My ISP just says my line is for residential use and may not be resold. They used to say you could only connect one computer, but took out that whole section due to complaints. It says nothing about wifi or sharing.
I think it's more like bookcrossing You've already paid for it, now you're letting someone else use it. With books, publishers might not like it because they sell fewer books. With wifi, ISPs may sell fewer connections. Either way it's not stealing.
I don't see a motor control module listed. This might be cool for building robots. It already has the vision system and will soon have audio for saying "Death to all organics".
To get the size they run many chips in parallel from a custom controller, so that gives them good performance. MLC is the cheapest and highest density, but also has shorter life than SLC. Although life won't be a problem with a hgue capacity and decent load leveling.
Mod parent insightful. When the internet started, most services were wide open. A big cost has been the effort that has gone into locking down every port. In the early days DNS allowed updates of any record from any server, most machines had an anonymous ftp account, sometimes even guest shell accounts. Now we have had to cut back on convenient capabilities in order to increase security at tremendous programming and deployment effort. All because some people took advantage of trust for their own gain.
Maybe people are dismissing the review because of stuff like this:
From the summary: "gPC's energy-efficient status is to some extent smoke and mirrors, as I'll explain later."
Later: "Add an LCD monitor and power consumption can go above 80W,... More power-hungry gaming or multimedia desktops and large-screen monitors can consume upward of 500W to 1KW.... While the VIA processor is low-power-consuming and Everex claims the gPC is fully RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, it has no Energy Star rating or EPEAT certification."
Ummm. Can someone explain about the smoke and mirrors? No Energy Star? Please.
Not likely. People I've worked with who don't know what an OS is also don't know how to install software or even understand the whole software/hardware dichotomy. They don't buy their own software, they have their grandchildren do it. The grandchild will just load Wine and get it running.
The article is mostly about the cost/benefit. The treatment has been around since 1990. Each center costs over $100M to build, so probably $10M/year to run. It can only treat a few thousand patients per year. At 2000/year and amortizing over 10 years, that's at least $10,000/patient just in facility cost. They say Medicare pays $50,000 per treatment so I can see why there is a rush to build these.
can't see much non-classroom legitimate use for laser pointers. "sky pointer" is just stupid.
Either you have zero imagination or you just woke up at 2:00 PM to post that comment.
Those lasers are powerful enough to show up (ie: a green line) when pointing out stars and constellations to your significant other or children.
A white stick works just as well and can also be used to hit morons with laser pointers over the head.
I'm not really sure how a laser would bring down a plane though. Do you really think the pilots are up there doing dives and loops and such?
Have you ever been blinded by a driver who didn't dim his headlights? Now imagine something about 5 times as bright.
Pointing a bright laser at an armed police officer is almost certain to win you a Darwin award. I can't see much non-classroom legitimate use for laser pointers. "sky pointer" is just stupid.
Selling something that could potentially bring down a plane to a 13 year old seems like a criminal act to me. I would have no problem with restricting laser sales to adults and requiring them to sign a document showing they understand the consequences of misuse. Seller would be required to keep it on file to prove they aren't selling negligently.
How many vendors of proprietary applications have their source repositories sitting on the Internet with a visible public interface and developers who may never have even met each other logging in from all over the world?

"Because when an 18 year old votes, there is zero chance they'll kill someone due to their inexperience with voting."
You realize that a 19-year old can be given a gun and sent to Iraq to kill people?
You realize that a 19-year old can serve on the jury in a capital case?
Dude. It's really time to upgrade.

Looks like there are about 700 million air passengers per year worldwide, so average $57 for each trip.
I think Sony needs to look up the definition of holography.

Fortunately, you can now get that at Sears.

What a coincidence, so am I!
Give them 703-482-0623. It's the main switchboard at the CIA.
No, what it says is:

The republican governor of California has visited the Antiguan embassy over this. When they refused to listen to him, he said "I'll be back."
Those who don't study history are doomed to reinvent it. And then patent it. ?? And then profit!
Actually, it looks more like this then the old Hero.

Hey
Not sure, but I think I bought this guy's book. The "for Dummies" book on CSS gives the same bad advice. I'll never buy a Dummies book again.
Nobody knows.
Surely there's a better way to keep them off the bird feeder than poisoning them. And why just the males?
