It is too much of a work to do it on resolution. This means they have to read all the files being pulled by all video streaming user (and that won't work on SSL) and then shape them. That is a ton of equipment needed for little to no benefit. Just limit the bandwidth and let the client side select a steam that it can play without shuttering and pauses. A lot less equipment, and force the guys over.
The switch on the SD card is the same as the ta on the cassette tape or the 5.25" floppy. It is useless because it is the host that decides whether to write or not. There was flash drives in the past where the switch cut the erasing power to the controller, but those a long gone (gave them away as presents and what not)
From the past 18 years the only media that I can still read besides pressed originals is Verbatim (Super AZO and Metal AZO) burned at the lowest possible speed. All other media brands has failed spectacularly.
However back in 2009 my policy for backups changed. I switched all my computers to 2.5" laptop drives, the drives are ran 400 to 500 days non-stop (24/7), then they are cloned on new drives and the old ones are placed inside a storage cabinet. All of them still work just fine.
for a crematorium? Last time I checked burring citizens was done either as an occupation of a foreign country ( e.g. Vietnam), as oppression against internal population (Auschwitz), or as an alternative to wasting a lot of land for cemeteries.
I don't think it is the karma bonus. For example when I posted this, it showed that my original post was +5. But when viewed from my profile of from another device it was +4. I consistently see my posts at point higher in a thread than what I see them in my profile or on another device
If memory serves right, 17000 m/s is not even twice the earth's escape velocity (IIRC 11km/s). That doesn't even seem to be enough to escape the Sun (IIRC about 40km/s needed to leave the solar system). I think you forgot the k in that, so that would make it 17000 km/s, with the speed of light being 300000 km/s - so somewhere in the vicinity of 5% speed of light is proven achievable.
We only need cameras, and powerful antennas for a probe, and enough fuel and heat source, to be able to arrive on the other side while the electronics are still working and can snap pictures and send them back. It would seem that at 17000 km/s a probe will make the trip between the solar/star systems in a little under 100 years. Add to that about 37 years for acceleration in the solar system (it can surely be shortened with gravity boosts) and about the same time to decelerate on the other side (I guess it would be too old of a craft to even attempt aero breaking or gravity slow down) and the time for it to radio the pictures and other measurements and we have a very feasible under 200 years if we launch tomorrow.
I'm not sure we have a transmitter though that we can blast over the distance and still be captured, so we can add a few more years to that.
Excuse me, but you sound a bit delusional and self contradicting. That's how it comes across, though it is probably not what you mean
Prices are going up. They have been going up. Computers and small electronic gadgets are the only ones where they may have gone down for a while and they are again going up. For what is the standard of the day.
Cars are definitely more expensive for the same quality percentile level averaged over all brands. Same as food, same as clothes. Not to mention mortgages.
The prices will continue to go up, at a rate higher than the salaries because of greed. Look at the "prosperous" San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Denver, etc.. In 4 years the cost of living in these places has gone up anywhere between 50% and 120%. Salaries on average have gone up between 5% and 25%. How is that growth? How is that speeding up? It isn't - it is slowing down. You are thinking like a stock speculant that only sees 3 months ahead. Poor people and lower middle class are becoming increasingly poorer planetwide. The problem is the ownership of the means of production. The people in the board rooms don't care if anyone and even everyone ends in the gutter, as long as they got their money - their profit. What you pipe dream of only work if the robots and automation work at no profit, and this will never happen, as long as they are owned by someone in particular. You have to detach the human society from ownership to get to where you are aiming.
Technical progress is just that - progress, but on average it is not growth, it is sustainability. Moving the baseline from 5 to 10, when everyone can now jump 10, just increases the baseline, old stuff gets deprecated, but that isn't growth. You just ensure some minimal level. What you describe definitely isn't luxury, as luxury is something way on top of the baseline. What you describe is moving the baseline. It is the luxury of the past, whish is the median of today. But it is still a median.
While it is true that in 198X a cell phone was several K, my first cell phone in 2000 cost $198 and I could run it on 2 AA batteries in a pinch. My latest cell phone from late 2014 cost over $700, and I need to hug a wall. Prices are now going up. It was a saddle and the lowest part was around 2004. Now they are back up. The phone calls used to cost me $0.30 per call (that's right - per call, not per minute).
I don't use rich people luxuries of today. My vacuum, my computer, my cell phone, my car, my microwave - they were rich people luxuries of the past. But they are baseline or below baseline today. Who cares that my cell phone is comparable to a multimillion dollar computer - that is technical progress. It is the average of the day. That isn't growth, it is a slow pace refined improvement, which again, isn't growth. Moving from a phaeton to a horseless carriage was not even growth in the long term, it just became a baseline, progress, but not growth, not inflation pumped BS.
