I've logged into steam on one desktop, launched HL2 death match and then logged into a second desktop - behind the same NAT router - and it had no problem allowing my fiance and I to play against each other in a LAN game. Didn't try to hit any public servers, but it would seem it's not extremely picky about multiple logins from the same connection.
A short orbital period and a higher mass mean a greater possibility we can see the star shifting back and forth as the planet revolves around it. As our instrumentation and measurements get more accurate and precise we should be able to reliably infer the presence of smaller planets with longer orbital periods.
With how many large planets we're finding, it's pretty likely there are plenty of smaller earth like planets to be found when we gain the ability to do so.
Most phones use 5V to charge even if they don't have a USB port that supports charging. Some of the manufacturers have cables with a USB connector on one end and the proprietary charging connector on the other.
Rather than buy one, I just chopped a cheap USB extension in half and wired the socket on to the 5V supplied by the wall wart charger that came with my phone. Attached the USB connector to the plug I had cut off and take that with me so I can charge on the go. Mush more manageable than carrying the wall wart.
I'm guessing they got involved as it had to do with resale rights on digital data in an electronic-only readable format. Tangential yes, but not far from their normal scope.
First, why does the U.S. Constitution apply to foreign nationals captured and held in places that are not the U.S.
Because they are in US custody, even if they aren't in the US.
Also, who picks and chooses which parts of the Constitution applies to foreigners abroad?
They're sticking to the inalienable rights and skipping the stuff that applies to citizens and people who actually reside here(voting, taxes, etc)
Second, will Al Qaeda reciprocate?
Without a trial, real charges or oversight of any kind, we have no reasonable proof that some of these people are guilty of anything. Some of them likely are, but it's all speculation until someone actually forces those in charge to prove it to a reasonable degree.
Also, how do you fight a war under rules that were designed for domestic law enforcement?
You don't. You get a congressional declaration of war (yeah right) and then classify people you capture as POWs. Problem is, they have rights too. If we're going to march across the world performing various "Police Actions", we need to be prepared to deal with the products thereof. The status quo has been unacceptable.
While I certainly agree with you, I do have the feeling they're just going to shuffle them into the custody of other countries without so many inconvenient rights and just drop by for info as they need it.
Kind of like how the US would spy on British citizens of interest while they did the same to the US, and then share the info. Got around the constitutionality of wiretapping citizens... Until we decided to cut out the middle man.
I can tell you with absolute certainty that my view on free will is not going to be changed by my child making a poor decision in the future.
If we have to temper everything we say in the public sphere based on the reaction of the lowest common denominator of society, we're going nowhere fast.
The world is full of pitfalls and dangerous stuff. There's no end to the stuff that could hurt or kill you. But pretending that stuff doesn't exist isn't going to keep people safe from it.
If even one weak person was swayed to a life of addiction by Wired's advice to "do the right drugs," Conde Nast has done evil.
If it's come to that, we all might as well fold our hands and wait to die.
Some people make good choices in life, some make poor ones. If a kid gets hooked on meth because of a mention in Wired, there's a certainly a problem; it's definitely not with Wired.

