Also, redundant links and routers that support OSPF, like the Mikrotik RB493G will increase the reliability and functionality of your network by an order of magnitude.
All wireless backhaul equipment I've ever used supports SNMP. Set up MRTG and nagios. Configure to MRTG to monitor. See what the normal signal levels are. Configure Nagios to monitor and page accordingly. Get a tower guy on call or on staff. Align the antennas to the best signal you can get. Crank them down on the tower legs. Recalibrate Nagios to page at lower levels. The increased signal strength will increase bandwidth by providing a better modulation rate, or at least losing less packets. This prevents your customers from having to be your monitoring service, and they will thank you for it. A few manufacturers (Motorola specifically) make good tools to estimate what your signal level should be at various altitudes on the towers with the correct inclination and antennae. Use it. If you're not within a few DB, send your guys back up to recalibrate again.
If this is too much work, please tell me your service area, so that my old company can move into your area and take all your customers. After setting up our systems with the above, we've increased our customer base tenfold, and deliver triple the bandwidth. We outpace DSL for speed and customer satisfaction. And because of our customer service and quick response times, we've even had people switch from the faster cable. Invest in your customers, and you'll find that many will invest back in you. Treat your customers like a burden, or burden your customers with doing your job like you are, and you'll quickly find my old company taking your customers.
If you need money, and aren't getting it from the government, then why not appeal to the general public? I can't make a huge donation, but I would like to see the research continue, and if we could donate directly to research in the field that would become easier.
I know you're not going to get billions from Joe Randoms on the Internet, but if a couple thousand of us donated $10-20/mo, that would be a bit to help. Why not let us help pay for it crowd-sourced?
California also has a couple more people than the suburbs of Austin, Tx, where I live. Likely, you're sharing some of those wavelengths with people watching netflix.
Whether the period was scheduled maintenance, or emergency maintenance due to failure, a failure should always result in the maintaining of the system, thus I call them all a "maintenance". What service do you or your company pay for that you or your company do not provide? If you or your company don't pay for it, then there are no guarantees. The hosting company I work for is available 24/7/365 or 24/7/366 on leap years. If you call Christmas afternoon, you will get someone working in our office here in the US. We may cos a bit more than some other carriers, but being able to talk to someone has always been worth it to me.
Not all towers carry all carriers. In fact, it's relatively uncommon for providers to share towers. (I worked in the wireless internet industry for quite a while). I see a garbage truck drive past my house on Wednesdays, but I only have my garbage picked up on Friday. It doesn't matter that I don't pay the Wednesday pickup company, dammit, it's a trash truck and I have trash!
I routinely get over 10 mbps at my house on the HSPA+ t-mobile network whenever I test it. It's actually fast enough that most of the time I don't realize when I forget to turn the wifi back on when I get home. Video calls are clear, browsing is snappy, and netflix streams cleanly. When I tether, either with the cable, or as wifi, its plenty fast for me to do my work, and all the things I normally do at home.
Perhaps different markets respond differently, with different towers being busier or less busy, depending on the technologies available.
Get a new 72 pin connector. For less than $20, and about 30 minutes to install it, mine has worked flawlessly for the last 5 years. Best $20 spent EVER.
The alternator is actually about as large as the engine, and you're correct, it's large so it can deliver sufficient torque at lower RPM to maintain under load for extremely extended periods. Not many car engines with a 25 year warranty. After losses from generation and transmission, it probably puts out more raw HP / kW than 50 kW as well.
Fair enough, but I doubt that this runs on rotational force. It *probably* needs to be converted to electricity. Also, that's probably peak HP, and you don't want to run a engine at 5500 RPM for an extended period, unless you really hate reliability.
Working on telecommuting, including accepting a new position at work that should allow it. Right now, I'm just too much a part of a couple critical projects for the next couple months. I'm well aware I did this to myself, however, my choices were limited by the fact that there are only 100 Best Places to Work, and I had a job offer from one of them, and I had bought a house. So, commute for a while, while I get to place I can telecommute, improving benefits, income and lifestyle, or continue to have to pay over $25k out of pocket because my kid got hurt again and my job didn't offer benefits.
It's all a tradeoff, and one I made willingly, knowing all the costs. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like the ability to have functional public transit. I'm not asking you, personally, to fix my issues. I'm just appealing to the general ideal that having a means other than a car would be nice.
It's not an option for me, and I drive 75 minutes each way, every day. This giant waste of my day could be spent working on a project, reading, watching netflix, etc, so that I have my "me" time, and am able to focus on my family while I'm home.
They keep promising that they'll set up rail around here, but it keeps getting killed, between the hippies worried about environmental impact and the business types concerned about cost.
This is the number one problem with the stock market, IMO. If they aren't investing your money in a way you approve of, move your money elsewhere. There are a lot of other companies out there that only invest back into making you more money. Like Apple. But as for me? I use google's services, even when there is a better alternative, because they do ludicrous research. When they become just another company, they'll lose a lot of my hits, which translates into less money to return on your stock. So, how about just letting them run with it, since they're profitable enough that it seems to be working out for them, instead of being shortsightedly greedy?
Considering the large diesel generator we had installed at my last job produces 50 kW, and is purpose made as a generator, I doubt your car's alternator turns out 100 kW.
The owner / visionary behind Tesla is Elon Musk, he same man behind SpaceX. He's definitely what I would consider a visionary. He's bound and determined to drag us into the future, despite much of the entrenched efforts to prevent it. He fully has my support in this.
According to TFA, it's the same as the iPad, when it's on max brightness, which is brighter than the iPad 2, while playing a movie.
If you turn down the brightness, and set it to lower consumption, they state you easily get over 10 hours, during video playback, which is better than the iPad 2.

They do wipe it, however, when it proves them doing something wrong.

There is no moderation option for "I agree wholeheartedly with your statement," so I'll say it instead.

If that is the case, then the support and operational costs will be higher, and they will go with the commercial product.
