I'd be willing to bet with this technique they can get you your linkup.
Wonderful thing about error correction is that it often works at all levels. They'll just repeat the bit a few hundred times (using the 155Mbit) to achieve a reliable 384kbit.
No, you'll pay your money to private health, road / bridge tolls, insurance, etc. that the government in Canada provides at similar (or lower prices with Health care anyway).
Doesn't matter who you pay, you will pay. If you don't pay someone for something, your salary will decrease to compensate. The wonderful thing about money is that it must be flowing to be worth anything. If it stands still long enough it becomes worthless.
Anyway, tax is just another way to pay for things that you would pay for anyway -- eventually in some fashion. Transport, care, rule and order and insurance (welfare, etc.).
If you don't believe me, take all your money out of the bank, sell your house, car, etc. and hold onto it for a decade.
I've often wondered, would you rather make 100k and pay 50% tax or 50k and pay no tax?
Do correct me if I'm wrong as this is my personal view at this point.
No, any fibre laying thats not used immediatly (next 5 years) is as useless as laying down new copper now.
Old fibre isn't much good as advancements in fibre creation significantly up the bandwidth it can carry in a very short time period. One of the reasons (to me anyway) that fibre isn't being taken up by the private industry is that if you cannot recoup costs and make a good profit within a decade there isn't a point as the system will be very out of date.
Yes, Old fibre laying on ocean floors and the like have amps which aren't frequency dependent (they'll amplify anything) so when upgrades come at the end points the entire line can be boosted but the difference between tomorrows development and what is used today is like the difference between single and multimode fibre in general.
That said, any noise reduction technology we come up with for copper can probably also be used on fibre (processing of data) to help with error correction to boost rates. So this development could be quite handy to help sustain long distance terabyte link through more co-operative cables.
Parallel to the equator may make for one hell of a fast train, but it's not going to get you into space very quickly:)
Oh, and the big problem with these lifts, is what happens if they come crashing into the earth? (cut the coupling near [a mile away from] the GEO point) and watch it wrap around the earth a few times.
Yes, I know you could cut the point at the bottom and pretty much keep it in place; but that doesn't make for much of a story.
I see, so you prefer to argue accuracy over precision?
I can see your point, but it was never assummed that the values of x.xx and y.yy were measurements or approximations due to measuring.
Taken as exact values (as implied by not stating the source or other information), x.xx by y.yy will result in zz.zzzz.
Banner ads DO WORK (when targetted). Clickthroughs of 10% on a targetted advertisement is achievable.
The primary problem with banner ads is that they're not targetted. If they were, I'd never see an ad for linux because there's no way I'd ever consider following it. This makes ads on slashdot non-targetted.
Targetted ads will often be placed on stores as a 'Heres something else that goes with what you just bought'. At one point Amazon was doing that one quite well -- to much success. Then they slacked off and suggested items don't make any sense:)

Antique shopping for the garage sale hoppers. Only problem is it looks like you have money so the sellers may demand more money.
Hmm... How about someone who does alot of coaching of school teams? Voluntarily? Could be used to drag around lots of equipment. I know lots of mid sized caterers that have gotten rid of the cube vans in favour of SUVs. So now they take 2 SUVs to a party rather than a Cube van and 2 cars (need something to deal with those last minute items generally). Is it better or worse -- truck doesn't help them here but I'm sure it does someone in some way.
BTW.. My parents got a truck for the sake of dragging around garden related items (plants, dirt, etc.)
Last but not least, know of anyone who does any windsurfing? I bet they'd love something like that.
Hmm... It's nice that you feel safer in an SUV than other vehicals -- and I'm certainly glad you didn't get a Van for that purpose (read the reports) but beware SUVs that roll really really easily.
In a car crash cars crunch (they're designed to do so) to prevent you as the driver / passenger from receiving the additional stress but they don't roll.
SUVs (and old cars with heavy steel frames) don't crunch which causes more stress to the driver / passengers due to a faster stop. But, most SUVs are top heavy and roll. So, you've not exactly alleviated one problem but have created another.
Then again, you may be one of the smarter SUV drivers who knows what they can carry and doesn't overload them. If I remember correctly, most of the Sub 30k SUVs couldn't carry 4 adults with 4 suitcases safely even though it easily fit inside. Discovery channel documentary a few years ago, things may have changed since.
Wholly crap, you drive a car?
Ride a bike, walk, take electric based public transit -- yes, I trust nuclear energy more than fossil fuel.
