Just curious. How do you burn through 300 GB in a week? I think an hour of Netflix programming ~= 1GB, so 24x7 use of Netflix would be about 100 GB in a week. What's a bigger bandwidth hog than that?
This is actually an important question I would have asked myself yesterday.
Today, however, I have been trying to find a way to build an image for some android development kit. Every try for every different version pulls 60GB off some branch of codeaurora.org. Most likely something could be improved, but as of now that is how it goes.
In any case, while it seems insane, the faster the devices we work with, the 10x more insane the data we collect and need to move. Compressed video is ridiculously small compared to the TBs I have to deal with all the time. Waiting for these transfers are costing, especially when you know they would zip through in many other parts of the world.
It is very frustrating to wait for data when there is a fire to fight.
And I am sure ISPs have loads of b/w available. A few months ago, my connection was switched to 100Mbps, and it was that fast all the time. My provider must have realized its mistake and I am now back to 30... giving me back time to waste on/.
Not good. I mean I like this site, but I would rather be productive. And yes, after hours, I work from home, like I am sure many of us.
Off topic but thanks to open pipes in between different minded individuals. 15 years of linux in an international biz and I had never heard of units.

I do live in the SF bay area and it feels likes most of the rain gets immediately back to the sea. Clearly we have not reached 97 rainfalls yet, when the water went over the levies in the Sac delta IIRC. In a pile of subjective opinions, it is nice to find a rose.
On Android, you can use the AdAway application from F-Droid.org unrooted. It uses a proxy and work pretty well.
From both the app website (http://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/adaway/) and F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway), this statement seems incorrect.
"Requires root: Yes. The hosts files is located in/system which is normally read-only."
xfinity bundled (digital premier) services 209.95
additional xfinity internet services (modem) 7.00
additional xfinity voice services (mandatory taxes) 1.60
service protection plan 2.99
taxes, surcharges and fees 10.95
It is my only possible internet provider, and the only shows I occasionally watch are on these premier channels satturated with crappy soft porn.
Seriously, that is a lot of money to get internet and occasionally watch a football or a tennis game. $10 for 50GB really is a rip-off at this point.
Only because they have a monopoly can they charge this much for their services _and_ the upload speed is still capped at a 100KB when I am lucky, so forget hosting anything.
Only positive point: customer service has improved a lot in the last 5,6 years.
I tried AT&T, but their service is the worst I have ever experienced, from cell phones data to dsl.
Sometimes I really wish I could teleport to Seoul...
I am sure that at least in the US, reviews like Point Of Beginning , Inside GNSS, Professional Surveyor Magazine or GPS World will be interested if the work is valid.
That is what they promised, and why I signed up for Hotmail. It was free, it was great, it was _independent_.
It was 1995. I knew I would physically move within the global village, and I needed a permanent address. Microsoft very quickly bought this successful idea, crippled it but did not, to its credit and my surprise, completely kill it. My addresses are still valid, I still use them, and among the international spam, I can still receive messages from my friends.
Comcast offers a miserable storage space for a maximum fee and arbitrarily bounces emails when they do not come from the same zip code. Notifiying the recipient is obviously beyond their ability. That is true, they could do even worse and drop the messages altogether and never notify the sender either.
That being said. It did hurt me hard when Hotmail was acquired by the Evil Empire. MSN is as much as I can take today. If I have to see Microsoft in full letters, I'll puke my last ties with it and a long gone global, free internet. I'll just set some email server at home.
Without the OSS move, internet would have been a very sad story. I knew from the start that corporations would very quickly try to clog and profit from the communication pipes. Thanks to free OSes, nobody but old farts or young idiots has to use hot or g or rocket or whatever mail.
RIP Hotmail, and big thanks to the original creators.

Biggest loser might be GPS device makers: Why spend $500 for a portable GPS unit when you can have the same thing (and get the "killer app" of Google-searchable maps, plus the nice bonus of satellite imagery, which can't be done on a portable GPS unit) in your phone for the same price?
ADO.NET, ASP.NET, System.Configuration, and Windows.Forms only contain partial support for 2.0 APIs, full support will only be available in Mono 2.0.
How partial is that support?
First try:

But bull is all over the place. It seems to me that spam should be addressed just like the no phone call list. Make it worldwide and addressed by whatever institution that can.
But when we (and/. people are likely to filter out 90% of the crap) receive again and again, for years and years, messages targeted at get 'some brand of stay hard all night' pills or 'get bigger and longer' miracle solution, isn't there be an easier way to get rid of the pest at the source itself?
There are many scavenger occupations (and maybe all are) but the real cause is the source of the distributed product. Or am I missing anything? The same goes with all this ssh login attempts. They all originate from the same sources and there is a distinct lack of prosecution.
That is interesting, thank you, but there is no way I can do that if I do not have enough space to download and extract SP2. I have access to other machines, but I still think this is rather cumbersome.

Aren't you shooting the wrong way here?
As far as I have seen so far, BT hw is quite generic. Have your whatever software open its source today and it will talk to your elusive hardware tomorrow.
Possibly. I got tired spending hours trying to call for support.
If you know of any company who allows you to serve data from a socket with your GPRS phone, please let me know. I know for sure that ringular does not allow dial up data link between two cell phones. I am also fairly sure that tmowbite firewalls do not open any port to any rover.
I of course may be wrong, so if data links are available I would love to know where and how.
They already prevent data links from mobile to mobile, which prevents you to serve anything with your phone, whatever the protocol. When they sell an unlimited transfer plan, they only forget to tell you that the upload rate is 0.000 microbit/sec.
At two or three embarked atomic clocks the US or the EU can send them into space, but they are probably still a bit expensive for local communities to be installed on a roof (NTP comes a bit short here).
Local radio-localization is probably much cheaper and has the advantage of being redundant in case anything goes wrong. Just like traditional ILS for planes.
If you are not sure, then do not post, or at least do not spread FUD.
"Out-of-the-box GPS has horrible accuracy for travelling into dangerous waters."
You must be looking in the wrong box. An autonomous position is today well within 10 meters (50ft). Seems pretty good for a boat.
"Obsolete in the older sense of beaming visible light, quite useful in beaming corrections to a GPS unit"
Yes, the USCG have been using land stations for ages but, 1, it does not have to be a lighthouse (the next big hotel is probably a better) and 2, in most cases, radio waves will not go much further than the horizon. This is why they are now sent from augmentation satellites (WAAS, EGNOS, etc.).
That will easily narrow down your position to 5 meters, anywhere in the world and you do not even need a separate radio.
Centimeter-level accuracy is indeed possible with differential positioning, but not further than a dozen cliks, and I doubt this is a useful technology aboard a 20' sailboat.
Bad Sun. Bad. Fedora is not the only rpm based distrib.
