"Each user would have the phone situated on different surfaces with different resonances, which I presume would lead to different readings and waveforms."
Sure, but if you combine a couple of thousand readings from roughly the same location, it will give you a pretty exact picture. That way you can eliminate trucks, metro or other sources of data pollution.
So this is how the next sci fi movie tracks the truck with the cargo: Lets zoom in, in impossible sharpen mode, oh, look they have the app running, quick, track the truck by sieving all the data from the app in that city and plotting the truck travel.
This is kinda how massive detectors at places like LHC work on sub atomic particles to track in detectors like ATLAS; so it isn't too much of a stretch to scale it to macro.
Amen , bro.
I had my receptionist PC get vmundo'ed because her Symantec Corp hadn't been updated for ages. She logs on and off the lan daily, but the IT dept has decided to not release the lock on SAV Corp for Liveupdates, and have made other silly decisions re the amount of updates the SAV service would do. It was like they picked the worst features and locked them out, then disabled the useful ones.
Grr.
... were also looking for the cheapest labour they could get.
I'm suspecting that you'll also find that those were the banks handing out the biggest bonuses for their executives.
When this disaster is over, I recommend lots of government regulations to ensure that, in the future, none of the banks (or other financial institutions) ever get "so big that we cannot let them fail".
In theory, with the "Free Market", these banks WOULD fail because they were badly managed. Instead, we're propping them up and rewarding their failed management.
I agree, Ron Paul should be listened to more often. Rewarding is a bad idea since there needs to be some fundamental changes to make a sustainable market.
It's pretty impressive that Facebook has been able to grow so quickly and handle so much traffic. Their down time has been pretty insignificant related to the sheer number of requests that blow through their servers every day.
There's probably a thing or two that can be learned from their developers and IT folks. I just wish I knew more about the whole underlying structure so I could appreciate exactly what they've done.
I agree. I wonder how much of the Google Map Reduce and other innovations they brought into being are borrowed into facebook. I would like to see more details too!
Nice proof, but not relevant to the issue at hand because the article is about registrars not the source hosts. Have you done a lookup of who registered those spam sites? That is what this is about. No RDNS makes life difficult.
I know that hit music science may be something that people have heard of, but the whole technology of the measuring and subsequent optimizing of music output scares me. We must be aware of it.
This has been around for about 4-6 years now people.
No wonder you think indie music is better.

I was at Dad's office in the late 70's playing Adventure on a spare Terminal to his Honeywell mainframe. In the early 70's he would let me draw pictures on the punch cards and would scan them in just in case something magic happened. You know, because a million monkeys might write Shakespeare... Nothing happened BTW.
My first video game experience that had graphics was probably Centipede on my neighbour's Vic 20. I don't know if I had been to an arcade to play Asteroids before then; Heck I was only about 10 when I played Centipede.
Nah, it was one of those corrugated plastic sheets that is quite stiff. It went across the top of the rack posts and there was no front, back or sides on this rack. Think poles, not doors. Plenty of air flow. It was like a sheet of plywood lying on the top of some poles that had stuff bolted to them, just made of light plastic. So the water dripped onto my head as I made sure the servers were healthy. 8)
Stick it to the man. Reminds me of the time I was at UBC working in the "server room" and we had water running out of the ceiling onto the server rack. Mark went and got some plastic shield and thus a splash guard deflector was instantly fabricated. The Netware servers were saved.
Turns out the building's third floor had a lab where they left a drip running but the bottle slipped and plugged the drain overnight.
I think a splash guard is a good idea now for any mission critical rack. It is cheap as chips and simple.

"Other groups did surgical procedures on animals in microgravity. We've flown every possible piece of the puzzle, many times. This is the logical next step, and yes it is experimental, but that's what researchers do."
I agree, it is the next step if what you say is true....Someone else go can find white papers about it.
Did the professor start a lecture one day in class and say: "I've noticed a number of you are using laptops during the class. I like the idea that you are enhancing your learning experience and perhaps taking notes on your laptops, but I would appreciate it if you would keep their use to a minimum during the lecture to avoid distracting other students. If you feel that you must take notes on a laptop for the entire lecture, please make use of the back three rows in the lecture hall to avoid disturbing the other students."
I have got to tell you that Skype to Vancouver, and also Skypeout to Vancouver Island is better than anything I got from TelstraClear on my POTS. I am in the south island on a 2M/512 cable modem and I prefer my headset over my land line for international calls.

Excellent!

Great point, I had completely missed that. I must be tired.

That really cleared it up for me, thanks. It makes much more sense to me now.

Yup.
This is a great idea. I bet their contract with MS as a reseller denies it.
I don't think they do. Look into the NAFTA Soft wood lumber dispute. Canada is owed 5 Billion. Details here: http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/softwood_lumber/
and

Just goes to show you that the USA will ignore, and then delay. They then have the gall to change the rules and force the other parties to accept the changed rules. The arrogance is amazing to me.

Yeah, your upstream ISP routing is beyond your control, still is.

Two Words: Novell GroupWise It does not have Notes' app building, but in all other respects is superior. IMHO.
