My town has been absolutely swarmed with Verizon trucks stringing up fiber over the past few months. It's amazing the way they attack an area, most of May I'd see 5-10 different Verizon trucks on my 15 minute commute.
They have got me a bit worried though, they've been slowing down over the past few weeks but they're still about a mile down my road (Meriden Rd in Rockaway twp NJ if anyone cares) and haven't done any work in weeks. I hope they make it up here sometime soon, I don't know how much longer I take Cablevision's flakey service.
Verizon, if you're reading this, you'd better string some fiber up here. You're missing out on a huge lode of rich people (that conviently live right by me), the kind that buy the expensive plan but only get as far as email and MSN.com. Come on, just hook me up and I'll have everyone in the area buying.
If I was going to put a bunch of CDs away instead of using a vacuum I'd use a pure Argon atmosphere. Perfectly inert and you don't have to worry about the quirks of a depressurized environment.
Your rating probably has more to do with using a nonstandard one-to-ten rating system. Around here it's customary not to give something under a five unless it presents a considerable health risk.:P
The parent couldn't be more right, that's just about everything I would have said. One extra thing is that in my area (Rockaway, NJ) the connection is a bit flakey sometimes. Service can go out randomly for up to a couple hours.
As for FIOS, I can't wait. My area has been absolutely swarmed with verizon trucks stringing up fiber but they seem to have stopped about a mile down my road from my house. It's amazing the way they attack an area, last month on any given weekday I'd see five to ten Verizon vehicles on my 15 minute commute.
It's not a game as to how much work you can cause for the local techs and admin, the computers are always for WORK. If you go ahead and make it a game, we get VERY pissed at having to clean yet another computer.
Actually, it IS a game, you're just on the wrong end of it. Just like releasing chickens in the halls the point of the game is to piss someone off while having some fun. I remember someone commandeered one of the school's servers one of my years in HS as a dedicated CS and ROM server. Good times, well, except for the poor admin.
Is the fact that the entire page is done in seperate tiny Flash boxes supposed to be some kind of joke about the way web pages will appear in the future? I nearly had a heart attack when the page came up.
Parent is funny because it's true. This isn't "upgrade to make our system go faster" RAM, it's "upgrade so you can go futher out of spec on your FSB to go faster RAM". It's simply pushing the overclocking wall a little bit further out. It's all right there in the article.
I had a situation like this when I had to call IBM support for my laptop. It was giving me a fan error code through the BIOS when the fan was seemingly working properly. Instead of sending out the thing to IBM I ordered a HSF unit from a parts junker and installed it myself. It didn't fix the problem so I called IBM and told them the problem. He said he would have them put a new HSF in it. At that point I told him I had already done so and it didn't help. He seemed a little worried and talked to a manager I guess but after a minute he came back and said they would fix it no problem. The shipping box was at my door in under 20 hours and I had the notebook back fixed by the end of the week.
IIRC you get do things like tell them you already diagnosed the system and just need the part if you become a reseller. One IT shop I worked at for a summer had a special number and account to call that seemingly cut through a lot of the crap for each of the companies they deal with. At least that's the way I remember it, I could very well just be misremembering.
For those that don't know, it's quite amazing how much the average car does this already. As mentioned, things like RPM, individual wheel speeds, clutch slip, internal pressure sensors, temperature sensors, and just about anything else you can think of that could be remotely useful is monitored by the computer which can kick the drivetrain into various "limp home" modes and set off that damn check engine light.
The real question is how long it will take until it is hacked to run on any box. It will probably be a lot like how games are cracked to bypass the CD check. It seems that the most secure thing Apple can do is have intel make a special chipset that is integrated in some way deeply into the OS. They have to make the OS so dependant on the physical hardware that they cannot be separated.
Not that this matters all that much. The way I see this going down is an "Apple" motheboard will either be made by Intel or Apple. The rest of the system will be built from normal PC parts. The motherboards will probably be available at least as replacement parts which would allow anyone to put together an "Apple" system. The motherboard can also run Windows as was said in the keynote so you could build yourself a nice dual boot system as long as you use the right parts.
It would also stand to reason that at some point VIA will reverse engineer the chipset and come out with an Apple comatible clone that will cause a long legal battle but eventually open the market up to everyone.
It's not even wildly different from any other TIG welding process, it just has its quirks like any other metal. If you can TIG weld steel and have some cardboard to rig up extra argon shielding then you can do titanium.
I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion, but you did pick up on the important point that I haven't seen much mention of. Why this is happening is much more important than how or what its immediete effects will be. Mr. Cohen has made his position on piracy over bittorrent very clear over the years and it simply doesn't jive with these actions.
What this says to me is that he feels he has a very good hand with this search engine and is going to play it. I don't how he thinks this will all play out or even whether it has to do with piracy directly, but this is a deliberate action indicating a thought out plan.
I agree with the parent but would like to elaborate on the idea. It's not a high likelihood, it's an absolute certianty. When space industry finally becomes profitable it will be militarized.
There won't be a giant peace treaty that says "this is space, it's special, there is to be no fighting in space." It's a frontier, there will be guns, missles, and bombs protecting any enterprise out there.
So why exactly are we going to wait? To be good sports about the whole thing? It won't make wars today any more deadly, will a tungsten rod dropped from a satellite be more deadly than a hydrogen bomb? The only thing it can possibly do is lead to a lot of good research.
Maybe the top brass know as well as anyone how effective all these "anti-terror" measures actually are and are pushing for something they believe to be useful?

I've been using Optimum Online for the last five years and Cablevision keeps raising the rates while giving worse service.
Thank God my town just got the Verizon "swarm" stringing up fiber this week. In a few months I'll finally be able to get my 15/2 for $50/mo and give Cablevision the finger.
Can someone let me know how exactly one would go about making this movie and having it not end up absolutely dreadful? Most of the story exists as background asides that can't be translated into something fluid for a movie so you'd be left with a nearly incomprehensible plot that isn't even funny anymore.
For those of you disappointed, how could this have possibly ended up good?
I've found the Wave to be by far the best tool of them all, and I've tried a good selction of multitools (10+).
The most important things about it are: It's small enough to carry in dress the pockets of pants or work pants along with the wallet and cell phone All the blade tools are easily accessible from the outside It's got normal and serrated blades that lock and a wood saw Very solid and ergonomic construction (the plier handles are rounded and don't pinch) Doesn't take as long as others to break in
It is the tool to have when you can only have one tool (except for a toolroom lathe, but you usually don't have one when you need it:P).
I absolutely love my Toolzall Electrical, whenever I'm doing any kind of electrical work I keep it on me. I tried to find another one to give as a gift, but it seems they are now discontinued for some reason. Does anyone know of something comparable with the wire strippers and the like?
"when is the last time the public actually stood up for their rights?"
You might not agree with them, but the NRA has put up quite a fight on behalf of its members. The anti-gun groups? How about the ACLU? I hear they have a few more than ten members now.
Just because you want someone else to fight for your rights doesn't the public is apathetic. It jsut means they have different priorities.
A lot of us in northern NJ have it pretty good in terms of broadband. According my my Wild Ass Guess survey most people have a choice between cable and DSL, and 50% of those who use the internet have one or the other.
Even though I have many reasons to hate Cablevision (Optimum Online), they can do two things well: Keep my cable connection on, and keep it over 1Mbit up/ 5Mbit down.

Wrong. The very definition of addiction mandates that it is a harmful behavior.
