No spacial distribution like using beams 1 degree wide to turn a 100Gbps per 40MHz technology into a 36,000Gbps per 40MHz technology over the area covered by a synthetic array. Of course it doesn't quite scale like that because you have to spread out what part of the 40MHz your clients use so that clients in close proximity aren't using the same frequencies at the same time, but it's fairly amazing just how much bandwidth you can fit into an area using beam steering versus using a simple monopole. Currently most of the WiFi arrays use 45 degree beams and so they can achieve an ~6x improvement in bandwidth per area as compared to the naive approach.
If you're talking about the Clearwire 2.4GHz trial, that was correctly halted when it was proven that 80+% of the commercial GPS receivers in the test area were effectively jammed. It shouldn't necessarily be the case that licensed users are responsible for negligible interference on adjacent bands, but the Clearwire trial was provisional on them being able to show that they could leverage those bands without affecting critical national infrastructure and they failed. That the failure was due to the failings in design of the existing users is irrelevant, the FCC correctly decided that pitching the vast majority of existing receivers in order to give one player approval for a new use case wasn't in keeping with the public interest.
To achieve that kind of bandwidth the signal is probably going to have to be very narrow and so you can achieve greater throughput using spacial distribution as well and channel distribution. Some of the higher end WiFi systems already do this kind of bandwidth improvement by using beam steering technology to logically switch between multiple clients, the same kind of technology is also used in satellite systems where the same frequencies are reused many times between the ground and transponder.
Here you go, although he shuts down the Android stack on his device I believe you could use the same method while running linux on Android using this package. I haven't tried running X yet but I do run Debian on my phone, I got tired of the crappy tools on the stock Android cli.
Your argument could have just as easily applied to the freedom riders or other so call troublemakers during the civil rights movement, curtailing speech just because you find it distasteful is not the answer. So long as they are not calling for people to actively engage in violence their actions are protected no matter how vile they may be. Unfortunately the WBC is a real life troll group who make their living off suing the people they piss off and the communities that try to stop them from expressing their views, the best thing to do is to ignore them and to use our own voices to drown them out (veterans motorcycle clubs would rev their engines near them to drown them out during funeral processions and one group surrounded them and sung hymnals to shield the grieving families from their hate, these are much better reactions that physical assault or detainment).
Let's use your physical mail analogy, under your idea charitable organizations would not be allowed to mail people who have signed up as supporters unless they went through a commercial mass mailing company paying a huge fee per piece mailed. While that's kind of the status quo for poorly run charities with a high overhead cost none of the charities I choose to support are so stupid, why you would want to reduce the amount of money reaching deserving causes and feed the commercial mass mailers I have no clue.
Why? Listservs are older than SMTP and have always been one of the use cases for electronic communications. Plus it's not like those providers are blocking all listservs, just those that don't pay their friends stupid high monthly fees for the privileged of emailing their users.
Why? By definition he is NOT a spammer since his messages are neither unsolicited nor commercial. It should be fairly easy for the responsible parties to verify he following best practices and whitelist him but apparently that's too much work for the postmasters at the big 3 webmail providers. Basically the postmasters at yahoo, gmail, and hotmail aren't doing their jobs. I know if our email admin was so bad at rectifying false positives he wouldn't be here for long but because of the scale of these organizations that pressure isn't happening.
The forest will eventually regrow, unless they're salting the earth the same process that allowed the forest to once grow there will happen again. Watch any nature show on volcanoes and you'll realize how resilient life is, even on lava that's barely cooled you'll have first wave species growing so long as there is water available. The process might not be as fast as some people want it to be, but it's pretty much inevitable.
Meh, anybody who expected a bugfree, perfectly balanced game at launch never played a Diablo game, Diablo 1, Diablo Hellfire, Diablo 2, and Diablo 2 LOD were all bugridden and unbalanced at release and for the first few patches. Heck the first three never really achieved any sense of balance and LOD only kindof got there.
Meh, Dragon and Falcon 9 have been proven to work, the only thing lacking is the stamp from NASA marking them as man-rated, in actuality Falcon 9 is probably safer than anything NASA has approved as man-rated due to the nature of the engines. If we had a national security interest in reaching the ISS quickly without the Russians participation the crew capsule version of Dragon would be completed with little delay.
Don't think of it as saving fuel, think of it as increasing launchable payload with the same class launcher and therefore reducing your $/kg to orbit. For orbital satellites what it generally means is you can increase the on-orbit operational life because you can carry more reaction mass to re-boost the orbit.
Funny enough if you had read the article in question you would know that there is no river for Palo Verde, they use the treated wastewater stream from several nearby cities, and furthermore the plan for the next two generators at the site would have used almost no water but rather dry cooling towers.
The funny thing is that Comcast came up with the correct technical fix and now is on the path to abandoning it in favor of an economic fix. The correct technical fix is to apply a rate limiter on the heaviest users when the node is actually under stress, in the middle of the night there is zero marginal cost to the ISP to allow you to use lots of bandwidth so treating those bits as valuable is silly. Treating bits like they are water, electricity, or any other commodity is just wrong, unused bits have zero value and used bits only affect the availability of bits during that moment in time, so applying a speed cap during contention and upgrading the trunk line once some percentage of users have been throttled during a given sample period is the best solution overall, not data caps which do nothing to measure the value of the thing being delivered.
Not really, you can apply a propane torch to a puddle of diesel and not get it lit, when we used it to light bonfires with wet wood we'd have to use lighter fluid to get the diesel hot enough to vaporize and then it would finally burn.
Perhaps I should give it another shot, I had basically given up on it on my last phone and only used it for sites that would force me to a broken mobile site unless I used FF with the user agent switcher and then never installed it on the new one since it came with Chrome.
Yep, the fact that Chrome on my phone syncs my bookmarks (and open pages!) with my other machines is a killer feature for me, as is the fact that with 1 click I can get the exact same site I would get in desktop Chrome. Firefox Fenec just eats too much ram for me, it basically pushes everything else out of ram on my current phone and on my previous phone with 384MB of ram would push out not only all user apps but would actually push out my launcher causing a 30+ second delay when I dropped back to the home screen. I loved Opera Mobile on my previous phones where the competition was the Gingerbread Browser and the Blackberry browser, but having a real browser with pinch/ambiguous touch zoom is much better. I guess if I had a limited data plan or wasn`t on WiFi 90+% of the time the Opera compression stuff would be interesting.

6.5L and only 200HP, dear lord were those cars pathetic. Today you can produce that kind of HP from a NA 2.4L or a turbo 2L.

The problem was that the Google renewal came between the iOS 6 and iOS 7 release dates so they had to push up their own maps app to the iOS 6 release.

Because then the blocking companies would just subscribe to the RSS and the proxies would be blocked as soon as they were posted.
There are several distributed reputation filter systems but they are all commercial AFAIK.

Yep. that's why my work setup is 3x 1280x1024 monitors, lots of screen space with little waste.

I don't think you're going to get a model rocket into the highly secured datacenter of the NYSE, tinsel payload or not.

Huh? According to that wikipedia entry Palo Verde is the nuclear site with the 18th highest risk of earthquake damage, hardly what I'd call risk free.

Yep, and while it might be a civilian asset the military has always had a need for the most accurate weather predictions they can get their hands on.
