I was under the impression that
- "nG" was originally just an arbitrary marketing term, approximating "Our company's Nth generation of equipment, better than our (n-1)G service".
Correct. The nG is, conveniently, comparable to WiFi versions and names. Unsurprisingly, after 3G became well known, it was decided that since a year or so had gone by, 4G needed to come into existence. This is closely related to marketing, of course.. So, because mobile phone "G" wasn't something that was integrated into mobile phone towers annually like the next year of fashion, carriers decided to use a 4, then some used the acronym LTE, etc.
When a large number of antennas are upgraded, that must also include testing and adjusting settings due to differing land (and buliding) structure, altitude, composition, and weather in unique areas, across the country. Design and testing for this of course can't be done annually.
"nG", and other things involving mobile phones, are not technical/proper versions. Go to a phone store and ask a technical question; you'll receive a marketed response.
Is there a connection between homosexuality and anal sex, where if you are gay you are predisposed to it? Or is it a "second best" option that allows two men to experience intimacy, and thus is welcomed?
Similarly to what rearden said, no, there is no direct connection. Some people like some things, others are disgusted by those things. It's the same as everything else; what is it about women that is attractive to a straight man? It depends on the man.
For an unrelated comparison, do you prefer Coke or Pepsi? Personally I don't drink much cola, but when I do, it's RC:)
Saw a presentation a couple years ago from Oregon State's beer professor. There's a lot of research being done on beer, and its foam, and some far more detailed than this story.
Oh, it's so difficult to avoid ranting about ISP's. I have a friend from the East (which means Portland because I'm from Beavertron) who works downtown at an ISP and is excited by CenturyLink's connections. He didn't believe me when I explained my speed was symmetrical and limited at 25Mbps, because I told him that was the slowest available. Another friend informed me of Comcast's new modems. They're the 3.0 version of modems.
Technology is going too fast for average people to understand, and many think these "fast" DSL and cable speeds are an amazing jump from initial DSL and cable speeds. It seems our options are finding a magical way to overpower the sparkly wires in Comcast ads and the moronic experts in CenturyLink ads, both of which are believed, like witch-hunting experts, or wait for the gradual expansion.
Q: Why is this FAQ so fucking long?
A: Because the people who write this crap have copious amounts of spare time, and it makes an interesting intermission between faps.
Q: What happened to tieve.tk?
A: The jews at dot.tk took it down.
Don't actually go downtown for better speed, unless you're in a very small town. Buildings do nothing but deflect signals. Signal strength is likely better in a downtown park, even if it's full of trees, than between buildings.
Seriously, though, it is Windows PC's that are present in government organizations, can gain sentience, and launch nuclear attacks to destroy all humans..
Please tell your colleagues that the best music uses all or most of a CD's 80 dB volume range, not just the top 5 dB (i.e. avoids volume compression).
This has already been attempted. Customers used to the "top 5dB" bought new CD's that had been mastered properly, in the 80dB range, and didn't like their new quiet CD's. The record company received a deluge of "low volume" complaints.
FYI, the PSX and the DC aren't all that close. The Saturn was of the same generation as the PSX and was more complex/powerful, and the DC was the next generation. It may not be outside the realm, but it'll likely take a while.
The summary only said "dream console" because it sounds neat. I think a Wii is worth having for its unique qualities, but an Xbox does everything you mentioned and is much cheaper. I'm sure a few other systems have that many emulation abilities as well.
It's uncommon, but some kids in my area mysteriously move a few weeks or a month before 9th grade starts. The parents don't actually move; only their child "moves" in with a close family friend who lives in the less laughable school's area, then they take public transit or get rides to their new school.
A response as soon as this is a good indicator, but I have a feeling, even though the Ars article notes other interesting points, the seemingly bad numbers will be focused on since a torrent site brought that point. Mr. Watters, even though your response makes sense, only 0.3% of Internet readers will realize you're not ignoring obvious fallacies. It's funny how much the speed of the Internet detriments the time put into considering the facts that make up the context.

But, if a device is invented for a move it can be patented.

No, Hodgkin's is a subset of lymphoma with a relatively significant level of research when compared to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin's is generally viewed as worse than Hodgkin's, but may still be beaten. But, of course, it's cancer, which is virtually always an ordeal.

Ah, my source was my VW manual.
But they can void the warranty if the oil is changed with the wrong brand of oil.

What is SD?
For things like DV footage, I don't bother with the dedup.
Even with M. Night Shyamalan movies?
Not sure it would make a sound "winding down", but it does have an awesome warning alarm.
The other informative thing to check is their previous post - scroll just past the pictures.
Eventually a boy will say he has a fart bomb which will cause girls to scream and run away, which will cause panic all around.

No kidding. The only reason I have an account there is that I fell for an old trick, and didn't look at the actual href of the link I clicked.

Sprints WiMax network IS a different technology that gives higher speeds than 3G, so why wouldn't it be called 4G? its the 4th generation of tech.
It could just be called WiMax. It's not actually the fourth generation, it's just a new generation after 3G and 3.5G were prominent.
I've only owned one Mac in my lifetime, so my knowledge of them may be minimal; but OSX no longer boots. Doesn't seem that rare to me.

It seems we have a conundrum.

It seems to work quite well.
