The biggest reason why I-1098 didn't pass has little to do with Ballmer. I believe the biggest reason was that in only two years the law makers could modify the tax to include all Washington tax payers, not just the rich. There is quite a large distrust of the spending habits of the progressive law makers here so 60% plus of voters decided not to risk it.
They are using 4 pairs to achieve that 825 Mbps speed.
Note that 1000BASE-T also uses 4 pairs to achieve 1000Mbit over a shorter 100 meters. I'm curious what maximum range 1000BASE-T will actually work at (100m is guaranteed), and if it were to work at 400m, what the bandwidth would be.
Yes they're using 4 pairs but it's not the same thing. You're forgetting that they are working with cat 3 copper cabling not cat 5 or 6.
That assumes that everyone is equally rational, which we know is not the case. It would only take one psychopath to end the world and laugh as everything around him burned to the ground.
Their patents are probably nothing more than 'we patented the specifications of cartridges that work with our printers so other companies can't sell cheap 3rd party cartridges' patents.
Maybe it is you who does not know what he is talking about.
A barefaced (or bald-faced) lie is one that is obviously a lie to those hearing it. The phrase comes from 17th-century British usage referring to those without facial hair as being seen as particularly forthright and outwardly honest, and therefore more likely to get away with telling a significant lie. A variation that has been in use almost as long is bold-faced lie, referring to a lie told with a straight and confident face (hence "bold-faced"), usually with the corresponding tone of voice and emphatic body language of one confidently speaking the truth.
cited from wikipedia "lie" . There are several more site that discuss this if you do a simple Google of bald-faced.
I suspect they placed the antenna there to minimize the amount of RF energy exposure to the brain but now you'll have to be careful about how you hold it.
If you could get it to track without the necklace I think there are a whole ton of funny pranks you could pull with this.
The first one that comes to mind would be to mess with the head of a drunken one night stand. Set the video loop to Paris and then watch their face when they walk in... What, you don't remember flying to Paris with me last night? Man, you were drunker than I thought.
I often tell people at work I'll be adding a squirrel noise requirement to the password policy next month. I always expect them to laugh but they usually just have a horrified look on their face that reads something like 'you can do that?'. I then have to clam them down and tell them I'm only kidding.
All the freedom of choice and options that we the geeks find fun interesting only confuse the average user and cripple the usability for them. That is why devices like this only fill a niche market and the iPad/iPhone/iTouch make millions. I'm not trying to start a holy war just contrast the difference and why one is currently more successful than the other.

Perhaps you've hear of the infamous Swiss bank account?

If my enjoyment of my surroundings enhances my enjoyment of food, why do I find the idea of eating lunch in a strip bar so offputting?
Maybe you need to find a less seedy strip bar?
And I revenge unfriended you because I like /. better.
And yet some people still find Snookie attractive. I know, it boggles my mind too.
...gets the worm and then tweets about it. ;-)
I don't think PETA will be happy about people attaching backpack straps and a hip belt to sharks.

People risk their life for less of a potential reward every day. Think of the average solider or firefighter.
We'll do but we'll call it "Freedom Fusion".
Why not just kill him. It's vastly cheaper. Hasn't stopped the govt in the past - why stop now?
Kill him now and you make him a martyr. Then everyone would be even more interested in what he wrote.

He should have paid a graphic designer to do it for him. I'm sure he could have found one that accepts credit card payment.

I think it's time to invest in a clothing company that sells burkas.

it's FR05TY. learn to troll.
Maybe that was part of his trolling. Either way you bit hook line and sinker. Next time don't reply and let the mods mop him up. ;-)
I was thinking "Hey guys Global Thermal Nuclear War later this afternoon... just thought you should know."
Yaaarrr!!!!... now walk the plank.
I know that it says "government by the people". So with that cowboy pistol, you're defending yourself from everyone else?
Very good.
Huh? I was talking about the Revolutionary War. What are you talking about?
Spoken as if marketing, or the lack of it has nothing to do with it...
So your assertion is that if Apple went and marketed one of these clones and the iPad that the clone would do better?
