You're stupid if you are going to let a city start tacking things onto your cell phone bill. Haven't there been enough stories already about the problems you get yourself into once you okay outside charges onto your cell phone? This is not a credit card you're using here folks with the protections mandated for them.
And with all the other, bigger, problems facing The City by the Bay, why aren't they tackling them first?
Forget the sanctions, I want money in my pocket from Comca$t. I want them to cough over some cash for their lies, misrepresentations, fraud, double-dealing, and false advertising. And yes, I am a Comca$t subscriber so I am entitled to damages!
This blatant political whining has no place on Slashdot where we should be discussing issues logically, not emotionally. Why the moderators even allowed it through is beyond me at the moment. This is certinly hard news for nerds, and certainly not stuff that matters to anyone smart enough to see through Obama's empty promises at the get go. Change simply for the sake of change is a truly bad idea.
Remember that if McCain is the 3rd term of George W. Bush, Obama would be the 2nd term of Jimmy Carter.
So that's about 8165 x 6124 at your standard 4:3, and an image of approx 27" x 20" when printed at 300dpi...
I hope that you realize that your inkjet printer's DPI does not relate at all to PELS (Picture ELEments) resolution. In order to print the wide gamut of colors from just the CMYK inks, inkjet printers print color cells.
Example 1: An HP 600dpi printer has a 4x4 color cell (16 spots to put ink dots), resulting in an effective resolution of 150 pels/inch.
An Epson 1440dpi printer can put a partially overlapping ink dot every 1/1440th of an inch, but in terms of pels/inch it only manages about 240/inch.
The upshot is that most prints you see are less than 300 pels/inch, and they look beautiful. And sending an 1440ppi (Pixels Per Inch) image to your 1440dpi inkjet results in huge files and long transmission times just so that the printer can throw away about 90% of the picture information.
That's the simple solution to this crap. You sue and you lose your service monopoly.
With cable companies and cell phone companies vying to replace your land line you now have more options than ever to tell the telcos to behave or fsk off. They should be playing nice rather than playing hardball, and are probably quaking in fear that someone is finally going to realize that. Rather like the Impostor Syndrome of the beautiful actress who is convinced her whole career that she is neither talented, nor beautiful, and lives in fear that the world is about to tell her that at any moment.
I don't care about more fiber in the oceans nearly as much as I care about fiber in the last mile to my house. So far living in North America doesn't have me watching BBC streaming videos yet.
Of course, this does mean that ship anchors are less likely to take down countries than before.
Sometimes you have to wonder about Intel. Here they have their low-power small footprint completely modern Atom chip already working on the modern foundry process. So instead of a multiple implementation of them they go back to the P54C. Was Atom a poor design choice, or does the right hand not know what the left hand is doing? Why wasn't Atom P54C based also?
and why not keeping them in a country where privacy still means something, so that no US judge can touch them.
That didn't mean much to one European BitTorrent tracker site who was ordered by U.S. judges to turn over all access logs where the site didn't even keep logs to start with. The judge said in his infinite wisdom that because the data existed in RAM at some instant that the logs were required to be created and then turned over.
While I respect the USA law within the USA, I despise when judges attempt, often with too much success, to enforce it outside of the USA. And not just data laws. We enforce US sex laws in other countries to criminalize behavior completely legal there. This Is Wrong!
Google has just been stupid here about privacy, and now it's coming home to roost in a very public way.
The problem is that we I.T. people are Data Hoarders. Even if the data isn't useful today, or at all useful into the foreseeable future, we still hang on to it. And we save every detail we can just to prove how clever we are to have been able to discover it in the first place. (Note: P2P program writers are the same, and that's how Media Sentry can tell you so much about filesharers they discover on the Internet right down to the full directory paths of files.) Now if storage wasn't so d@mn cheap we wouldn't have this habit, but Moore's Law applied to disc drives means we no longer have to store 2-digit years and have Y2K problems. We have these problems now instead.
This is why the RIAA is able to use IP addresses combined with timestamps to identify ISP account holders. It doesn't identify any actual copyright infringers, but they don't care as long as they have somebody to sue. If these logs were deleted after 3 days this whole RIAA mess would have been a non-starter.
We just have this compulsion to hang onto everything because we can, and perhaps with the faint hope that somewhere down the line we'll be able to show extreme cleverness to our PHB's when they ask some inane question like, "Duh, how many unique IP addresses have accessed our website since 1991?" and we'll be able to say, "Give me 10 minute and I'll let you know (wag tail)."
Chances are that Google themselves has never had to follow-up on an IP address to identify a user for anyone except the Chinese government and/or the NSA, neither of which are our friends. The first poster who asks why they keep this at all, let alone weren't anonymizing it long ago has it right. This is hardly the first time Google has had to turn over access records so they certainly know that it can and will happen.
Don't be evil at Google seems to mean don't destroy data you never needed in the first place in the event that some government we want to keep as our friend might want it. But now we find out that more than just governments can get to it with baseless suits and moronic judges.
You're not making yourself look good here. Read the entire proof and then critique it objectively, rather than just insult the proof and the mathematician behind it. That would be taking the high road. Remember, you haven't proven this conjecture either yet.
More than even the speed most of the time what I most appreciate about broadband is its always on nature. For a long time with dial-up I actually had 2 phone lines, one for voice and one for data. Even so, connecting the modem took time of not already on-line for an impulse checking out of a web-page. Now I just open my browser whenever.

We already have a man-rated safe moon rocket. It's called Saturn V.

The problem with this drive is how to reliably and affordably back it up.
Of course for a non-critical application like my DVR it would be excellent!
I think you need to work on "your" English grammar and spelling.

Maybe you should be trying GPU-Z.

Oh, so 2 years from now (two lifetimes in the GPU business) Intel will be releasing a chip comparable to this month's ATI HD 4870 X2.
Will it include the FDIV bug X32?
Why not 486 cores? Then you could put 4X as many of them on your die. They already include integral FP and 1 op/cycle for most instructions.
Let me know when they get full Visual Basic up and running. Then I'm interested.
.NET version.
And I don't mean that C in VB Sheep's Clothing

Then there's the Apple version: iNTERCAL.
Google should just agree to turn over their source code in the Viacom suit after running it through a {sane language} ==> INTERCAL translator.
As bad as you want to say things have gotten in the USA, it's nothing like this yet. And all his contacts too? Wow!
