The Mexico/US border doesn't move a lot. I don't understand why UAV surveillance of it is increasing, while the Boeing system of fixed cameras failed after a $1e9 investment. It seems like fixed cameras would be much cheaper than keeping planes in the air, and would create fewer privacy concerns.
Possibly because it's also a lot easier to disable fixed camera systems, being close to the ground and all. And don't forget the need to run cabling... And/or go around them, at least until you have the complete network in place.
Do you have some evidence that if we weren't at war, that taxes would be lower? Or even if taxes were lower, that the extra money would be spent on infrastructure rather than stock dividends?
The proprietary hardware and software devices aren't the problem, their proprietary commercial mail system that they didn't build out sufficiently is the problem.
Now if we could just back off the military spending, even just a little, we could upgrade infrastructure in the US. But military spending feeds campaigns more than citizens do...... and here we are.
Huh? You are aware that the Internet is owned by companies like Level3, which doesn't spend any money on military campaigns, aren't you?
Isn't that exactly the theory behind copyright as well?
The theory of copyright is that if you spend a year of your life and all your savings creating a useful device, that someone else shouldn't be able to come along, rip your work apart, and create a knockoff, charging less for it since they don't have research costs to recoup.
Yeah, because a Windows server is sooooo easy to setup. Have you used a modern Windows server?
I'm a windows server administrator, and have 185 2003 servers, 10 2008 servers, and 49 2008 R2 servers in my environment. I find it quite easy to set up and maintain windows servers. On the other hand, using vi on the 4 AIX servers I have to deal with occasionally--ugh.
I still don't understand why a windows computer is used for fileserver purposes. Something embedded with for example an ARM processor on it sounds must more robust and energy efficient to me.
Sometimes you want features. I suspect Linux has equivalents to these, but maybe not quite as easy to set up:
I do not recommend posting their mailbox address on Slashdot.
And if someone were to do so, I do not recommend subscribing their office to all sorts of catalogs and junk mail subscriptions.
That would be irresponsible!
China is only consuming about half as much oil as the US - assuming oil/energy production and consumption play a major role in global warming. On the other hand, most of that consumption is being done to produce goods to be shipped to the US and Europe. Can you really blame someone for bleeding if you're the one that cut them?
Quite true--we are outsourcing our production to them. The Chinese government could have chosen to put stronger (or any) pollution controls in place, however. So much for communism being about the people.
Perry got bought. He wouldn't have done it otherwise. This doesn't challenge my worldview, it reinforces it. (better luck next time)
I suspect there is nothing that would change your worldview. Still, my point is that conservatives are not against vaccines--it's nutjobs that are against vaccines.
How many hundred thousand dollars in contributions he received for mandating this.
If you are going to try to pretend that conservatives give a damn about children they you'll have to pick a better straw-man than an ignorant corrupt excuse of a man like Perry.
My point is, it's not conservatives that oppose vaccines--it's nutjobs.
Wait, I thought our standard unit of measurement around here was the LOC?
So, just how much damage does a LOC, when dropped from a great height, do to an urban area? Anyone know? This is Slashdot... someone knows.
p.
Depends on how high the swallows were when they dropped it. And if they were African or European swallows. Also, are you including the bricks and stone, or just the books?
Really wow things must have changed. When my friend went there it was the one of the most uptight strict place I had ever heard of. My friend would go out town so she could go to dance clubs. Remember I am old so this was a good bit ago.
Frankly she was really sweet but she had a kind of sad in the way she seemed to have faith but would only obey the word of the rules she said she believed in but not the spirt. I have not heard from her for a very long time funny how how a story can make you think about old friends.
The rules have indeed changed--students over 21 can drink off-campus. The new swimming pool is coed. And those are just changes since I graduated in 2006!
No I do understand but even with your going back to your dorm room you only hit 20 which is half of my 47 total. That would be a worse case. Jogging while having a smartphone in your pocket shouldn't case that many hits since it should be asleep for most of the time one is jogging. Still just seems really high to me. Plus does every student have a smart phone, tablet and Notebook at ACU these days.
It has been a while since I was in college and I never went to ACU. I knew a very pretty girl that went there... I have to say that she was interesting...
I'm a former ACU student--and former student worker in their networking services (2006). Right now, every student at ACU has an iPod or iTouch, plus their personal computer. ACU is a Google and Apple technology partner or learning center or something.
He got 47 per user by assuming there are 5000 faculty and staff members also connecting to the network. 5000 students + 5000 faculty/staff
That's not what I was disputing--there's about 1000 faculty/staff, by the way--my main point was that LWATCDR confused "connections" and "devices" in his counting.
Anyone knowledgeable about the conflict is 2.5GHZ that led the US FCC to limit wifi from using channel 14 (2.484 GHz)?
According to the FCC spectrum chart the top of the 2.4 wifi band abuts the "Standard Frequency and Time Signal" Band at 2.5 GHz. What is that used for?
There are only around 5.000 students at ACU based on their website. Even if their 5000 faculty and employees you are averaging 47 logins per person.
Does half the town of Abilene use the university as a hot spot or what. Even with an average of two devices per person that seems like a lot of users.
of course you could always throttle which ever band gets say more than 70% of the traffic.
It says 470,000 connections PER DAY, divided by 5000, is 94. So if you go from your dorm room (1) to the business building (2) to the bible building (3) to the library (4) to chapel in the coliseum (5) to english (6) and back to your dorm room (7), your one device just made 7 connections. If you went back to your dorm room in between each of those events, it would be 20. Now, consider that there are multiple floors and multiple access points per building, and it adds up very quickly. Imagine if someone went jogging with their iphone wireless enabled--you could make a new connection every 10 seconds.
Bullshit! That anecdote is no more grounded in reality than Reagan's mysterious welfare queen who collected 500 checks a week (who he never identified, which is a crime). Save your blatant and ridiculous propaganda for the people who already agree with you.

OMG! The government is saving the taxpayers money by using a drone instead of a helicopter!
Funny, but the reduction in cost won't be used to save taxpayer money, it'll be used to fly more flights for the same budget.
So now you're complaining that the government is being more efficient with the taxpayers money?
I mean ... that could just as easily be a police helicopter up there as a drone.

They don't pay taxes?

DFSR multi-master file replication
BranchCache for file caching either on your Win7 machine or distributed Win2k8R2 servers
Planned visiting the IP address, Malaga Spain, or North Korea?
The first is easy to do. The second and third doesn't explain why you would whois the IP.
I'd love to see North Korea for curiousity sake; darn me for getting my US citizenship that makes it illegal for me to visit now.
Supposedly one of the safest countries in the world to visit despite (perhaps because of) the communist ties.
And I hear they have a great visitor's facility where you can stay for free, for years at a time!

Yep none of his data can be trusted now. What a shame.
Surely, all of psychology is invalidated by one researcher faking his data. Psychology is clearly bunk. Next!
I think you missed the word "his". EvilBudMan didn't say that all of psychology was invalidated, just the work of one man. Try to read next time.
So all the coins have the impression of the current living monarch. What's the policy for outdated coins when the good queen dies?
