Being that I work for TWC in Austin, we do not provide 911 access for our digital phone subscribers. Although I suppose it's possible, but I would think the corporate office would have informed us of this. But being TWC is a franchise...well we never hear anything directly from the other regions.
And I suspect it's all the students and nerds downloading the torrent data. I'm being serious! I have friends all around the US on AIM and MSN Messenger that are stating the same thing. Does anyone have a record of bandwidth being used up on major interstate fiber routers? I would love to see them.
I can personally verify that 911 is useless if not dangerous. Because the response time can be in excess of 30 minutes after reporting a violent crime, it leaves a false sense of security.
I suggest everyone program the local police, fire, and ambulance number into their cell phones. I you have a home phone, print out the numbers and stick clear packing tape over it and on the base of the phone.
Do NOT use 911. It's more then a joke...it's fucking down right dangerous.
Being that I work at Time Warner, I kept telling my co-workers "Just wait, someone is going to sue us because their digital phone service went out or a friend of theirs didn't know the terms of service and tried 911". Then, big-gov will step in and shackle the service.
Guess what? I was right. Not because I'm the smartest person in the world, but rather it's because politics in America are so fucking obvious.
I remember watching an interview with Fidel Castro on CNN. Basically, he hates technology as it "corrupts" society as it's bent on capitalism.
Keep in mind Castro is fucking NUTS! He bases everything on irrational ideology to further advance his communist agenda. As far as he's concerned; screw any form of personal achievement as it demoralizes everyone out of equality even if it drags down the quality of life.
Sadly, we have some leftists on Slashdot that look up to him as some form of idol. Hell, I will prove it, just wait and see me get modded down.
Of course we can set it as high as we want... But people want to directly reap the fruits of their own labor rather then "hope" for an average sum payout by the government. So while communism sounds warm and fuzzy, it's history of sucess is anything but glowing.
Asking everyone to collectively work as a team in communism willingly is like asking everyone to sing "kum bi ya" and make peace. While it's not "impossible", it IS highly improbable.
I really wish fuck-tards such as yourself would get off your hight and might horse and face reality and human nature that forms it in everyday society.
There are a LOT of people in slashdot that would love nothing better than to see America fall and crumble. I call such people my enemy. If they wish the fall of America, then will make damn sure they fall first.
Ironically, such anti-american posts are futher proof of backing up and funding our military.
In 2008, Taiwan must release full control to the mainland. In not, China will invade. If Taiwan declares formal indipendance...China will invade. Also, why do you think China is in dispute with Japanese islands? It's a strategic area for our navy.
The mindset of China spans thousands of years. The culture of the chinese could give a damn about modern day politics. Rather, it's all about the dogma (and yes, it is dogma) of "reunification"....at *ALL* cost. Even if nuclear war breaks out, it's ok. It's for the "greater cause" in reunification
Would you *want* to outsource those people?!! Never outsource the police and military. If you do that, you are no longer a nation as far as I'm concerned.
It's a Chinese national security issue. The CCP does not trust software outside of it's own country for fear of hidden backdoors. They think Microsoft may have had the Pentagon place backdoors into Windows to be used in times of war.
I haven't RTA yet, but would the $4 "patent tax" be retro active or only takes affect with products sold now?
If it's retro, it's going to cost companies a lot!!! Being how saturated the WiFi market is, I can imagine profits are next to none. I can only imagine the total net loss of profit in the WiFi industry. And to make it up the loss, expect some real fucking expensive WiFi equipment in the future.
Your right, forgive me. China is NOT based on communism. In fact, the CCP is Totalaterian regime in disguise. How thoughtless of me for not being more exact.
What kind of batteries? Will they use the same Sony Li-Ion battery packs that digital camara uses? I wouldn't have a problem with this as long as it includes a charger.
You see. There will be this one game developed by the CCP regarding a war FPS game. It will contain real maps of American cities on the west coast and Tailand. As a bonus, it will reward players for good skills and automatically promote them in rank if they join Chinese military willingly...
OK ok, I'm kidding. But that would be REAL fucking scary if something like that happend.
Actually, it's the speed of the memory that makes more of an impact then the GPU. If your willing, download a program to overclock your video memory; benchmark it. Now, set it back to defaults and do the same for the GPU. You will quickly notice how memory bandwidth/speed makes all the difference in comparison.
I'm not saying GPU speed isn't important, but the speed of video memory is much much MUCH more important in regards to frame rate. That said however, I would rather have a 256MB video card with faster memory then a slower clocked card stamped with 512MB if priced the same.
The industry will charge based on what the market will bear.
No one needs a PC running at 1Ghz just for word processing, e-mail, and web browsing. But, the dirty little secret that people are afraid to admit is this... It's the gamming industry that is pushing the home PC market in regards to technology!!! Don't be surprised to see a 3 grand video card in the future.
PC gaming is like Golf. Its membership ranges from the casual player to the richest of wealthy elites. Thus, expect the market to price equipment (hardware) accordingly.

Because we have a bunch of pinko commies on slashdot. Isn't it obvious? Oh well, just read my sig.
Gee, you know...if I planted a farm, do I not deserve to reap the fruits of my labor? Hah, not on this forrum!

Jokes...must...stop...now.....but cant..
Lets's see.
1. Washington DC *check*
2. Rape Room (Oval Office?)*check*
3. President (former) *check*
4. Cigar (Cuban) *check*
Damn. Where can I fit Monica Lewinsky in this joke?
What government? Cuba does not have a government...at least not one were the citizens can vote. But who cares right? Let them eat cake.

1. Mount giant solar cells on Satellite along with capacitors and a giant fucking laser.
2. Aim from space.
3. Fire a pulse light right over someones head and assasinate them.
4. End war on terror.
Question: How do you tell one rag-head camel jocky from all the rest when viewing them from above?

Captain N, meet Captain P. Which game master will prevail? Will Captain M crash the party? Will there be a new Captain X to replace the current Cpt M?
Stay tuned...same bat-time, saaaammme bat-channel.
