Simple. This is data collected about you without your consent or knowledge. Further, you have practically no control over their data collection.
If you use your discount card, then get scammed because of the data, you'll respond by changing your purchasing habits. There's the incentive for the grocery to protect you: you'll go somewhere else. And you'll think about it because you have to swipe the card to give them data.
If the only power company in the area requires all homes have smart meters, and then you get scammed, what do they care? You can go off-grid... Yeah, they don't care.
And the majority of the homes in the area won't have any clue that their meter is collecting all this data.
This is one of those items that - although wrong in many of its details - isn't exactly false in an overall sense and is perhaps more fairly labeled as "True, but for trivial and unremarkable reasons."
In other words, mostly true, but some false claims. Read the Snopes article. It's a good read.
Of course slashdot ate the last part of that because I didn't check the preview carefully... while read server; do ssh $server 'apt-get upgrade' || break; done < server-list.txt
That will query the list of XenApp servers, extract the server names into an array, and invoke "gpupdate" in parallel across all of them using a temporary secure shell session.
There might be equivalent capabilities on Linux, but nothing on the Windows platform comes close to what you can do with PowerShell.
Just for comparison, this is the same command in linux, and only very badly-built systems don't have it installed by default: while read server; do ssh $server 'apt-get upgrade' || break; done
This. Although the NSA can also brute-force any 128-bit key in a few months, why would they need to? (Almost) nobody uses more than 12 characters for their password.
So, let me get this straight. You are buying from Sunelec for this reason:
The best case scenario is you DIY, half for the fun of tinkering with it. If you DIY, and get the panels from sunelec.com (the cheapest place I have found so far)
And then you are not interested in a lower price for this reason:
Are you serious? Sunelec is a credible retailer that sells a working, packaged product.
Nice. You're just astroturfing. Oh, and by the way, sunelec's prices are around $10/W, which is ridiculously high.
There are already multiple competing Single Sign-On systems -- hardware-based, device-based, and cloud-based. This is only different because it is government run.
Yes, I have read the details on this program. Have you?
When you say, "its [sic] not going to be government run," were you saying that the governance, financing, requirements, or management will be commanded by the private sector?
This is news to me too. In the BBC article, it says gravitational quantum states were only measured in 2002, in the parent experiment (the one where they didn't use piezo resonators -- just parallel plates).
Cool! Falsifiable experiments testing unified theories, like string theory!
RTP over UDP or TCP can be blocked simply by blocking the ports. Especially for cell phones and other mobile devices, assume port 80 is open -- and everything else is blocked. Maybe port 443. ISPs are only slowly investing in enough DPI hardware to block HTTP streaming, so look to port 443.
Seeking, fast forward, and rewind (a.k.a. trick play) will fall over when using an incompatible HLS server/client combination, but the upside of it all is that if you want, you can host a prerecorded HLS stream on any plain vanilla HTTP server. Bingo -- "Easier to optimize" should be read as "nothing can compete with the simplicity of an HTTP server."
Those same firewalls that block everything? They often have a transparent proxy on port 80. So you don't write a new protocol, you find a way to make HTTP work. By work, I mean "it just works." Everywhere.
I do think ISPs are a single point of failure, but really -- people have been finding ways to get access the internet for a long time now. You'd probably do the same: find a Starbucks, set up a wireless antenna, yes, even hook up to your neighbor.
There are degrees between current ISPs and the entire internet becomes completely distributed and fully redundant. But a fully distributed setup would work too -- you can't kill an idea, and the internet is a really, really good idea.
Please mod parent up. Although I haven't tried the Motorola Atrix 4G (which seems to have a Tegra 2 in it), this is where multi-core smartphones are right now.
Sure, in the not too distant future the wheel of reincarnation will make all those specialized cores transform into identical general-purpose cores. That's inevitable. But this chip helps improve battery life AND speed, right now.
Hate to break it to you, but the entire congress, all parties, are in on the power grab and race to the bottom.
I don't think Congress should have the power to play favorites with the internet at all. To paraphrase: the internet sees meddling as damage and routes around it.
I'm just curious, since I don't have the time to do a price check, does anyone have newer experience than a comparison I did last September?
Here are the highest end systems from newegg.com: NOTE: This needs to be updated!
This is just what it would take to boot the board. They have identical on-board video chips which are great for KVM-over-IP but you may want a different graphics card, and then there's RAID, an optical drive, etc.
AMD
ASUS KGPE-D16 dual socket G34 motherboard $439.99
(There's something fishy going on with Tyan's boards. I read some pretty bad reviews on newegg a month ago but now they have all disappeared)
Opteron 6174 2.2GHz 115W 12-Core 2 * $1299
(Personally I would have gotten the Opteron 6128 2.0GHz 115W 8-Core: $280.99)
Athena Power CA-SWH02B65 case+PSU $169.99
(Personally I would get a different case and an Anteq TPQ-1200 1200W PSU for $249.99)
Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333 ECC RDIMM 2 * $115.99
(Chosen to be an exact match with the Intel comparison)
Dynatron A6 77mm heatsink/fan $34.99
Skip the DVD and hard drive(s) since that should not affect the comparison. Total price: $3,439.96
Intel
ASUS Z8NA-D6C Dual LGA 1366 motherboard $249.99
(Put a fan over the intel 5500 northbridge. It doesn't come with one. It needs it. Also note you can only use up to triple-channel DDR3. The AMD setup above goes to quad-channel DDR3.)
(Note the quad 1207(F) motherboards wouldn't be an apples-to-apples comparison. A quad-6-core Intel setup will be faster than a dual-12-core AMD setup for most things, but so much more expensive the cost is rarely justified for the minor improvement in performance.)
Westmere 3.33GHz 6-core 130W 2 * $1723.15
Athena Power CA-SWH02B65 case+PSU $169.99
Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333 ECC RDIMM 2 * $115.99
(Chosen to be an exact match with the AMD comparison)
Intel BXSTS100C heatsink/fan $29.99. Be warned: most of the reviewers don't like this one because it's loud, but it's the only one I could find rated at 130W TDP.

