Are we discussing the same thing? A wifi card that operates on its own firmware and is essentially a SoC that's installed in an expansion slot on a system board that's functioning as the router would not necessarily be able to be illegally configured by the greater system. The firmware in the card would manage how the radio operates and the greater Router Operating System(ROS) would only be pushing data to be transmitted to the WiFi card, and pulling data received from the WiFi card. The card firmware would be the one building the packets and sending it over the airwaves.
For management of the wireless interface as to what Channel it operates on, what wireless security protocol it needs to use, etc, it can have an API that will tell the greater ROS what values it would expect and any configuration passed to it by the greater ROS would be verified to ensure that legal values were indeed passed to it and once validated the wireless card firmware would change the corresponding values as requested. For your example of the router telling the wireless card that "you are in Japan, use channel 14," if the card's firmware was programmed right and designed for a US market, it would just respond with "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that. I am designed to only operate on US frequencies. If you need to use Japanese frequencies please install Japanese configured hardware." (yeah...that's the communication that components use with eachother, right?/sarcasm)
Finally, separating these components into ROS and Wireless Firmware would also allow the ROS to perform firewalling and data sanitation against unexpected data pulls from the Wireless Firmware... such as if a certain TLA is trying to get data off the network using the wireless radio (5.0GHz...short range, not very useful in surveillance compared to cellular...but...I've got a lot of tinfoil to use up (ever notice that surveillance breaks the i before e rule? weird.)).
How do you figure? The wireless card would have its own licensed firmware operating the radio and thus be under the restrictions enforced...but the rest of the box would be managed by the general purpose operating system, which the FCC wouldn't be able to regulate under this rule. The GPOS would then manage what network traffic comes off and goes to the wireless card, but not handle the management of the card directly.
In looking over the links, 5Mbps is recommended to receive HD content. Doesn't specify 720 or 1080, only says 720 or better. So, if you peg out a 5Mbps to get 1080p...you're at the 2.20GB/hr threshold instead of my 1.8GB/hr threshold that my 720p streams are getting. I can't find anything on exactly how much bandwith streaming a 1080p Super HD stream actually requires from Netflix..but considering that Netflix's own speed index indicates that the highest average Mbps connection currently available in the USA is 3.60Mbps, and that is supposed be more than high enough to qualify for a full 1080p Super HD stream, I'd say that 1080p actually does NOT require even 1.8GB/hr... let alone 3GB/hr.
Also, in looking at my data feed from the router more closely, the 1.8GB/hr is actually for TWO 720p streams going simultaneously. I forgot to split out the roommate's hookup data. A single active 720p stream is only reading at about 2Mbps currently.
Dude follow the goddamn thread and you'll see that 2.25 came from other people in the thread using an estimate of 5Mbps which translates to 0.625MBps. This number multiplied by 60 gets 37.5MB per hour. Multiply THAT by 60 and you have your 2250 MB per hour (Ok, so that's more like 2.20 GB per hour you can sue me for the 51 megabytes later.)
Where does that 5Mbps come from? That's the minimum recommended bandwidth Netflix recommends for 720HD streaming here.
In my day to day usage, I've found that 720p utilizes an average maximum bandwidth of roughly 4Mbps...which using the same goddamn calculations above pulls out 1.79GB per hour.
Also...I'm never going to use a 4k stream so they can fucking keep it for all I care. 1080p is MORE than what I need to enjoy a movie, and I'm perfectly happy with 720p in most instances.
Dude, Seriously? Wrong argument. The scenario jthill was giving was based on a single person watching an average of 4 hours of HD content daily that jt was arguing would single handedly blow over the cap. That is the scenario that I was arguing numbers with. I'm not arguing the usefulness of the resulting margin. I'm arguing that, using real averaged bandwidth numbers from multiple months of personal data, I'm not going to blow a 300GB cap just watching HD video for 5 hrs a day, like jthill was suggesting
Now, for your "rebuttal" that says nothing of the point of my post; If that's margin too tight for you or your family, blow the extra $30 and your family can go to town on their downloading. If $30 is more than you feel it's worth, either bitch at Comcast or tell your family to go to the library and check out some books and DVDs. Hell, they might learn something. Me, I already said that I bitched at my ISP and got a cap raise to 2TB on the next cycle with no penalties on the current cycle. That also included a 50Mbps raise on the connection speed from 100 to 150.
