everyone tring to download a map off of someone will kill the bw for a little while, getting patches from someone, as patches is getting over 100 megs and 30-40 people getting it takes forever
You can handle this with a switch that's got a Gig-E port. Nobody else needs >100 Mbps.
Given the wattanted lifetime of a good quality structured wiring installation is 15 years, and the bulk of the cost is the labour, rather than the components, it's a reasonable gamble to pay a small premium now to reduce the risk that you may need to prematurely rewire the entire building...
And the context was a home network. With one switch. It's going to be awhile before that thing feels slow.
The thing to remember there is that you don't have to synchronize the channels - they go as fast as they go. Multi-channel interleaved ram is a pretty easy way to speed up access, but it costs more (of course)
The stoner's friends calls are the most annoying. I pick up, say hi, they say, "Hey bill I got the stuff", then realize they called the wrong number and freak out. This would be OK if these people figured it out the first time, but apparently, they are either very dense, or this guy had a lot of friends.
Ahem:
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
But better still is a friend with weed.
I'd like to send details (names, dates, contact info) to certain people I know who are contemplating sending such 'opt in mailings'.
It may help if you compile a largish list of unconfirmed high volume lists and present them, along with the aforementioned details, saying "Here is a small sample of the lists we will be subscribed to"
When I was teaching myself to speak Japanese, I needed something to help my listening skills, and with no native speakers around, I turned to the internet.... So, I downloaded a bunch of Dragon Ball Z episodes off of IRC.
So, you learned japanese by listening to Goku swear? That must make conversations... interesting.
A simple programmatic check on the front page of Ford's site (about 3 lines of code) would turn away 99.99% of all the people coming through that domain.
A simple check of the host parameter (required for Http 1.1) would do the same thing for all of Ford's pages. No coding required, as this is handled by the server.

The buttons below were pretty cool too. One said "ok" and the other one said "lame!"
The lame thing was a hack on the dialog code. BillG made a fairly big deal out of bad or confusing error messages, so the devs got the idea to do internal builds with the extra button on every dialog so that you could report a confusing message on the spot. Pretty cool, actually.
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
Since this is a VM, wouldn't combining it with the content constitute normal use rather than being a derivative work? Looks to me like they would only be obligated to distrubute the VM freely
they didn't get big by coming up with somtihgn then just sitting on that and not advancing. they'll know that as technology changes so must they.
The recording industry hasn't had a new idea in 20 years. Kodak invented instant photos, then sat on that for 20 years, occassionally waking up to crush any innovation with their patents. Hollywood and network TV tried to declare VCRs illegal.
I don't just pick the first thing off the list. Usually, I look for 2 - 4 companies that have good prices on specific parts and good service. Also, I find that utilitarian websites designed for use tend to follow decent vendors around.
Why wouldn't you just bid the max that you were willing to pay for it?
People tend to think in round numbers - $250 and $251.55 are equal unless comparing exactly the same thing. Thus, It makes sense to add a little bit to your bid in case somebody picks the same maximum bid.
If there things cost less than $20, they'd totally wipe out the microdrive niche for high-end cameras - who cares if each picture takes 20MB when i've got 5 of these in my pocket.

Does Cat6 really have an advantage over the current network 100Mbit Network that I have at home
What doy you need >100Mbps for, anyway? Until you have an answer, just leave it alone.
what i am refering to is "dual-channel" RDRAM.

Ahem:
Or something like that.USB is a crap interface, with all of the transactions going through programmed IO.
The reason USB can get away with that is that it was intended to replace serial and parallel ports, which have fairly low bandwidth.

It's DASD or nuthin'
This was one of the elements that made the episode interesting for me; most SF tends to ignore the darker sides of the common person.
Just as an aside, some of the new Twilight Zone eps were written by Harlan Ellison.

Umm, except that in most countries people get online and access "data services" through the telephone network
Back to Japan - you don't actually need a PC for email and browsing. The phones themselves are sufficient to the task.

and what do you think is a T1 or a T3?
Precursor to OC-x. OC-1 is rated at 51.84Mbps.

Imagine no more cell phones going off in movie theatres.
That's pretty easy - surround the structure with grounded mesh 1/2 the wavelength of the stuff you're blocking.
Did they fix the bug where circular joins crash the DBc connection?
Ahh, cruel, bitter, irony...

Censorship in Australia is like the wearing of seatbelts in America. It is not mandatory.
Um, it is, actually. It's not always reason to pull you over, but you can be fined for it.
or one month, do your job according to the constraints imposed by the world of building construction.
Um, what's the building inspector going to do with my code, anyway?. Besides that, we don't even have the equivalent of building codes.
