My 10Mbps cable gets 33/80ms at average/peak. A church I set up with 3Mbps DSL gets 60ms. My old satellite rig got about 500ms (less with modem uplink). Do they keep their test servers local, or does a tracert show a number of hops? 300ms is completely unacceptable for the first hop.
My cousin and I both started programming when we were ten, back in the golden days of the Apple II and the TI-99/4a (for us). We got into it for different reasons. He delighted in creating varied and colorful system crashes. This behavior turned out to be indicative of a larger mental health issue. I did it because I appreciated the beauty and purity of logic. Eventually I ended up concentrating heavily on computers to the partial exclusion of natural human companionship. This too indicated issues of a different nature.
Nevertheless, my hobby matured into a lucrative career. My cousin never matured. You have been warned.
TFA includes a sample that I found intriguingly mellow yet possessing a pleasing range of overtones. It seems that Dr. Osaki is branching out a bit with his technique for harvesting the silk draglines, but I wonder just how practical it is to produce these strings on a large scale. It might be initially that we would see them only on very high-end instruments.
Yeah, as if we had anything resembling democracy..I guess it is an idiocracy, because people are too stupid to realize how they get fooled.
I've been saying this for years. People in general are too stupid and/or apathetic to be trusted to govern themselves. What we need is a genuine meritocracy or a benign dictatorship at the very least.
Wouldn't it be funny if all the people here recommending lugging around 10 pounds of laptop stuff found out that the company had no problem with them browsing the web and such.
I can't be the only one thinking that this was an excellent opportunity to crack the system with impunity and not report the findings. That leaves you one simple ? from Profit!!!
I haven't seen any evidence presented that he bullied or intimidated Tyler, let alone did so for homophobic reasons. Either the prosecution is saving it for the trial, or the DA is trying to make an example with bullshit charges (probably to look tough on cyberbulling leading up to an election year).
Perps will often be charged with a core set of charges accompanied by any BS that can be loosely tied to the case but not proved. The BS is useful for scaring a plea and will ultimately be dropped as an incentive. The hate crime charge here appears to be BS from TFA. I predict a swift plea accompanied by a swifter deportation.
Hear, hear. A while back my BP was running 220/140 because I was about 80# overweight. My doctor gave me my walking papers and told me to go die on someone else's watch. Long story short, I lost 100#, 120/80 points off my BP, my diabetes went away, and now I tell doctors to suck it.
I'm calling it now: the response will be "the White House is not permitted to comment on individual cases (See: "Why We Can't Comment on Bradley Manning", "Why We Can't Comment on this Petition about the Church of Scientology", etc.
Bingo. I quote:
Official White House Response to Investigate Chris Dodd and the MPAA for bribery after he publicly admited to bribing politicans to pass legislation.
Why We Can't Comment
Thank you for signing this petition. We appreciate your participation in the We the People platform on Whitehouse.gov. However, consistent with the We the People Terms of Participation and our responses to similar petitions in the past, the White House declines to comment on this petition because it requests a specific law enforcement action.
Silly of them to be so upfront about their charges. That flies in the face of industry practice. I expect $3.50 will show up in mysterious voodoo charges now. Take that peons.
The only logical thing I could think of for that would be one of those "@Home" projects but on a different crowd sourcing scale though even then battery life would suck.
Since you're fully integrated into the Matrix, I think battery life represents an entirely different problem.
I work for a Major Bank and we have BiOS "Magic" that will track the Wi-Fi Card MAC, HDD MAC and MB MAC regardless of how many times the HDD is wiped. We have made it so it would be more expensive to replace all of those parts than it would be buy a new laptop.
That's not a bad option, but of course flashing the BIOS isn't expensive at all, and it's easy enough to do that a smart thief or (less oxymoronic) a smart fence can do it in 10 minutes.

The point is that you're making assumptions, castigations, and recommendations based on possibly false premises.
Granted. I like the odds though.
Wouldn't it be funny if all the people here recommending lugging around 10 pounds of laptop stuff found out that the company had no problem with them browsing the web and such.
Hilarious, and completely out of my experience.
So you enjoy lugging around two laptops when sent on a business trip?
Not really, no; however, I do enjoy other things like having a job...and integrity.

Stupidity is not a protected group.

This isn't about leadership, this is about revenue. Go tell your friends that the government is nearly broke and needs real funding.
I gave you all I had, and you tossed it in the trash. You tossed it in the trash. Yes you did.
All apologies to (for?) Bruno Mars
That's funny. For years I've used that same method to determine how vacuous a video is.
So next time we don't have to wonder about the motivation of the first X to do Y when Y has no performance correlation to X.
While this is a great idea, in some cases it'll be a race to get an open spot, even worse than now.
Couple this with a best-effort reservation system for better efficiency.

...and why is Graham Chapman not joining them?
Graham Chapman died about a dozen years ago.
What an explosive issue...
Had they used the clearly superior RAD-50 encoding, they could have stored THINK with a mere 384 atoms as opposed to 480.
I'm just glad they didn't use EBCDIC.
They tried, but the inherent chaos very nearly brought on the heat death of the universe.

Sounds fishy!
Trout slap!
Yes, scientific advances, mathematical, sociological or otherwise, might very well prove to be the building blocks for a solution.
Silly of them to be so upfront about their charges. That flies in the face of industry practice. I expect $3.50 will show up in mysterious voodoo charges now. Take that peons.
And here I thought the FAA shutdown in July-August would have planes falling out of the sky. Who knew?
