Not quite, as the arument about speed is most often about wired net connections, not wireless.
Note that while the wireless of his area was saturated, his wired connection in a town of 13000 was 12-14Mbit/s via DSL. My understanding is that even in the densest of US cities your lucky to get 1/100 of that without fios.
Technically speaking, the speed sharing happens automatically. This because wireless (and cable broadband, heh) is a shared medium. Each active connection takes up a slice of time nobody else can use.
Luckily they keep coming up with ways to make the slices thinner and thinner, but once there are enough users on a given cell there will be a drop in speed pr user.
Then again, the advertized speed for any wireless system is for a single user on the cell under ideal (laboratory?) conditions. No way will you see those in the field.
The best story is when a Physicist managed to get his blog post about a possible theory for everything up on/., Digg and Reddit on the same day. I think his hosting provider was surprised at the traffic spike to say the least.
Just like the worst contender in the Linux netbooks segment, MSI, waved off the netbook market, Acer is now waving off the tablet market after having produced what appears to be the most buggy of the Honeycomb tablets so far.
Except that Apple do no such thing (outside of the paying bloggers part, but sadly there is no way to prove that).
Instead they keep deathly quiet, but ever so often there is a "leak" so some "rumor"-page that goes "Product X may show up in time for some holiday or other and may have feature Y!!!".
The ads only show up when a product is good and ready to be sold, after Apple have invited the press faithfuls and Jobs have delivered his superlative-soaked presentation.
Sometimes i wonder if the "leaks" are covert attempts at gouging reactions by seeing the net emotion it gets in the media.
Hell the only reason the iphone was announced months before it hit market, was because the FCC had to approve it and so the surprise would have been spoiled by the paperwork.
I think may be pandering to the stock market, as the modeling neoclassical economists apply there assumes that high risk equals high returns. Except that their models are about as real as D&D is medieval...
The smartphone will be the PC sooner or later, at least for anyone not primarily into content creation. The hardware is becoming passable as a gaming platform, and the IO is extensible in multiple ways (just observe what Motorola did with the Atrix by simply giving it mini-hdmi and micro-usb ports).
End result is that one can dump the phone on the desk and plug it into various stationary gear to watch movies, work on documents (consider a Android phone that goes from 2.x interface to 3.x interface when the video out is active) or game.
Not sure where monogamy arose from, as some of the older cultures had no issue with polygamy (at least on the part of the male). Mostly the sleeping around thing seems to be a issue of male line wealth inheritance. One want to make sure that the kid popping out of the female is related to the male, and so one mandate virginity on part of the female until the wedding night and monogamy afterwards.
Seriously, the very next day Quickoffice announced editing support for MS Office files on the Touchpad.
Hell, it had been on the market how many months? and only in North Am. and UK? One sticking point someone elsewhere mentioned was lack of Netflix. No problem elsewhere in the world, as there are no such service anyways. HP should have gone global ASAP.
The latest that is available in the field is moving the nerves around so that what was once moving the arms and fingers now manipulate small muscles on the chest.
Indeed. Wifi-b also has this issue as Europe have 2 extra channels that can not be used in US, and japan has 1 that is outside of both of these.
So what happens is that they make devices that can work everywhere, but is limited based on the driver shipped in the box (or even the nationality settings of the os used). Question is: if a citizen of a European nation travels to USA and happens to use one of those illegal channels, will his device be confiscated?
And it did not help that the real seller for Windows, MS Office, did not get tablet support at all thanks to a exec that did not see the point, and stonewalled any attempt at adding features that would make tablet use easier.
I think perhaps the biggest complaint is that ARM lacks a unified bootstrap and hardware bus. As in, there is no BIOS like on the X86, nor is there a PCI or similar that one can query and get a dump of device ids. So for a lot of the SoCs you basically need to know what is on there before you start sending signals.
You fail to take into account the officers and such reporting crime in different ways.
An example from British healthcare was that the various hospitals started redefining corridors as rooms, and popping wheels off the stretchers and calling them beds.
Seeing those numbers reinforce my suspicion that ISP backends in US are set up based on numbers gathered in the dial-up era, while the usage pattern have changed.

And those moral rights, of french origin under "the rights of the author", is what gave the world its life+something copyright duration.

Given me even more respect for the fat guy and the rest of them.

Shareholders are like Cuckoo chicks. As long as they get food, they do not care who gets trampled on.
It's a oldie, but it keeps on being relevant.

Two options then, a neo-luddite movement, as seen in AI and elsewhere, or bootstrapping a star trek like economy.

This is then mapped into the electronics.

Bah, just say it as it is: Corporations are feudal fiefs by a different name.

Question is how the inputs will be gamed by the people involved.
