As another poster mentioned, sounds like a blogging software issue and not a concerted effort on PJ's part to rob you of your attribution. Not too hard to accept.
If you are so concerned about post attribution, how about putting your name in the actual message from now on?
This is a tired old argument drummed up by people that don't like it when their comments get deleted on a website belonging to someone else and their comments violate the rules by the operator and is being perpetuated potentially by SCO shills. There's a shocker.
The sooner people realize it is HER website and she can delete comments as she sees fit even if they don't violate her terms, the sooner people can move on.
How many forms of bacteria could servive the enviromental changes that would come with their resting place being hit by a meteor (heat), the vacuum of space (extreme cold) and finally the sudden onset of atmospheric changes in entering Earth's atmosphere? Since I am not a microbioligist, I don't know but from what I remember in my biology classes, it is extreme environmental changes that are often responsible for extinction of species.
Contrast that with drilling deep into an existing ecosystem, storing in an airtight insulated container and you have a first class ticket for a foreign bacteria to get to Earth the likes of which our bodies have never encountered.
For reference on how dangerous that can be, please research the primary reason that the native Aztecs and Incans perished. Hint: It wasn't at the tip of a Spanish spear.
Actually physics of radio frequencies allow Sprint more bandwidth as they usually operate 1900mhz and above. GSM is usually 1800mhz and often 800mhz. This means better reception due to NLOS properties.
The summary -- Sprint allows better data transfer and potentially better voice quality at the expense of more dropped calls where GSM allows better reception without LOS yet lower voice and data quality.
In nature, when an infectious organism attacks another, those with the proper defenses survive and thus make the species stronger. One could argue that modern medicine is circumventing natural selection and thus working to make us weaker as a species.
I am a former Mikrotik user. Mikrotik is good in some ways and just plain awful in others. Despite being based on Linux, you cannot get to a command prompt to update packages manually. Why is this important? They run packages that are older than dirt that have known security holes and do not release updated packages with patches applied.
They may have gotten better in this regard, but the last time I used them (a year ago) they had packages that suffered security holes a YEAR old. There is no excuse for that period.
I have used this quite a bit and have never gotten better than 56K. What phone are you using? Have you altered the settings that are widely available?
I have also found it to be strangely unreliable on certain towers. I have not yet theorized a suitable explanation for this. But the Vision service itself is unreliable on those towers so it must be junk equipment or bad wiring.
Law inforcement did it and argued that it wasn't wiretapping. The judge agreed. Then a man did to his employer and suddenely law inforcement officials are saying the opposite.
He was indicted by a grand jury and prosecuters were touting it as the first federal prosecution of a keylogger.
Now do you understand why I said what I said? My comment had nothing to do with the judge and everything to do with the actions and reactions of the law enforcement officials.
When the federal government or a company does it, it isn't wiretapping. But if the common man does it especially to a company or the government in return it is.
If only people would realize that the depth and breadth of the hipocrisy the current powers that be employ, they would be shocked.
As I said, I suspect that we will see the day. Not that as soon as it is completed, this would happen. You see, when airplanes were first invented, no one thought you would be able to fly completely around the world or break the sound barrier. The first step to technological innovation is to first invent and create.
To categorically say that there won't be a space elevator capable of getting people into space one day is just plain wrong.
By the way, it IS possible to shield the radiation in space. The early elevators won't support it because of the weight of materials required to shield. That isn't to say that future elevators won't.
I know this is/. and asking people to RTFA is a waste of effort, but just do it and you will have your answer. But since you won't, I will spoon feed you.
The point of the space elevator is to lower the cost of getting things from the ground to space. Even on the moon, you have to use energy to get things off the ground. The moon has resources that could be utilized in space (or Earth). Instead of having to land spacecraft, risk the dangers and use fuel that you have to get from Earth, you can set up a low cost assembly line type of setup where you can easily get the resources to space and inevitably the Earth or ISS.
As someone else pointed out, this would be a great opportunity to perfect the process. And I suspect that with the creation of an elevator on the moon and then one on the Earth, we will see the day when getting to the moon will not require having to get into spacecraft at all except to taxi from the Earth space elevator to the moon elevator. Then maybe one day Mars.
In Kentucky, the tech job scenario is very very bad. Except in military areas and Louisville (the biggest city in KY). I suspect that is the same about everywhere. The biggest cities may be recovering and military areas. Not rural America from where I am standing.
Compare that to the height of the tech boom when there would literally be 50 jobs listed each week in more rural areas.
