    (d) Our Programming Changes. Many factors affect the availability, cost and quality of programming and may influence the decision to raise prices and the amount of any increase. These include, among others, programming and other costs, consumer demand, market and shareholder expectations, and changing business conditions. Accordingly, we must reserve the unrestricted right to change, rearrange, add or delete our programming packages, the selections in those packages, our prices, and any other Service we offer, at any time. We will endeavor to notify you of any change that is within our reasonable control and its effective date. In most cases this notice will be about one month in advance. You always have the right to cancel your Service, in whole or in part, if you do not accept the change (see Section 5).

    I would assume most or all other carriers have similar clauses.

  6. And the right way? on Paul Vixie On DNS Changer: We're Dealing With Malware the Wrong Way · · Score: 1

    An entire article about the shutdown of the servers and one "We're doin' shit the wrong way" comment becomes the title without any further explanation. Pardon the car analogy, but that like saying "A Ford Pinto will explode if rear-ended. This is a major safety issue. We're addressing auto safety the wrong way." What the fuck does that mean exactly? Would you care to make a suggestion as to what's wrong with the current approach?

    Having been a small part of this I can say that it's a VERY exciting moment. This is a giant leap toward the future of manned space flight, and everyone involved should be extremely proud of their efforts.

    Right. North Korea announced plans to withdraw from the NPT and started reprocessing plutonium for weapon cores in 1993 because of a statement made by 'W' in 2003. Sure, that makes sense.

    Some quick searching found this.
    From THIS article:

    To demonstrate the concept, Northrop Grumman's test team developed and installed on Global Hawk a new 1.4 terabyte (1500 gigabyte) computer server capable of storing all of the imagery and sensor data recorded during a complete Global Hawk mission.

    With a 42 hour mission time that computes to just under 10MB/s or approximately 80Mb/s bandwidth. That sounds more reasonable.

    Franklin didn't discover electricity either. It is thought that the Greeks(or was it the Minoans?) created the first electro-chemical battery. They just didn't know what the hell to do with it.
