The transformer may have been for something else. I recall the switching was powered from the CO. It was an Army base, and a long time ago. It was dark and cool, the basement of an old brick building not far from where I am now. The building is still there, but I don't go on the base any more.
Well yeah. I didn't get into the game until 1984. People have a strange aversion to change wrt telephony. By 1989 I had gone cellular and had way too many conversations like "no, what is your HOME phone number?". "My cellular phone IS my home phone. When I am home that is how you call me. When I'm not home, you can still call me. Now can I rent the movie?"
Old geezer confession... When things got really rough back in the day I used to take a break and sit in the dark switching closet and listen to the electromechanical relays go clickey-clack. Here a call, there a call, imagining the vast global web of conversations. Some would spark and the blue-green lights were a beautiful visual In the darkness, the transformer a barely audible bass hum.
This is great if a transformer blows. For many people their pstn wire is on the same poles as their power and if the lines are down, the lines are down.
Google didn't send a CEO to Moto to drive the business into the ground prior to acquisition and drive the price down. Motorola Mobility did that to themselves before Google got involved. They put the business in such a state that Google had to either buy it or let the patents for the cellular phone go to patent trolls. Those patents include codec patents important for Google's free and open codec. People seem to be forgetting that piece.
It is important also that these patents are not being used against Google and their partners in court threatening to. Rockstar would love to have them.
What good is it to be an early adopter of the new version if you can't use it and your power geek skills to make documents the laggards can't read? The whole point of it is to make them admit they are inferior.
BMG foundation is doing needful stuff. Their volunteers are risking their lives to rid the world of the scourge of polio. Some are dying for the cause.
We talk all the time via email. The most common response is "stop stalking me". This is code for "help! I am kidnapped by the military/industrial complex!"/joke
Well yes, but the inherent rotation of the universe leads inevitably to a fractal landscape of gravitational vortices, from the POV of this reference frame. From this we can infer the brane wave collision was sidewise rather than head-on, and the angle of collision determines the rate of spin for this universe and the things in it. It's all there in the math. We can deduce some things about the incident that caused our universe and the structure outside it.
There are some thorny issues remaining about the rate black holes consume dark matter and energy, but that will be worked out in a decade or two. The solutions will shine more light on our position in and the nature of this fractal landscape, and lead to more questions of course, as is the nature of fractals.
Verily the sound of whooshing overhead doth bespeak the heart of the matter escaping thee. 'Twere better thou mind thy muttons and leave these heathens to their devilish ways.
Apparently their system works with the hardware they have. They don't have to borrow trouble. In the future they can choose hardware that works with it.
My quick reflex was to ask "whar Clonezilla" too. I use cz to image systems by the thousand and ltsp to netboot guest thin clients. They are both great stuff. Apparently they considered the lessons Clonezilla gave and leapt from there. Don't forget that as useful as clonezilla is the primary purpose is to image supercomputer nodes, not end-user laptops.
What about viruses, anti viruses, malware and antimalware? Novell network compatibility? Flash and Silverlight, IE and Exchange compatibility - and persistent mutual incompatibility? Patch Tuesday and its need to intercept updates, test against your set of mission critical apps before rolling them out and then triage and treat the inevitable undiscovered issues? Recurrent planned obsolescence? SharePoint and pirated Photoshop? Landsharks? Goblin invasion?
It appears they have chosen to operate in a domain where these problems don't exist. Good on 'em.
The event horizon oscillates faster than the speed of light over a greater distance than quantum tunneling can occur. Inbound light would follow the wavefront in, only to become trapped as the next wave built outside its escape range.
We do so know how to achieve interstellar travel - only slowly with generation ships. We lack the will to commit the resources. At the moment it seems likely any such mission would merely be wasting time and passed or picked up on the way out by more advanced technologies. But the knowledge how to set out on such a voyage? That we have.

They never said *when* you would hear the pin drop.

Most people have been digital from the central office for over 20 years. Only the last mile has been analog for a rapidly shrinking fraction.
Ars is reporting that the bill was written by John Federico on behalf of the Kansas Cable Telecommunications Association, of which he is president.
Might need a fresh waxing.
Yeah, right? Who cares what share IE has with... Web developers.

Thank you for self reporting. You are the problem.

I thought they were barely profitable. They must be scraping money together somehow.
This is what I was going to say. No doubt Google will keep the tax benefits somehow. Lenovo doesn't need them.
Most 10Gb Ethernet ports use a gig each just for buffers.

We have a winner. Congratulations AC, whoever you are.

This is fun. Recreational eschatology
