    No, it's time for the civil war, elimination of both major political parties (with lethal force if necessary,) and a full return to a true multi-party system.

    As far as I'm concerned, all of this irresponsible crap that has been coming from Palin is incitement to murder, incitement to riot, and much more.

    I'm willing to put up a bounty of IPO (when I begin offering it soon,) for her successful arrest, trial, and incarceration, along with every other mouthpiece, like Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.

    Are you sure about that? When I ran a home cleaning business, I saw many people torrent/limewire/kazaa/youtubing their equipment to death, not to mention some of the internal network traffic (one guy had a gig-e router hooked up to a 24 port 10baset hub.. the packet collisions..... so many..)

    Also, you need to think globally, not locally in the USA where bandwidth is bullshit (although FiOS has forced the others to up their shit recently,) still not as good as Japan with HOME GIGABIT INTERNET which could suck down far more than I use internally and externally on a daily basis.

    Also, the Camfrog community is *HUGE* and consists primarily of home users. It just got acquired by Paltalk, which makes Paltalk the largest videochat community on the internet.

    Guess how much bandwidth that chews up?

    Yea, as I said, it chews up way more than you think.

    And that's NORMAL HOME USERS.

    Step out of the basement. What was true 5 years ago isn't true now.

    I saturate it easily just with my favorite video chat program (100 live web cam streams simultaneously,) in fact I had to upgrade to an 802.11n router so I could have the extra bandwidth and better QoS using my video chat program while I torrent.

    Nope. Part of the security system requires matching keys for the executable, too.

    What you would likely have to do is slip the required key into the proper place in the ISO depending upon required disc type, burn it, and let the console read it.

    Lower frequencies don't carry as much data, as I stated before.

    Also, bear in mind that for each extra device connected to the wireless access point, that's less available bandwidth overall. That 54mpbs rating for 802.11g is a pooled rating, meaning every time you add a new client onto the AP you lose some bandwidth - not every single person gets 54mbps throughput unless you're the only person using that access point/that channel.

    Also, most the lower frequencies are already allocated for certain services by the FCC, and thus you can't put internet on those wavelengths without risk of interrupting those services. Going into any of the areas unlicensed would likely be a big headache as there's very little bandwidth in those ranges anyways.

  22. Re:Good news on Samsung Develops Power-Sipping DDR4 Memory · · Score: 2

    Not happening. Higher-frequency transmissions need more power to go further. Lower frequencies don't carry as much data, so there's a huge trade-off in play.
