Is there a specific rate at which warmup/cooldown needs to take place to prevent material failure? Why not use a heat pump or some sort of heat exchanger to warm up the section faster?
T-Mobile doesn't control the Blackberry apps I install, I very much doubt they'll control the apps I'd put on my Andrioid-based phone. For examples of what they *won't* do, see: Apple's Iron Fist of App Control
I guess it depends on your perspective. With T-Mobile and their Hotspot@Home service, I pay $9/month and get unlimited calls whenever I can tunnel a call over my home/office/wherever access point. I don't mind paying for seamlessness.
Example: I have a high-level friend who works at an unnamed company, where they provide bandwidth for aircraft. Due to FAA mandate, you can't talk in the air, cellphone or otherwise. We were drinking a beer one night and was curious how to stop people from encrypting the conversation, getting around packet inspection. I said, "Simple. Introduce enough latency to destroy call quality while still making VPN usable."
The point is, most cell towers have a very small backhaul, enough for 20-22 voice calls, but nowhere near enough for data. While you may be of the mind as a consumer that what you pay entitles you to take as much as you can, I see myself as a partner with a vendor or service provider. I'm paying a fair price for appropriate service. If I start abusing it, it's going to go the way of the dodo. So feel free to continue what you're doing. It isn't going to last forever. Like you said "They'll adapt". Think it's going to be to your benefit?
*sigh* Perhaps, as a small business owner, I'm tired of people wanting the world for $20/month. I pay $110/month for my service, get 1500 anytime minutes, unlimited nights/weekends, unlimited T-Mobile to T-Mobile, 1000 texts, Blackberry data service, and insurance on the Blackberry with a small deductible. I mean, is your time really worth that little that it's better to hassle with VoIP over data on a phone rather than pay a couple bucks more a month for decent service? FYI, I don't have a contract with T-Mobile, and would gladly pay more for what I'm getting.
If I wanted to get raped by a cellular company, I'd use AT&T shitty 3G network or Verizon with their "Unlimited" 5GB/month data plan. If I want decent customer service, I go with T-Mobile. I could care less if they don't have bleeding edge mobile data. I'm not some twit that needs to have 1Mb data rates wirelessly, that needs to complain constantly about minutes used, etc.
I mean, are there really that many cheap people out there who need to use their data plan with VoIP of Skype?
I'm not defending what they do, I'm simply saying that most cellular networks are not engineered for what you're trying to use it for. Voice/data is handled at a lower layer for a reason.
I'd get over it dude. Even if you could put a VoIP app on your phone, the latency is horrible. I have both a T-Mobile data card and a Blackberry I can tether, and using EDGE, I get around 1000-1300ms latency. Even with 3G, my understanding is that latency is over 100-200ms, and VoIP ain't workin' with that.
My wife an I watch a different Netflix Watch It Now movie every night. We've already got AT&T coming out to install U-verse (new subdivision; fiber to the house). AT&T gave me something in writing says there is absolutely, positively no cap. It's cheaper than Comcast to boot.
The energy to make the products made from plants comes from the sun. If I build thousands upon thousands of homes for the poor in Mumbai from bamboo, the energy comes from the sun and the CO2 is trapped in the raw materials of the home. Unless you burn your home down, the CO2 is trapped there for the life of the home.
But when you burn the algae, the CO2 is released again. Once a solar panel is made, it produces power for upwards of 25-30 years (minimum) without any further CO2 being put in the atmosphere.
I'd like to also point out that Nanosolar's new method of printing solar panels almost has the price down to $1/Watt. Within the next 1-2 years, solar is going to be *dirt* cheap.
Former ORNL researchers J. P. McBride, R. E. Moore, J. P. Witherspoon, and R. E. Blanco made this point in their article "Radiological Impact of Airborne Effluents of Coal and Nuclear Plants" in the December 8, 1978, issue of Science magazine. They concluded that Americans living near coal-fired power plants are exposed to higher radiation doses than those living near nuclear power plants that meet government regulations. This ironic situation remains true today and is addressed in this article.
Would it not make sense than to find a plant that grows fast and can be used to build tons of housing in the third world (bamboo comes to mind, although I'm not aware of how much wood is created per pound of CO2 respirated)? Fixing social needs and sequestering carbon at the same time! Woohoo.
I would assume it depends on what you tend to do with your reserves. When I opened the account, based on the bank we wanted to use and our client base in Western Europe, I went with the Euro, although your needs may differ.
I've been pitching more IT services to countries in the EU as well as the UK. As a small business, the Dollar I'm not a fan of, and it helps that we're able to be paid in Euros (thanks HSBC for our biz banking account denominated in Euros). Things are gonna get much worse before they get better.
If you're able, I highly recommend having Euro reserves instead of Dollar reserves.
I would think you'd get a vacuum sucking air up the chimney, as 20+ story buildings would have their exhaust exit at almost 200 ft above ground. Winds up there can move pretty quickly, causing the pressure at the chimney exit to be lower, creating suction, no?
But shouldn't you still tell the truth and just put down what you studied instead of trying to get some kind of second-hand recognition.
What's the difference between "Graduated from Stanford" and "Studied at Stanford using freely available materials"? An interview is there to determine if you know what you're talking about, not a degree. Any moron can skate through 4 years of school and get a degree. It takes an intelligent person to read the material, understand it, and be able to demonstrate working knowledge of it during an interview with an employer.
Flywheels are used extensively on the NYC subway system to capture power from braking trains and accelerate the trains back up when leaving the stations (as you mentioned). Just wanted to point out the example.
I would argue that "risky" sexual behavior between consulting adults is much safer than a duel. In the duel, *someone's* gonna die. It's just a matter of which person.

Seriously though, excellent counter-argument =)

"There is currently no Skype compatibility" is a far cry from "You can't install Skype"
I mean, are there really that many cheap people out there who need to use their data plan with VoIP of Skype?
I'm not defending what they do, I'm simply saying that most cellular networks are not engineered for what you're trying to use it for. Voice/data is handled at a lower layer for a reason.
Basic enough? And it's only $40. You could go more basic with a Tracphone (unlock it, and it'll work on any GSM network).

Because you're choking the TOR network by using it for bittorrent.
