If it wouldn't have been for a fourth of july all those years ago, Sarah Palin would be in your elections.

Ah a challenge, for this we need the average word length in a standard English text, a = 5.1 character/word;
The speed record in morse code copying, b = 75.2 words/minute ~= 1.2533 words/second;
Average weighted character morse code length (weigthed by relative frequency of the character): c = 2.54167 bits/character

Which gives a speed of a*b*c ~= 16 bit/s.

56k/Morse ~= 3500

Now the problem is you didn't give any baseline to compare the T3 to but assuming you were talking about the comparisson T3 to 56k.

T3 = 44.736 Mbit/s
56k = 56 kbit/s

T3/56k ~= 800

That's really not that far of actually... Just roughly a factor 4, good guess :P. All of these numbers were pulled of wikipedia (or calculated with wikipedia numbers).

"May God grant him the mercy that I am denying him." Would have been more appropriate.

The answer is simple, the neck didn't just pop into existence nor did the heart of that magnitude.

Clearly as the proto-giraffes got longer necks the optimal heart size increased. Proto-giraffe A with a slightly longer neck and no increased heart strength was slightly better than Proto-giraffe B with no longer neck and no increased heart strength. Proto-giraffe C however, a descendent of A had a slightly increased heart strength and since the longer neck had moved the optimal heart strength size Proto-giraffe C became the most successful, repeat a couple of thousand iterations and you would have giraffes.

A little bit later random slashdotter ArcherB comes by and says: "Hey the giraffe couldn't have first evolved longer necks and later larger hearts because that would be bad so would larger hearts and then longer necks, ipso facto god^h^h^h an intelligent designer did it!".

Because when Alice measures it it sure does cause the other photons superposition to collapse however she cannot collapse it into any state it collapses into a random state.

Think of it like this, both Alice and Bob has a quarter each hidden underneath a cup, the quarter could be in any state (heads or tails). Say that when Alice opens her cup, the quarter was heads this will make the quarter underneath Bobs cup show tails. Still when Bob opens his cup a while later no information has passed, there is simply a quarter showing tails.

Looks like it is working out ok.

It's terabits, one byte is 8 bits thus the confusion.

Well an example to solve that problem would be to use several pieces for that single block and simply cycle through them, using the one with the most recent stamp.

Though I doubt that is how the SSD manufacturers actually solve the problem it is a solution to the problem.

The guy at xiph is retarded, sure in the "random" frame he is showing it's hard to tell a difference but watch the two actual videos side by side at the same time. The superiority of h264 is obvious.

In particular when there is white text overlay on the film, the compression artifacts of theora becomes very visible.

Look at (for example) 21s and 26s into the movie and then try to say with a straight face that theora is better.

That's simply not true.

Due to lax policys some american physical engineering fields may possibly use it sometimes, the entire rest of the world uses metric all the time.

I agree, quotes such as:

don't exactly make you very willing to help a person who is currently begging you for free stuff.

What is grandma doing with an incorrectly installed copy of word to begin with?
