Alberta is the Texas of Canada, and there's cheap hydro power from BC to power them.
In fact, anywhere that electricity comes from cheaper solar, wind, or hydroelectric sources, given how people actually use their trucks, an electric truck makes sense.
The goal is 10 miles. Actual implementation depends on various factors.
ARPA*NET was mostly just POTS when you got down to it, and most of what I recall was 110 baud and 300 baud implementation, with a few 300/1200 later. I know there was an earlier stage, but it didn't get to UBC and SFU until then.
Not to worry, they won't filter out the keyboard noise until it's being sent from the server to the other person(s) on the call, so the NSA can still hear and analyze the keystrokes.
Being able to hear the sounds of the keyboards allows us to accurately identify your typing patterns and tie the passwords used into the other metadata.
I would buy a 3D printer that plugs into my TV, provided it used organic compostable food "plastics".
That would be cool.
It would go well with my 1000 Gbps internet connection that will be rolled out nationwide within 10 miles of all top tier research universities in North America. For only $10 a month.
Well, it's GIS map info, the Google app tracking of your searches, the cell phone tracking devices in all US cities that geolocate you downtown, the traffic camera feeds with license plate matches, the credit or debit card transactions at every store, the answers you gave to what you thought was a cute girl online but was actually a fake harvesting bot.
All of that plus your digitized walking stride, your clothing selections, and everyone you talked to and were within 3 feet of.
Congratulations!
You live in a Police State that makes the Stasi look like pikers...
So I have heard that texting while driving is same or worse than driving while drunk in terms of attention and reaction time. So, we have all encouraged (at least here in California by the CHP) to call 911 when we see a suspected drunk driver (which is harder to spot than a texter I might add) but what about calling 911 on a texter? Much easier to prove after the fact right? What do you think? A little too Nazi-esque?
Texting while driving is not worse than driving while drunk.
That is, if you drink more than 12 shots of vodka.
It's reduce reuse recycle. This makes it reduce reuse recycle compost.
Again, the Perfect getting in the way of the Good. Most actual waste is pre-consumer, not post-consumer. The waste from making this is... compostable... for food.
(stares at person not getting chemical cycling, or distribution energy/material costs, or display space heat/cooling costs)
Tables and chairs should last just about forever. Creating a disposable version of what should be a durable item just because you can dispose of it "responsibly" is nonsense.
"Fashion" anything is part of the problem, and enabling it is not the solution.
See, this is where you let the Perfect be the enemy of the Good.
Should does not mean will.
People do certain things. They make stupid beer steins and telephones out of football helmets. They wear one use only dresses for weddings.
Making those easy to compost and use to grow more food means it doesn't go in a landfill to pollute more, it gets recycled into something useful when they finally clean house.
Look, scoff all you want, but here at the UW we can now use 3D printers to literally print compostable objects using the same "plastic" we use to make forks and spoons and plates from that are compostable - to grow more food.
Think about it.
Reusable chairs and tables that can be composted. Fashion footwear you can throw in the yard waste bin to be turned back into food when they're out of fashion.
You really don't get it, do you.

The Green Revolution 3 is here. And it's happening whether you want it to or not.
I mean, if they used that second OS layer to track you, they'd be setting up inconspicous WiFi tracking cell stations in all major cities that literally know exactly who you are and where you are even when you think your cell phone is off.
Like those recently reported in Seattle on The Stranger.

There's a lot of wind energy in Texas looking for something to use it.
Electric trucks would work well with swap out battery systems. One size fits all.
If you've never driven an industrial electric turbine car, you've never drag raced.
Now that is acceleration!

Initially most funding tends to come from the military, like half of what we do.
You do know that ARPA*NET was a mil program, don't you?
You mean like the networking switches (do a search for UW engineering) or the field tests (try using the words Allen and high speed in a search).
Like I said, do your own work. I'm not doing it for you.
Not to worry, they won't filter out the keyboard noise until it's being sent from the server to the other person(s) on the call, so the NSA can still hear and analyze the keystrokes.
good to hear.
We're already building the infrastructure to tie together the campus locations. It's kind of how we build the Internet back when it wasn't public.
Various citations. Not going to do your work for you.

Just wait a year. 1000 Gpbs internet is rolling to all locations within 10 miles of a top tier research university nationwide. For only $10 a month.
It's part of the Internet 2 initiative.

Seriously, if you want to buy electronics you either do it on Cyber Monday or you do it in February.
Everyone knows that.
We don't care about 3D.
We also don't care about 4D.
Nobody cares what the "industry" wants us to buy.
The only reason we even bought 1080p HDTV sets in the first place was we were forced to.
It did kill lots of people, just not in the US.
But that way leads to madness.
We're Serfs, not Citizens.
You assume I'm not part of the machine on purpose.
Interesting ...
why? because you're lazy.
Now go away. The world is changing whether you want it to or not.
I must have missed the part where we announced that SARS was no longer a threat.
So long as people and animals live in close proximity with birds, it is a threat.
And, quite frankly, that has for the most part not changed, in terms of behavior or consumer attitudes in Asia.

Oh please, it's not hard to set up a composting bin. In fact, there are 3D printer plans if you can't figure it out yourself.
Although worms do help.
Again, you're just arguing because you don't like change that isn't "perfect".
The world is a messy place. Get used to it.

If you drink less than that, it is worse to text.
That doesn't stop people from doing it though. One time I counted 1/4 of all drivers using cell phones while their car was in motion.
Drivers.
Not passengers.
Think about what I said.

Don't be paranoid.
By the way, I like your new shirt.
