my AP is entirely open so anyone can connect. It then goes to a router which limits wireless clients access to the LAN and internet, it works well for me.
What you mention as a side note is the reason I won't be switching. Im not terribly happy with my current ISP and I could certainly use the extra bandwidth, but it is no use to me without a static IP.
These accounts would be perfect for many of our customers who run a VPN. I would love to be able to stream music from home without dragging ssh to a screaming halt. Without even the option of a static IP Im not interested.
(Could this be their plan, keep of the really hard core users until they have upgraded their network to handle it, someone else posted that their current network is rather underspec for what they are offering)
Skype can only talk to other skype users. While its great that a company is supporting linux and mac, I think in the long term VoIP in generally would benefit from people using something that is standards compliant (there are plenty of SIP soft phones out there for linux)
Here in Australia the company i work for just bought us all video phones because the call plans were cheaper than other voice only providers.
Until people can drive a normal car properly I think keeping them in two dimensions is a good idea.
sort of, time shifting generally refers to a device capable of simultanious recording and playback.
So you can start recording a 1 hour show, come in 10 minutes after it starts and watch/listen to the beginning while it keeps recording the end
wouldnt the wall paper block signals from the other side of the wall (ie outside)? wouldnt that be the phone tower which is always pumping its signal in regardless of who's phone is turned on? and wouldnt a phone that cant find a tower be likely to send out some sort of probe to try and get a reply? As far as I can tell this wouldnt actually help. a better solution would be shielding the equipment, and the faraday cage has been around for a long time.
Maybe you just answered your own question. Who said there wouldn't be a centralised "DRM Server"?
The only other option is to make the reader damage the disc before copying. X copies of the disc would destroy it, and in X generations the copies would be unusable.
Windows XP does disassociate from the AP every few minutes to scan for other available networks. However turning off the "Use Windows to conf..." as you suggest prevents this from happening.
since you say your using the Netgear utility I assume that you have done exactly that, and hence don't suffer from the drop outs.
Your average home user's UPS doesn't constantly convert AC->12vDC->AC it has a small step down circuit that carges the battery at 13.8v and passes through the mains power, then when power fails, it switches in the inverter.
So I don't really see the benefit of combining it into the case.
As I see it there are 3 answers, I think all have been valid at one point in Asimov's timeline.
In one short story (i forget the title but its a bout a Calvin story about a robot that can read minds) Calvin traps the robot in a position where it can no act without breaking one the first law, it shuts down and "dies".
In the short story "...That thou art mindful of him" USRBAMM start work on a robot for around the home and it has to start taking into account what it considers human (should it take orders from an idiot or a child), and a situation similar to what you describe is considered the result is that taking into account everything would waste too much time and the robot would fail to react so it goes by numbers 5 lives are worth more than 1.
The third possibility as some one else mentioned is that it obeys the 0th law, as explained (created?) by R. Daneel Olivaw (sp?) where presumably the robot can take many of the variables into account and will act so as to "minimise harm to humanity"
I would be happy to have to choose the model, verion and revision of my graphics card every time I update my drivers if they would just stop crashing my machine.

What is this hydrogen cell going to run off, if not pressurized hydrogen?
My 1987 Ford Falcon does exactly that, I would be surprised if new cars didn't do the same

contrary to american belief, the USA doesn't extend to Mercury (or even to most of Earth)
Actually the robots in that story used gamma radiation to see, presumably there isn't much sun light on the jovian "surface"
No, like so many things it will be won by education, when its no longer profitable, why would anyone bother?

wouldnt a device capable of building a single copy of itself be considered to be self replicating at a sub-exponential rate?

maybe the ones you didn't see are the subtle ones. :)

How much is a human life worth? $55? no wait $60!

Of course, fusion is better than fission in this regard, but the same arguments hold in either case.
I dont think it does actually, a quick google turns up this site which states:
The waste product from a deuterium-tritium fusion reactor is ordinary harmless helium.
not so atleast in Australia you can get two way satellite latency is terribly but throughput is supposed to be very good
I'm not 100% sure of this but doesn't decreasing the frequency also decrease the available bandwidth?
yes one "Apple labeled" computer, I assume this computer wasn't apple labeled and so you can do the install on as many of these machines as you like.
