Well if the beeb is interested in reselling the work all they need to do is distribute it with a Non-Commercial Creative Commons license and no one will be able to make money off of distributing it. Sure the audience might be somewhat lessened by those people who download the episodes and refuse to watch the ad filled version but I don't think it would have a huge affect. Btw there is no Creative Commons license that would allow restriction to a particular class of recipients, in fact such a license would be very much against the spirit of creative commons.
Cisco's margins are more along the lines of 50-60% depending on the product line. I know because the wireless division was being dumped on for only having ~40% margins. Then the bubble burst and other divisions suddenly had almost no sales so those margins on increasing sales started to look not so bad =)
Different numbers, 92Tbps is total fabric capacity when used in a mesh, 40Gbps is what can be done on a single interface. So this thing can route 2300 40Gbps interfaces when used in a cluster, that's more capacity than any organization can use at this time, so there is TONS of room to grow. This sounds like a good thing to use for the core of *gasp* a carrier class network which needs future expandability without downtime.
We had a really high gain 4 pannel style antenna at Cisco's wireless division and I can tell you that when that thing was being fed at 100mW that standing in front of it would warm you up. The radiated power was around 8W so it probably wasn't life threatening but I can tell you that I wasn't about to stand in front of it to find out.
Sure, two Cisco BR350 series bridges with the 21dBi dish style antenna's. Cisco doesn't sell it certified for more than 15(?) miles or so because to get longer you have to get a high tower to overcome curvature of earth issues. Legally you can't go over 20 miles without going over ERP limits but you CAN run them at 100mW and get significantly more than 35 miles. You can download their calculator here, the last worksheet is the old calculator which will allow you to do all sorts of calculations which aren't necessarily withing regulations.
Umm, Pringles cans are coated internally with an aluminium paint so they ARE reflective. Btw the origional source for most people hearing about Pringles antenna's was this PBS article.
You're partially right, as the first layer contained iron oxide (which I did not know until seeing your comment and doing some research). My comment was a reiteration of the comment by the investigator who did the study on the sample of the skin which lead to the modern theory of the accident. In the NOVA show on the issue he said of the aluminium and cellulose butyrate acetate that it "was essentially rocket fuel".
It's kind of funny that everyone talks about OS/2 being dead. I just finished a project late last year that was a HUGE rollout of OS/2. Well actually it was removing an OS/2 box and a windows 2000 HDD and replacing the HDD with one with XP and OS/2 in Virtual PC but same difference. This was for a large mortage house that has ~40K desktops. Most of those desktops spend all day in OS/2 and only go out to Windows for Outlook and the occasional other Office app. Sure IBM marketed OS/2 horribly to the home user but they did a pretty good job of selling it into a few large markets and supported the heck out of it there.
Thank you. The stupid Hindenburg was the begining of bad science in the media. Due to the radio reports and the worldwide viewing of the recorded images of the disaster no formal inqury into the cause of the disaster was done. As we know now the skin of the Hindenburg was painted with what was essentially ROCKET FUEL. A small static discharge along a seam is the most likely cause of the disaster, the skin almost exploded and it wasn't until much later in the disaster when the envelopes tore open due to loss of internal structure that the Hydrogen had any affect on the fire. Not only that but no people were hurt by the hydrogen fire because due to hydrogens boyancy it would have risen to the top of the structure and burnt there.
How about write to the SQL99 standard and have database specific modules while overloads functions which rely on DB specific functionality. This way your design is naturally modular and abstracted. If you design like this problems porting will be greatly minimized. Don't say it can't be done because I did it for a freaking interpreted game engine (NWN) in a C like language, doing it with a real language should be at least twice as easy.
No, it can't happen. There are too many source code implementations of MP3 for Fraunhoffer to squash them all. Besides in much of the world they would have a hard time stopping any player which doesn't rely on their source because software patents aren't enforcable universally.
A lot of conent is also pre-pushed. For instance if Apple is going to have an ad campaign involving quicktime movies available from apple.com they will pre-push the content to Akami's servers several days ahead of time so that there is not a sudden rush of requests from Akami's cache engines crushing everything else.
Palm devices have tactile keys. I personally used my Palm IIIxe to controll Winamp for a car mp3 player. You had a couple hard buttons to do things like pause/play, skip, volume up/down, etc. Put the most used functions on the hard buttons and it becomes much easier.
Actually I think SPF will be FAR more valuable for curbing email born virus's then it will for curbing spam. As others have pointed out spammers can already register domains by the hundreds. The only kinds of spammers it will curb are the ones who use zombies to do their dirty work.
I don't know about all congressmen and representatives but my rep The Honorable Sherrod Brown seems to listen to the faxes I have sent through the EFF's website. Of course I have never sent just the form letter. Since he sits on the Houses Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet he is a little more tuned into the issues that concern me regarding technology. I have recieved a response every time I have written him including two hand written letters. I also had a talk with him at a public appearance and he recognized my name and remembered the issues I cared about, I am not a contributor to his campaign but I AM an active and concerned citizen who has spoken up for what I believe in and I feel that my voice HAS been heard. The thing about American politics is that the cast majority of the populace is so apathetic that a small vocal minority can have a vastly oversized impact on issues that concern them.
