I was having an alarm installed, and gave the guy $40 cash to go up in the attic and drop 3 Cat5 lines down in 3 different rooms. It was August. The money was well spent!
Company-owned car, company owned beach resort, company-owned private jet, company-paid for country club membership - it's easy to live like a king without being "paid" anything.
Yes, and this is indistinguishable from the concept of "a server," which makes the "cloud" part of "private cloud" even more meaningless than usual. As I said.
Cloud services usually refer to dealing with an API to interact with computing resources (processing power, data storage) without having to manage those resources discretely. An amorphous 'cloud' of servers is quite a different concept than one static server (or even several load-balanced servers). The actual physical location of your data and the servers you use to interact with it will change as the computing needs change. Inidividual servers don't matter and can be replaced/added/removed as load dictates.
It's more of a philosophy in datacenter and service design than it is an actual product. A 'private cloud' means you do all this in-house for yourself, instead of a service provider.
Take a look at Amazon's EC2 or Google's App Engine. There's more to it than just running your code on a bunch of identical servers.
I actually got the idea from TV and news. Why do you suppose that the general perception is that truth is not an absolute defense? Was this previously the case?
I started C&C with C&C:Generals (which I really enjoyed, along with Zero Hour and now C&C3:Tiberium Wars). I later found Red Alert, and really did not enjoy it, especially since I didn't start with it.

I'd say the best money is to just keep pumping out expansion packs. I'd buy em.
That/would/ be the Apple way, just like OS X on laptop. "Latch on opportunistically to any Wifi network in range, regardless of any authorization to be using it or not".
OS X will prompt you to use the network before attaching, unless you've made it a "preferred network" and told it to automatically attach to preferred networks.
Some 3rd party Windows drivers will automatically connect to any available network through their helper utility, but I don't think Windows itself will do that.
What often happens is that people connect to "LINKSYS" and from then on it randomly connects to other unsecured (and unconfigured) routers, since it's now a known network.
Besides, the original poster probably meant AT&T should provide WiFi for the phones, or that consumers could use WiFi that they already have authorization for. We want to use the bandwidth we already have, not steal someone else's.
Even if only 1k/second of each player's network resource requirement was movement/action information,
Your numbers are fairly high.
timestamp (32 bits = 4 bytes), object id (4 bytes), object position (x,y,z = 4,4,4 bytes = 12 bytes), object action (4 bytes), object action receivers (1 byte for count, 4 bytes per receiver id).
Simple case (movement, or no receivers): 8 bytes for timestamp and object id, 12 bytes for positon, 4 bytes for action (movement), 1 byte for receiver count (in this case, zero). 25 bytes.
Complex case: George moves to position a,b,c and shoots 57 guys at once. 20 bytes for the id and movement, 57*4+1+4 = 233 bytes for the shooting (receiver count = 57, followed by 57*4 object ids). 253 bytes.
Simple case, 1000 people, 30 updates per second = 1000*30*20 = 585 kb/sec
It's turned into something where people listen to canned music while working exercise machines in gyms, trying to turn themselves into machines
Do you know of a faster, more effective method of getting fit? These people do not have a healthy activity that they enjoy; instead they make a game out of the numbers in order to motivate them to continue to excercise. People like seeing that they've improved week over week.
Cyclists blast along footpaths and cycle tracks more concerned with what their monitors tell them than looking where they're going, shouting at people on foot.
There's only so many times you can cycle down the same path before it gets boring. Adding a meta-game of statistics adds fun to the activity.
Rude people are rude; if they weren't timing their cycling runs, they'd find another way to be rude.
But fussing over numbers for the sake of it? There are many, many better things to do in the world.
Some people enjoy obsessing over things, including statistics; these people are probably over-represented in the Slashdot crowd compared to the public.
There is truth and beauty in science and mathematics, just as there is in nature and human spirit.
But a 128 bit address space is so sparse that passive scanning like the current worms do isn't much of an option any more. Even if you know a prefix to use the chances of your hitting a host in that prefix are still woefully small.
Assuming people don't allocate like::1,::2,::3, etc like many will.
Does the word "cloud" have any particular meaning?
In this context, not really. It usually refers to having machines automatically provisioned and assigned for services; for example you make a request like "I need 2 desktops, 3 web servers, and 4 DNS servers" and then the machines/VMs are assigned to you (or created on the spot).
The idea is that computing power is a resource to be provisioned as a service, instead of having to set up and assign servers to specific tasks and preallocate computing power manually.
Furthermore, making use of someone else's advances in an obvious way is going to count for them, so you don't do it.
Wow, this would go a long way to explaining why different products from Microsoft refuse to reuse technology from other parts (sometimes even within the same product).
I'm wondering why you wait on the outer for-loop, instead of spawning a separate thread that wakes up every x seconds and prints (or not, depending on your settings).
I remote into my servers too, but do you really want to drive eight miles away to diagnose a potential hardware issue, or relinquish physical control to a dedicated hardware monkey?
Why would you want physical control? We have a dedicated team that manages and monitors hardware. They do preventative maintenance like swapping memory and hard drive when they throw "I'm about to die" alerts, investigate BSODs/kernel panics/etc and do upgrades/installs/decommissions. Meanwhile any time a physical machine is down, my OS and applications have been migrated to a new healthy physical machine and I can get on with my job.
I've been working on remote systems with local data center engineers all over the globe for years. It's awesome.
Virtualization (or sufficient redundancy with identical machines) make this distinction between hardware and software responsibilities possible.
eliminating any LAN play in any location without an internet connection.
Or a filtered internet connection - like the office after everyone's left for the day.

The success of this hack is predicated on the notion that they are watching with baited anticipation, ready to spring into action the exact moment you sign into your online bank.
Or have an automated system waiting to do the same. It's not hard to automate logging in to a website and clicking "transfer funds".

Some of the pirates were fisherman, until rich nations dumped toxic waste in the area and killed all the fish.
If someone came along and destroyed your food and livelihood, then drove past you every day, would you be tempted to extract a toll from them?
Two wrongs don't make a right, but it's not like they're all bloodthirsty monsters - some are just trying to survive.

You must have some pretty sticky ceilings. I wouldn't call the people who get hired "lucky".

And unusable on anything but Linux due to licensing (BTRFS is GPL). No, FUSE doesn't count for production use.
Truth is not an absolute defense in England. You can say something that is 100% true but still defaming and therefore lose a case.
I really, really hope you used "axe" as a joke.
The person politely asking is usually burly. Or at least well-muscled.

It's impossible to get a room full of people to agree on the spirit of the law. It's slightly less impossible to get them to agree on the letter.

Much internet access in the UK is metered, so p2p is not viable due to the pricing structure.
Consumer internet in the US (and many other countries) is often unmetered, and so is fine.