My gripe was that jthill was continually reposting the same false paragraph over and over and over like repeating the fucking thing made it any less wrong. They had a point, but it was lost by using incorrect data. A single person watching an average of 4 hours of HD video a day is not going to blow over his 300 Gig cap because an HD stream is, in practice, no where near 3GB/hr.
Ok...2.25GB/hr is not 3GB/hr. And in my actual download experience with 720p HD on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Video combined I average more like 1.79GB/hr (roughly 4Mbps for an HD feed. The recommended 5Mbps connection is to allow for buffer and burst, doesn't mean that a feed will always use 100% of it). But I'll use the 2.25 number. 2.25GB/hr * 4hrs * 31days = 279GB. That means that watching 4 hours of High Definition video per day (much more than the average time my family puts into non-interactive media, but that's anecdote) gives me 21GB to play with on a 300GB cap. The reason I always blew by a 300GB cap was constantly having to download and upload projects for work and classes every week. The ISP (Cox) eventually gave in after I called in several times requesting a significantly higher cap because it was affecting my ability to do my job. They gave me a 2TB cap that I've yet to utilize more than half of in a month.
Basically, the part you keep repeating is made irrelevant by actual data. It is not nearly 3GB/hr for HD video in actual practice, therefore the rest of your example falls completely flat; you need to just drop it. If I plug in my actual figure of 1.79GB/hr, and say it's for 5hrs of videos average per day over 31 days...guess what? I've still got 23GB left of a 300GB cap.
Roughly the same as electrons on a bus, with each electron having it's own collision avoidance routine programmed. If every vehicle is autonomous, there wouldn't even need to be a light at intersections. It would flow analogous to the sync gear on the old war planes that kept the machine gun bullets timed where they would not collide with the propeller. Traffic could actually run very fast in very close proximity with dynamic flow adjustment allowing side traffic to seamlessly flow into the trunk. Kinda like this.
Big Pharma, in its chase for the ever mighty dollar, has made medical science into a farce of what it should be by now. Don't get me wrong, there's been a lot of progress made...but a lot of the information coming out from the companies backing the publishing of irreproducible results is leaving a large shadow over that progress; it's beginning to give me the perception that we're coming upon a plateau in our rate of advancement. It's also not easing my cynicism any.
My Opinion: I think that the big change in mindset stems from the notion that even with only a fraction of tech that was dreamed about in the 90's becoming a commercial reality in the years "Beyond 2000"(tm) there's been more than enough evidence that once a piece of tech comes to market there's always a significant cost to our way of life that moves us further and further away from Gene Roddenberry's technologically enlightened utopia and more into an Orwellian dystopia.
Case in point: The Smartphone. In the 90's the dream of having a computer more powerful than the conventional desktop of the time, all in the convenient form factor dangling from the hip... oh what dreams may come! The reality of it, however, has become a veritable privacy nightmare. Another: Infotainment systems in vehicles. Being able to talk to our cars to get navigation, make phone calls, fall asleep behind the wheel and let the car drive, etc... it was all the dream of being the Knight Rider. The real implementation? Yeah, our cars can have critical operations systems screwed with through an interface that's not even supposed to be connected to those systems...likely to fatal ends.
No, in the 90's when tech was all dreams and conjecture of what could be possible in the future, we've lived to see the reality of those dreams always implemented in ways that they only become living nightmares. I really believe that it's because the reality of implementation has almost always gone so awry from what the initial idea is, and it's happened so rapidly that people can actually be there to see both the the utopian plan and the dystopian implementation it became, that more and more people are rejecting many more 90's ideas from seeing the light of day...because they feel they know the implementors are going to fail them again, as they already have on so many other previous projects.
1500' is too high. It would put drones in direct flight line with small aircraft, and as such the drones would need to have a way to respond to commands from ATC Towers, need to be identified and registered, as well as most likely need some form of navigation lights so that they can be seen by other aircraft. 500' is the ceiling for unlicensed craft to occupy where they would not have to self identify to ATC.
