IMHUnderstanding, there is only one argument against health "reform"->get the government out of business. That being said, the arguments against a government run, and required heath care systems are many: * Bigger government * Costly (when the USA is in debt to a country it doesn't really like but is now forced to) * Propaganda that it would be unfairly subsidized and kill private insurance * Forcing young (lest costly) citizens to pay for the older (more costly citizens) * Yet.Another Wealth redistribution system when we already have an income tax/medic aid/s.s. * Propaganda the the government would be 'between you and your doctor' * If it costs more to give heathcare to unhealthy people, and they can't be turned down for heathcare by law, but it is their fault. Now we have a couple possible scenarious that some don't like -- (1) You are forced to pay into a system that cannot charge more than 2x the minimum rate for someone that has gotten sick by their own choices (fat smoking paint sniffer), (2) the government is going to start regulating snack foods because it costs the heath care system money. -- why should inshape people pay a 'fat tax' on snack food just because somepeople don't understand moderation?
That works until someone actually cares about fractions of a cent (financial market,stock price). Then your 1.055 (1 dollar 5 and a half cents) became 1,055 (one thousand fifty five dollars).
If you are worried about it, I think telling the user is the best way to prevent a mistake. A simple example below the input shows how the number should be input. Then anyone can figure it out. If you want both possibilities, then add the option. If you want to pull it from the locale information, then you can still display below the input:
Example:$ 1,234,567.89 (If your detection thinks they user is European, or they select so) Example:EURO 1.234.567,89
It is my fault for not explaining properly. I'll try again. Either, the target is moving so fast that the frequencies are shifted out of band (not likely), or any shift can be compensated for because range-rate of the device can estimated.
Even so, Realistically none of this matters. Because detector for things like this can be placed orthogonal to the direction of motion so that the doppler effect is non-existent.
Thank your pointing out some of the flaws in my [overly simplistic] model. I do think having the host as the primary seeder in release cases would be a smart thing to do, and then switch over to host only when the 'swarm' drops below a certain threshold.
The point was that even if the up data-rate of the host is 100 X that of the clients, for a sufficiently large user base, torrents is a time efficient and system + the idea that it cost the cost.00X$ per download, and as you are getting it for free, you can help lower that cost by downloading it once, and passing on a copy or two before you stop seeding.
I understand that my model wasn't perfect, but it wasn't horrible. Consider that I also didn't take into account the time delay of having hosts go down because of unanticipated high demand (this happens).
I'm not sure why you were modded redundant this deep, fuck that guy.
But the only reason I know about redshift/blueshift speeds is that (years ago) after reading "a brief history of time" I wanted to calculate how fast a car would have to be moving for the red light to actually be green...and then I was dismayed when I found that no man-made vehicle had ever gone that fast or was even an order of magnitude close to going that fast.
Considering that police radars, use and have always used Doppler shift, for finding out the speed of the target vehicle
What you've said, is not true. Higher frequency radar are used because they have less dispersion. These LASER speed guns do not rely on Doppler shift. Instead the take a series of accurate distances, and solve r=d/t.
HAHAHA, I'm hoping not. The Doppler shift is a function of proportional velocity, that is, it isn't until you are moving at a fraction of the speed of LIGHT are EM waves effected. A conservative estimate puts that at about c/1.003/1000 = 186 miles per second.
So when you have a car that goes that fast [at or away from your receiver/transmitter], your EM frequencies might get noticeably shifted, but on this planet, you'ld also probably be on fire.
..which is some of the shittiest and most expensive pipe on the whole network, cannot be made as efficient as a conventional client/server setup).
Efficient in what sense? Certainly not time in release cases. If host A has a 100MB file and a 10MB/s connection, the most that host can upload that file at is 6/min. At 10,000 users this takes about 28 hours. If the first torrent uploads to 2 people, and those two people to two more...etc it will quickly (4 hours) beat the single host case even if every pipe after the first is 1/100th the speed.
Out of curiosity, how good is your internet connection. Because my experience more closely mirrors @Radical Moderate, but I believe this is because I have 3MB dsl, which the buffering in hulu deals with fine, but netflix doesn't [seem to] deal as well with it.
I don't own an iphone, but I know I signed no such licensing agreement when I bought my xbox360. I'm betting if MS actually bricked xbox360s they'd be in a lot more [legal] trouble.
While I've never tried,
Wouldn't you also be able to do that by just pulling the HDD and attaching it to a PC, editing the file, and putting them back. I thought this was way more about hacking in non-xbox approved hardware and hacked binaries then hacked save files.
Not that I'm a big MS fan, but I'm hoping not (because I'm an even lesser fan of bs lawsuits).
IANAL, but I'm betting they already sought legal advice before making such a decision. As per the estimated cost, that will probably depend on how the judge responds to the dismissal filing that they already have prepared. If the judge doesn't dismiss the case, and it goes to even the beginnings of a trial...then you may be right.
Sadly, I'm betting that there are certain areas that people don't just 'go for a walk'. Then again, I live in a city, and there are certain areas I won't go at night...
...it also disables functionality to install games on the included HDD! Games already installed on that HDD will not be accessible anymore....
(Assuming I'm reading this correctly) This would be a huge deal if it weren't for the fact that you can still play these games on any non-modded Xbox360 by signing in and re-downloading them.
That being said, while I understand banning them from signing into xbox live with that modded xbox, I really don't understand locking out the HDD.
This case is a loser. All it will do is (1) waste a bunch of money on legal expenses, thereby raising the cost of providing XBL, and (2) annoy MS and possibly encourage them to make it even harder to run homebrew.
As this is a class action case, I'm betting that xbox users arn't wasting any money. That is is simply a lawfirm that thought they could make some money or gain some publicity (with the purpose of then making some more money).
I'm not really privy to exact placement as I'm an academic researching engineer and not on the ground, but I do know the motivation behind my funding intimately. I got the impression the these IEDs/mines were being placed next to the roads with triggers built in between settlements so that they would hurt convoys/supplies. Beyond that I'm not really sure what I should discuss on the net (it isn't classified, but I did have to be a US citizen to work on it).

Certainly a more valid point IF client cost models were different. But as it is, I have 'unlimited**' internet. nonetheless, point taken.
The point was that even if the up data-rate of the host is 100 X that of the clients, for a sufficiently large user base, torrents is a time efficient and system + the idea that it cost the cost .00X$ per download, and as you are getting it for free, you can help lower that cost by downloading it once, and passing on a copy or two before you stop seeding.

depends on the age demographic, there are plenty of "poor college kids" sporting 2K$ laptops.

Please excuse my ignorance, by why would a difference of 50 mph matter to an rfid signal?

heh, I just pictured a guy who conscientiously shreds the amount of money he would have paid for that game/music/video.-- "that'll show them!"
