"The goal is to study smog and its consequences as well as better understand the sources of air pollution" <tinfoilhat> Oh, that's what they say... But let's just see if they don't get used for citizen surveillance as well... If they're already flying there, you know someone in power will ask for it. </tinfoilhat>
Yes, the speed is constant, but the hand moving close to the speed of light relative to the observer would compress in the direction of travel (again, to the outside observer), thus, be less of a distance for the light to travel.
Expecting people to request permission to access a freely broadcasted network, in my mind, is akin to asking the owners of a given web server in person before connecting to port 80.
How do you know if a webserver doesn't want you there? It specifically tells you (via login needs/ACL/etc). The same should hold true for a wireless network.
What you are attacking is subscription practices and has nothing to do with the network architecture itself. In fact, DSL oversubscribed has the potential to affect everyone connected to a particular CO instead of the more isolated nodes.
The fact is, your cable connection cannot use more bandwidth than is allowed to it. Nor can your DSL.
If the capacity is oversubscribed, performance is degraded. This is true for any ISP that you are going to have in your home.
He didn't have to. That's the origin of that myth. We've seen new iterations of it with cable is shared! FIOS isn't! but it is all a bunch of b.s.
The internet by its very nature must be shared unless you are going to have discrete point to point physical links to every other network-enabled, internet-connected device in existence.
The important part is the overall capacity and management of the shared tubes. The point where all the trucks start using the same road doesn't matter as long as the onramp/merging is handled properly and as long as the road is large enough.
I'm confused? What does FCC ok'ing the iphone as a radio device have to do with enterprise mobile devices?
When I said "we are mandated by law," I was speaking as a corporate IT worker, and not as an individual.
I was replying to a poster who was comparing IT security with the book 1984. There was no intent that anyone take it as anything but a statement saying that we really can't legally use iphones in that environment as they do not meet the minimum requirements that we must take to protect our data.
You do realize that in many (most?) cases, we are mandated by law to protect our information on mobile devices with passwords/encryption?
I'm a huge advocate of personal freedom, but on an enterprise-class mobile device, support for centraly managed policy is a MUST to comply with HIPAA, SOX, etc.
1984 does not apply to a corporate environment, sorry.
The same BLOG linked to also states that ie7 is in use more than firefox. However, the tagline for the slashdot story says "firefox is strong". In the time it has come out, more people have adopted that single version of internet explorer than are using all versions of firefox combined.

That is what I read the title as. I had a weird symphony pictured in my head.

That and water is relatively easy to break apart, put back together, recombine with other things, etc.
It wouldn't be far fetched to think that only minute amounts of the current water on earth was formed this way.
That is generally where every element that isn't hydrogen comes from...
(note: generally since nuclear reactions also take place outside of stars)
I think this is just an evil plot to get us all downmodded -1 redundant ;)
We all replied with the same thing within seconds of one another.
The parent of your post knew the answer, and knew we'd all correct him at the same time!
10K, not 10k...
10K is not vague. It is 10 Kelvin

Sort of. Yes.

It as if hundreds of ray tracing fanboys cried out at once, and were silenced.
I don't really think this a troll. It is pretty true.
Every get the feeling that the summary was written by someone who doesn't quite grasp all the relevant details of the topic?
After that atrocious summary, I couldn't be bothered with RTFA
"decreased the average amount of time residents spent driving by 100 hours per month"
Huh? The average resident now drives 3 hours less per day? Is everyone in KY a truck driver or something?

And so the "cable is shared! dsl is not!" myth still survives.
They are all shared and technically oversubscribed (were everyone to use their advertised bandwidth). *Where* the "sharing" starts is irrelevant.

ummm.....
2560x1600 monitor vs. 1360x768 (cheaper) or 1920x1080 (about the same price) TV
That is why.
Possibly... However, we are supposed to believe that the windows masses never patch their systems as well are we not?

Only on slashdot folks.
you have 12 fingers on one of your hands?
Rights?
They are at work.
I've never heard of the right to unfiltered internet access at the workplace...
no place like local(host)?
you mean no place like ~?
I wasn't calling one or the other worse. I was pointing out that people will whine and fight in all situations.
There is just as much or more license squabbling in the OSS world as there is the other world.
It's kind of sad.
Blame the big corporations?
