Previous reply aptly noted this was for RF, and to further expound on your hollowed out conductor, that is exactally where you start crossing into waveguide technology (a hollow conductor). Interestingly I've seen coax that was about 1.5" in diameter adn the inner conductor was a spiral wound copper tube, not a solid or stranded conductor. I looked it up and it was basically for applications where a waveguide was ideal, but not mandatory, but plain 'ol high performance coax was not up to the job, and coax was the preferred medium due to application specifics (i.e. you don't want to bury waveguides in direct burial wiring). -nB

That's where SCHED comes in, everything stays encrypted till it hits the video card (which through HDCP) maintains encryption through the video to the monitor (or so is the plan).
And this is why I don't upgrade. If I have a purpose machine (I have three) I don't change them for anything. They live on an isolated network, their only connection is to the server, which hosts data for them. There are ghost images of the disks, so if the inevitable* happens I can go back. It's a bit obtuse, but it works. No reason to upgrade my video editing system. By the time I need new features it's likely time for a hardware refresh anyway.
*one of them is Windows. Guaranteed doing nothing it will manage to break its self with wierdness.
Electric cars are also a non-issue for the moment. Should they become enough of an issue then I would assume that the shortfall would not be made up in utility rates, but by the VLF (since that is not going away anytime soon). -nB
In exchange I expect no fuel tax, no Vehicle licensing requirements or fees and free public transit. Then you have a deal.
Of course you realize that
And, I believe ALL major roads should be toll so that the people who are actually using a road can pay for it. this is already covered by fuel tax. The more you drive (likely predominately on major roads), the more fuel you use, thus the more tax you pay. Also, the heaver your vehicle, the more fuel you are likely to use, thus the more tax you pay.
But go ahead and place toll booths at every major road. Traffic would come to a dead standstill. -nB
Sure, maybe a million-dollar lab can open the chip inside a suitable vacuum and snoop the internal busses; for most people that's out of range, and the kind of people who run million-dollar labs don't tend to allow their use just to warez the latest game. The actual costs are a few thousand, and no chips need to be opened. This is how the xbox and wii were cracked. The costs to decap and probe a chip are about $65K, likely to be part of a multi-million dollar lab, sure, but equally possible for an advanced amateur to acquire (especially for single chip work, a manual used Wentworth prober in need of some light repair, can be had for under 10K if you look in the right places). Any idea how I know this? -nB
yes and no. Surewest is their own TelCo, so no waiting on AT&T for anything. They have a peering point to AT&Ts OC ring, but I doubt AT&T is going to filter that...
I live in California and have SureWest DSL. I'm at the boundry of their service area and as a result only get 1Mbps, but! That 1Mbps is *faster* in aggregate than I had under AT&T with 3-6 meg! Without fail. -nB
