It is useless to have on continuously or, when it is on, at maximum transmit power, etc.. There is no point in having it enabled if you are just taking notes in class, etc.
Correction: it is now a 180mbit link + a 1 gbit cogent link as well as a 1 gbit link dedicated to internet2.
The other document was outdated. Still, considering the number of systems (hundreds if not thousands of systems in computer labs plus thousands in dorm rooms) it has to be an interesting task to deal with.
Last I read I think it might have been ?OC3? but this is in an area where you can't get 100mbit for $10-$40/mbit and there are NOT 20k students on the system at any point in time (or even on campus).
Packet inspection. Unless of course you encrypt the data 100% both ways but then they just block port 80 because you aren't allowed to run a web server.
People talk about using TOR, etc. for P2P but at least last I checked they specifically request that you NOT use TOR for those purposes as it puts too much strain on the network.
Bandwidth is the speed. GB/Month (unless you are referring to the maximum amount your connection can transfer at it's highest speed) is typically referred to as transfer.
And of course, everyone in that 1% has to be someone abusing the network.... There is no such thing as a household with multiple people using different computers wanting to watch legal videos.
Something that always amazes me is that a university with 20,000 students on a 100mbit (or sometimes less) line can manage to do network shaping, etc. correctly but ISPs in even small towns cannot.
One major thing that the university I go to does: you have to OPT IN to file sharing access. No big deal, you just say I need it for whatever legal reason and they activate it.
This would also reduce the random kids connecting to file sharing networks (their parents, in theory, would have to activate it).
It would also reduce the number of people who break into some unsecured wifi network to download because there wouldn't be as many networks that had the ability to file share.
Wages do not really account for inflation or increases in minimum wage.
Consider the number of people who had to have raises just so they would be paid minimum wage, or those who had started out at minimum wage, worked multiple years, and now are back to working minimum wage instead of receiving an increase in salary based on the increase in minimum wage (the total of their past raises, etc.) (this part of it is more of the employers fault, but it shouldn't happen).
Actually once when I was really bored I read one of the tax manuals.
It included paying taxes on SERVICES that are rendered to you freely that would normally cost money. Don't think just using another currency is going to get you out of paying taxes.
This is bullshit. When they arrive at the station and their train is not there, usually they'll ask someone working there or start to complain to someone working there, at which point they'll get informed about the facts of life.
Kind of like the people that sit in a movie theater 45 minutes after the movie is supposed to start before they go ask someone that works there why it didn't start? (True story)
Yes, in my example, intelligent people will look up to the control booth, see if someone is working on something, and if not go talk to someone about 1 minute after the movie is supposed to start (or even before, if there are normally advertisements), but you always have the people who just figure 'oh they will notice eventually' or 'someone else will complain'.
And what is fun is the only way you actually realize they are loud in the store is if the store is silent. The consoles in most stores are not the same as the ones you buy.
You would think microsoft would make a program for windows that costs a similar amount of money to the xbox itself to people could play the games on PC. That way they can make even MORE money off the 'console' and also claim they aren't forcing you to buy a piece of hardware that fails 50%+ of the time.
Then it would just be a piece of software that crashes 99% of the time.
Unless you want it to be able to go up/down stairs, etc. and then you need a more expensive device.... One person will say 'spend a few million and I will create a device that can climb stairs' the other will suggest a camera attached to a small remote control helicopter.
The government will choose the most expensive option.

Would have fit right in line with Die Hard 4
That depends on what you put in the tubing ;)
So to get the best benefit you need to run gentoo and compile everything for the arch?

Actually if I remember correctly it is Netbook Ubuntu or something similar to that. It isn't just Ubuntu compiled differently.

Fact is that the SOIL is public. That means that the SOIL is YOURS. Now would you like to be charged for living into your house? I doubt it.
Ever heard of property/real estate tax?

What happens if the next flight is overbooked? Eventually you would have to have a plane dedicated to the people who have been waiting.
Unfortunately the best option is probably buying a $10-$20 tracfone (or other pay as you guy) specifically for the trip to the US.
It shouldn't be that way, of course, but typically at least then you aren't locked to specific towers, etc.
I forget the source but I read about something almost identical to this 6-10 years ago.

What about sticking the hard drive inside a slightly more powerful pulse discharge can crusher?
I am guessing it would take a lot more capacitance but it would be fun to see.

But at different rates per day/month.
Or it could, you know, have some form of sensor to detect when the magazine is closed.

It would be impossible to create a circle with exactly the circumference you wanted based on the radius/diameter.
The ability to create a perfectly shaped circle is a whole other issue as the atoms that make up that circle are constantly moving.
I think the term 'off the grid' has been used in this fashion for a while now.