I can't believe you would be such a dick to my air and drive a car. From the rest of your post it looked like you were defending the environment.
Not that I care about what I'm around, but I also don't pretend I do. Don't be a hypocrite.
BTW.. With the alloys good bikes are made out of, the refined rubber (among other things) in shoes, and where most electricity comes from it really doesn't matter.
heh.. Your obviously not using IE on Solaris. I can vouch for Solaris as stable -- when on Sun hardware but I can't say much for that version of IE.
Say, how does IE run on Mac OSX? Hmm.. So IE only works on windows. Whelp, good luck with that then as I rather like my unix boxes.
407 has a pile of cops on bridges already -- and it's not really the place of the highway authorities to give speeding tickets.
Besides, the whole point of that highway is that it's 3 lanes wide of nice flat concrete, banked corners and damn near empty at 3am -- and a whole pile of fun...
If you allow web access, seti will run. Even through proxied web connections.... You would have to block the seti servers specifically and any anonymizer services.
Liquid CO2 is possible to produce -- but not with standard pressure. Gotta do some oddball low pressure at a similar temperature as solid CO2.
That said, I have no idea if Mars has such an environment or not.
Don't forget about the skill testing question which never follows order of operations.
40 + 10 / 2 = 25 or 45?
Answer depends on whether your answering a contest question or not.
If you sample at 22khz, you're not going to find any frequency over 11khz. Can't be recorded as the higher frequencies (like 12khz) will fold down to the lower range (10khz).
This is a fundamental mathematical issue and applies equally to analog, digital and probably quantom (or other) signals which we've yet to master.
IBM's not exactly a monopoly -- atleast not since the trail. They're rarely #1 at something but they're almost always second or a close third in nearly everything to do with computers.
DB2, Lotus, their hardware (harddrives, processors, etc.) are all good and sometimes they'll lead for a short while. I guess their trick is to develop the technology then license it off to competing companies. Without IBMs tech some companies couldn't keep up (wheres Quantom now?).
Hence I don't consider them a monopoly in any field -- but they're a strong player in nearly all of them.
Not to mention designed a processor -- let alone a processor using new techniques. Or a high speed bus (damn transmission line effects on those high frequency things), not anything else.
I'd be willing to say this person has not a clue. I'm no wiz, but atleast I've done a good chunk of electronics work and programming to know just testing a new processor design takes 6 months to a year to work the bugs out and thats without any significant overhauls.
Curious, consoles don't usually go in tiny increments as it takes a few years to convince companies to write good games for it. Good being high quality. The reason it takes them so long is that learning the ins and outs of a new platform is tricky.
That said, considering all they have is a high level idea of what they want to develop 4 years could be considered quite short.
When was N64 released? What was the gap from PS1 to PS2? How long did it take to get Mozilla from the start to finish? Why was Win95 three years late (Sorry, no proof of this -- just speculation).
Sonys been good at releasing things on time (within 6 months can almost be considered on time) even if they do create artificial shortages to make it seem popular. I'm sure they know what they're getting into.
BTW. The Itanium took how long to design and release? P4? How about the Athlon?
Big projects are generally long term projects. Its people who bitch that cause poor results for the companies willing to sacrifice the long term cash haul on a good product for a short lived "we're going bankrupt and your unsupported because the owners ran with the money" type products.
This has nothing to do with digital or analog. Both are very easily trackable based on the reflection from impedance mismatch (theres always some).
Not only can they tell what channel your watching, but also how many TV's you have, approximately where they are in your home (distance from jack in wall, and distance jack is from the one in the basement) as well as whether you have good or poor reception:).
Those are quite easy to do for a college electronics graduate. Digital cable actually makes it *slightly* more difficult in that additional electronics are required on your end rather than just theirs.
Now, the neat part is you can actually see if they're looking for your reflections based on their reflections of your reflections. I've always wanted to be in mid channel change when they take a look but haven't put together the 'black box'.
Not now that you just announced publically that you do:) Theres your warrent to use the imaging devices and potentially enter your home.
That said, the rack of computers in my closet is safe:)
Copper interconnects, and SOI came from IBM if I'm not mistaken. Just seems they've been doing a substantial amout of research in this area (if the above is true), and this seemed like a very obvious issue -- even if the solution wasn't.

Sounds good. Avoid the speeding ticket and hit someone due to wreckless driving habits. I hope you check whose following you before you do that.
