well, when you get DSL or cable or FIOS or whatever, they always come out to install your service, which basically means putting that setup cd in your primary computer. This CD is modifying your computer settings to configure access to the modem and their network. Why wouldn't 'enable QoS' be a viable default option in this configuration change?
TFA mentions that the device sorts the radar returns from moving (even slightly moving) objects and dumps the rest. It's a motion detector. that is all. smoke on, good sir.
but I thought D&D still held onto some version of the 'no ultimate advantage of paying, just acceleration of acquisition/advancement' model. Supposedly you can't get anything by paying that you couldn't eventually earn by playing, or did this change?
because the summary is talking about two entirely separate topics. (1) Helsinki data center will deliver waste heat in useful form to the city. (2)Researchers at MIT are working on a solid state heat-to-electric conversion element called a thermoelectric device. current devices are at best ~10% of Carnot (practical devices approach 10% total efficiency on a good day), and they say they'll hit 40-90% of carnot with their new quantum dot TEG's. We'll see.
You are correct, though. Carnot efficiency discussion only really applies to (2) not (1). Mister itwbennett just decided to lump these two things into one submission.
well, they're suspected of hosting/seeding copyrighted material. The evidence is being pointed to by a torrent tracker for a file with the same name as a copyrighted work. Odds are, it's the copyrighted work in question, but it might not be. Odds are, you actually had the file shared on your harddrive at the time, but you might not have (it could have been a 'glitch' or erroneous pointer). Odds are, there was no legitimate grounds for you to provide broad access to and distribution for the material that is likely protected under someone else's copyright, but you might have.
So, it's all 'suspected' until proven. Seeding provides some pretty good evidence, though.
right there in 5.3(a):... download... any material that is...pornographic.
Boom. no porn. if people followed that, half of the IP space on the net would be freed up immediately. IPV6 adoption could be pushed off for another few decades.
* September 2000 - The first system that enabled the selection, automatic downloading and storage of serial episodic audio content on PCs and portable devices was launched by September 2000 [2] from another early MP3 player manufacturer, i2Go. To supply content for its portable mp3 players, i2Go, makers of the eGo player, introduced a digital audio news and entertainment service called MyAudio2Go.com that enabled users to download episodic news, sports, entertainment, weather, and music in audio format for listening on a PC, the eGo portable audio player, or other MP3 players. The i2GoMediaManager and the eGo file transfer application could be programmed to automatically download the latest episodic content available from user selected content types to a PC or portable device as desired. The service lasted over a year, but succumbed when the i2Go company ran out of capital during the dotcom crash and folded.
* October 2000 - The concept of using enclosures in RSS Feeds was proposed in October 2000 in a draft by Tristan Louis,[5] The idea was implemented (in a somewhat different form) by Dave Winer, a software developer and an author of the RSS format. Winer had received other customer requests for audioblogging features and had discussed the enclosure concept (also in October 2000), with Adam Curry,[6] a user of Userland's Manila and Radio blogging and RSS aggregator software. Winer included the new functionality in RSS 0.92,[7] by defining a new element[8] called "enclosure",[9] which would simply pass the address of a media aggregator.
they can never block the final analog hole. well, until they replace our eyes with digital sensors at birth. a camcorder pointed at the screen will always be enough for some people.
yes, that is the concern. The prime issue would be with broadcasters, who by using the public airwaves are required to provide a certain type of service. If they send with an analog no-copy flag, they could be argued to be degrading the content, which they're not supposed to do.
I finally enabled web on my LG8350. why? well, I'm still on a data-as-minutes plan with verizon, have a bazillion minutes, and I wanted to do certain things. What things? (1) check my email (GMail), and reply on occasion, (2) check flight status. (3) peek at my weekly ESPN fantasy football matchup if I'm out on Sunday. (4) peek at my google calendar, (5) check the weather, (6) google an answer to a question (usually via wikipedia), (7) keep tabs on my Gameknot chess games.
My phone can't do 3/4 of what IPhone users can do. I have to proxy into some sites (like Facebook) because of certificate limitations, so I generally don't bother. But, the things I want to do can be done. Once I turned it on, I can't seem to stop checking my email inbox. the flight status thing saved me many hours on a few occasions as I was heading to the airport. #7 would be nicer if I could log in and make a move, but the Print Friendly version of the game page lets me at least see things. When my sister came along on vacation with her IPhone, we googled things a little more often, but not much more than I did on my own. I could type faster on my phone than the screen keyboard. My wife still uses hotmail, which has decided to 'upgrade' its mobile version and no longer works quite right on LG 2" screen phones.
I'll never follow an ad on any of those sites. There will be almost no direct monetization of my mobile web traffic. BUT, it's a value-add that may keep me using some service when I'm not on a mobile device. Maybe that's enough value to some people to invest the time and effort.

and if that's correct, you've provided wonderful evidence to problem #1

I stand corrected, there it is, supposedly with encryption. Is that just the Pro version?
yes, you can find them here:

Sort according to Encryption setting. note you won't see LimeWire on the list. Don't be scared.

actually, it's not even an answer.

after 6 months you may not be looking at it at all.

i'm sure it is now
I see dead people.
I love Web History. I've already used it to digg up pages I remember searching for and finding 2-3 years ago.
hmmmm... so, what would the 'cost' of spam sent to mars be? and how easy would it be to DoS that single, high latency link?
just stay to the left of the Vicky Mendoza diagonal.
full page add in the Times?
"any gadget that has a Web browser"
hmmm... my LG VX8350 has opera mini... War and Peace may lead to some tired scrolly-thumbs.
I'm interested, please show me what the terminal screen version of Mosaic is like.
