If they shut off the internet, they will be shutting off most peoples phones. This causes safety concerns and is probably beyond what the idiot who came up with this ideas sight.
I several times set up my computer to dual boot windows and linux. In the end I would just end up booting into windows and leaving it there. I Knew how things worked and could fix issues, it was comfortable but I hated windows. Finlay one day I took the plunge and formatted my hard drive. I only installed Ubuntu onto my computer. I haven't looked back sense. I love trying to figure little things out and make it work a certain way again. I do keep an old laptop lying around running XP for the odd time when I have to run windows, like setting up my DSL modem but otherwise it stays tucked away in the corner
In a decade, I can see handhelds having so much storage and so much processing power, that we'll all just carry around our PC-on-a-phone and just use a standard interface to put that PC on any external monitor and keyboard.
Ok I have heard this a million times now and I just dont see it happening. Cell phones are easily lost, broken, dropped in toilets or stolen. Could you imagine what you would feel if you dropped your pc in the toilet. I can see integrating more tasks into it, but you will still have a need for a base station.
Yes in some areas teachers do make decent money, but in others they make what equates to just above minimum wage. My mother was a teacher in one of these lower paying locations. Growing up we where pretty well on the lower end of lower middle class, where as I had an aunt who taught in one of the higher paying locations and they made out pretty well.
Hold up, if I am not mistaken isnt one of the definitions of engine: A machine that converts energy into mechanical force or motion.
So that just leaves drifting with the wind or current. I think a sail might be mutch more practical.
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. With projects that cost as much as these and in outer space this reins more true than ever. Over engineer every thing. That is why I am not surprised when these things last past there expected life span. It means the engineers are doing there job.
So when exactly did we get away from open source hardware. Didn't at one point all appliances, TV's and radios come with wiring diagrams inside the case. Whenever it broke you where expected to either fix it yourself or take it to someone to get fixed. A lot of people would fix it differently than it originally was to make it either more feature rich or less likely to break again. There was a lot of innovation being done by people at home trying to fix there broken appliance. Take the control knob on your washing machine for example. That was thought up by someone at there house when the control for there washing machine broke. A lott of things we are used to having on products came from this time when people fixed and improved the products that they bought. now if something we own dosnt do something we want or breaks we throw it away and buy a new one, and we wonder why our landfills are filling up.
I cant speak for all cable providers but I as a contractor for the local cable company know that at least in my area, witch is a rural area in the middle of no where, is running fiber to all of its nodes from the head end. The thing is that coax cable is cheap to run and cheap to buy compared to fiber. run fiber to where you are going to see the bigest increases in congestion reduction and run the cheaper coax the "last mile". With that in place it is very simple in the future to run the fiber farther down the lines if demand arises, witch it will. The name of the game is The name of the game is do what the customers want in the most economical way possible while not setting yourself up to be left behind when upgrades to the system are needed at a later date "future proofing".
Yes I do agree with your post, but what would happen to AMD if Intel was always 2 or 3 steps ahead of them? Intel would have a monopoly on the market because AMD wouldn't be able to keep up. Just for visual lets say as AMD was releasing the 300Mhz K6 Intel was releasing the P3, who would buy the K6 300? They would have to cater to a niche market to survive.
About 20 years ago my grandfather who was a pathologist told me to wash my hands as little as possible in order to keep my immune system strong. To this day the only time I wash my hands is after pooping and before cooking for others. Since then my body has been able to fight of hepatitis B without me even knowing that I ever got it. The only way I found out that I ever had it was when I tried to give blood the blood tests returned that I was a hepatitis antibody carrier. Also with the out break of encephalitis in this area and the sheer number of the mosquitoes it would not surprise me one bit if I have been bitten by an encephalitis carrying mosquito. Basically small weak germs are good for your body, they gives your immune system a work out and keeps it in shape so when it does encounter that really nasty germ it has the strength to fight it off.
Isn't this the same business model that drug dealers use. Give them the first couple of hits for free and get them hooked so they buy more. Does this make warez sites micro crack slingers?
To me the easiest way to pick out a lossy codec from a lossless is to listen to the symbols. Most head phones ear buds or bundled component speaker systems cant reproduce extreme highs clearly and thats why most people cant tell the difference between lossy and lossless but get your self a decent set of speakers, a decent player to play them on (MP3 players wont cut it) and any audio file that you have in original quality and compressed in a lossless format and listen to the symbols. There is a huge difference.

So if you put a tin foil hat on a chimps head it will be completely lost?
But does it work as a phone? Sure touch screens and app stores are nice but I want mine to work as a phone to.

It wouldn't be just replacing equipment at the ends, you have the repeaters to that would need to be upgraded.

scientists needing huge optics 8-) whood a thought it
Yes but here is my predicament, without the paper how do you get the experience.
Stephen Colbert just gave Firefox 3 the Colbert bump on his show.
so men would be walking around with pron showing on the front of there hat??? ...
the key is to look out for the women with the pron on there hat

A government agent who will remain un-named for security reasons just informed me that black krylon works for this situation