For my monthly Sam's or Costco run where I'm buying bulk, I'm taking my G20 Van and loading it to the gills. For the weekly Grocery trip, I'm taking my Yamaha Venture Royale with two large saddlebags and a trunk. Becoming dependent on daily drone delivery for the day to day necessities will actually increase my costs because it will be similar to when I was doing daily grocery shopping on my way home from work (thus, fuel costs were not a factor since the store was on my direct route home) just for that day's dinner ingredients. Pushing that out to a weekly grab actually saved roughly $100 per week in food costs.
Also doing the periodic bulk run encourages me to take a monthly inventory and rotation of my food stock so I always know how many days I can live without power or transportation availability on my current stores (I've learned through the school of hard knocks: never drop below a one week emergency supply of water and canned food, I don't care where you live). Becoming dependent on drones (how many drones does it take to transport the cargo volume of a G20 High-top Van, anyway?) will likely mean that I won't be as diligent in maintaining the emergency stores, and it's likely that attempting to be as diligent while using drone delivery would be prohibitively expensive.
It's actually not as bad as it sounds in this case. Search for the "Top 20 Best free porn sites" on google. The site you're afraid to ask about has made it to several of those lists, so you can get a synopsis of what it's about and its features without having to do a direct search and risk the rule #34 crosstalk that may occur from a direct search for the site name.
Because the 13th Amendment didn't eliminate the institution of slavery did it?...oh wait. It did. Which means that with the 13th amendment, the Constitution no longer allows for slavery. Imagine that. Indentured servitude on the other hand.........
Oi...numbnuts. GGP ended his statement with "Fuck Sprint..." while arguing for Boost Mobile plans. Going with Boost Mobile doesn't fuck over Sprint very much because Boost Mobile's money gives revenue directly to Sprint. Generally, when someone says "Fuck Sprint" that means that they don't want any money going to that company and will be using a competitor for service. Going with Boost actually means they get screwed in the ass by a bigger dildo with a Sprint logo on it. No roaming (tied to either bigger cities or Interstates only for signal), crappy phones at best, and the plans are actually a bigger rip off over the long term (doesn't even help your credit). If someone says "Fuck Sprint" that means by extension they need to say "Fuck Boost and Virgin USA too," otherwise they're just getting even more fucked by Sprint and Sprint will be laughing all the way to the bank.
You do have one thing right though. Boost != Sprint; Boost < Sprint. Boost is 100% Sprint's prime bitch getting pimped out.
It's because the < and > symbols around the library name (presuming stdio.h) made the comment window think it was supposed to be an html tag instead of a library include statement. Preview button would work wonders. (Incidentally, my post would have had the same problems if I used the actual Shift-, or shift-. keys instead of using the ampersand codes for less than and greater than.)
23.5C (~74F) is the absolute maximum temperature for me to be comfortable...and it's not even the temperature that gets me. Here in Georgia (USA), when the thermostat is set to 23.5 the timing of the compressor is just shy of perfect. At just the moment when the humidity reaches the level where the sweat isn't being wicked away, the compressor will kick in and drop the dew point in the room below 50% humidity. I think if we ran dehumidifiers instead of AC around here, we could probably save a considerable bit on energy costs by setting the cooling system to 26-27C (78-80F roughly) and letting the dehumidifier keep the humidity 50%. Hell, use a clean enough system in the dehumidifying process and you'll get a decent supply of good distilled potable water out of it too.
calling anything vaguely related to money that displeases you 'socialistic' is dumb beyond words.
The poster did no such thing.
Um...yes he did. Emphasis mine:
Google employees can [share] their salaries all they want, the rest of the world does not want to follow this socialistic route.
And if to you the rest of the world is limited to the USA, you might be right... A good portion of the western world is actually more socialist than we are.
Lastly, sharing bonus and salary information is the way I ensure that my employer wishes to stay competitive in all aspects of what they do. Not just sharing that information with other employees, but using sites like salary.com to get a "temperature" of where my wages fall in line with other people who have similar Education/Experience, which when review times come up I always bring a copy of reports from several such sites, as well as the public financial numbers of the company, to the negotiation table. So far, this has served me and my bosses well in keeping my salary at a level that's comfortable and competitive for everyone.
