That's only 100dpi. His complaint is specifically that we're still stuck at around 90dpi or less. 100dpi is still in that ballpark. When you get a 150dpi, 200dpi, or better monitor, let us know.
This won't improve boot times at all. If the sectors used during bootup are on the SSD, boot times can be reduced. If you try to do this with a tmpfs, all you do is extend the boot time by copying that info from the slow HD into the tmpfs before trying to boot.
A real ramdisk/ramdrive (a batter backed device attached via SATA or SCSI and filled with RAM) would do this, but really not any better than putting/boot,/bin,/usr, etc on an SSD.
An automated solution, like the author wants, would speed up files all over the system and not just user defined partitions. This could be done using either SSD or battery-backed RAM disks.
3-5 hours? Simpsons airs at 7pm CST on Sundays but doesn't show up until after sometime at 5am CST Monday morning. That's 10 hours.
House shows up on Hulu somewhere 7-8 days after it aired. Doll House was the same way before it was canceled. I don't think any of the NBC or ABC content is delayed more than 12 hours, though. Some Fox content and, apparently, anime, though, makes you wait.
I consume more TV than movies, and Netflix only has TV that's already been released to DVD. My interests are current shows.
Truthfully, $18.99/mo for Hulu+Netflix wouldn't be bad. And with a cheap PC and Huludesktop, you can have it on your TV. With a remote. Better if it were on the game consoles and roku, but certainly not bad.
In the UK, iPlayer also competes with iTunes where shows like Lost, V, Simpsons, and 30 Rock are sold. I'm not sure how much revenue Apple generates from these shows in the UK market, but that they even have them available suggests that at least some people are paying to watch specific shows.
If Hulu were available in the UK for $10/mo it could certainly be a better value for many users than iTunes, even if they left the collective 2 minutes of advertising in the typical 20 minute show. This is especially true if the $10 granted access to the full back library rather than the current last 5 episodes. You might not care about having access to all of the Simpsons, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, etc but I'm sure a sizable number would.
So you don't mind short advertisements in many of your Simpsons and 30 Rock episodes, but aren't interested in watching an entire episode of the Sopranos or Dexter?
I'm not really sure I'd say "they're delivering content to you". They're merely offering to proxy, and proxies need to send the same amount of data in as they send out, hence the upload requirements. Also, nobody wants your upstream unless you're offering to proxy.
I edited the menu on MythTV to provide Hulu Desktop as an option and launch it. I then setup the remote in the.huludesktop configuration file. Works on Windows and Mac, too, if that's your fancy.
The streets are mostly fiber, even in the 13k town in Northern Minnesota where I grew up. The copper only runs from your local Central Office to your home. This could be a few miles or it could be right in your neighborhood. Cable companies have largely done this, too. Fiber to a distribution point, and then a coax line feeding each neighborhood. The only difference with the cable companies is that you share that piece of coax with your neighbors, whereas the copper bundle with 4-8 pairs (of which your using one) between your home and the CO only runs to your home.
Since they already have the 2 pairs needed running from the CO to your home, they won't have to run any more copper. They might need to run a single line into your house if your home only has 1 pair of phone wires, but that's cheap and they'll over charge for it.
He might live in America. Here anything after the point of entry into the building is owned by the home owner. The telephone company owns the lines in your yard and the box on the side of your house, but beyond that it's the home owner's responsibility. The boxes generally even have an unlocked side where the home owner can attach their own lines
Do me a favor and take off your wall plate. You'll probably find a cord with Red, Yellow, Green, and Black wires. That's 4. For 2 phone lines.
It's cheaper to run 1 cable with 4 wires now, and then attach the unused wires later than it is to run 1 cable with 2 wires and then rip out walls later. Likewise, it's cheaper to bury one cable with 6 or 8 wires between your house and your neighborhood CO than it is to run 1 cable with 2 wires and then dig up the ground when you decide you want a 2nd phone line for a month and a half.
Most homes have been wired for 2 lines for decades. The wall plates might only support 1 line, but the house wiring generally supports 2. And the cables running to the home frequently support 4 or more lines, even if only 1 is hooked up.
So, I don't really see 3 as being an issue. They certainly won't be tearing up anyones yards to implement this.

Has this one ever been proposed in legislation? I've heard this one two, but only from ISPs complaining about the limits it would cause or random people not in the industry.
The only one I've seen talked about by representatives in support of Net Neutrality is the parent's.
The FCC has the power to regulate the companies that are supplying last mile to consumers. I understand what you're saying as a general view, and it would seem the court agrees with that view, but there is sense to the FCCs position. They regulate the cable companies. They regulate the phone companies. The phone and cable companies supply internet to users.
And the policy in question is "Net Neutrality"... so I fail to see how you offer a more accurate summary. All you've done is add an unnecessary level of abstraction.
That's true; the Kindle doesn't allow multitasking. But then, we're comparing it to the iPad, so is this even worth mentioning? iPad can't multitask, either.
Ahh... so it wasn't supposed to be like that. That makes more sense.
Yeah, it looks like '77 was the last of the fourth generation Cutlass and the Delta 88 went into 9th generation in '77, so maybe those "new generation" cars lost the foot switch.

Lots of Grandmas learned how to type on a typewriter and are relatively fast. It's mice that cause problems, in my experience.

Content available vs content desired is part of context, and context is a major part of "User Experience".

I think most of that would fall under the blanket of "User Experience".

MLB has an internet subscription service. NFL might, too. I'm not sure on the costs, but you might be able to dump your cable and keep your sports.
Huludesktop uses a remote. Have you tried that?
I edited the menu on MythTV to provide Hulu Desktop as an option and launch it. I then setup the remote in the .huludesktop configuration file. Works on Windows and Mac, too, if that's your fancy.
Well sure, but what's that have to do with what I said?

Wires are cheap. Installing them is expensive.
