And we could display it real time during the game and catch any cheaters on the spot. Perhaps we could have a physic official throw a yellow flag when the pressure goes out of bounds and the opposing team could decline the penalty. We could get Bill Nye, the science guy to do the physics play by play. They could bet on the air pressure at the end of first half. We could interview anyone over their air pressure choice.
I did read the Topic it does say Table and Software, It also mentions Partially Sighted Persons. Partially Sighted include a wide range of conditions including many of the anal retentive comment on this thread who fail to see a bigger picture from their parents basement.
My wife lost significant vision in the past year and a half, the only solution that has worked for her is a large monitor and use an iPad with a very large font, she can not makeout the icons because she can't see the details. iPhones and other smart phones are useless for her.It is really likely that there may be no portable solution other than perhaps some kind of projection system.
Disabilities affect people in very different ways and expecting portability may be too much for some conditions.
Perception counts a lot in politics. The big deal is IF the Comcast lobby staff handed out more than the "3 cards a year" with intent to influence. Said another way Comcast is calling the majority of it's customers peons.
My electricity is supplied through substation on 230kv transmission line that steps down to the 35kv distribution which feeds my development underground, my development is also part of a distribution loop in the 35kv grid. During hurricane Sandy my power was out for 10 hours others in my community waited several weeks. My brother who lives just off the development 700 feet from me, was feed by a rural style section of the 35kv grid and it took 2 weeks for all the trees to be removed to bring that part of grid back online.
The original poster cited "top notch" infrastructure. But does this include all the infrastructure that connects him to the Transmission lines? Transmission if federally regulated by FERC and is very reliable. Most of the failures occur in the Distribution phase after the voltage is stepped down to Distribution levels.
In the US most of the distribution infrastructure was designed in the '30s and '40s many of these rural designs were based on a tree network with very few redundant loops - the number of customers serviced counted above the quality of service. As the suburbs developed some loops were introduced but right of way complications and interests of local landowners made the creation of these redundancies expensive. A move to "deregulate" power utilities happened starting in the 1990s this added the calculus of "Financial Engineering" which cut maintenance efforts while housing construction was "Financially Engineered", this results in an overall reduction of quality of service.
The public still opposes electric infrastructure upgrades ( http://www.stopthelines.com/ ).
You need to design and pay for redundancies of local reliability and need to overcome local NIMBY attitudes.

ISP are best modeled as Cartels in my opinion.

Who is the idiot who called this thread offtopic?
