Whenever my MacBook Pro is sitting on my desk, it's connected to a pair of decent PC speakers, through the headphone jack. Except when I'm in a teleconference, then I'm using a pair of headphones from an iPhone 5, also through the headphone jack.
116 MWh of battery capacity is still a drop in the ocean compared to the total electricity use. In the 2016, the US consumed 4,686,400,000 MWh of electricity. If we could run the entire country on those 116 MWh of batteries, they would run out in 0.78 seconds.
That's what I call a leapfrog technology, going straight from the telegraph to G.fast and not bothering with that silly 100 year telephone era inbetween.
I have been designing and 3D printing objects for my own use a couple of years now, and I still don't own a 3D printer. I just upload my files to Shapeways and the finished pieces are delivered to my door.
Back in the day before digital cameras, I also used to take photos on film, but I didn't have my own darkroom. Same thing.
If you use IPv6, the attacker may not even have to break into the access point to find your MAC address, because the IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration mechanism will helpfully embed your complete MAC address in your IPv6 address. Such is progress...
I sent in the rebate form for a Maxtor hard drive
in October 2003 and promply received a
confirmation e-mail. Now, 17 months later,
despite three e-mail complaints and one
complaint to the FTC,
I still haven't received a check.
The rebate tracking page has been promising it "in 10 to 15 days" for 15 months now. Guess what brand of hard drive's I'm no longer buying?
Funny that you should think a great deal of money
has been
spent on AuDSL R&D, not to mention marketing.
I built the AuDSL system for fun, not profit,
in the summer of '99, at the total
cost of one bare-bones PC, a couple
of sound cards, and
a man-month or so of my spare time.
It has certainly never been marketed,
which perhaps explains why it did not turn
up on slashdot until now.

Yes, you need a leased line. A phone call
going through an exchange will only pass
about 3 kHz of bandwidth, and AuDSL needs
20 kHz.
It seemed like a good idea at the time :-)

It is now two years since I developed AuDSL.
At that time, DSL modems were not cheap, and
DSL was not being offered as a commercial service
to residential users, at least not in Finland
where the AuDSL work was done. With local
phone calls being billed per minute, the options
for people wanting an always-on connection in
their home were very limited.
Some people were leasing
raw copper pairs to nearby
ISPs or employers willing to provide
connectivity, and buying routers and
rather expensive synchronous
leased line modems with v.35 interfaces
or (as I did) 38.4 kbps four-wire baseband
modems. In that context,
AuDSL actually had some utility,
but mostly I built it out
of curiosity to see whether it could
be done and for the sheer hack value of it.
It has never been the intent for AuDSL
to become a mainstream technology or
the basis of a commercial service.

What the heck is a "price collision", anyway? Googling it got me "did you mean: price collusion". I think google may be onto something there...

Noise canceling aside, military superhuman hearing devices have been around for a long time, and the old ones look cooler, too.

Here's a rough comparison of the price to a variety of other offerings: http://www.araneus.fi/bwcost/?highlight=71
If you type "recession" into Google Correlate, it tells you there is a correlation factor of 0.9059 with "microsoft word 2008".
$5 per megabyte is actually a bargain compared to, say, the AT&T international roaming data rate of $19.97 per megabyte, as illustrated here.

It seems the only way to administer XenServer is from Windows - is this correct?

AuDSL was done using PCI sound cards.
