It's not a waste of money if the Feds simply say that any new signs paid for with Federal highway funds must have SI units as their primary measure. They should also require auto manufacturers to mark speedometers with km/h (although most already do).
The SI has officially been""the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce" since 1975, so it's well past time to make that mean something.
No sympathy for innumerates who find it difficult, because it is in fact much simpler.
"Unlimited == Unlimited access to data FOR THE SUBSCRIBER"
FTFY.

Restrictions on Use. The Service is a consumer grade service and is not designed for or intended to be used for any commercial purpose.... For example, you may not... use it for high volume purposes, or engage in similar activities that constitute such use (commercial or non-commercial)....You also may not... use the Service to host any type of server.
I'd say that 300x average constitutes "high volume," and servers are definitely covered.
Now, they likely don't care, and look the other way, if you're running a personal email or Subsonic server for your own use. But providing file sharing, video streaming and VPN services to all your family and friends is abusive.
According to whois, RonPaul.com was registered in 2000 while RonPaul.org was registered in 1999. The current owner of RonPaul.org is DN Capital Inc, a company based in Panama, while RonPaul.com is owned by WKF Corp, another company based in Panama.
Odd, because when I do a whois, ronpaul.com points to a privacy service. If you had read the decision about ronpaul.org, you would have found this to explain the Panama Conspiracy:
By way of background, Respondent explains that the original registration for the Domain Name on July 28,
1999, by Donny McIveron on behalf of Complainant, expired on July 28, 2012. On September 13, 2012, the
Domain Name was purchased by Customer 13725, who resold it to the Respondent DN Capital Inc.
Respondent claims it received the Domain Name on October 30, 2012 and resold it on November 4, 2012 to
JNR Corp. (âoeJNRâ), which is stated to be a group of dedicated activists and independent grassroots
supporters of Complainantâ(TM)s political ideals. When the Complaint was filed in this case, JNR still had one
payment left to make to Respondent to complete its purchase of the Domain Name, so the WhoIs records for
the Domain Name still listed Respondent as owner.
Then you go on...
"RP wanted only the domain name, yet the "owners" of the site wanted to sell him the whole thing for a huge chunk of cash?"
That's inaccurate. They didn't want to sell at all. It was only after Ron Paul's organization approached them that they put a price on the domain.
Yep. Which means the only real solution, and deterrent, is to place personal responsibility upon those who ordered and implemented these activities. Start firing people and taking away their cushy government pensions and benefits, instead of letting them resign into comfy retirement, and you'll start seeing change.
What cable? You're continuing to make the mistake of applying existing paradigms to new technologies. One could have a charger with a slot for the battery (or phone) and appropriate sized contacts.
On mine (HTC Rezound), replacing the battery involves removing the back cover, maybe 15 seconds or so if I'm quick. Then, it takes a couple of minutes to boot up, since it was powered off.
No, you don't. You're making the mistake of applying existing paradigms to new technologies.
You can use a much lower power charger to charge a local supercap (inside the charger) over a longer time, then when you charge the "battery," you simply transfer that energy.
I can picture a charger which itself has a supercap. Charger tops up local supercap over a few hours, then transfers that energy to the cell phone battery over a short period. As far as current, you couldn't do it with reasonable gauge wires, but you could have some sort of large flat contact arrangement where the battery is pressed against the charger, or inserted in a slot. 380A is fusing current for ~6.5 mm^2 copper (about a 9 gauge wire), and you could certainly fit much larger contacts than that on a battery.
Correcting myself: She claims to have increased mass specific capacitance by almost 3. I'm not sure how her volume specific capacitance compares - I'd think that would be more important for cell phone use.
Mass energy density of commercial supercaps is 3-5 Wh/kg, but 85 has been seen in the lab, according to Wikipedia. Her's is 20.1, which may be significant if it can be commercialized.
Yes. The article was terrible. She almost tripled the energy density of supercapacitors. From her paper:
Methods/Materials
To improve supercapacitor energy density, I designed, synthesized, and characterized a novel core-shell
nanorod electrode with hydrogenated TiO2 (H-TiO2) core and polyaniline shell. H-TiO2 acts as the
double layer electrostatic core. Good conductivity of H-TiO2 combined with the high pseudocapacitance
of polyaniline results in significantly higher overall capacitance and energy density while retaining good
power density and cycle life. This new electrode was fabricated into a flexible solid-state device to light
an LED to test it in a practical application.
Results
Structural and electrochemical properties of the new electrode were evaluated. It demonstrated high
capacitance of 203.3 mF/cm2 (238.5 F/g) compared to the next best alternative supercapacitor in previous
research of 80 F/g, due to the design of the core-shell structure. This resulted in excellent energy density
of 20.1 Wh/kg, comparable to batteries, while maintaining a high power density of 20540 W/kg. It also
demonstrated a much higher cycle life compared to batteries, with a low 32.5% capacitance loss over
10,000 cycles at a high scan rate of 200 mV/s.
No one said anything about having one central auth server for everyone. People or enterprises should be able to run their own, alongside competitive offerings. You simply point to the one you want used when you create an account. A password safe requires you to carry it everywhere.
Yea, I realized I was looking at the wrong product.
Will you make any decisions based on the source networks? e.g. even with a single local Inet link to a single ISP, there might be benefit to then splitting out to multiple Connectify servers located in different BGP peers, routing around peering chokepoints and creating transits which might otherwise not be available.
How about a home appliance, sitting in front of the router to the ISP (or on a Linux router)?
I was disappointed to see that Linux support seems to be limited to high end solutions, and that the offerings were for "single user," and not "single family/home."
is not more reliance on passwords, but an infrastructure which replaces all of that.
I don't pretend to be a security expert, but why not ask for a public key instead, so I can authenticate with my private one, as with SSH? Or provide a pointer to some authentication server, so I can have a safely "shared" yet easily changed password for multiple sites? (and I am NOT talking about Facebook)

I'd be interested to know what phone you have, that uses an Intel Ivy Bridge server/desktop/laptop processor.

Fly? They're not really supposed to fly. They're supposed to collect grant money.
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
Lawyers are nerds, too.
"Swapping batteries is the only fast way to transfer that amount of energy quickly without doing it over wires"
You are, quite simply, wrong, at least for the common definition of "wire."
OK, "cost nothing additional." Same point.
Why not just pay attention to the European forecasts, which would cost nothing?
Yep. Which means the only real solution, and deterrent, is to place personal responsibility upon those who ordered and implemented these activities.