Try googling for "3x6 DIY solar cells"
Obviously we're talking past each other about an unimplemented proposal -- it's all vapor. I can't waste more time replying on this thread.
I was struck, struck by recognition.
But not here, long ago.
I guess we've reached an impasse. I want to defend the world's efforts, and I'm willing to stand up to what you said:
Your solution is technically sound but the user experience is horrible.
As a result, RTSP will lose to HTTP Live Streaming.
I disagree with your statement, "the private sector will ... manage the entire system..."
The private sector will do everything else you said, including compete, but they will not manage it. Start here, then here, but this site is a total waste of your time.
There are already multiple competing Single Sign-On systems -- hardware-based, device-based, and cloud-based. This is only different because it is government run.
If you're ok with $529 plus $25 a month, you can afford to drive instead of riding the bus.
If you're ok with $529 plus $50 a month, you can afford to drive AND park almost anywhere (Manhattan excluded).
Yes, I have read the details on this program. Have you?
When you say, "its [sic] not going to be government run," were you saying that the governance, financing, requirements, or management will be commanded by the private sector?
Maybe you'd like to include this:
I appreciate your use of paradox, and I'm fine with your "thing beyond everything," -- but...
What experience have you had with God that gives you a crutch to stand on while you insult religion?
Seriously, do you know this stuff or are you just using your comments as your crutch, your pedestal from which to mock the rest of us?

You've hit it on the head.

Look at the revenue and growth charts. IBM is an open source company, with a lot of old baggage still hanging around.
I do think ISPs are a single point of failure, but really -- people have been finding ways to get access the internet for a long time now. You'd probably do the same: find a Starbucks, set up a wireless antenna, yes, even hook up to your neighbor.

Ok, try me.
Either you can describe, here, what you believe -- I'll give you the whole English language for your use -- or your submission is your crutch.
Please mod parent up. Although I haven't tried the Motorola Atrix 4G (which seems to have a Tegra 2 in it), this is where multi-core smartphones are right now.

Why do you say that?
What experience have you had with God that gives you a crutch to stand on while you insult religion?
Considering that the vast majority of the world is religious, I'm going to dismiss your submission as biased.
The PS3 is linux based as well.
The fact that Microsoft is still maintaining their own embedded OS for the XBox is an indication of how out of touch they are.
