(3) Data travel distance is around 800 miles (round trip) on this demo as that's where the server is. I get a 21 millisecond ping on that route. My final delay will be 10 milliseconds as I just added a server in Irvine California yesterday, but it's not added to our grid yet. (So this demo is twice the delay I personally would get, the good news is I don't notice it anyway.)
An alternative way out is to take a survey of the people who will actually be using the equipment. Chances are they have a preference one way or another. If they don't have a preference off hand, then present them with a side-by-side comparison and let them chose.
I'm not much an RPG genre fan, but all this praise to the Fallout games is wetting my appetite to try a bite. Is there a place to download the game legally? I assume it is off store shelves by now.

A Flu Pandemic?

Good point about the mask. Did a quick search and an NPR Q&A with NIAID director turned this up:
Q: If a vaccine is not available for the general population and a pandemic does develop, what are recommendations for every day life in a big city? Are any face masks on the market effective against viruses? Should disposable gloves be used as much as possible?
A: There are fundamental public health issues that will be triggered into effect if there is a pandemic or a major threat of a pandemic. They're simple things: hand washing, covering your nose and your mouth when you sneeze and cough. Viruses are transmitted from person to person in droplets and also in an aerosolized spray. Aerosolization is a finer way of the virus to spread, and there are masks that are effective against that form of transmission. Some masks are pretty good against droplets, such as the standard surgical masks, but if you really want to get the aerosolization protection, there's a mask called an "N95" that's specially fitted to you. When you get it fitted correctly it works, but that's not something you want to do now. It's totally unnecessary.
That is if you are covering a round cell with a single omni-directional antenna. I think when a cell is deployed, several directional antennas are used to cover a cell. Configure adjacent antennas to non-overlapping frequency channels to avoid interference. Using directional antennas also gets you longer reach because the energy can be focused on a smaller area and the FCC specifies max power output per area
Seems to me he just doesn't want to be a part of something that is used to fascilitate needless deaths, destruction and suffering. It is not as obvious as choosing not to contribute to a missile guidance system project, but I can see the connection here.
He is not blaming the tool. I think he just wants to generate debate on military uses of free software. He doubts that the Pentagon will abide by GPL and will give everyone equal opportunity to take advantage of their improvements to linux, which sounds to me like a topic worthy of discussion. He also hopes that this debate will make people realize the connection between technology and how it effects the world.
The article also doesn't specify if the $10 extra is for the OEM or the consumer. $10 OEM can translate into a much larger number for the consumer. The article also doesn't cover the extra cost of media, which can be used to hide the drive premium the way it's done with printers and ink cartriges.
That said, seems to me that the cost premium would have to be less than, say, 10% of the drive or 10% on the media. Personally, I don't see spending more than that for the labeling feature.
Actually, that's the idea. To bring experts in the Middle East into the mix and see what they have to say about what might happen.
But they won't be actually "bringing" anyone in. There is no guarantee that people who trade in these futures are experts. And you have no way to evaluate what they have to "say" because all you got is a statistical result. You don't know what the source of that result is. You don't know how reliable the source is or who to hold accountable.
There seems to be enough trouble finding the source of real intelligence. For example, the latest trouble with the state of the union speech including information that Iraq was trying to purchase radioactive material from Africa.
Have your students ever claimed that their e-mail service was down, or have your e-mail service ever gone down when assignments were due?
I am interested because it seems to me that e-mail is less reliable than showing up to class or office with a hardcopy. Has that been a case in your experience? What do suggest to your students as a way to avoid such problems beyond the obvious suggestion of having the HW ready a day before it's due?
It's a wonder, however, that VHDL is the preferred HDL of the US government and its contractors. It was patterned after Ada--another US government fave.
This ought to fit into a conspiracy theory or two.
Once the white-collar jobs start disappearing there will be many more people opposed to this, so such a movement will grow dramatically. Maybe to the point where such companies will feel the pressure.
Isn't that the only thing you can possibly base an economy on?
Good point.:) I agree with that, so I suppose my problem isn't with the fundamental idea, but how it seems to be working out in light of the question this article asks.
What seems wrong to me about increasing consumption based on goods with increasingly shorter lifetime is that it is terribly inefficient and artificial.
The inefficiency should be obvious. We are using up natural resources faster than needed generating more waste in the process.
The artificiality comes from companies (i.e. producers of goods) artificially increasing demand for their product by decreasing product lifetime.

200000 stations by 2012 means that, if they started today, they would have to come out with 172 stations every day until 1/1/2012. Good luck!

As long as the car is free (i.e. paid by the ad revenue) and the ads are text based I wouldn't complain.

Maybe superconducting cables would help mitigate some of your concerns?
Problem is superconducting power distribution is not here yet even on local scale.

Many VCRs and VHS tapes seems to be the solution here, based on this web page at least.
