There is no point in discussing relative service levels, customer service, blah blah blah. None of that is the significant issue at stake.
First, Net Neutrality. A 'TimeCast' conglomerate will wield immense power and be able to enforce selective access and performance. If Netflix is your favorite video provider, you will be left at the mercy of a much larger and much more motivated ISP. This is an opportunity for the FCC to join Justice and require neutrality of access and routing as a condition. Let the court fights begin... Here, consumers have little hope that the government will act in their best interest, or even be allowed to.
Channel selection will become more interesting as this is an entity that could challenge content providers such as Disney and ESPN, and we'll see the battle between cable systems too big to ignore and content too valuable to refuse. I doubt consumers will benefit from this in any way.
Pricing will go up, count on it. Municipalities will take advantage of that and hang increased fees on these price changes, and consumers will pay more. Period.
There is nothing good about this. And there need not be, since corporations are not motivated to act in the best interest of their customers, merely to earn profits. that should, in a perfect world, result in serving customers, but it need not, and we are not in a perfect market or world. Oligopolies like this will not operate int eh customer's best interest.
Which is the current state of our government, not serving its citizens well at all. And that is why limited and constrained government is essential, and abdicating power to a central federal government is a bad idea. Corporations need also to be restrained. Same problem.
Ignoring Democrat history if registering the dead, voting early and often, and helping their elderly etc fill out their absentee ballots, the Left does seem to lag the right in dirty tricks. But you do have to ignore their history.
We could go on and on. This shouldn't be a tit-for-tat exchange if both parties are unacceptably guilty of such.
Rote learning of multiplication tables is still useful for me on a daily basis. Your anecdotal rejection of the concept is no more or less helpful than mine.
Of course, rote learning may take time away from other learning, such as sexuality training or verticedge graphs, both required of fifth graders in a public school near me.
That probably had more to do with where you are shopping than you know. Try shopping at a 'supermarket' in a lower income area. See how your choices change from fresh produce and quality protein to frozen everything and variations of junk food.

Yes, Slashdot's mobile site sucis. On my Android phone, having to log in to reply forces me to drag the screen up to get the Ligon button above the keyboard, and there is no keyboard drop. In the Feedly browser, lift too far and got close the page and lose the reply. Pus.
Yes, is the interaction between Feedly and/., and I'm not expecting it to be addressed, because the fingerpointing will start in 3, 2,...
I've both installed and maintained these systems, and did some schlepping of tapes for clients. Fortunately, I don't any more, too many times I found the vault open since some co-workers were inconvenienced to actually pull the handle and dial in the combination. But yes, I always assumed the external sites were elsewhere and secured, but shooting the first copy didn't preclude online redundancy nor even different media for archiving.
All of which is different than the business need for continuous operation, DR, etc.
Appreciate the clarification. Where I work now I'm far away from that, and we cannot think of anything but 24x7x365 ops, so restore is a euphemism for failure.
The bottom line in managing long-term archiving (5+ years) is that you need to both refresh and verify you storage, at several different levels.
1. Shoot the initial copy. 2. Copy this asap. "Copy1" 3. Stash both in disparate locations. 4. Go back to the 'original' on a 6-9 month schedule and verify it. 5. Go back to the 'copy1' on a schedule and verify it on a different schedule. 6. Go back to the 'original' on a different 9-12 month schedule and refresh(copy) it, stored to the other site. 7. Go back to the 'copy1' on a different schedule and refresh (copy) it, stored to the other site. 8. Repeat 4&5 on a year schedule. Do you need to re-write the data in 'current' formats and retain both original and new? Are you moving to new media? 9. Repeat 6&7 on a year schedule. Ditto the rest of step 8. 10. We should be at year 2 or 2.5. Repeat steps 1-9 once for a 6+/- year retention, again for 10+ year retention.
Are you changing data formats, and is it possible to ensure integrity by copy8ing and archiving in new formats? As you change media, do you need to retain old media systems, or will you move to the new media? At what point is the data no longer valid, determined by the owners? Are the 'owners' the only stakeholders? If not, expand the set.
In all of this, you have a dedicated media management system including media drives, copy/verify capabilities, and stand-in for restoration.
This is all very interesting to me. Medical records in particular seem to be assumed to have a lifetime retention, but other than the date and nature of the event, how important are the details of your appendectomy performed at age 5 when you are 60? Is that benign tumor removed at age 12 important at age 45? How much LHC data collected in 2013 will be useful in 2023? Different criteria. Different processes.

For some US universities, it is "pay for some of it with taxes". Such as state or land grant institutions.

Recent past v long ago. Even the news is the past.
I wasn't referring to Chicago or the past.

Lesson learned; don't expect better if you live in Canada.
What I think is particularly interesting is that people think this is the behavior of just one political party.
If you put your name on it, you would have honor.
Being an AC, you're not very proud I think.
You, as an example.
"if the budget were insaneâ
A budget that stopped real growth of the Federal Government would be branded 'insane' by the Left.
A budget that fully funded the Federal Government from current reciepts would be branded 'insane' by the Right.
Currently our Federal Government funding is insane. Both parties to blame.
It started before that.
So can we infer that'scientists' who accept that global warming is man-made are also largely not experts?
ASUS G50VTs suffer from this, more often the more you game on them. Mine does not cause I don't game on it.
Oven baking seems to repair the GPU, but ASUS doesn't discuss warranty, not on these.
If they will publish you.
If I see a result often enough, then I'll memorize it *naturally*, anyway."
Seems like rote learning to me.
Does a player need to know much about game physics to bunny hop their way through BF4?
Not many players care. They just want high score.
Later in life they week not much care why they are being paid minimum wage, just complain it isn't enough.

No, they can use dedicated links to their processors. Even MPLS is better than SSL.
Current interest rates don't seem to back that proposition
Their purposes are to: (repeat after me)
- Provide services
- For a profit
Any questions?