I do believe that if no one owned the robots and automation we could order them to build and produce whatever we want. I can order them to build a house and a bed and a breakfast table, and server me such and such breakfast at the time I wake up. Then I can leave and go about my day, and have lunch waiting for me at some place where I am going to be at lunch time, and have flowers handed to me before I get home to give to my wife. When you are constantly moving the goalpost, this is progress but not growth. You are just contradicting yourself with the terms you are using.
Growth is not something to be chased after. Stability is, for every person. So "growth" should only be limited and equal to the population delta over time. But not it isn't.
We only have growth because people are greedy and self gratifying, but the current growth is just inflation, there is nothing real behind it. What you express with all those words, is a badly hidden greed. I don't see anything else behind them.
There will be no reason to have growth if all the people don't need to work but have 100% of their needs (and wants) provided for by robots and automation. And because you mention initial ramp up of distribution is a problem, reducing the world's population is mandatory.
It is also mandatory for a reason that we now are over consuming natural resources about twice as fast as the planet can recover them. With reduced population, even if everyone goes on a self gratifying binge, and orders the robots to produce a ton of stuff for them, the consumption will still be within reasonable limits.
the only time I would be inclined to use something that is distributed in this manner is if I was running Gentoo and can emerge servo, or *BSD/OSX and can ports install servo.
My my my.. so much bigotry and self importance here.
If you really cared about efficiency and optimization you would support full automation and immediate reduction of the world population to the size of 20M to 200M with mandatory sterilization of the remaining 98%. Children should be planned and produced as any other goods in vitro and all the robots and automation will do menial work and people will have all their needs provided for. All the people would do is research of new technology, which the automation can't do yet.
With health "insurance" instead of health care, and with mortgages where you sing you unborn kid, yes, this is a failure. Disruptions to the 1000 employee lives are the social failure. Paying yourself @250k when you are paying your employees $180k is border line ok, but when you are paying your employees $60k then it is stealing. $400 per employee for 1000 employees increases the living standard of two city blocks. This decreases crime, lowers the need of the entire city paying taxes, etc..
What news would that be exactly - "Computers are insecure, networked computers even more so!"- these ones? That isn't news worthy. There was a 4 season edutainment TV show some years ago called Battlestar Galactica.
If you aren't operating under the above presumption, you are doing it wrong, dead wrong.
Let's see - small personal size helicopter.. sounds a lot like http://www.auto-gyro.com/en/ doesn't it? Only with a remove pilot, which.. I dunno, I will enjoy flying myself.
Voicemail is dictatorship. You are given an order and you have to execute without a chance to respond back. Voice is the superior medium - average read and write speed of 80 to 130 wpm (words per minute). Reading is comparable with speeds on about 130 wpm, but the problem is writing isn't - most people type at 30wpm. So a 2 way chat is significantly worse than a phone conversation in terms of useful information bandwidth.
That is why Slack and IRC are useless, but managers like them, because the manger is offline while all the minions are required to stay online and alert, the manager comes on for 30 seconds, posts a blurb of diarrhea, and goes offline again. The minions have to read and execute without a chance to voice objections and discuss (real or not).
Yes, she is a wannabe dictator, but cheap so she doesn't have messengers to run around in pig skin sandals over 40KM to just relay her orders to her minions.
You are confusing autopilot with fly-by-wire control. With autopilot you enter the entire flight plan, and you have the computer land the plan in ILS. Don't assume lack of stuurwiel, wheel or control column is autopilot. Airbus doesn't have a control column, yet the pilot can fly manually by turning knobs.
With autopilot you just program it, and let it run the program, and you don't touch it, unless your pants are going to suddenly go brown.
I'm not sure about that. Americans redefine English in ways they see fit, but are not what English means. In every Slavic language autopilot means automatic&autonomous pilot, which means self-driving. If it is not self-driving (automatic) but it provides some assistance, it is assisted driving/piloting, but not automatic piloting (autopilot).
You can also check what autopilot means even in English - a device for automatically steering ships, aircraft, and spacecraft.
Stop saying autopilot isn't autopilot, when you have arbitrary substituted the meaning of autopilot with driver assist.

Transcend did back in early 2000s. Now no one does.
Doing more with less was a Communist slogan. And the main reason communism failed. At one time there was nothing left to do something from.

I also see a +1 score added to each of mine comments when viewing the threads as apposed to what I see when I go in my profile.
