I use more than one computer and the main problem is one person uploading while the other wants to download. So it really should be implemented on the router. Will this work on the WRT54GL?
Yes, but look at the JPG. It looks like someone blurred the edges. Same with the football player--you get a lot crisper edges for the blue background/shirt and background/skin too.
My auto shifts down when it will get more out of the gas by shifting down. At 45 (my speed before most passes where I drive) this is at about 1/3 of the way down. It also does a good job at doing the same on hills, though it does no detect the hill coming. But then again, when I drove a manual I worried more about clutch wear than MPG and I just left it in 5th on the gentle hills and only changed gear if I threw it down to 3rd... so I'm definitely much better off my my auto going for 4th to 3rd when it thinks it is a good idea.
In addition, if I really cared, I could just set the auto gear with D4, D3, 2, and 1 as options. 2 is nice for low torque starts too in slippery conditions.
No, you just have no perspective. There are a small handful of industries that Democrats are for, you just happen to hate them. But there is nothing to say that that is what is going on here.
This how the government works best, it gets private industry to police itself. When the industry steps out of line, consumer keep it in check. Now, granted, ISPs are probably not a great example of that, but they are at least somewhat concerned about consumer requests.
The author argues, "it seems out of line for the US government to be involved in pressuring these companies, whether they're ISPs, domain registrars, payment processors or ICANN itself, to 'voluntarily' block websites without a trial or due process." Uh, what about preventing a movie from being seen in the theater by people under 18 without a parent (R) or unless they are 18 (NC17/unrated)? Where is the due process? If you don't like your rating, you have to change the movie, you can't appear to anyone. But it is WAY better than the government doing the ratings itself... so it stays in private control as long as it keeps working.
If something like this passes, it will require social network sites, email providers that sell in the US, and websites that operate other messaging services in the US to provide wiretap equivalent (not the backdoor key, just the tap results). These taps will still require court order (if the communications stay within the US or regard a non-terrorist suspect citizen until the SC rules on that). This will not end SSL type connections because the tech industry will successfully lobby against that and point out that it is stupid to think banning SSL is going to help anything.
In the end, it will be no different than your phone/cell phone/other common carrier voice communications.
I suspect most slashdotters are actually more worried that this means that their torrents will be tapped, but this won't happen either.
Payrole is 1,000 times easier. There you have voluntary relationships (between firms). When the USG or even an organization of counties starts to standardize there are counties that will object just because they don't want to play nice.
There are counties with no roads, counties with less than 100 inhabitants,they don't all have an email address, etc.
I'm not really sure what your complaint is, or why it has to be. If DOE wants one set of restrictions and DOS wants another... so be it. If the interaction becomes a big deal, then let some high level committee spend time trying to figure it out. Until then, follow KISS.
What about the Valery Plame scandal? There it turned out that all these white house officials had access to all this S/TS info and weren't really even paying attention to what was S and TS and didn't pay for it at all.
not really. The US government is huge and (hold on to your hat) is actually reasonably efficient. Most of this efficiency comes from not making things completely uniform unless it helps a lot. So, the name given to things that are not subject to FOIA requests but are not classified is a good example. Why make one standard? Why not just let the department of energy call it "for official use only" and the department of state call it, "official use only." You could make a commission to argue over it and then force everyone to buy new stamps and go back and restamp everything... but what a waste. Just let each place figure it out and don't mess with success.
Your links appear to say that Tories plan to dismantle NHS, and there was anecdotal evidence of problems at a NHS hospital, much like the anecdotal problems at US hospitals... so... you agree with me but would like to point out the recent UK election means that basically conservatives don't like public health care?
You initially wrote, "I don't even have to get into how many truly socialist bills have been passed in just the last two years." I asked you for examples other than the stimulus. You named
a bill that passed in the previous congress (1998) and was signed by George Bush (TARP)
the stimulus (which you don't appear to know the name of but call (ERRA)
A bill that hasn't passed (extension of the tax cuts)
and a bill that didn't pass the Senate (and so did not pass the congress)
You are ignoring the part were every other country with socialized medicine, (1) pays 1/2 as much (2) lives longer, and (3) has lower infant mortality rate. Diet and genetics can only explain so much.
What if we dropped our medical system and went to socialism? If our experience was like every other developed country in the world, national spending (government plus private) would be cut in half, life spans would increase and infant mortality would drop. It's not like there is a few countries that have had socialized medicine work well and others than have had it work poorly for their national health care. It is also not like some have had it cost more than we spend and others have had it cost less. No, every other developed country pays less for longer lives.
I don't really care about stories about waits or anything anecdotal, what I care about is results. Plus, if you think there are no waits in the US... you haven't been to see my doctor recently.
Think of France. You get whatever you want there and pay nothing more than the taxes. You can have a doctor visit your house 24-7, for no additional fee. They pay half as much of GDP on this as we do on health care. You might think the doctors aren't as good, but then why do they live longer?
How so? In the US one party was against the invasion of Iraq and the other was for it. In the UK, I know labor was for it but I'm not sure about the Tories.
Please do get into how many socialist bill that have passed. I count on (really big one): health care reform. And if being a socialists and paying half as much for health care and living longer is wrong, I don't want to be right.
But you didn't say that there was lots of change, you said "how many truly socialist bills", so I really wonder what you think congress has done that is socialist.
It only "presages" the iPhone in hind sight or when combined with knowledge that an iPhone is likely soon.
Think about it: that is a great technology for my laptop too, who says it isn't going there, or to an iPod touch type device? Plus, in this environment, you patent everything you think of, not just the stuff you are going to use.
If we all use GMT, and it's a live broadcast, it's on at 11. Period.
Well, that's a huge problem. What if I want to watch baseball and someone else in the house wants to watch soccer. Since they are both on at 11, we have to get a second TV. Plus, how are the players going to feel about having to be up in the middle of the night when they aren't in Europe or Africa?/sarcasm
Most TV is on at the same local time because people want to be able to watch it at about the same (local) time of day. Local time makes sense.
By the time a patent becomes public the inventor has sent it in about three or more years prior. If we haven't already seen this, it isn't likely to happen soon. go to appleinsider and checkout all the "apple patent points to" things you've never seen. Obviously, they don't report on the patents that you have seen (who would read, "Apple patent points to phone with touch screen and accelerometer.") so it is a little hard to know the time to market versus time to patent delay, but I've never seen anything an "Apple patent points to".
Do you think red woods are becoming paper though? I would guess that they are used principally as a construction material with wood made with the waste. Paper comes from tree farms' weak new growth logs--but the pacific NW will soon of plenty of that too--will the loggers wait for the redwoods to come back or just clear the birch every 10 years?

But helium regularly escapes the Earth's gravity field... so maybe it isn't so crazy to think you could take a balloon into space.

except that it sounds like he is complainging about the chip maker, not the new "owner". If he did the latter, it sounds like the police would help.

I have mod points, but I can't find "+1 just sad" or should it be -1 so others don't have to read it... not sure.
3,086 counties... 3,086. But they also change boundaries and merge and split. It would be a nightmare to try to do anything national with them.

TV shows now on at "8, 7 central" would be on at "24, 1 Mountain, 2 Pacific, 4 Alaska and Hawaii" think of all the wasted time listening to that!
But that's the only flaw I see.
The sad thing is that you half as much for your system than the US does for its public health system... and ours only covers people over 65.