With Codeweavers doing so well with business applications and Transgaming doing so well with games, I would love to see Codeweavers and Transgaming merge into one powerhouse and merge the codebases into a unified product.
I have a sneaky suspicion that if you get the best of both worlds that the sum of the whole would be greater than the sum of the parts. In other words, the list of compatible software would not just be the sum of compatiblity of each but that together they may fill in enough holes to expand total compatibility.
Anyone from the Codeweavers or Transgaming camp care to comment on this?
As another poster mentioned, RoadRunner is not available in all areas. Adelphia has a big presence in some areas as well as Insight. Bellsouth is near Ubiquitous with the exceptions of Alltel and a few smaller co-ops.
As to the why--those of you that ever tried to deal with Bellsouth alread know. They are an enormous PITA to deal with, have the nasty habit of quoting you one price over the phone and totally different (read higher) when you get the quote on paper/e-mail and are generally extremely hostile to competition. They price their competitors such that they would have to make razor thin margins on service to compete.
That, I suspect, is the reason why. Bellsouth has effectively priced them out of the market. Since Bellsouth is so big, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the sole reason for exiting the market. Of course, they may have experienced the same thing from other ILECs.
This can actually work. My credit card company used to give an error message saying the latest IE or Netscape was required. I called the help line and calmly explained what I was using and that it was a close cousin of Netscape. It was fixed in less than a month.
The lower you go on the frequency scale, the less opaque objects become. 900mhz is somewhat successful with NLOS, but you have to go all the way down to about 400 mhz to get exceptional performance. But of course the lower you go, the less data capacity the frequencies have.
WiMAX is defined for 10 to 66 ghz. Between 10 and 11 ghz some NLOS will be possible but not anything that is going to go 30+ miles without some serious altitude on end points.
Keep in mind that the most advantageous NLOS frequencies are already allocated to paying customers to the FCC.
802.11b is supposed to support links less than 1000 feet. We all know that if you buy a 200mw card, get directional antennas and/or big amplifiers that you can make 802.11b do a lot more than that. But you will not get very reliable links without line of sight beyond a few thousand feet.
WiMAX is slated to get 1 to 3 miles. Perhaps using the same approach involving directionals and amplifiers it would be possible to achieve longer distances, but without line of sight, I wouldn't expect it to go 30+ miles unless you put both end points on 400' towers.
The laws of physics cannot and will not be broken by any modulation technique due to the fresnel zone. The laws are a bitch and they're here to stay.
Asking if global warming is "real" or a "proven fact" is the functional equivalent of back when tobacco companies used to say smoking doesn't cause cancer. The evidence is there but some people like to try to draw different conclusions.
No, Bush's record has not been blown out of proportion. As I understand it, back when he was guv in Texas, he played some voodoo trickery to try to show that he had cleaned up the air there. In reality, he took environmental monitoring stations and had them moved to areas that were known to be cleaner than others. On paper, statistics showed a drop in airborn pollutants. But the data was junk.
That is the kind of "improvements" Bush makes IMO. I've got it. I have been wondering what Bush politics reminded me of and now I have it. He's the wookie defense of politics.
Interestingly, it only took Clinton telling a lie about gettings his lolly-pop licked for Republicans to go on an impeachment witch hunt. Yet they (and apparently a great many Americans) think the weather is beautiful and Bush should get another shot to screw things up worse.
You can just about bet that if dumping pollutants in the atmosphere will save or make a buck for a company, Bush will not only let them do it, but give them a tax break for doing it too.
I have challenged Republicans I know to justify why destroying the environment in the name of business profiteering is a good idea considering causal costs could be much greater than the short term gains (ex. huge healthcare costs for increased cancer). To date, not one has stepped up to the plate to make a clear and concise defense of (largely) their practice.
Any Republican advocates out there care to elaborate? The answer "cause it creates jobs" is insufficient (see above comment on causal cost).
Not words, word. So the author never mentioned intelligence. The rest still holds true.
I don't care about bad or good. I say this country is free and people can vote informed or not and no one has any business changing it. I say it again--being informed is NOT a prerequisite to freedom or exercising it.
Nonsense. Intelligence or being informed is not a prerequisite to freedom. If people can be asked to die for their country or to pay taxes or to be subjugated to the laws of the land, then they should have a chance to exercise their opinion over the leaders even if they just close their eyes and point.
If you don't like it, I think there are a few countries where you might fit in a little better.

Exactly how to reach that conclusion? Nothing I see in the article supports your assertion.

I am envisioning Codeweavers buying Transgaming and setting it free. Here's hoping.
