Depends on the book, I have books inherited from my grandmother's collection and such that are 100 years old and more (including some reasonably early versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales for ex.). What ebook format do you know that can be guaranteed easily readable in 100 years?
You could turn *off* the verizon's router's wifi...
That said, what you really need to do is what I have at home. We had them run cat5 as well as coax from the ONT. The verizon router still needs to be on and connected to the coax (the cable boxes route through it for channel listings) but our network is completely separate from that. The wireless on the verizon router is switched off
ie the network looks like
Ethernet: ONT--ethernet-->switch-->my router and verizons
Coax: ONT---coax-->splitter--->cable boxes and verizon router
With no linux on the slim, I think it is a pretty safe assumption that Sony has not been planning on allowing linux on the PS4.
Cant say i agree with you there, the larger PS2 had a linux distro (which came with a keyboard and hard drive as a kit) - it was unavailable for the ps2 slim. They did something similar with the ps3, no reason to believe they wont on the ps4.
I hate AT&Ts service, dont get me wrong. I get lots of dropped calls, mostly when driving. However, a lot of those are rather long distance. While I realize finland is ~900 miles from tip to tip, I also know very few people travel anywhere near that distance on any form of regular basis. Here in the US 100-200 mile commutes are not uncommon. My daily commute is 70 miles, each way - and most of the dropped calls I get are on longer drives than that. Driving from NYC to Ft. Lauderdale, FL (a drive I've done far more often than I'd like in the last couple years) for example is a nightmare of dropped calls, but you have to realize it's also ~1300 miles of driving. At least most of it actually *has* cell coverage though, the large chunks of the year I used to spend in the adirondaks (~300 miles north of NYC) were marked by periods of, uh, less than stellar coverage (that's changed a bit actually).
The US is rather large, and rather sparsely populated. It's harded to maintain a network of up-to-date towers with full coverage here than in finland. Not that it excuses *AT&T's* piss poor infrastructure planning and spending, but it helps explain it. Remember (according to a saying I actually saw first on/.), in the US 100 years is a long time, and in Europe 100 miles is a long distance.
I dont think the point was he was special because he was in the military. I think the point was that since he already was being allowed to carry a deadly weapon on board, checking him for deadly weapons was rather pointless.
I had a war going on with the school admin in HS. I got annoyed one day that she'd dropped new security on the computers in the library and I could no longer do my programming work there anytime I wanted, so I disabled it (the first time around was the easy one, boot off external, change the autoexec.bat entry to start the secuirty software, reboot. I left her a msg on the machine explaining how and why.
She upgraded the software
I did it again (it was a bit harder the next time - no booting off externals anymore for one thing:-p).
This went on for quite a while, until I started using an old laptop my father had given me which I could drop my own IDE and compilers and such on and be able to code *and* compile while in the library (a compaq armada 1750 that I still have somewhere and it still works - most durable laptop I've ever seen, it has been dropped down stairs, in parking lots, battered around sans case in a backpack, had the case melted by a glue gun and a hot light at a couple points, had various alcoholic and sugary drinks spilled on it, etc).
Speaker wiring should be at a minimum, shield from external signals and crosstalk. I used to 100+ feet of speaker wire in my home. It used to pick up transmissions of some sort, meaning I could hear audio from the speakers with the stereo turned off. I never could figure out exactly what I was hearing, but it was clearly words of some sort (actually if some one could shed some light on this I would be grateful).
I've heard that suicide bombers often wrap their genitals in protective cloth, so their junk will be spared from the blast. It has to be in working order for the 72 virgins.
Thing is, for, say, students (and not necessarily HS or undergraduates, this applies to law/med/grad as well), this is nearly the perfect blend. A laptop that *can* last for 5 hrs while note-taking and yet be used for gaming or general more sophisticated work with stats packages/modeling tools/etc as well. At $1,000 price point it's still not that expensive, in the same ballpark as the base model macbook/macbook pro. If this does get the battery life they claim, or close to it, I could see myself buying one...
Who the hell modded this informative?
"The 2006 American Community Survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau found that 19.5 percent of the population had attended college but had no degree, 7.4 percent held an associate's degree, 17.1 percent held a bachelor's degree, and 9.9 percent held a graduate or professional degree."
7.4+17.1+9.9=34.4, actually *over* 30% - if anything the gp underestimated the number with advanced degrees. The quote you used also indicates that another nearly 20% of the US population have had at least some college, bringing the number of people with some university time up over 50%. I'd say this does, in fact, support the GPs point.
True in a lot bureaucracies of, not just govt. The large sums (what "large" is depends on the org) and the tiny sums are easy, the in between... At my old job, if I wrote a $10k or above budget request it was big enough to float to the top and likely enough to be important enough and attached to an important enough grant to go through very quickly. If I wanted to buy something small, under $100, I could go to my immediate boss and have it approved as petty cash in ~5mins. Getting anything (including my first contract) between the $100 amnt and the $10k amnt took *forever* to get processed.
The nice thing about the mac clients is that they support most of these technologies out of the box. For instance sharing NFS between macs and Linux is pretty braindead simple. Of course, that *other* OS still doesn't support NFs out of the box. I mean, I guess you have to give them a little slack, the protocol is only 20 years old....
That said, the *performance* of SL NFS clients is a bit pathetic, even with the locking issues worked around
You know, part of the problem with the FOSS world sometimes is the fixation on "new, shiny, awesome". Sometimes it's more important to do that last 1% that turns a great idea, and cool neat project into something production quality.
Refinement, improvement, and stability fixes are all things that are the least sexy for FOSS devs to donate their time towards, and some of the most useful things for their users. A lot of that work is done by people being *paid* to work on that software, like, say, by Apple!
Is apple the only one? Of course not! When Sun releases something impressive, or IBM, or Intel, or.. etc we have a sotry about that on/. too. This story, however, happens to be about Apple (and, amusingly, them releasing the source to something *new*).

No money *none* of the time probably wouldnt be so bad.
:-p
I think you meant no money *any* of the time
There's a certain irony to that statement... :-p
Unless you're a total tool you've still got to tip the dude delivering the food if you get it delivered...
I have to say, they really *don't* make 'em like they used to! I wish my MBP could stand the kind of punishment my armada could
I dont do this often, but this comment is spot on and needs to be modded up - and I seem to lack any mod points!

Ah, fair enough, I missed that in the post, focused on the actual numbers. Mea culpa, teach me to reach more closely before replying.

On the other hand, since a lot of people already have a couple game consoles in their living room, it fits in just fine :-p
for the record, replies like yours are part of the reason I love /., thank you! :-D
it is compared to 10gbe or 20/40gb infiniband :-p
No fast interconnect on the minis creates a problem there for a lot of applications that could take advantage of such a thing