They're also ugly as hell having absolutely horrible color schemes that make me want to rip my eyes out every time I see them. Neon Orange on Smoke Gray transparency? WTH?? Also, there's no dimensionality. It's all flat. The quick bar isn't so bad and I can get used to it...but those damn tiles all over the place in the start menu itself? Ugly as damn sin.
I grant that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what I behold in Win10 is ugly as shit to me. If you like it, fine. I'm happy for you. Enjoy that shit all you want. Me, I'd rather have a bit more complexity to my desktop icon design and I'd be less annoyed if MS allowed me to stick with Aero in the same way 7 could be made to look like WinXP or 98 with the classic theme. I was one of the weird ones who, while I didn't have anything outright against the plastic look of default XP and thought it looked leagues better than the 9x UIs, I saw the Aero UI in Vista and wanted to jump over that...but I didn't want the quirky shit of Vista's UAC. Thankfully in the interim there was WinXP Dark Edition that applied the Aero look to XP's core. When 7 came out and did away with several major issues I had with Vista (still had plenty of issues that I could live with that were patched out in SP1 anyway), and had the stability and usability of XP, I swapped as soon as I was able. Then they came out with windows 8 and not only did they come out with a crap interface I can't stand to look at, but also threw usability to the wind. Windows 10 as far as I've been able to discern has resolved most if not all of the usability issues, but kept the UI that makes my eyes bleed. If I can't stand to look at the OS UI to use the system, how am I going to get any real productivity going? Every time I move out of an app to a different one I'm going to be jarred out of the zone through noticing the UI "faults".
All they knew on each question which 2 letters represented clearly wrong answers and were able to reason out which of the remaining two was the red herring on a sufficient number of questions to make a passing score.
As someone who's taken the CCNA and hasn't used it yet (As in I purposefully did not list it on my Resume since I'm stronger with coding, and as I came to find out I make more money now as an Analyst here than I would have as a Certified network grunt on the same level.) I can vouch that knowing everything on that test will only guarantee a near perfect score without having to use the full time to take it. My courses to prep me for the CCNA had us take the previous session's test so we could gauge where our weaknesses were and focus on those as we went through. I still passed by a significant margin with the technique listed above, and it took me only about 20 minutes longer to complete than the actual test (I had 10 minutes to spare on the practice test as opposed to more than 30 minutes left after the actual test).
Long story short: To someone who actually knows his shit Certs aren't even good enough to make toilet paper; unless you're going for worse than Soviet Grade. To someone in HR, they're good for nothing besides CYA: "But he had the cert. I'm no IT guy...but shouldn't that mean he knew his shit? It's not my fault he turned out to be a complete idiot!"
On my full size Van with ABS I wired in an auxiliary set of red flashing LED lights above the standard brake lights going to a separate pedal switch set further down in the pedal's travel. Under normal braking, I never have to push down on the brake to activate the aux lights. If I start doing an emergency stop, however, the aux lights begin strobing until the pressure is relaxed off the switch. I've had several people tell me already they were glad for the extra warning since they couldn't see the road conditions in front of me. I also have a similar setup on my bikes, though instead of being pressure sensitive the brake lights will always flash several times before staying solid.
I do it all the time on my dev box; especially if I'm moving between nVidia's proprietary driver, CUDA, and nouveau.
In the rare cases where it breaks video (more often caused by a config change in the X-Server) the worst I'd have to do is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, which hasn't caused me to lose active work or forced a new login yet.

At just the moment when the humidity reaches the level where the sweat isn't being wicked away, the compressor will kick in and drop the dew point in the room below 50% humidity. I think if we ran dehumidifiers instead of AC around here, we could probably save a considerable bit on energy costs by setting the cooling system to 26-27C (78-80F roughly) and letting the dehumidifier keep the humidity 50%. Hell, use a clean enough system in the dehumidifying process and you'll get a decent supply of good distilled potable water out of it too.
Num Lock and Scroll Lock also provide the same functionality, but the positioning of Caps Lock just makes it convenient.

If it doesn't make the cut... you're holding it wrong
You're thinking Deresolution... or Derezzed.
calling anything vaguely related to money that displeases you 'socialistic' is dumb beyond words.
