Can i have my bank bailout money, my GM money and 1/2 of the senates salary back so that I could build a working mass transit system please then? I mean with the way lobbying works, I'm surprised that they even need a salary.
ohh right and 200k is such a small amount of money. I could have lived for my last ~3 years, if not more, on 200k. I would love to be making 200k a year, I could probably pay my student loan off in 3 months that way...
Depends, I'd love to hand minnesota ~$300 extra this year if it would help fix the damn roads, or build a train, or make the buses work(by work, i mean have enough routes to enough useful places at enough times and not turn a 30 minute drive into a 1 hour 45 min ride.)
because intel's cards don't do CUDA. And the 5450 is rather slow if you want to push a game to 3 monitors. Does the Intel card do 3 monitors? how about 6? how about decent h264 decoding in mainline mplayer? VLC? xine?
Sure if you are the type to run only one app at a time.
my list: 1)emerge 2)ffmpeg 3)Wow.exe 4)Chome while on carrerbuilder.com(something is dumb there and loops using 10% cpu). ffmpeg can use 2-4 cores, emerge can as well, wow uses 2, and chrome could use a bunch as well. hmm just about everything i run is threaded 6-12 cores sure sounds nice.
what copyright? the picture on my wall it can see? if it spits out data it spits out data. What I do with the data MY device generates is my own damn business, and I would think my first amendment right lets me talk about it.
not if adafruit has their way, Lots of these will end up in robots and such. even better if i can get a few below cost. Microsoft has already said that they are "against anyone tampering with their products" Ohh well I sure hope they know better than to sell at a loss...
commercial vs non commercial scale infringement. If you sell it, then yes, revenue + fine is appropriate, download it for your own personal use, the fine should be the cost of the actual media, ~$15 or so for a song from a CD, or the whole album. Even 2-3 times the retail cost of it would be fine.
Samsung infinging on Busybox's copyright by selling it in their TVs, is comercial scale. I'm having problems comming up with a way to infinge on a GPL licensed work for personal use.
As for being filtered out, some of us read slashdot at -1 so we see everything. Posted as a logged in user would help as well.
"net neutrality" isn't about keeping the current payment structure, it's about making sure you don't need to pay extra to get to some sites. make the ISPs be site neutral. no charging extra per byte for data from hulu over netflix, or google over bing, or... well you get the idea. I would be fine with metered billing, but I would demand that there be someway to prevent things like blaster or zeus running on internet computers from sending me piles of data as even if my firewall drops it, it still would cost me.
If they can sort that issue out and provide me with a way to view my usage(like a electric or water meter) I'm all for the metered bandwidth. Oh, no putting in Tiered or time based billing though, doing so would have the same effect as throttling. Want to watch a tv show from netflix during prime time? data during that time is at 400% the 2am rate....
it is somewhat true, if by uphill you mean requires city approval, and by landmines you mean NIMBY's, and by paramilitary orgs you mean local monopolies.
Really there are some cost issues that need to be worked out in the last mile. Simply low population density doesn't ever pay for the rollout for a local company. Also most of the dark fiber they laid wasn't in the last mile, but the backbone.
I never said where the lines would come from, and we(the tax payers) have already paid for a good chunk of those lines via the government money paid to the telcos to install them in the first place.
Wait. You actually believe that voters voted on substantive issues?
if by substantive you mean, repealing the health care bill, reinstating tax brakes from former presidents, and making sure the gays can't get a civil union (so they can make health care decisions for their partners, and be protected by the 5th amendment on the whole couples thing), then yes.
personally I'd like all the money from GM, and the banks, and the rest of the handouts back, and I'd like to build, by employing local citizens and residents, a national high speed rail system. In times of economic hardship there are fewer better ways to spend money than infrastructure. See the "Works Progress Administration", and the "Civil Works Administration".
It's not about forcing anyone to do anything, it's about forcing corps(which aren't a person) to do nothing based on some rules.
Want to see slashdot*, google, youtube, hulu, farmville, and facebook, those are available on the super ++good platinum package that is an extra $300 a month and requires a special "router" that will require you to lease it at $45 a month, and to use that router you will need the professional internet package, only $70/month but you can watch all the "ondemand" you want from ondemand.comcast.net for the low price of $30 a month with a free modem. XBox live and PSN are only $100 a month if you want those services.

Don't think it will happen? I'm sure it will if we let them.
no one(well almost no one) is discussing having a govt ISP. just having the govt own the wires, like they do the roads, and letting anyone provide services(cars) for them. Anyone that wants to use the wires(roads) can as long as the services(cars) meet certain requirements(safety belts, and a license plate, and tires with tread).

CUDA or GPGPU stuff needs more bandwidth. As for the atom, it makes a decent media center when used with a gt240, or even a gt220.
because intel's cards don't do CUDA. And the 5450 is rather slow if you want to push a game to 3 monitors. Does the Intel card do 3 monitors? how about 6? how about decent h264 decoding in mainline mplayer? VLC? xine?

like by not including support for PCI-E?
what copyright? the picture on my wall it can see? if it spits out data it spits out data. What I do with the data MY device generates is my own damn business, and I would think my first amendment right lets me talk about it.
around here it also requires a traffic light. As i've seen bars with nothing within miles of them.
not if adafruit has their way, Lots of these will end up in robots and such. even better if i can get a few below cost. Microsoft has already said that they are "against anyone tampering with their products" Ohh well I sure hope they know better than to sell at a loss...

no, it's ok for personal use, it is not ok for commercial use... no double standard.

I think they should own the wires, and lease them at cost plus tax, at publicly disclosed rates adjusted yearly or 2x a year, to whom ever wants them.
I never said where the lines would come from, and we(the tax payers) have already paid for a good chunk of those lines via the government money paid to the telcos to install them in the first place.
then they need to be hit for false advertising, as where I come from "unlimited" means "without limits", which yes means, saturated pipe 24/7/365.

And with that competition i would have 10 different trenches in my yard with 7 different "standards" none of which work together.
Fine, let them shape and block, and let them loose their common carrier status. One without the other is not OK, which is what they are wanting to do.
no govt provider, just govt lines, that they lease at a small amount above cost(tax) to anyone that wants it, at publicly announced rates.
3. Which areas they are going to serve.
to build out a network that they were supposed to maintain and let anyone use, or provide services on.