If you're going to pull 1500ft of cable as suggested by a few others, you can can get fairly cheap HomePlug powerline networking devices that can use that to carry a decent signal. I've connected 2 of the the old rev 1.1 devices through a pair of copper leads 400m long and they still had about 2/3 of their nominal throughput.
Also, getting 2 wireless ethernet clients that support adhoc connectivity and connecting them to Yagi antennas pointed at each other would be fairly simple.
If you have line of sight and you're one to tinker at all, there's also an optical link like RONJA
For cost and ease of setup, I'd go with the wifi. The wireless ethernet clients can be found at various retailers as can the yagi antennas. I'd imagine you could get away with spending less than $100 at each end, and once configured you shouldn't have to mess with it again. ZCom makes a Marvell based ethernet/wifi adapter that is rebranded by many companies. Runs off 5v which you could probably sneak down the unused pairs of your ethernet if you were so inclined.
While I don't care so much about the text input resizing, considering how often pidgin crashes if I resize my chat window, I'd be worried about this triggering this behavior that much more often.
Because of the angle of the angle of the sun, the photos of the hills near my apartment are shaded on one side. The sunrise and sunset feature, coupled with terrain view makes it possible to get an idea of what time of day/year similar images were taken.
Not that it helps me, but I'm sure someone has wanted to know for one reason or another;)
As bad as it sounds, there's a way they can have both. They're already tracking the total bandwidth customers are using, why not have a base rate to charge people that only use the small amount of bandwidth for email and light browsing, and when people hit the caps thy set, give them the option to buy an additional block of bandwidth.
It doesn't solve the problem to date of ISPs implying a service is unlimited when it's not, but it's not really meant to. At that point, everyone will know where they stand. People will know their service isn't unlimited but they have the option to use as much as they want when they see fit.
If you have an HG model, the wireless has a power setting in the user interface. I know from personal experience that it's powerful enough on full power to make my Centrino radio shut down if I set my laptop within 6 feet of my gateway.
Looking inside mine, they have 3 loop antennas, and it seems to have the best coverage from the "front" of the gateway.
And a friend of mine had a linksys adapter that had a jacked up non-standard 802.11g implementation and it only connects to a 2wire when it's set to b only mode.
I'm sure it depends on the carrier that's configuring it. Most of the people that are paying for basic DSL service in the US - I think ATT sells a sub-$20 1.5MBit line, I've gotten the same from Qwest for $17 - but are far enough out that they may not see all of it fall under the verbiage in their contract that says "Up to 1.5Mbit". From there it is a question of company policy and motivation. If the install and config is done by a tech, they might or might not call in to their provisioning group and try different profiles if they don't hit max. If it's a self install, the DSLAM may be provisioned before the CPE is even connected to a phone jack and they'll have nothing to base expected performance on outside a table of expected throughput based on their CPE of choice. Can't hurt to ask. And of course there's the possibility of the telco wiggling around in that "Up to X" promise, loading slower profiles to allow greater overselling of bandwidth to a given DSLAM, but I've seen no reason to believe that is happening... yet
The likely hood of an ILEC employee being lazy is pretty high and, like I said, can't really hurt to ask.
Well if you're in the US, the greatest probability has you in the ATT/SBC/Bellsouth regions. Regardless of your ILEC, did they stick you with a shitty CPE like an actiontec or speedstream? If so switch it for something with a decent AFE like a 2Wire and you might be able to push that more toward the 1Mbit range. Not much of an increase but better than nothing.
Also remember that, even if you get a decent DSL modem, they may still have you allocated under a lower performance profile just out of average expectation of attainable speed. If you contact tech support and you're lucky enough to get someone knowledgeable, they can get you in contact with the group that actually manage the provisioning at the DSLAM and get them to try some higher rate settings on their end.
My finance (Yes, I met her on OKCupid) never got that many messages in her account, and she's the kind of girl that has guys hound her in public until she gives up a phone number. I will admit that the barrier for entry is certainly non-existent and that my results aren't to be expected by everyone. But you have to remember that the site's main purpose is to calculate how well you match someone and provide that info for you to use; free-will still plays a large part in who's going to contact you or find you interesting enough to respond to.
And from what I've heard about the data mining they do server side, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they've already implemented the ideas from the article.
It's my understanding that when those power line studies are normalized for exposure to carcinogens associated with the physical power equipment (think Polychlorinated biphenyls) the cancer risk falls to the normal rate.

It may be useless for fuel, but we have a lot of things that use petroleum in other ways - plastics and polymers being very large portion of those.
I think it would be worth it to try and keep our reserves around for that reason alone.

Most of them have wireless, provided he's getting good coverage in the basement he could do it from there.

The likely hood of an ILEC employee being lazy is pretty high and, like I said, can't really hurt to ask.
I use it to load the driver for my Atheros based Netgear wireless card (WG-511T or something similar)
As an added bonus it installs *just* the driver and leaves out the client utility that is tied to the stand alone driver.
Well if you're in the US, the greatest probability has you in the ATT/SBC/Bellsouth regions. Regardless of your ILEC, did they stick you with a shitty CPE like an actiontec or speedstream?

Chances are, if any officer does show up they won't hear it. And even if you convince them it can be heard, they probably won't care.
