
Laying fiber to the 99% of the USA that's ALREADY paved, however, that's going to be an interesting, less short-term profitable venture.
US intelligence is already shitting their pants over the "failure of the last decade" if you wanted the last C-SPAN Senate hearing about the Russian/Trump thing. Seriously, watch it. It's pretty insightful (a thousand times more depth than the shit headlines CNN/MSNBC/et al are running.)
Anything with mass can't magically change direction at infinite acceleration. A laser moves at the speed of light (O RLY?), and likewise, so does vision, so the only thing that has to keep up with the gigantic, multi-thousand pound rocket trying to change direction rapidly is the processing stage. We've had cameras that can auto-follow a target for decades. What's the difference between that and firing a big-ass laser at the focus point?
Amazing how their murder rates aren't sky high, completely debunking gun control nuts typical claims. (As if most gun control nuts even knew how a gun works or could label the different parts.)
I honestly wonder how Slashdotter's feel about the most "left-wing" countries pressing down on any kind of speech they dislike, including criticism of government policies.
I'm a moderate. I swing both ways. (;) )
But to me, it's alarming to me how left-wing countries are rapidly approaching and embracing authoritarianism / fascism. (Remember China is a left-wing authoritarian state.) But most people seem to conflate "right wing = authoritarian = bad guys" and "left wing = freedom = good guys."
At least with US politics, there's been a real splintering. The old GOP is still authoritarian. But the newer GOP are much more "pro-gay marraige, get the government out of your bedroom / life." While the old left seems to be more free loving, and the new left is the ones burning down starbucks because someone dared to say something they don't like.
So to head back to Germany. Honestly, I'm glad Trump won (WHAT, OMG, DOWNVOTE YOU BASTARD). Because Hillary had spoken at length about European governments being a "model" to follow and, not even about Hillary, but the thousands of people hoping to get into power and hold influence with Hillary at the helm, I really think the USA would have slanted further toward this idea where violence and government oppression is the cure to speech you dislike. (And when Trump got elected, it represented a clear setback.) And the second you say, "We don't use BETTER speech to defeat speech, we use laws and bats." You have basically tapped into people's primal urge to form lynch mobs, and when have you EVER heard of lynch mobs being associated with "justice?" Moreover, the heavily emotional (as opposed to fact-based) nature of the new left's strategy, leaves TONS of people waiting to be unleashed without any fact checking. People who become pawns for billionaires. People who get arrested while the billionaires can just say "I didn't MEAN they should really riot."
I remember growing up that being a liberal meant two things: 1) I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. and 2) A diversity of IDEAS and perspectives strengthens us all.
And I'm honestly worried how the left has abandoned both of those core tenets yet somehow uses the same banner and labels. They're abusing the goodwill from decades of goodwork, to make people think their current oppression is still for the good of the world. Like a company buying out a brand name, and corrupting it with cheap knockoffs, but people still remember "The Brand Name" as something good so they get tricked by it.
Holy shit, you people are insane in your cherry picking. It's no wonder you guys are resorting to burning down your local starbucks and pepper spraying women with "Make Bitcoin Great Again" hats.
The 7 countries list was compiled by THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION and approved BY CONGRESS. Which includes... Democrats.
So please explain how Obama and Democrats in Congress were apart of "Trump's plan" to destroy constitutional safeguards.
Meanwhile, while don't we talk about Obama's war on journalists (demanding a journalist reveal their anonymous sources), Obama's wiretapping of journalists, Obama drone striking a US citizen without Due Process, Obama selling guns to Mexican drug dealers and Syrian Rebels (who believe in torture and female genital mutilation) while at the same time trying to take guns away from law-abiding citizens. (The 2nd amendment is a civil liberty even if you don't like it.)
Goddamn Trump was so evil he managed to corrupt the LAST President. He's super Hitler!
The committee is not the entire House. If you think all GOP are going to support it you're insane. If you think all Dems will oppose it, let's wait till the bribes get handed out.
I have no problem with our intelligence agencies keeping tools and means to hack.
I DO HAVE a problem when they're used against American citizens and even used to murder them without a trial.
Our government should be doing everything it can to PROTECT us against China, Russia, etc. It should not be treating >us like antagonists to be targeted and crushed. It's time we stop treating our citizens like "criminals in the making".
Go ahead. Try and Google for a quad motherboard. They haven't made them since like... the Athlon 64-era Opterons. The boards are MASSIVE. You can't fit 128 DRAM slots on a single board. (And who wants to BUY that many?) There's too many traces and the board becomes super expensive from the extra routing layers. The board is also going to flex under any kind of weight, and the larger the footprint the more important the mounting becomes (going from casual "bolt it to the wall." to only professionals can service it carefully lest they flex it and snap a delicate trace.)
Some of the larger boards (ala more sockets) are connected into sub-modules that stack perpendicularly into a specialized transport bus. The bus / message-passing chips are also pretty damn expensive.
The trend has clearly been moving away from MULTI-CPU, and toward MULTI-CORE. The same motherboard, you buy better and better CPUs with more cores as you need. All the cores are together. There's no motherboard manufacturer based chipset. No huge message piping. It's all there in the L1, L2, L3, (L4). And it's the SAME or MORE CPU cores than before. 4 sockets with 4 cores vs 1 CPU with 16 cores? That's a no-brainer. It's way more cost-effective for 99.99% of people. And you can upgrade ONE (or two) CPUs instead of four which adds up fast across many stations.
That's off-topic. There's nothing about CPU upgrades that demand a comparison to internet speeds. There are TONS of workloads that don't require LIVE access to a saturated internet connection.
And those that do? BUSINESSES PAY FOR IT.

Congratulations. You know when people talk about signal-to-noise ratio in forums? You're officially noise.
My father-in-law has been making (and selling) those things for over a decade...

I wonder if drinking gasoline is good for one organ before it destroys the rest of your body.

And then they'd just attack the run-time/garbage collector.
I'm sure he's the ONLY asshole in that crapfest of a company.
This has to be the most courageous thing Apple has done.
I used to run a secure, encrypted server... until I took an arrow to the knee...
Shut up, Russia. :P

Do we really need you guys talking anymore? Can't we just ASSUME "every story = TRUMP BASH" and just move on?
When the guy you hate does something bad, it's his fault. When he does something right, it's thanks to the last guy.
1% of 3,000,000 = 30,000 really pissed off customers.
If it was far less than 1%, they would have told us it was "less than .01%" or something like that.

Fun fact: Quad sockets are SUPER-RARE.
Go ahead. Try and Google for a quad motherboard. They haven't made them since like... the Athlon 64-era Opterons. The boards are MASSIVE. You can't fit 128 DRAM slots on a single board.
