I would assume their aim would be to keep going through alaska and join up with the main american rail network in canada. Just going to alaska would seem rather pointless.
I think this is only a question until the last mile also gets ATM or similar technologies.
Afaict ATM is falling out of favour with Ethernet, IP and related protocols/technologies (MPLS, L2TP, PPPoE, SIP etc) being the technology of choice for new networks.
Not sure exactly what you mean by "similar technologies", if you mean voice being delivered digitally to the home then that is already happening in some places. As I hinted in my previous post I suspect we will see more of it though I also suspect that many areas will end up stuck on POTS+DSL for years to come. I also suspect that the interface the end user plugs their phone into will continue to be analog POTs.
The city can't do a damn thing about them, since each reservation is under a different name......
There must be more to it than that. Either there is some restriction in the local laws preventing them implementing measures against this or they can't be bothered and are claiming they can't to shift the blame to someone else.
One obvious measure to make this much harder for example would be to require users bring ID that matches the name under which the booking was made preventing post-hoc sales of bookings.
mmm, I think I bought one textbook (and a few books on techincal subjects not directly related to my degree) during my whole time as an undergrad in the UK (electronic systems engineering at manchester), between good quality lecture handouts and a good library buying books just wasn't needed most of the time.
i've seen estimates of $.30 to $.50 per megabit per second which is A LOT less than standard transit prices
I've seen banner adverts from HE for transit at $0.80/mbps and I imagine big customers can get better deals than that. So it's probablly in the same ballpark as buying transit from cheap providers like cogent or HE.
What would worry me as a content provider would not be the immediate cost but that once it becomes established that buying "paid peering" or transit service from comcast is the only way to get decent performance to comcast users they could slowly tighten the screws on me.
AIUI radiation tends to travel in straight lines starting out in random directions. So the bulk of radiation that is emmited by a source will end up either absorbed by the containing structure, absorted by the ground or radiated into space and even for victims with line of site to the source the radiation will decay according to an inverse square law.
Radiation from the disaster site is really only a concern because of the threat it poses to people dealing with the real problem (which is radioactive contamination that can be carried arround large areas by natural processes).
And even within the broadcast market sometimes video that is not "broadcast quality" is used. There are shows like "you've been framed" that showed funny home videos and there is also the news where sometimes the only video of an important but unexpected event was a home video.
Afaict back in the real world "USB Power Delivery" is only used on dedicated chargers for some of the more power hungry tablets/convertables and "PoweredUSB" is only used on POS equipment.
There is nothing about an URL that is the least bit confusing or hard to describe.
While i'm not a fan of the "hide the URL" idea i'm going to have to disagree with you on urls being confusing. Internet hosntames have the top level of their hierarchy at the end while filepaths have the top level of their heirachy at the beginning. URLs mash the two together so the top level of the heirachy ends up in the middle of the url and you have to pay very careful attention to the punctuation to know for sure what it is.
Scammers were exploiting this design flaw by including in the url something that looked to the untrained or uncareful eye like the top level but wasn't actually the top level.
browsers have tried to mitigate this by using a different shade to highlight the top level and one level below it but it's a pretty subtle hint and one I expect many people to miss.
You can get simple brackets pretty cheaply and easilly and they are often thrown in with the drive. However simple brackets can be problematic in some case designs (including but not limited to cases with backplane setups)
Proper adaptors that result in a unit with the same dimensions as a 3.5 inch drive are made by at least one vendor but are considerablly more expensive, harder to find and i've never seen them included with a drive.
I have to say other than a couple of peices of hardware one of which refused to install at all (NI mydaq) and one of which worked with the low level APIs but not with the higher level APIs (data translation dt9816) I had a pretty good experiance with XP proffesional x64 edition.
People had trouble with it in it's early days but afaict that was more a case of crappy drivers than any problem with windows itself.
Sometimes it's nice sometimes it's a PITA, for example xterm has no obvious way to use the ctrl-c/ctrl-v buffer but firefox has no obvious way to get the url of a link into the middle click buffer (you used to be able to do it by right clicking the link and selecting properties, then double clicking on the url but the properties dialog for links disappeared some time ago)
Open source software makes sense. Free (as in gratis) software makes no sense
The problem is it's very difficult to effectively have the former without the latter. People are very relucant to make significant source code contributions when their is an asymetry in the relationship (you see this even in projects with contributor agreements) and setting up a system to pay every contributor fairly would add massive beuracracy.
For years your choices in video game emulators were blocky (nearest neighbour scaling) or blurry (linear interpolation etc). Then Hqx cam along which looks stunningly good.
Working on generic video that has already been through lossy compression algorithms that throw away high frequency information is obviously harder than working on 80s video games which used hand-drawn pixel art but I would think the same principle of detecting edges and preserving them through the scaling process could certainly be applied.
And as you say most people with 4K TVs probablly won't be getting the full benefit anyway, so add in a scaler that makes their 4K TV look marginally better than their old 1080P TV did and they will be happy.
There is RSA the algorithm and RSA the company. They are related in the sense that the people who came up with the algorithm founded the company but the founders sold off the company over a decade ago.
Whether to trust the RSA algorithm and whether to trust RSA security are not really related issues.
And you control the software versions on all the clients/servers you will be interoperating with.
AIUI (from a compbination of the summary and my memory) if you enable this option you will end up with a ssh client/server that will have serious interoperability problems due to only supporting crypto options that are very new.
Over here in the UK access providers peer with content providers for free.
Why? Probablly because in the UK we have a pretty competitive market for access ISPs, the last thing a provider wants is to get a reputation for being slow and shitty just to earn a few more bucks from gouging the providers of the content their customers want.
On the other hand much of the US has very little ISP competition.
i want my streams crossing every tier 1 network there is
A teir 1 buys no transit and peers with every other teir 1 network. So the maximum number of teir 1 networks you will see in a traceroute (under normal conditions anyway) is 2.
Well the BBC is paid for by the TV license which is essentially a tax.
Nevertheless we have channels on the free to air terrestrial service operated by a wide range of companies and more available on pay services from several vendors using various technologies (one sattelite, one cable and a number of IPTV afaict).
Of course there is a distinction between "POTs as infrastructure" and "POTs as an interface".
The former is likely to slowly go away in many places as maintaining paralell infrastructure for phones and data doesn't really make much sense.
The latter I don't see going away any time soon. Even when fixed phone service is delivered over fiber, coax or even cellular (some unlucky americans have been having their POTS lines replaced with fixed cellular services, YUCK) the end user interface is nearly always a POTs port. It's just that the digitisation happens at the customer premsis rather than at the telephone exchange.
BS, newer systems may (or may not) be VOIP but there are still many systems that use a mixture of analog phones and digital but not IP (not sure if there is a standard for these or if they are vendor specific) phones in use.

Just to make you and anyone else reading this aware: DV format is compressed (though iirc it's only intraframe compressed not interframe compressed)