The poster did no such thing.
Um...yes he did. Emphasis mine:
And if to you the rest of the world is limited to the USA, you might be right... A good portion of the western world is actually more socialist than we are.
Lastly, sharing bonus and salary information is the way I ensure that my employer wishes to stay competitive in all aspects of what they do. Not just sharing that information with other employees, but using sites like salary.com to get a "temperature" of where my wages fall in line with other people who have similar Education/Experience, which when review times come up I always bring a copy of reports from several such sites, as well as the public financial numbers of the company, to the negotiation table. So far, this has served me and my bosses well in keeping my salary at a level that's comfortable and competitive for everyone.
They're also ugly as hell having absolutely horrible color schemes that make me want to rip my eyes out every time I see them. Neon Orange on Smoke Gray transparency? WTH?? Also, there's no dimensionality. It's all flat. The quick bar isn't so bad and I can get used to it...but those damn tiles all over the place in the start menu itself? Ugly as damn sin.
I grant that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what I behold in Win10 is ugly as shit to me. If you like it, fine. I'm happy for you. Enjoy that shit all you want. Me, I'd rather have a bit more complexity to my desktop icon design and I'd be less annoyed if MS allowed me to stick with Aero in the same way 7 could be made to look like WinXP or 98 with the classic theme. I was one of the weird ones who, while I didn't have anything outright against the plastic look of default XP and thought it looked leagues better than the 9x UIs, I saw the Aero UI in Vista and wanted to jump over that...but I didn't want the quirky shit of Vista's UAC. Thankfully in the interim there was WinXP Dark Edition that applied the Aero look to XP's core. When 7 came out and did away with several major issues I had with Vista (still had plenty of issues that I could live with that were patched out in SP1 anyway), and had the stability and usability of XP, I swapped as soon as I was able. Then they came out with windows 8 and not only did they come out with a crap interface I can't stand to look at, but also threw usability to the wind. Windows 10 as far as I've been able to discern has resolved most if not all of the usability issues, but kept the UI that makes my eyes bleed. If I can't stand to look at the OS UI to use the system, how am I going to get any real productivity going? Every time I move out of an app to a different one I'm going to be jarred out of the zone through noticing the UI "faults".
All they knew on each question which 2 letters represented clearly wrong answers and were able to reason out which of the remaining two was the red herring on a sufficient number of questions to make a passing score.
As someone who's taken the CCNA and hasn't used it yet (As in I purposefully did not list it on my Resume since I'm stronger with coding, and as I came to find out I make more money now as an Analyst here than I would have as a Certified network grunt on the same level.) I can vouch that knowing everything on that test will only guarantee a near perfect score without having to use the full time to take it. My courses to prep me for the CCNA had us take the previous session's test so we could gauge where our weaknesses were and focus on those as we went through. I still passed by a significant margin with the technique listed above, and it took me only about 20 minutes longer to complete than the actual test (I had 10 minutes to spare on the practice test as opposed to more than 30 minutes left after the actual test).
Long story short: To someone who actually knows his shit Certs aren't even good enough to make toilet paper; unless you're going for worse than Soviet Grade. To someone in HR, they're good for nothing besides CYA: "But he had the cert. I'm no IT guy...but shouldn't that mean he knew his shit? It's not my fault he turned out to be a complete idiot!"
On my full size Van with ABS I wired in an auxiliary set of red flashing LED lights above the standard brake lights going to a separate pedal switch set further down in the pedal's travel. Under normal braking, I never have to push down on the brake to activate the aux lights. If I start doing an emergency stop, however, the aux lights begin strobing until the pressure is relaxed off the switch. I've had several people tell me already they were glad for the extra warning since they couldn't see the road conditions in front of me. I also have a similar setup on my bikes, though instead of being pressure sensitive the brake lights will always flash several times before staying solid.
I do it all the time on my dev box; especially if I'm moving between nVidia's proprietary driver, CUDA, and nouveau.
In the rare cases where it breaks video (more often caused by a config change in the X-Server) the worst I'd have to do is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, which hasn't caused me to lose active work or forced a new login yet.
