it's in the process of being changed. Iceland has really been fucked over by the crisis. People are mad. Country small, politicians agile and everybody desperate... expect some REAL CHANGE you insensitive americans.
the following video is a recording of a very interesting talk by Julian Assange and Daniel Schmitt (wikileaks) at the chaos communication congress (here be dragons) in berlin between the years.
That's half a Watt encoding HD, a general purpose CPU would be consuming tens, or even a hundred watts to do that.
They wouldn't have to put that into the youtube web-servers, because, as you said later in your post, they'd only have to do it once. They would certainly pre-encode all the videos and put them on storage somewhere (cloudy place). Also: noone forces them to use an embedded device, even if the chip was specifically made for use in such.
You could shoot a rocket from a cannon, meaning you'd need less fuel (meaning a smaller fuel tank, meaning even less fuel) to get it up to speed.
That's what they're doing according to the above link to the google video. The will use 6km/s exit velocity from the gun and do the rest with a single-stage rocket.
How do you stop being a mathematician? (you don't seem to have stopped).
maybe this is the guy who prooved the poincaree conjecture and he was just so exhausted after that, that he decided to spend the rest of his life hanging out on slashdot with a simpler bunch?
This reminds me of Harald Lesch's "radologoy". A rant about esoteric people finding natural constants everywhere. He devotes one of his tv-shows (he's a german astronomer that actually has (had?) a tv-show explaining all kinds of stuff about the known universe) to calculating various natural constants and other numbers from the relations of various measurements taken from a typical dutch bike ("rad" in german means "bike"). I think he concludes that therefore, the design for these bikes most somehow be sent by god. Hilarious! Don't know if he found the golden ratio, though.
I don't care what they do as long as I can get to porn.
Do you still not care when officials (govt, health ensureance, potential employer,..) have "secured" data about how much and what type of porn you "got to" in the past?
since the site seems to be fine from anywhere and a whole ip-segment was screwed, maybe these yes-men screwed up one of their own routers, suspected some conspiracy and then made up this story?
When I tried setting up an older Samsung mobile to get network on my girlfriends ubuntu, I actually had to write some dial-up script because the thing just wouldn't work "out of the box the ubuntu way" (guessing the usb id of the mobile was missing from some db I was unable to locate). This really transported be back to the 80s for a second or two. Seems the AT command set is another nice example of "old stuff still in use".
how is the network the bottleneck? gigabit-equipment is dirt-cheap nowadays. when copying files from my server my laptop it's clearly the write-speed of the hd in the laptop that is the bottleneck. even a 100mbit link (about 60MB/s even over samba) should easily be able to saturate a usb2 hd.
universities? if it was just universities. what really drives me mad is corps like ford, general electric, daimler, merck,... having/24 subnets and making no real use of them, hiding them completely behind firewalls. how about these fuckers just use 10.* and give their huge blocks to providers that are in real need (like qsc), having to let go of business opportunities otherwise because of the shortage.

What is the bandwith to iceland anyways?
from where you insensitive clod?
the wikileaks guys really want this, too.

The speed of sound in air is about 35cm/sec.
WHAT?
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=speed%20of%20sound
The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 m / s
1cm = 0.01m, so 35cm = 0.35m, therefore you're off by a factor of 10^3

my phone has wifi, so it can charge itself!
does this mean "if it's on wikipedia, it's not proper math"?

... the internet recognizes you!
The question is will a government-funded internet make big-brother-ing easier?
Oh please, not that word! You're getting it all wrong. You should call it "internet-safer-place-make-ing".

I stand corrected. Totally screwed this one up by an order of a mignitude.

Off-offtopic, but I'd much rather you typed in example.com.
nice one!
he's just trolling.
there's a firefox-plugin called "customizegoogle" that lets you regex-filter search results, among other nifty things like stream search results.
