Sure we can. We just wont however. At least not in our lifetime and I seriously doubt within the life of our children. I think there is a tendency during hard times for people to not invest in the future. Better to look out for number one at any cost. Hell, we could have done it 30 years ago. That's the trouble with capitalism, one must be able to provide a profitable results straight away. There is no room for the long game.
Seriously, Americans and Canadians are the biggest bunch of pussies in the world. Everyday we get to read stories like this and listen to everyone complain how unfair it is and how the government is doing whatever big business wants, yet YOU DO NOTHING! Oh, sign this online petition. Are you kidding me? Get a fucking backbone and do something about it! Do you watch the news?
France is the perfect example. The government does something the people don't want and they take to the streets in mass to force change. Meanwhile, your media skews the stories to ensure you side with the French government so as you don't get the same idea. Like always, you lap it up like good little lemmings.
Seriously, what must happen before you stand up for yourselves?
**disclaimer, I was arrested twice during peaceful protests, but at least I didn't sit on my ass while my government took my rights like you lazy fucks.
Packed with navigation gear and didn't get lost you say? Wow! Seems like a very achievable goal to not get lost when you are packed with navigational aids. I suppose what is more interesting is if they make the journey without human intervention..i.e..not needed a human to get them unstuck.
The really good news is how less likely this new configuration is to produce a "Big Bang Theory" embarrassing situation. At least, one hopes that is the case.
Well, no. It uses 3GPP 802.11, not Wi-Fi. And, it only uses that for the physical layers. Bluetooth wants to be come only the overlaying protocol without caring about the RF layers.
Additionally, Bluetooth tends to have much better power management than Wi-Fi does. Especially when you are talking about BT low energy and advanced power control features.
I find it frustrating that at our current rate of investment toward space exploration and science in general that I, most likely will never know the answer within my lifetime. My father recalls as a child it was assumed we would all have experienced the glory of space travel by now.
Still, any news like this is good news. Perhaps it gives hope to the future generations whereby causing them to make an investment in mankind's future.
Maybe the ITU does not know what 4G means? I assumed to mean 4th generation tech. 1 was Analog 2 was GSM 2.5 was GPRS/EGPRS 3 was UMTS 3.5 was HSUPA+ 4 is LTE
Certainly seems to be a 4th generation tech to me.
Yeah, but Asian chicks have bigger nipples, which I like, and lots of American chicks have huge areola, which creeps me out.
Are you referring only to tattoos on the breasts? I ask, since as last I was in Japan, I actually came across a lot of girls with tattoos, though sadly, I didn't see their breasts. Alternately, the times I have been to China, which is often, I don't recall ever seeing a woman tattooed.
Why is it that when ever a discussion about public employees comes up, someone invariably mentions something amounting to, "They are working for the public and should be flogged for misspending public money". Funny thing about public employees, they happen to be people as well. People, as you may well know have self interests. They also like to have fun. You show me someone who has never misspent company money and had fun on company time and I will show you a liar.
Yes, clearly the reason people don't buy Veyron is down to support costs. Certainly it's not the 2 million dollar price tag.
I think your car analogy is ridiculous. The only thing a Hummer and civic has is common is that they are both vehicles. Just as photoshop and firefox are both applications. That does not mean they are comparable. It would be more reasonable to compare like cars. Say, Hyundai Genesis and a Mercedes S Class. Both are 4 door sedans. Both are aimed at a similar demographic. The Genesis does all the basic stuff that the Merc does and even lots of the advanced stuff, yet somehow..it's just not the same thing. This is how I see OO to Office.
If your battery went dead, your handset would not perform a detach. The network would assume you are still connect but went into a building or something and would save your slot. For a set amount of time. I dont feel like looking into the core spec to see what that is, but we do test for that sort of thing when the phone goes through PTCRB or GCF certification. In fact, EVERY SINGLE phone sold in the US has gone though PTCRB certification. There are literally thousands of protocol and rf layer test cases covering GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS. Nearly all test cases are CAT A, so you MUST pass them.
If an application has access to the stack, it certainly has the power to bring down tower. THIS IS WHY WE TEST PHONES!
no no no. Its none of these things. It all to do with uplink and downlink slots. There are only so many slots per channel and only so many channels. THe more people downloading, the more slots they take per channel. That means the less people can fit on one channel but on a different time slot. This is especially true for EDGE class 10 and up since you can use 5 slots.
If you have several EDGE handsets support multi-slot uplink, you are killing the link budget for that particular node. UMTS has far more capacity in terms of channels and upload download slots. As such, many more users in the same amount of spectrum. Speed is not the reason carriers went to UMTS.
It seems like everyday we read about the mega companies doing this or that. Putting pressure on a politician to adopt the law they have written which greatly limits the rights of Americans. Each one seems to be more egregious than the last. More and more complain, yet less and less action is taken by the ruling class. It seems these days, our politicians don't even try to hide the fact that they are owned by companies.
I am really starting to wonder, will Americans rise up again against oppression? Will the point come where we say, enough is enough! ?
I have thought for a number of years now that the US is headed for a 2nd revolution. Not from outside controlling forces, but from the corporate extension which our government has been allowed to become.
Who knows. I would have thought that at the point where our government is breaking 12 year old girls and grandmothers to protect the failed business models of media companies we would have stood up and said, no more! Yet, we don't. I guess it's true what they say about things hitting rock bottom before they start to get better.
But, hey...we still have tons of people screaming about the government "wasting" money on energy research. The linchpin of modern society, and people complain about spending money to secure it's future. Makes me sad.

Then apparently you don't know my neighbors!
and another ridiculous Apple story makes it to the front page.
Doesn't fuck all matter when Bell owns the lines and can charge other providers the extortion rates.

I don't see Wi-Fi kicking out BT.

More portable than my netbook? I think not.
I can happily upgrade his RAM. Two slots actually.
Have you seen a freakin LTE pulse train??
It's nothing at like UMTS. Fuck, you need a new kind of analyzer just to properly view it.
Maybe the ITU does not know what 4G means? I assumed to mean 4th generation tech.

Apple would still make it un-replaceable ;)
Seriously though, would it not be even more interesting if something useful existed that could make use of these batteries?
This seems an awful lot like an advert to me. Should it really be on the front page?

I had booked the great place for a wedding on the 23rd. I was afraid I would be hosed!

Come on, I for one would love to know what my friends think of the new butt plug I'm searching for.
