They need a transformer or some electronics to convert the voltage. That's where they will build in the flaws to keep you buying. It's already affecting the fluorescents in my place. They're not lasting very long.
You are perfectly welcome to be as selfish as you like, but that won't stop me from disparaging you for it. If liability is your issue, then you would have a valid point.
Then lock it down if you wish. You clearly didn't understand the question I posted. You reasoning is specious at best. By your logic, you would consider it to be stealing to read a book by the light of your porch lamp that you might leave on or that each generation should suffer the same pains as the previous did just because. Well, fine, if you don't want me using your wireless, keep your damn RF off my property. Put up a Faraday cage around your house, and turn off that light! Free is evil.
What? Are you paying by the bit for your internet? Does it cost you more if somebody else hooks up to your wireless? That was a horrible analogy. A somewhat better one might be someone walking into my house and storing their soda in my fridge. I might not notice until I need the space.
They need to prevent, or at least slow down the concept of community wireless mesh. So if they can scare people out of connecting to convenient access point, mission accomplished. It's the reasoning behind the attacks on P2P. And aren't there some who want to criminalize leaving your wireless open for others to use and hold you liable for possibly "illegal activity? It is necessary to dumb down the internet into TV as quickly and completely as possible... before desktop manufacturing of electronics becomes a reality and takes the hardware companies, who work with the authorities to censor and track people and impose their DRM and clipper chips, out of the control loop.
Yes, because efficient government services have done such a great job at eliminating drugs...
Guess you didn't see the conditional I put in there. That's ok. I suppose if you hate the government so much, you could possibly vote it out of existence, if all of you were so inclined. In the meantime, I would hope you might try a little harder to see the contrast between effective social programs(of which there are many) and fascist authoritarianism(of which there is much).
That's kind of what I'm saying. I know technology exists to get around this without a lot of fuss. It is our failure to use the technology effectively. And we shouldn't allow the privateers so much control over it. We are letting our governments protect their monopolies. This is the modern day piracy that we are living with.
Never said anything here about conspiracies or rights. This is merely the result of the proverbial "too many eggs in one basket". or conversely, "too many chefs..." It's why we need good, efficient government services to prevent these companies from taking down the whole thing. We could have that if we simply demanded it. And these piddly arguments would pass unnoticed outside of the belligerents' offices. If the service is critical enough, then the government should step in and tell them to turn the switch back on. Just like when it orders strikers against an airline back to work, but never orders the company to pay the workers what they demand, or when it bails out the bank to prevent economic disaster, but never zeros out a person's mortgage. Funny thing that, the merchants' interests always take precedence over all else, and we're stuck with the lousy service and high prices.
It seems that according to the summary and the article, that there aren't plenty of providers to take up the slack. We're guessing it's because Cogent eventually slammed the door shut on these alternate paths to their network from Telia, since none of Cogent's customers accessed Telia via alternate routes during this time. We shouldn't permit this to happen.
Quite a house of cards our fragile infrastructure has become. Somebody says "bomb" in San Francisco, and your flight from Mobile to Nashville will be grounded. A disagreement over the price causes droughts and blackouts in California. And our super robust internet can cut off whole countries with the snip of a cable or a flip of a switch. That's no way to run a circus, I say.
This message was brought to you by... BIGCO...where the nose meets the grindstone.
Of course you have a right to your opinion. However a bit of consistency does one's credibility good. The bailouts do nothing but maintain the economy's dependence on a small group of people, which creates a cascade of disaster for everybody every time one of these companies fart. So it's helping nobody accept that top 0.001%. Your widget sales shouldn't depend on the well being of the stock market. It's exactly the same kind of centralization that you complain about with the government, but is now being concentrated on Wall Street. If you think trickle down is any more secure than the government's programs, you have a hell of a surprise coming. I prefer to cut out the middleman. If the government wants to hand out money, they can give to us directly instead of using it to keep their buddies in the pink, and leaving only crumbs on the floor for the rest. I'll take social security over corporate welfare any day of the week. Either way the government is still bailing us out of private maleficence, while most remain fixated on the latest sex scandal. And if you think the government is taking too much of your money, then your prices are set too low, and you're taking the wrong perspective on the matter. Simply do the math, and demand what you think your time is worth after all the bills, including your taxes, are paid.
If I remember correctly, "effective radiated power" takes the antenna into account. Don't know if that's how they measure wifi, or if they just read power from the device's output connector.
Let's hope they use some of it to put a decent muffler on the thing. Kinda looks like Santa's Little Helper and Snowball in the Treehouse of Horror VIII... the back halfs
Only to start up their soon to fail and already failing international and domestic finance Ponzi schemes. Which will end up costing far more than anything except the war. They only dropped their health care and other social programs to reduce trade tariffs being used against them. Many western social programs worked pretty well until they came under attack by the merchant class who sought to impose those tariffs.
Looks like the Faux News mouth-breathers are out in force today.
Well, pudge is one of the Fauxiest. It is election season and protecting the homeland will become more difficult if they can't win hearts and minds. Gotta tame this internet thing if they want to keep control of what we see and hear. What we have here is a clear misuse of the moderation system.
No they don't. We all do. You're full of it if you think they pay for anything. And the way they throw money around in their tight little circle, it just pushes prices up for everybody else. And just in case you didn't notice, I was talking about their latest and ongoing bail outs, not about their doctors bills, which you can be sure are also covered. The saying has changed. The biggest welfare queens wear Armani. So let's ask our latest "big man of campus" if he would continue bailing out the Forbes top 500. And anybody who thinks he should has no room to complain about universal health care or any other social program.
There's some more fodder for you idiot troll mods from the pudge FOX network. You've revealed yourselves quite clearly.

...this is a good example of why we should secure out networks.
Yeah, From the FBI, considering how many false accusations can and probably will arise from this.
Let's see...
1) FBI installs root kit
2) Remotely links machine to porn
3) "Profit"!
Don't put it past 'em!
Maybe so, but does it net them any more profit?
...an underwater ocean.
I think we got some of those right here on earth.
Lets hope they return with somthing else.
A boat?
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship...
For the companies selling the scheme. Just like electronic voting machines, DRM... For everybody else... eh

What difference should it make what their billing arangements are? You aren't paying to use that connection.

If you think it's beta, but it'snot, it's MS...
Now if only some US companies would learn that...
What is there to motivate them? All they have to do is tank the economy and the government bailouts flow freely... and then, it's off to Granada.
You're still confusing the metaphor I was using.

Wall street pays for it themselve.
