The rest of the services you mentionned are correct. HiDef video is a bitch and will ultimately require 100Mbps connections to feel comfortable (2-6 simultaneous 1080p channels that are not overly compressed and spare capacity for interwebs) and it ought to scale up to 10Gbps residential by the time we're all dead to keep up with new demand and uses (continuous HD backups will happily eat up a few dozen Mbps for instance).
You've heard it here first, folks! 10Gbps is all we'll ever need (our grandchildren will be mutants so they will use mutantnet, which is just like the internet but costs more because it's AT&T)
Fiber is fiber is fiber. It's marginally more expensive to deploy 100 strands instead of one, and having ridiculous overcapacity. Not to mention all the dark fiber out there.
The real cost of upgrades is simply faster switches to make sure switching between 0s and 1s is done as fast as possible, something that needs to be done all the time, by any internet provider and which SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN MAINTENANCE COSTS!
ATT wants you to picture them rewiring the entire country with gold fiber, Monster cables or some other horseshit.
I'm not going to bother commenting about the 20 families broadband usage. That's just meme fodder:)
The Opium's main purpose was to get silver. The british learned that drug addicts are very trustworthy clients and will provide you with a nice flow of silver which can be used to buy tea, silk and other things.
The chinese wanted to keep outside influence out and they held somewhat xenophobic views of the non-chinese. Both were their rights and british greed (or aggressive enthusiasm for free trade) was not justified and opium smuggling was clearly wrong to everybody back then. (though I'm for legalizing drugs today in the U.S)
So, opium was just immoral currency, not a weapon to weaken the chinese.
You're describing the difference between honor and reputation and I agree. But we live in a world where reputation is currency and honor is private so the resulting amalgamation for political reasons is to be expected.
I'm just describing the situation how I think it is looked at. My own views are irrelevant because I don't know enough and I don't care enough.
I didn't say chinese people were a hivemind, I'm just talking about the government position which is aligned to that of those who claim CNN is out to get them or whatever.
Notice that i didn't say an independant Tibet would be a good thing or that the chinese are in the wrong. My knowledge of the situation is woefully inadequate.
My own countrymen face a similar situation with the western Sahara's claims to independance and Moroccans definitely feel insulted by it. When part of your country wants to secede, it's a pretty clear slap in the face: "You suck, we want to control our borders and do our own thing, kthx!". I get how you feel. There are chinese living in tibet, they get the same deal as tibetans, so what's the problem?
The world is complicated. I stand by what I said about face.
The chinese people are not going to suddenly admit that Tibet is not chinese and that they've been the bad guys "oppressing" the innocent natives. To do so would mean a great loss of face for them.
No, their only face-saving posture is to accuse the western media of being out to get them. For many chinese, it's very bad taste to ruin the Olympic games which bring honor and prestige to China.
There is a documentary out there about failed suicide bombers (blast didn't kill them, bomb didn't go off, etc.). Can't remember the name but look for it and it might answer your question.
You can't understand because you are not them. I can't understand why anyone would take pleasure in hurting people or animals without cause. I can't understand because i'm not wired that way. The same goes for you. You're actually better if what you say is true since the end result for you is satisfaction and happiness.
So I say: Good for you!Eenjoy your life, don't apologize for your good joss and pity those who can't figure out their own way and are miserable. Make it a challenge to not make things worse for them and try to see the good in them since that is your strength.
Why do people fall for this crap? p4p? No need for regulation? WHAT?
What is needed is to lay down lots of fiber where none exists. PERIOD! How complicated is that? We need more and more throughput and lower and lower latencies. The only goal is for every home to have fiber.
Not Wimax, not powerlines, not 812.n or any other unreliable, slow crap. Those are only temporary bandaids and should only be used as such or to complement fiber. All data that can travel through fiber should do so.
Fucking cocksuckers and their bullshit.
It costs money but it increases global wealth. End of story.
We're better off letting everybody code and live with malware. 1000 insecure programs generate more wealth than 5 secure ones in the short and long terms.
Well! It's a good thing you offered because we're not getting anywhere with the BBC and my smashing lady needs money for catfood. Anyways, just make the check to CASH and send it to:
Ye english ISPs London, England.
ps: If you could send a little extra, mp3 downloads are killing us, it'd be capitol!
I did construe your original post about us killing gators correctly, if that's any consolation to you.
And you make a good point about hypocrisy, though it is ultimately true that you could go live in the wildnerness or otherwise refuse to be part of the cycle, thus you are a small hypocrite, like pretty much all of us.
However, you are wrong. We are not a patient species, we die fast and we seek exponentially more, with the ultimate goal of Godhood. Wipe out species, go on suicidal missions, commit unspeakable horrors and perform risky experiments. That's mankind for you.
You may agree with Agent Smith that we are a virus, but at least things never get boring in the kingdom of man. That's something:)
Taxation? Yes. A clever ploy to give an incentive for conversion to the Dhimmis who don't really care about their religion and their offspring.
Oppression? If by that you mean legal historical social discrimination or segregation, sure but to a much lesser degree than black segregation in the U.S for instance and based on varying interpretations of hadiths, not the Koran. Shame on any muslim who is guilty of lack of love, tolerance and respect for human life, regardless of belief. Hell, shame on any human.
Enslavement? No. Specifically forbidden and a mortal sin.
The problem is that people amalgamate religion and fallible, temptable, potentially evil adherents. People are the problem with their pesky free will and weakness of character. If you expect a religion to just reprogram any self-proclaimed muslim into a saint, then feel free to bash Islam all you want because it clearly failed.
I bought my car because it's fun to drive. I bought my 30" LCD monitor because it's better for my eyes. I can put it farther, use higher resolution with bigger fonts and icons.

No it isn't. It's 32 Gbps actually.
I agree wholeheartedly, we've been screwed through and through. People need to go to jail for this.
VOIP consumes negligible bandwidth (8 KBps).

Oh my God! This is the best news I've heard in a long time! AT&T's top lawyer has just promised us 20 TBps residential internet in 3 years.
I can hardly wait! Imagine how many BluRay porn discs we can download every second!
I love you AT&T!

Quite simple really.
Swarms and multicast are just like poop and flies, they may stink and you may not like them, but they belong together.

That's how Sweden, Japan and South Korea did it. They gave a shovel and a hundred yards of fiber to everybody.
Don't be an idiot. It doesn't matter who does it as long as it's done. Companies, government, as long as joe schmoe gets his cheap fast fiber.

Yes, with one condition. All the goons must wear ninja attire and use ninja weapons.
I'm strongly anti - gun violence.

Theremite burns way too hot and fast! You want the malware to die slowly and painfully, thus gasoline. Duh!

Buying a DVD when there is a BluRay available...AND you already have a BluRay player? That's madness!!
Just download and stream/burn the pirate DVD and buy a legit BluRay copy when the price seems fair to you!
Why should you get saddled with a *MUCH* inferior version and waste plastic. Let someone who only has a DVD player buy it.
By god! Don't surrender!

Thank you for pointing the obvious to the GP.
I bought my car because it's fun to drive.
I bought my 30" LCD monitor because it's better for my eyes. I can put it farther, use higher resolution with bigger fonts and icons.
And on and on.
It was a pleasure to read your post, sir or madam*. Thank you for making this blog worth visiting today!

NT4 was a very solid OS competing with win9x.
win2k and win2k3 are also solid and compete(d) with ME, XP and Vista.
The approach works.