Wow, stupidity huh. That's why I work as a successful consultant solving customer problems every day. Not to mention the fact that I'm pulling a 4.0 part way through my second bachelors. Btw CAT and PET scans clearly show a different physical and electrical structure to the brains of people with ADD. Go away little troll.
And THAT is one of the reasons I love Mozilla/Firefox so much. I have the flash click to play plugin, the remove anything plugin, and the do.animations(once) setting enabled. With popup blocking default this means that I get to the actual content of pages without constantly being distracted by ads. Being ADD means that flashing ads REALLY annoy me because it's virtually impossible for me to concentrate on the article with the ads flashing in my peripheral vision. I'm not the kind of person who changes my buying habits based on ads anyways (I almost never buy namebrand, I buy generic with an eye towards value.)
Bullshit. Vonage and all the other large VoIP providers use gateway services to access the POTS 911 system through the public alternative number for the local emergency dispatch center. There is a difference in that some changes are allowed to affect the public alternative number while almost no change is supposed to affect the 911 trunk. Right now the Vonage 911 services is an optional component but it's not hard to imagine that it be made a required part of setting up the service. As to the power outage problem, it's true but that's what you get for saving some money, a less reliable service. Unless everyone goes to VoIP I don't see it being a problem, if the power is out and there is an emergency just go use the neighbors phone, same as if your line has snapped.
Way back in the day Altavista had a personal search engine. It ran under win9x and basically brought the features of the search engine to your personal docs. It could index almost all office type docs (no not just MS Office but all three of the major suites), email (Outlook and any mbox application), etc. I kept it running under win2k by doing an in place upgrade but unfortunatly it would not install under 2k or above so when it came time to reformat I lost the ability to use it. The indexer ran on a schedule or could be run manually, it would not only index local files but also one or more websites so before RSS you could use it as a news agregator. Overall it was very cool and I can't wait to see how Google implements the idea. Frankly it makes such a large productivity boost in your workflow that it's almost as big of an upgrade as from win9x->2k+ is.
Exactly, you don't get killed every time it rains and yet that water comes from 20-30 thousand feet. The terminal velocity of water is obviously low enough that its impact in negligible.
Hahaha, Cisco does a pretty good job of protecting the source code but there are so many people that need access to it and so many locations that have it that it's not entirely suprising that it leaked. There are literally tens of thousands of people with access to at least portions of the code base. Those people are at hundreds of locations around the globe. Hell I had root access to the local ClearCase server when I was a consultant at one of their offices. Remote access in was virtually non-existant, Cisco had what we refered to as the firewall of doom, almost nothing but email and web browsing worked through it and VPN access enforced a no split tunnel policy.
I had another repair tech actually do something quite similar. He had a non-functional but non-dead power supply which he plugged in with the cover off. He then proceded to kick the caps off the PCB. When I felt the hairs on my arms stand up I asked him to do that somewher fu(7ing else. He said that he was going to throw them to the newbie tech when he walked in. Luckily the newbie got delayed on a run and didn't come back till after lunch. That sadistic bastard probably WOULD have done it.
I also had a disposable camera at my first job shock the hell out of me. The photo lab girl had a disposable that she need to get the film out of but the cover wouldn't come open correctly. Well being the macho guy I was I ripped it open in the dark box and moved the film into the processing bag. When I went to remove the disposables mechanics I no longer had the protection of the rubber gloves built into the dark box, and got one hell of a shock! The reason the camera wouldn't come open for her was that a metal piece belonging to the flash assembly had become stuck in the clamshell part of the mechanics, when I ripped it open I left quite a bit of metal attached to the flash assembly exposed.
My third big adventure with high voltage while was at university. I was working in the advanced math lab with my TA and we were reconditioning some Sun LCII workstations (board and monitor all in one units). I was adjusting the focus on the picture tube of one unit with the plastic handled but metal shafted set of tools. Well I somehow brushed the main cap on the picture tube, the spark went up one screwdriver, jumped the gap between the tools by going through me and completed the circuit through the other tool. The energy released was so intense it melted part of the screwdriver shaft and knocked my back into a wall over four feet away. When I woke up I had a quite upset TA asking me if I was OK, turns out I was unconscious for almost three minutes and he was starting to get quite worried.
Probably, but the problem is, almost everyone at Case is a nerd. Add to that the fact that Case is basically a small city in the middle of the gheto and you don't have the most incubating environment for parties. A co-worker just graduated from Case last fall and he agrees that the school is definitly NOT a party school.
q6 is imperceptible from redbook in 19/20 samples for me, LAME --alt preset extreme (200-220 kbps VBR for most samples) is better at about 29/30 samples. This was from a double blind computer generated arangement using the same equipment and one listener with good hearing.

Ewww, ethernet for clusters is just *ack*. Use something with decent latency like say Infiband.
