I've had fios for a year. It's been out once and that took several hours to fix. The whole neighborhood was out. There was one instance where I noticed the net connection seemed slow (I work remotely using tarantella and vnc). I checked it on speedtest and it was definitely slow for a few hours that day.
I hit speakeasy's speedtest about once a week and other than the one time it was out, and the one time it was slow, it always pegs at my max bandwith (15Mb down, 2Mb up).
I don't know the frequency of my IP addr changes, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was weekly or something like that.
"The plane can land itself without remote involvement. Way to fail to understand the topic at hand! Military planes have been doing this for years. So can certain commercial airliners, already."
Really. How do you suppose the plane knows where it is?
I've read and liked several of Piper's books (when I don't desire God, etc...), read a lot of Christian theology, and liked Snow Crash. I read neuromancer when it was new and I was in grade school, and to this day it remains among my favorite books.
The boy, a 14-year-old who suffers from epilepsy, is the first teenager to play a two-dimensional video game, Space Invaders, using only the signals from his brain to make movements.
Don't video games all come with warnings about epilepsy?
The second, cell-phone-style screen on the outside is cute, but what would be really useful would be one or two additional laptop screens that would swing out like a two fold restaurant menu. While a triptych screen laptop might be a little heavier and need strong hinges, it would be great for video editing and such...
I think a good head mounted display would be the better option. They aren't there yet, but I expect they will be before long. Something like the glastron with higher resolution and some minimal motion tracking.
Computing on a plane would be easier with the options provided by this method. Battery powered macmini, split keyboard, i-glasses or glastron or whatever.
This would be a nice option for PDAs. Not for their typical use, but for portable computing.
Electrons do travel slow. I don't know if its 6 meters per second, but that's the right order of magnitude.
But the signal is still transmitted by the electrons, not some EM pulse. Most designers try to minimize the EM radiation. Think of it like a tube full of marbles. If you shove a marble in one end, one will immediately pop out the other end... it doesn't matter that it would take a long time for that specific marble to travel to the other side.
I'm sure that video is old among slashdotters in general, but I've never seen it before. That's amazing... hard to believe a couple hops like that winded him too.
I don't know. I'm not too excited about using as a chat server host a company that is known specifically for their data warehousing and searching and mining capabilities
Once upon a time you had to have masters to work at intel (as a freshout anyway). Not so anymore. But most of the positions I've seen open want about 5 years or so of experience.
there are tons of chip design companies out there, so if intel is really your goal, gpa aside, it's not unreachable.
but you will probably find that, aside from formality, chip design isn't really any different wherever you go.
It's a stock market thing. Buy a bunch of google stock (if you can afford much), and start a rumor that google is curing cancer. Take your 5% and do it again next week.
"Why are so many obviously comedic posts getting modded insightful instead of funny lately?"
It's because you don't get karma credit for "funny" mods to your post. It's much nicer to give someone an insightful or underrated, etc., than a funny.

How about SHallow and Inaccurate Tripe?
"Why can't scientists use BOTH?"
They can. Just not with federal money.

"If your algorithm is showing weaknesses, then throwing more bits at the problem is best reserved as a temporary solution."
All cryptographic solutions are temporary.

thanks! I looked under my keyboard and found the jumpdrive I had been trying to find for weeks!
Actually it's more like saying "If I keep saving $8,196,721.32 a year, I will be a BILLIONAIRE in just 122 years."

"Every biz major I knew cheated regulary. At very least by studying the old questions first, before studying the entire section being tested."
That's cheating? I suppose it would be if it was forbidden by the prof to look at old tests while studying.

It would be interesting to use the accel to measure the horsepower output of your car.

Awesome! Now we can replace the polar ice caps with polar salt caps!
Well, intellevision was a play on television. I assume coleco's was too.

"Microsoft changes some buttons, messes with menus forcing you to relearn previously simple procedures and charges you big bucks for the privilege."
You should try modelsim sometime.

It almost seems worth it, doesn't it? L
"But still, why does the hole end up over a magnetic pole?" I thought the general theory was centripetal action.
