same here cut cable Dec 29th switched over to a low rate DSL line and Netflix + Broadcast.. haven't looked back and enjoyed telling TimeWarner to fuck off.. they even sent a sales rep to my home to try to get me to reconnect -- best they would do was 90$/m for a year.. sorry i pay a total of 35$/m and that isn't a promo cost..
no idea about your question - but i would like to note to you that if you have no encryption and are only doing mac filtering - it is trivial to listen to existing traffic and spoof your mac and just pretend you are an already existing client - i've also found on some crap APs that pretending to be the broadcast address works well too.
Sky is flawed in that you already have to have a set-top box and full package.
what i want is to select and pay for only the channels i want to watch - sorry i don't need 100-200+ different channels - i watched a total of 3 when i had cable.. one was broadcast the other two was cable only.. when they started selling their shows on Amazon/iTunes i cut cable and went to Broadcast + Netflix and haven't looked back once.
but then all the users are limted to the same old same old.. this program starts at this time and ends at that time -- where it is very very very obvious that people want to watch something at the time they want to watch it - and no DVR is a stop gap not a solution.
you want to limit bandwidth - allow all the set top boxes to be buffers/nodes and do a massive bit-torrent style network..
The average energy payback time for silicon is 1-3 years. For thin film, it's a couple months.
Try again.
not by the time it reaches joe sixpack hobbyist.. i would have done a conversion years ago if i could.. sadly my house is situated in about the worst way for it.
If i ever build my retirement house it will be self sufficient. a mix of solar and water power
I'm not familiar with the laws in NZ but it's quite possible that Melissa Lee can't be charged with anything, if her friend simply gave her the collection on CD, and she hasn't ripped the songs to her computer or otherwise copied the data. She's throwing her friend under the bus, of course, but that's hardly new for politicians.
Well if it is on a CD - then it is stored in a digital format - to listen to it would be an analog format - for her to listen to it requires her to play it - and the playback device is going to interpret a analog signal from the digital - and do do that it must "copy" the data from the disk to an internal memory/buffer to process it - the size of this memory/buffer will very based on implementation - but rest assured that to listen to the CD through it will have to copy the whole thing each and every time.
So saying she likes it can imply that she has listened to it - meaning she has copied it, she is guilty.
Last June the wife and i where flying to NY - they made us take our baby's diaper off - their excuse is it didn't look right (we use cloth diapers not disposable)
they also made us put the stroller through the x-ray.. which was interesting.. i honestly didn't think it was going to fit
you said it tasted "weak and sickly" not "i just don't like it" if the complaint is that it is "weak and sickly" i could recommend some very strong and full flavor back teas.. if it is "i don't like it" you have a bias and therefor it's not worth bothering with.
then you have some crappy tea - most coffee people make anyways is so over roasted that it is burnt before it is even brewed.
I made the switch from Coffee to Tea a couple years ago - some days i make coffee (like to day actually) but most i now make Tea - it sits so much better.
the Flip battery pack can be pulled out and you can either use 2 AA's or 3 AAA's depending on the model. that was one of the selling points for me.
The main selling point for me as i was getting it for my wife - is that the flip is extremely simple to use - and has very good optics even in low light - and requires no user intervention to get a good video. All she does is hit the power button and the big red button - hell my 1 year can use it.
One easy way that we use (small company here) is that iTunes will sync trusted CA's from the paired computer to the phone so any office laptop has our CA on it and iTunes will sync it to the phone which then sees it..
As for removing it when they leave - the phone is ours.. we keep it and wipe them.
Lets see Gas: 40 miles round trip / 19mpg = 2.1 Gallons a Day * 3.50$ a gallon = $7.35 a day to drive in and back for 5 days a week * 50 weeks a year = $1837.50 Cost+ Maintenance (i use 25 cents a mile as my norm for TCO): ((40*5*50)*.25) = $2500.00
so $4337.50 for the car.. then factor in time.. i see it working out - but in reality it shouldn't be a pay cut to telecommute - especially for jobs that are 24h on call.. if i'm full time telecommute they don't have to provide a work space in the office for me.. that alone is a large savings to them.
you are correct but the point still stands - they need to recoup their cost - i'm sure if they thought it was good enough for mass consumption that they would have ventured down that route.
no - the software costs millions to manufacture.. and costs just pennies to duplicate.
the making it up in volume works but it depends on the market they are aiming for.. while i bet this does it's job and allows a stroke victim to use a computer i bet it isn't of the quality most people would want for gaming.. there for they stick to their market to make back their money.
its a workable idea to have a requirement of having more than one CA recognize it - BUT in the end it has to be binary in nature to the user - when you start bringing a "degree of trust" to the end user - you are having to rely on the judgement of the end user which or all cases is basically random. If it is good/bad then the odds tip that people will choose good - but if you give them more options it will not help them.

on that note - i should get a discount for using it vs eating up an employee.

you know...
Since when have legitimate businesses allowed transactions with anonymous people?
well in meat space just about every place you use cash.
towards the end there is an example of it tracking a car on the freeway - i think that might fit the bill

remember that there was also active jamming going on..
But it's not beyond the wit of man to have a standby pump.
Or 26 of them - and yes i know a place where this happened.. and no they only needed 2 pumps operational to carry the load .
tea tastes weak and sickly, and coffee is tasty.

yeap - as i shut down my laptop to take with me for a run out of town for this very reason - but sadly i don't get to telecommute.

i assure you it's the software thats the expensive part..
