Can an industry that redefines itself every 18 months be regulated by a government organization that takes 60+ months to pass legislation regulating said industry?
> For a truly efficient solution, the best approach is likely to be heat removal at the chip level and recovery for other purposes.
No, truly efficient solution IMHO would be lower powered/more energy efficient devices. We all know that these are most likely Intel systems and in the race to add gates and mHz, efficiency got left by the sidelines.
Not even if it lets us live happier, more fulfilled lives?!!?
Looking at my ionic air purifier and already thinking no freaking way. Why not just hook up your clothes dryer vent to your PC case, pop out the lint screen, toss a few towels in and pray.
All your traffic goes through the ISP, they can look at every packet you send. They can tell what programs you are using, what you use for mail, they can even read your mail if you don't use secure email. They can do this by sitting down and watching your traffic in real time, or most likely, many connections go through a box to do this automatically. If you are using winny or a bit torrent client, it has to send out a request to become part of the P2P network, do searches, send/receive data, etc. Each one of these packets, since all clients speak the same protocol, look the same in some parts and different in others. Well that box sitting at the ISP just looks for matching packets in those special parts. If it sees one or ten or whatever it is configured to, it throttles your connection or cuts off your traffic. Nevermind that you are searching for a linux iso or public domain media. AFAIK file sharing protocols only send around hashes, not the actual name of a file so someone/something looking at your connection would have a hard time figuring out what you are downloading. It can be done, but it takes some time so is typically not done in an automated deep packet inspection box.
So that is how they look to see if you are using filesharing. Since they really can't see what you are sharing, legal or illegal is moot. Hopefully there will be warnings to a customer so false positives can be worked out, and eventually the ISP will see this is not the way to run a network. Get the packets where they need to go, that's all they have to do.
I am seeing this as a defensive or aligning maneuver to Apple TV. Although Apple TV doesn't have a Tivo functionality, it has a YouTube client built right in. You navigate the menus on your TV, Most Popular, Top Rated, Search, then the videos play full screen. After the video plays, you get more links to related videos. Forget cable. This is funny stuff. You don't see kids blowing their hands up with Mentos and Diet Coke bombs on channel 3. I also don't watch videos about murders with no followups or sex scandals or commercials. Couple that with a video podcast catalog and a video rental service... I canceled the cable, kept the internet. I am saving $80 a month, you know how many videos I can rent for that much, or music videos I can BUY?
So my guess is a bunch of Tivo engineers sat down in front of an Apple TV and said, "Damn, I wish we were that smart instead of this good looking, we better get to work!" Forget the promises of ISP and those trying to do this from the core, the cool stuff is happening out on the edge in the set top box, working on the existing infrastructure. This is a sign that Tivo, a non-trivial player in this space, recognizes the upcoming transition and wants to be there.
So we seem to accept that machines are looking at our faces and alerting humans to "suspicious" individuals. Yeah, I guess I'm ok with that. I'll get scared when I get caught, and instead of dragging me into a back room, shining a light in my face and asking me questions, I have to sit down and answer NORA's questions. Once the machine gets to decide if I am guilty, we have lost. Oh wait...
that's some kind of country white trash joke right?
and what is the stink? any beatles fan should have ripped his collection to play on anything... iPod included. the music being on iTunes seems irrelevant, except a fool gets to pay for it again.
Respect can also be granted initially until lost. When you meet someone, do you immediately distrust them? No, but you won't give them your pin number either. There is a grey area. You assume people are good in the world and you trust that person until they give you a reason not to.
Censor an encyclopedia? How about just make the entry read: images of this entity are sacred and therefore not reproduced. Is that somehow not accurate? That works for me and uses up a lot less energy that could be better applied to more important things. I could probably find a very offensive picture of Satan ripping out people's hearts and put it on Wikipedia claiming, "Dude, that's just Satan, he's real evil!" I could also argue that it's a fair representation but it would most likely offend enough people to make it not worth it.
I can't argue with your last statement, except with your choice of the term enforced. Nothing is being forced on me. Nothing is being taken away from me. Tell me I can't see a picture of coffins coming back from Iraq, I'm pissed and I would argue vehemently like most in this thread in favor of show the image. Tell me I can't see some image because it's sacred to a fairly mainstream religion and I will understand. Just consider where you are putting your time and effort and why.
What ever happened to respect? This isn't about freedom of speech. It is about respecting someone else's wishes. I don't believe in any particular God or follow any religion per se, but just as you wish to have freedom of speech, they want freedom of religion. Anyone, Christians, Muslims, Jews...
Consider the Aboriginals of Australia. They have a lot of things they wish to keep private about their ceremonies and don't want pictures taken of certain places. Why isn't anyone making a big stink about that? Why can't I see or take a picture of some corner of Uluru/Ayer's Rock? Because it is something that belongs to someone else, and they wish it kept private. You have things you wish to keep private, just as they do. Can we just respect that?
I call bullshit. You have a line powered cable modem, or a line powered DSL modem? Meaning it gets power from the cable from the provider and not from an AC adapter plugged into the socket that just lost power? Maybe you omitted something, maybe you are trying to sell DSL. Something smells...
Well, I assume by your tone you are talking about the US. Here is my anecdote for the day:
On a recent gameshow (1 vs. 100), first question was who was so and so's step son. Some actress got married and by the marriage the stepson is like 5 yeas younger than the dad. Whatever, I can't remember the question or answer, that is completely useless knowledge (unless you are an agent or something). Out of 100, only 3 people got it wrong. Not bad. 97% of the people in that set knew the answer.
Next Question: What is the third highest rank in the Senate called? Out of 97 people, a third got it wrong.
Now these are people who were screened for a TV gameshow. They should be smarter than the average bear. A third got it wrong.
These and people less intelligent (than gameshow contestants) are the voters. What do you think they care about more? What do you think they spend more time exposing themselves to, politics or OJ and Britney? That is the true hopelessness of our situation. If you know of a way to get 200 million people to stop paying attention to a drug-addicted talentless dead-beat mom or other Hollywood scuttlebutt, I would love to hear it. You want us to run a marathon to stop election fraud when most of the public barely knows how to crawl. Nevermind the 100 yard dash to comprehend why our economy and world reputation are crumbling to dust. IMHO, that is the answer to your question.

Close. When you have the clutch all the way in (riding the clutch) the plates are not making contact at all so there is no wear on the plate surfaces. You are however, putting wear on your clutch bearings, which is still a show stopper for your clutch if it goes out. Just as hard to replace though cheaper than your clutch plates.
When you sit stopped at a hill, and do that stupid thing with the clutch where you engage the engine and move forward, depress the clutch and roll back, engage the clutch and roll forward, etc., that will wear your clutch plates down since they are in partial contact with each other and really just "polishing" each other. Once these wear down, they don't stick to each other and transfer power from the engine to the drive shaft. This results in sluggish starts (engine revs but you don't go faster) and having to work the clutch as you get up to full RPMs.
The worst problem with a worn clutch is the gasses generated often fill the engine compartment and choke the hamsters. This can also result in poor performance, or worse, full hamster replacement.
I didn't know there was such rampant abuse of robots in the workplace. I've heard about these researchers that beat and mistreat their robots. I'm just glad something is being done about it.
No, the next step is riding a unicycle across a moving tightrope while juggling a feather, a bowling ball, an egg, and a helium balloon. That would be impressive.
