My thought was 9 users x2 channels (full speed downloads) = 18 channels plus a few for uploads which is AFAIK more than most providers will have set aside for data unless they have moved to SDV.
Cat6 has NEVER been used for POTS line in the US, those are all going to be CAT3, and further even if they *were* Cat6 that wouldn't get you 100Mbps past a couple hundred meters, the only way to achieve those kinds of speeds is to do fiber to the curb or at most a remote shelf very near the house.
Well, at 100Mbps you're using enough channels that it's unlikely that there are more channels open on the local segment for data unless the cable operator has moved to exclusively using switched digital video.
According to this graph the difference at idle is almost 90W, or a difference of $180 over 2 years if you leave your PC on 24x7. And I was talking about during the summer, where the added BTU's are paid for in power draw and then again in AC draw.
P.S. My furnace is 93%/16 SEER and my house is only 1200sq ft so in percentage terms it can be a large cost.
Doesn't mean they aren't errors. Just because a high percentage of people are improperly encoding the RNA for this protein doesn't mean that it's not just a common defect. For all we know this is a defect holdover that at one point conveyed some advantage like sickle cell anemia providing a partial immunity to malaria.
It doesn't really matter though does it, as long as the transcription errors don't produce toxic analogs of the protein that's being encoded then the body just produces more copies of the protein until it has enough working copies. Yes, it has to expend more energy on creating and destroying the transcription errors but I would venture that this is already accounted for in the cells energy intake since it's probably been with us for a very, very long time =)
The problem is we ALREADY paid for it, and now they want to seize it and bundle it with a nice bow and hand it to their shareholders. We paid for it in direct taxes, we paid for it in subsidized rates, and we paid for it by allowing a telecommunications duopoly to develop. We have a natural monopoly/duopoly situation going on and we have two valid options as I see it, we can either have the government run the infrastructure and allow all comers to provide open service on a competitive basis or we can have tightly regulated monopolists. Going down your distopian path to corporatism run amok will only lead to America becoming a technology backwater gheto where corporations only service the most profitable customers and spend as little as humanly possible to maintain their existing subsidized infrastructure while maximizing shareholder profits and CEO bonuses until things get so broken that they get another multi hundred billion dollar handout from the government.
I think he's talking about services like DOCSIS-VoIP where a separate carrier is allocated for that additional service or like UVerse where there is a certain amount of bandwidth going from the pole to the house and the amount available for pure IP service is dependent on the other services being used at the time (IE that 40Mbps connection might have a 50% QoS setting for IPTV where the pure IP portion of the circuit gets half the speed if multiple HD streams are being watched).
Actually, power distribution is a MUCH more highly regulated industry than IP telecommunications even though both have received roughly equivalent percentages of their infrastructure from government subsidies and both largely owe their defacto monopoly/duopoly status to government granted positions. I don't think your local public utilities commission is going to be very friendly to a power company that won't upgrade a substation that's browning out and yet that same commission feels it's fine for the telecomm companies to throttle/cap connections rather than upgrading their backhaul lines or worse yet charge third parties to provide reliable service that just happens to compete with their large media position.
That's hilarious since the Ohio Dem's were using one of the republicans support of the Fair Tax (or flat tax, not sure which he supported) as an evil plot to decrease taxes for the rich while taxing poor peoples food and medicine. I'm fairly sure neither major party wants the Fair Tax to pass as it makes it too hard for them to trade campaign contributions for tax loopholes.
T-Mobile already supports UMA so they probably have the infrastructure to go pure IP, it probably came down to whether switching out boards in the towers was more expensive than the savings on backhaul connections. Overall I don't care whether it's called 4G or not, it's plenty fast and competes well against the top tier offering from their competitors (possibly better due to lower user numbers and hence lower contention ratios).
Followup comments say that using user agent switcher someone else was able to reliably switch the rate at will by switching the user agent string for Firefox.
They are, there's a new from the ground up design for reader/acrobat pro coming sometime Q4. It's been in the works for a while but obviously being a new codebase it's going to require a ton of testing, and it hooks into products they've never hooked to before (Office 2010 for one) and all of that functionality needs to be tested as well.
Nope, almost no email client or server is 100% IMAP compliant, though most are POP3 compliant. It has to do with the how complex the standard is and how much thought went into actual real world implementations of the standard.

And of course RHEL's support lifecycle looks pathetic next to Windows/AIX/HPUX (10 years) and Solaris (12 years).
Yeah because mining gold and refining it and the turning it into nano-particles takes zero energy....

Of course not, with missiles we not only get to spread the cash but also stimulate the weapons sector of the economy directly at the same time.

By blowing it away and spinning a new VM, EC2 machines are by their design expendable resources.
The 5770 will also cost you significantly less in electricity and cooling during the warm months =)

Except for protein encoded viruses of course which rewrite RNA and sometimes DNA =)

HSPA+ supports a pure data layer, though I'm not sure if this is the mode T-mobile rolled out.

Did you try disabling the Win7 firewall rules? My guess is the client does active FTP and that is where the problem is.

Sorry, but I'd rather have a monopoly that points me to many free sources of news and opinion than pay cash to a muckraker.
Yep, at ~$1M per customer Oracle's obviously expecting some serious revenue generation from this acquisition.
Only between all Intel and all AMD, due mostly to software support issues with things like CPUID.
