Very true. But the difference is, if I get the death penalty, I'm dead (let's exclude afterlife possibilites and whatnot). With a corporation, if it's dechartered, you simply send incorporation papers in and reincorporate (possibly in another state or even country).
In the consumer electronics market, yes. But try fooling mother nature with a wad of cash. I don't care how many dollars you plow into a heavy lifter, if the technical merit isn't there, that damn rocket is going to fall right off the launch pad.
I was tired of Comcast and a Series 1 Tivo, so I dragged one of my 24" Dell monitors from my office into the bedroom and hooked a small HP PC up to it, with a wifi card and 360GB hard drive in the PC. The wife and I watch tons of Netflix Watch It Now content on the TV (since they just went to the unlimited model), and even though the quality isn't HD, it's pretty damn close to standard definition TV.
Actually, in the US, corporations have all the same financial rights as people. They can own things, they can make and lose money, etc. The only things you can't do to a corporation is jail it (although you CAN jail their officers if they're within your jurisdiction).
Someone from Netflix (I won't mention names) was at NANOG this past week talking about how they're trying to peer with people. I believe Netflix currently relies a great deal on Limelight Networks, but is going to be building out in the same fashion YouTube was (with regards to peering/caching points).
First, the car has a 220 mile range. It works for myself, as I never travel more then that in a single day (Chicago suburbs). Of course, if you're driving back and forth across NY state all the time, the car isn't suited towards you. But, eventually, it will be. Please keep in mind this is only the first iteration of electric cards from Tesla. With breakthroughs is battery technology, you'll see some great leaps in energy density capabilities.
I bought my Tesla Roadster not because it's practical (I could have bought an older Honda or Toyota four cylinder), but because first-adopters are always required to bring the price down for the general public. My hope is that myself and the others who purchase these first batch of vehicles from Tesla Motors will help drive the cost down for everyone.
Work around: Detect if intrusion switch on chassis has be activated (by pulling the chassis open). If so, forcibly shutdown the system as soon as intrusion switch has been activated. Cover memory with some sort of physical device to prevent quick removal. Should give the RAM enough time to dissipate memory contents.
I'm glad you mentioned Kiva. I'm impressed with their model, and think microloans goes a long way towards helping those in impoverished countries (giving people aid kind of helps, helping them get cheap capital for their business to become sustainable is hugely more successful). I dumped about 2 grand into it because I could afford to, but I hope others will help as well (you can kick in as little as $25).
Thanks for bringing the SBX to my attention. I was aware we had cool toys, but not THIS cool:
The radar is described by Lt. Gen Trey Obering (director of MDA) as being able to track an object the size of a baseball over San Francisco in California from the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, approximately 2900 miles. The radar will guide land-based missiles from Alaska and California, as well as in-theatre assets.
The platform has many small radomes for various communications tasks and a central, large dome that encloses and protects a phased-array, 1,814 tonnes (4,000,000 pound) X band radar antenna. The radar is described as being 384 square meters, with "well over" 30,000 transmit-receive modules, which are arranged in a widely-spaced configuration. This configuration allows it to support the very-long-range target discrimination and tracking that GMD's midcourse segment requires. The array requires over a megawatt of power.
The problem is that you're expecting an outdated technology to stick around to serve your needs. Carriers, on the other hand, have every incentive to use digital instead.
At a datacenter I've consulted at, we did the same thing as open the windows. We ran the cooling system in economy mode. It doesn't run the compressors, it just runs the dehumidifier to lower the relative humidity of the incoming cold air (Chicago suburbs).
I'm not a big nightlife guy, so I spend most of my time either snorkeling/scuba diving around the underwater preserves. Try to get out and hike a bit if you have time. Most of the islands are wildlife preserves, so it's all pristine. If you need more info, you can email me at geoconflux at yahoo dot com.
So Bittorrent clients would have to negotiate with their peers and say "I'm gonna tell my router not to send RST packets, you do the same, and ignore any packets that do show up". Am I wrong?
I'm a huge fan of T-Mobile (have had them since when they were Voicestream and were bought up). My favorite part is that my calls in Puerto Rico are free, as well as from the US Virgin Islands (I visit there frequently for work). I hope you dig them, they've been excellent to me and the little woman.

With regards to latency, it's pretty hard to make light go faster, well, then light. Damn you physics!
Simply speculating. Personally, I can't stand that corporations do a large amount to protect those who do tons of bad.

Coming to a conclusion of someone's guilt is useless if you can't enforce some sort of penalty.

Yeah, you're not the only person who took issue with his hypocritical statement.

Come for a ride in my Tesla Roadster when it get it. They already have people taking delivery =) I just have to wait a year for mine (2009 waitlist).

Note to self: Don't put tjstork in charge of anything larger then a water pistol. With no water in it.

And I don't care how many dividends they give out to shareholders, they'll still have cash to burn to buy market share.
If I was a trillionare, I would buy TWO of them.

Probably not, since they're not obligated to. If you feel strongly about it, donate a couple of cheap digital phones to the cause.
