I think that's the worst fucking analogy I've ever seen. You're comparing bringing a dump truck to a buffet to using more than 250GB/mo? That's using approximately 100KB/s for a month. Thats 4% of my total maximum download speed. So, what you're saying is, using less than five percent of my connection for an entire month is equivilent to bringing a dump truck to a buffet?
I've got an analogy for you. That's like using a fucking THIMBLE at a buffet instead of a plate. You're either ignorant or dishonest, take your pick.
Actually I think the idea is to get businesses to reconsider implementing iPads. Why try and make a consumer device work in a business environment when you can just wait for Cisco's tablet?
It's not a consumer device. It says "Business" probably 5 times in the demo video on cisco.com homepage right now. So unless your grandma has telepresence then I wouldn't consider this a consumer device at all.
It's not even close to 5x it's not even 2x. Feel free to checkout newegg.com and compare. In fact there are some cost breakdowns earlier in the comments now.
Yeah but you only overclocked the AMD - that's a silly comparison. Take any similarly priced Intel vs AMD chip, overclock both of them, see who comes out ahead. AMD has some great deals at the low end of the market but they just can't compete at the "enthusiast desktop" end of the spectrum. Compare overclocked 875K vs 1090t and you'll find that the 875k not only wins out in performance but also has a lower overall power consumption.
So if Microsoft builds a great version of WIndows for tablet devices, do you think there's a possibility of the same thing happening that happened in the 90s? Low cost tablets from numerous vendors all supporting Windows against Apple's single product offering?
65GB per month! These scandals are using just over 25 kilobytes a second for an entire month! What could these criminals possibly be doing!!! We must stop this immediately! What do you think this is a 56k modem?????? This is preposterous!!
The idea is to immediately draw your attention to the search box. Once you've noticed that the rest of the elements fade in as not to detract from the central focus. The content doesn't even fade in until you move your mouse (I believe) so they're sure the user has already seen the important section before fading in the rest. There was an article about it at one point.
At least here in Florida a police officer can pace your vehicle to determine if you're speeding and write you a citation based on that. A friend of mine got one several years ago. A cop claimed he heard him peeling out so he wrote him a wreckless driving ticket. He took it to court to dispute it and when he got there the cop lied and said he "pace clocked" him doing 45 in a 35 for 2 miles.
So I guess China should have created protections and worked with international governments a lot sooner? The bottom line is today, now, it's _ILLEGAL_. We have international regulations governing copyrights. Pointing out that the Chinese invented clay pots 4,000 years ago or something is not relevant to the discussion.
So what is the government restriction that only allows one cable provider to deliver Internet service to one area in a city? I've never heard of anything like that. City, count or state legislation?
Where did 100x come from? These are just numbers drawn from thin air. Let's use some real numbers at least. For example verizon spent $23 billion and was offering it to 11 million premises in June 2009 by delivering it to very densely populated metro areas. Now to deliver it to 50x more locations you have to scale that up by a massive amount per-home-passed because as you get to rural areas obviously that number declines rapidly. How fast would be tough to estimate. But even if you scale it linearly you're looking at $1.115 _TRILLION_ dollars or about $3,745.82 for every American in the country. You would obviously need to scale that up by an order of magnitude to reach all the rural areas in the US.
And these numbers are a ridiculously absurd attempt at calculating something like this. I bet these numbers aren't even remotely close. If you could build out a fiber network to touch the entire nation for $60B (600 million * 100) it would have been done many times over.
Well I can assure you a quick google search provides quite a few options for DSL service in Austin. I don't know if you live in an apartment or what other factors might preclude you from being eligible for DSL service, but it's most definitely available around your area. I even checked the AT&T site for residential DSL using Austin NPA-NXX. It's definitely out there.
Well clearly it must be due to the equipment not one of the thousands of other factors that could lead to those outages. Thanks for your anecdotal evidence that has completely convinced me that Huawei makes superior network equipment.
I'd love to hear some examples of Americans caught stealing Chinese secrets. Because I can provide the names of foreign nationals who have been caught stealing industrial secrets from American corporations. Seriously, maybe there are some that I just don't know about and aren't reported here.
I think the big difference is the socioeconomic systems are very different. America will never have state sponsored corporate espionage to benefit American corporations. They just aren't interlinked to the government the same was as corporations are in China.

no, golden eye brought FPS to the fratboy set many moons ago.
I bet you didn't, or have not, read the article summary.
I think you mean a few tens of thousands. Even a mid-sized telepresence setup is $40k/site.

FWIW, you can do 10Gb on copper.

And then people will remember the iPhone was based on blackberry and microsofts windows mobile.

"Taxing the sale of used items is taxing twice, which doesn't seem right."
So a used car dealership shouldn't pay taxes?

There's a difference between cracking down on an existing problem and denying it exists entirely.

That would be fine if the Chinese government didn't pretend to respect and protect Copyright law. But they just deny it's happening all together.
