Indeed. When I had an ATM card cloned (I have no clue how), the criminal took the cloned card to one of the few ATMs in the area without a camera. They know where it's safe to use cloned cards, and where it isn't.
Not necessarily. Most password change schemes require you to provide the old password and the new. They don't need to store the plaintext, you hand it to them with the new one.
The point is, wireless is no different than any other shared medium; even if it were technologically possible for it to fix the last mile problem (and that's not a sure bet), ISPs would have to deploy it correctly (whatever that means), and experience shows that they'll instead install the bare minimum equipment to provide a signal, however weak and unreliable, to the most subscribers. That way, they can claim they offer access, sell contracts, and laugh all the way to the bank.
Two, three, they're both greater than zero, and what we know for sure is, if a semi-monopoly telecom company can oversubscribe to increase profits, it's a sure bet they will.
I'm not arguing that there's no slowdown on cable. I'm not even arguing that it's not because of DOCSIS. I am arguing, however, that ADSL is somehow immune to the phenomenon. I'm arguing that because I've personally been on an oversubscribed DSLAM. I've also, in the same residence, been on undersubscribed CMTS. It may very well be more common to oversubscribe a CMTS than a DSLAM, but it doesn't have to be so. It's all up to how your local provided set up the networks.
Hey, if we're discussing last mile, then nothing is shared, because I have a dedicated 1-gbit link between my PC and my ethernet switch. Right? No, that's just as pointless as what you wrote. Fact is, ISPs use shared infrastructure. How much of the total distance is shared is not relevant, but how overloaded the part that IS shared is definitely IS relevant.
ADSL is no more a "dedicated channel" than DOCSIS. The only difference is where the sharing happens: at the street with DOCSIS, or at the DSLAM with ADSL. Either way, if your provider crammed too many bandwidth-hungry people on the shared infrastructure, it's going to suffer.
Patted a SR-71 on the nose at Castle Air Museum and was amazed how small it seemed.
That was EXACTLY my reaction when I saw the one at the museum at Hill. Once you understand what it took to fuel and fly these things, however, you understand why they were never practical.
The "doesn't share bandwidth" part is bullshit. Whether you share it at the curb or share it at the DSLAM in the CO, you're still sharing bandwidth. The whole internet is one giant pile of shared bandwidth.
Didn't look very sensitive in the Z either; they had to smash the brush (a big, heavy brush at that) pretty stiffly onto the thing to get it to register. Plus, it's very laggy. They're insane if they think anyone will replace a WACOM with this for artwork.
Surely! C has saved countless software systems from memory leaks over the years, not to mention other various classes of bugs that simply WOULD NOT EXIST had we stopped evolving programming languages past C.
XP was hit or miss for me, and I didn't use Vista long enough to be able to say, but starting with 7, suspend/resume in Windows has been 100% solid for me.
There's a difference between "hybrid sleep" and "hybrid shutdown". Laptops don't do hybrid sleep by default, for obvious reasons. If your laptop does (and it seems like it might), then turn it off. Hybrid shutdown shuts down the user session(s) and then hibernates the kernel session, resulting in a faster startup. No power used.

OP didn't say it began with the clergy, he said it began with MEMBERS OF THE CLERGY.
Not that Watston, the Watson that comes with Windows.
And at 1TB each, that would be 8 movies. What's your point? The question stands.
How much of that was legally acquired?
If the answer is "all of it", then you should be able to recover it from source materials (DVD, BD, etc).
If the answer is "not much of it", then you should probably take a hard look and decide how much of it you'd miss if you lost it.
Uh, why do you think that these providers give/gave you bonuses/discounts for uploading photos? Are you that naive?
Absolutely agree 100%. We need a standardized VOD platform/api/whatever. Then, start signing me up for all these.

It comes with a GUI, it doesn't come with the Windows shell.
Except that this will be the Unix philosophy, with advertisements. So much better.

I went from Comcast's 17mbps cable (at $74.00/mo) to CenturyLink's 40mbps DSL (at $32.00/mo). What was that you said again?

You should probably not computer. Stick to your iPad.
Damn government is coercing me into crossing the street at crosswalks, here.
Your choices are always limited. At what point would "limited" become "involuntary"?
