What if... let's just say.. your local government installed FTTH for an open network that allowed for any service provider to hook in and compete equally?
Images of 1984 by George Orwell pop into mind like the three factions: Eastasia, Eurasia, and Oceania. “War is Peace” "Freedom is Slavery” and “Ignorance is Strength.” It's always 2 vs 1
9.10 with Nvidia 190.42 works great. Took a bit of work at first to get right moving from 180 as things kinda became a mess. Had to add my users to the video group manually and fix the start-up script. frames are up to 12K from 5K with glxgears. pulseaudio was a problem as the SDL lib for it was not installed. I had to get rid of the old ALSA one and put in the pulse one along with adding my users to the pulse-audio group.
That's about it.. all minor issues to me except for the usual learning curve which is a bit steep to find and resolve these things, but it's the price we pay.
Agreed, but one also looks to Science Fiction where Science, though not predominant to the story, serves as somewhat accurate glimpses into the future.. But GL gets away from that right in the beginning of the movie with "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away"
If one is looking to Science Fiction for the Science aspect, there are better ways to find it. Through books for example.
Wake up. BPL is a crappy technology. It guarantees improper radiation because the power lines aren't shielded at the physical layer. Kill BPL now and demand what we all want: Fiber Optic.
Power lines were never meant to carry RF energy. When they are, they radiate. Cable TV doesn't radiate. It doesn't radiate because it uses a proper transmission medium (Coax). If the power line folks want to distribute DATA, they should string the poles with fiber optic. Better yet, we the people should string it, and sell access to the content providers.. ala municipal fiber networks. They can work folks!
Easy, Fry's Electronics. They are the better Radio Shack. They are what Radio Shack should have grown to. You're lucky if your local RadShack even has solder these days. A 220uf/25V cap or a 2N2222?... NEVER! They lost my electronic hobbyist business years ago. I will never step into their stores ever again... unless I want skins for my Nokia. lame lame lame.. I hope they do rebrand! That's the sign of a sinking ship. Let it sink.
According to local folklore at the time when I attended to RIT in Rochester, NY., the builders of the library didn't take into account the weight of the books when designing the foundation which is why the building is sinking into the swamp it was built on.
We could expound on your idea and look at the weight of an electron as it clocks through a CPU and find out what a bit really weighs(?)
Electrical current is the amount of electrons passed over time (coulombs per second). If we assume a pull-up resistor is 10KOhms and the data is clocking at 500 megahertz running on a 3.3v supply, we'd get: 3.3 V / 10,000 ohms = 330 micro coulombs per second (ampere) 330 uA / 500,000,000 = 660e-15 coulombs per bit 1 coulomb = 6.241506e18 electrons
Therefore, in this example, electrons per bit is: 660e-15 C/b * 6.022e23 electrons per Coulomb = 397.452e9 electrons per bit one electron weighs 9.11e-31 kg, therefore: 397.452e9 electrons per bit * 9.11e-31 kg * 8 bits per byte = 2.896630176e-18 kg per byte 1.0E+15 (peta) * 2.896630176e-18 kg per byte = 2.89 grams
One petabyte weighs 2.89 grams worth of electrons assuming all values are ones. The weight of the library is the important part in this case.

Big ditto on that. I kept donating money to the ARRL's Spectrum Defense fund.

Yeah, seriously. I was waiting for someone to mention this. Why aren't inkjets banned?
then I should sue my town for having the roads available that allowed the perp to get away.
That would be my immediate need.
From the article: "and any audio portion of the performance or display is communicated by means of a total of not more than 6 loudspeakers."
A sea of hydrocarbons (fuel) on Titan, btw.

We want fiber. Shove the BPL and DSL up your a$..

OpenWRT here on an original v2 hardware WRT54G

Yeah, WWII dogfights between messerschmitts, spitfires and mustangs
Careful there.. Your ignorance is showing. Someone place the above to -1 trollbait, please.
Instead of changing the frequency, why not change the physical layer to something more appropriate like, say, CAT5
EMP pulse? Open the closet and get out the old tube gear. Your new DSP gear might be toast, but the old technology still works ;)

Sure, use either Coax or Fiber Optic lines for the data.. Wasn't that an easy fix?

LTSpice does work well under WINE. But does that make it OK under mac?

If I want better grip, I where those sticky rubber work gloves. Has our brain power negated all bodily evolution?
I had a similar 'me too' experience when I moved to Maui. I was just amazed at the detail I had never seen before coming from a NYC suburb.
