The suburbs and rural areas are fine the way they are. It's the cities where you don't have a 200 square ft contiguous block of road in the entire city that doesn't have a pollution belching machine idling on top of it. Bringing a bus or tram within walking distance of every block is feasible in the cities, and that's where we have problems with pollution.
Diesel has nothing to do with it; diesel is up to 40% more efficient by the gallon than regular gasoline (although it produces ~10-15% more greenhouse gasses). The reason you see dump trucks and buses belching black smoke is because they're so ridiculously heavy and they have to burn a lot of fuel to get going. Anyway, my city uses natural gas or something to fuel the buses. Also I agree with you that obviously mass transit is not an option in rural areas but pollution isn't bad in rural areas; we really only need mass transit in urban areas, and we need it adopted by everyone.
I think he's saying that the value of a used computer plummets with respect to its slowly-dropping price, while the value of the new computer skyrockets with respect to its also slowly-dropping price.
But if your carrier frequency is 1GHz the "shape of the frequency graph" can go both above and below the center point, and if your carrier frequency is 1Hz you can't realistically go very far below..
With audio it was like "what you don't support mp3 all my stuff is in mp3! screw you!" With video it's like "durr video files?" and big business can use the best option without alienating users.
Radio is the transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light.
From visible light:
A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 380 to 750 nm.[1] In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 790â"400 terahertz.
I have no idea what I'm talking about here but what is "7GHz of spectrum" supposed to mean? Isn't 7GHz a particular frequency on the spectrum? It sounds like they see a free space between, say, 1GHz and 8GHz and call that 7GHz of spectrum as if you sell spectrum by the GHz.. but can't you transmit more information in the 7-14 GHz range than in the 0-7GHz range? Can someone who knows what they're talking about confirm this? It seems to make sense; you can transmit more information on a 1KHz carrier than on a 1Hz carrier, right?
However, Garriott's complaint claims that Chung had meanwhile internally "re-characterized" his termination as "voluntary." The problem is that the alleged re-characterization of the dismissal would have a significant impact on Garriott's stock options.
Ubuntu does not break even. Canonical is still burning through Shuttleworth's money, although it's starting to fight its way against its downward spiral and could become profitable in the future. It still has plenty of assets though.
This isn't personal. Anyway, the lawyers and journalists spewing SCO propoganda got paid their millions and aren't harmed at all by liquidation. Unless you're a millionaire you hardly have grounds to HA HA.
Not when the government owns the housing. Even in America the construction companies providing the housing get paid immediately; it's the private lenders who pay the bills that are screwed by defaults.
There's nothing inherently wrong with guaranteeing housing for (nearly) all - it works well in China. The problem is when you can't pay for it. If you spend billions of dollars on housing your citizens and then balance your budget by counting on them paying you back then you're going to face a disaster. Get the money elsewhere; counting on someone with terrible credit to balance your deficit is just stupid.

There's no way a new Ford Automobile plus $800-$1000/yr insurance plus $2.20/gallon gasoline is cheaper than buying walking shoes.

It's sans-serif. And my window decorations are an xfwm skin.
I'm just saying it's a conflict of interest for a news site to be funded by the companies it's reporting on.

What about decoders?
Also how can you cap radio at 400MHz? What do you call 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz cordless phones?
From visible light:
You mean like... an antenna? :)

Energy levels? Better go crawl under a rock to protect yourself from 600THz blue light.
Yeah, in miles per gallon.
Anything below 400 terahertz is a radio wave. Unless your wireless works on x-rays or gamma rays, channels anywhere are transmitted via radio waves.
24 million dollars?
Yeah but with everything being written in java/.net/python/php these days, not supporting unicode is unusual and unexpectedd.
There's nothing "archaic" about it.. this is the future.
