The 802.11a standard ran in the 5GHz spectrum. 802.11n also optionally supports it. Recently, 5GHz-only routers have been redesigned to be dual mode 802.11a/n. 5GHz has far more channels for use, but nearly half the range.
Oh, shut up, you're just some Slashdot chat AI I wrote in Perl for my own amusement. Quit hanging on that scripting algorithm and use some better script, you worthless pile of Perl!
I've known MediaFire to be quite useful as a file host. I mean, come on, *every* file host ever (aside from the ones that manually check EVERY upload... yeah right) has had some form or another of piracy. And it seems a lot of the AOSP ROMs I've tried on my phone lately were hosted or mirrored on MediaFire.
Yes, AOSP ROMs. Android OPEN SOURCE Project. I guess I could gather that open source is also piracy.
They're all Slashdot chat AIs I conjured up to amuse me. Sadly, due to a weakness in a few algorithms (thanks, Perl!), some of them reuse parts of scripts.
Of course, these things need a constant inflow of data to stay fresh, so I hired a bunch of Chinese laborers to scour the intarwebs for news articles meeting certain criteria, generate a few talking points, and then feed the resulting data en masse into the AI matrix.
Funny thing is that at the going rate for Chinese labor, I'll soon have to switch to Thailand. It's costing me $6.50 a year for the Chinese to do this. I could afford to keep this thing going for a year for only $5 with Thai labor!
No, it's the difference between a bunch of C/C++/Objective-C calls creating a tree of UI elements in a UI toolkit also written in C/C++/Objective-C, versus a SGML parser having to parse HTML (an application of SGML), or XHTML (an application of XML, which is itself an application of SGML), in order to generate a DOM tree, map it to native UI elements (via the originally mentioned UI toolkit), and also hand-render anything that doesn't map 1:1 to the native toolkit (99% of the DOM content.) If you are lucky, WebKit might use low-level native drawing functions to draw, e.g., Bézier curves, but even that isn't always the case.
I read somewhere that the text rendering on iOS is done using WebKit, with CoreFoundation APIs being high-level wrappers over this. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
While this is true, existing GSM and CDMA radio equipment (base stations and mobile equipment) does not support 700MHz for operation. Utilization of these technologies in these bands would require design and manufacture of new base stations and phones. It'd be better put to use deploying LTE, as LTE has far more spectral efficiency over GSM, CDMA or W-CDMA
An LTE world phone is going to have to support 4 GSM bands (850, 900, 1800, 1900), 5 UMTS (850, 900, AWS 1700/2100, 1900, and straight 2100), and fifteen or so LTE bands (all the previous GSM and UMTS bands combined, plus three separate 700MHz bands, 1500MHz, 1600MHz, 2.5GHz...), and likely would suck juice like there's no tomorrow. And this is assuming you're leaving out support for CDMA2000/cdmaOne, which exists in four bands of it's own - 450MHz (Eastern Europe), 800MHz (worldwide), 1900MHz and AWS (USA/Canada.)
AT&T would not deploy 3G services in these bands. That would involve not only deploying new base stations, but brand new phones, as no UMTS device they have to market to date supports UMTS in the 700MHz bands. As far as I know, no such phone exists at all, period. Their current lineup of phones usually support dual-band or tri-band UMTS, with 850MHz and 1900MHz being common, and the original 2100MHz UMTS band appearing in some "super world phones" (such as the LG CU-515; as their standard "world phones" usually don't support 2100MHz, and thus no service in Japan or South Korea, where 2G GSM is completely absent, nor 3G roaming in most places outside of the Americas, as the usual 3G bands overseas are 2100MHz and 900MHz, although a few 850MHz 3G networks can be spotted here and there, such as in Australia and Israel.)
AT&T's 3G network can potentially put voice and data in the same channel, with good spectral efficiency over standard 3GPP Release 99/Release 4 UMTS W-CDMA CS voice by deploying CSoHS, AKA Circuit-Switched Voice Service over High Speed Packet Access (CS voice packets are placed on top of the layer 2 MAC protocol, and not IP, thus not a VoIP implementation), introduced in 3GPP Releases 7 and 8.
If you're on a PC, I'd recommend downloading and installing the latest Opera release if you don't mind waiting on the download. And yes, 1800MHz is 2G GSM (the DCS - Digital Cellular Service band). Opera has a feature called "Opera Turbo", which is proprietary (!) compression technology that'll help greatly on dial-up and GPRS (which, as you stated, is unavailable on your GSM carrier) networks.
P.S. to others reading the thread, Yes, I talk about Opera a lot, but I use Google Chrome as my daily driver on every PC. Just that Opera Turbo helps on slow connections, in a similar capacity as proprietary ISP dial-up compression, except it's ISP-neutral instead of browser-neutral.
As long as they don't do some stupid shit like setting the extra support files to have a cache expiry date to sometime in the past, thus negating the caching altogether.
Standard Opera Mobile on beefier phones (newer versions, at least) can use Opera Turbo to gain the benefits of Opera Mini while still delivering an experience beyond Opera Mini.
You should see what Google does with anchors in Gmail's interface - it's AJAX and history navigation works pretty much like it should if it wasn't. Please don't hold me to it, but from what I understand, you just have to manage to change the # and everything after it in the URL bar to convince the browser that it's a new page. How else do you think clicking "Back" in a Wikipedia page after clicking in a section link takes you back to the scroll position in the same page you were at before you clicked? But like I said, don't hold me to it entirely, I might be talking out of my arse. Anyone with tips on how it's done: Reply to me and/or parent and point us in the right direction on how that's done. I'd like to use it for a site that I am certain would benefit from AJAX "pages", as it's almost completely static HTML, with everything outside the main body (aside from the navbar to the left) remains static across pages.
Yes, that is oversimplified, and I don't feel like arguing semantics. If a new scientific breakthrough changes our understanding of any of those things, my beliefs change accordingly, if you are wondering.
You wouldn't respect me. I push my views on everyone. I'm a diehard Atheist that believes that there is no meaning to life, that our existence is purely by luck, that we're not much more than squishy and internally watery robots (and that thus we have no "soul", no afterlife, no punishment or reward for our behavior except that given during our lives), that humans aren't sentient until at least birth, that the death of any non-sentient being of any species is not murder (else the very act of eating involves murder, regardless of what you eat, unless you eat sterile sand or metal or something to that effect), that Earth is 4.6 billion years old, that the Universe is 13.7 billion years old and is nothing more than a gigantic computer, that basically all empirical scientific evidence is the truth and that if you believe in anything else, you are a fucking moron and must be informed of these things until you accept them, or otherwise you should be sterilized and/or killed. At least that last bit would end a shitload of wars and arguments and bring peace to the remaining fraction of the human race.
Humans aren't sentient until they are born (maybe even sometime after.) Before that, they are non-sentient (animals.) Making abortion "murder" would make eating a hamburger "accessory to murder." Please pull your head out of your ass, please.

The whole world minus one country of retards I happen to be stuck in.

If you would, please provide sample data files so that I can verify your results myself.

But that still doesn't change the fact that if someone's passing you on the right in England, that they're not an asshole for doing so.

Not always, and not in the way Opera Mini or Opera Turbo for full Opera Mobile and Opera Desktop does it.
Standard Opera Mobile on beefier phones (newer versions, at least) can use Opera Turbo to gain the benefits of Opera Mini while still delivering an experience beyond Opera Mini.

I'm in favor of giving all Christian males (Ron Paul and family included) vasectomies, not doing so has a positive harm on the society at large.
