Therefore, if they have a 20-Gbps link to your house, but they offer 7-Mbps of open bandwidth, with 13-Mpbs reserved for their own downloadable movies, they can only advertise 7-Mpbs service.
Makes sense to me... Can anybody poke any logical holes in this (other than "Cable sucks, let's screw them")?
For one thing, 7 Mbps + 13 Mbps is not 20 Gbps
Failed to mention 19+ Gbps for neighbor-net
Wait, I thought that we stayed still and the mountains moved through US!?!? I need to take that quantum mechanics course...
This just makes me that much more afraid of the sandwich I found in my hotel room fridge this morning. I've been here two days and I didn't put it there.
I dunno, lots of rotting stuff can make ammonia... of course, if the cleaning chemicals used happened to be ammonia and bleach, the person shouldn't be allowed to clean ever again. Ammonia and bleach will combine to give off chlorine gas, which will make a person expel their breakfast, amongst other problems.
Although I don't disagree with the idea that a large driving force behind Windows is the gaming market, there is also a sore lacking for Open Source adoption in the business world too. We even see this in MS's adoption of ODF 1.1 http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/04/1246249 While technically "compliant" it functionally is not.
Open Office isn't 100% compatible (as in exact conversion) with MS Office. It's darn close, but not exact.
As a network engineer, I have yet to find a solid compatible replacement for Visio as well. My customers don't want a PDF or non-visio compatible document, they want something that will open in Visio every time.
The defacto standards are just too well rooted still and will be until there is full interoperability between these apps.
When that changes, I think we'll start to see a stronger shift to Open Source apps and maybe even Linux.
It's one more programmer than most companies dedicate to the two operating systems. I think it's great that they are doing it, even if it isn't a whole team working on it.
Now if only we could get other game developers to do the same (Valve? Blizzard? etc etc etc) It'd be nice to see Tux and an Apple chilling out next to the Windows logo on these games. In theory, it should open up the game's market share. If nothing else, give them a better reputation amongst gamers.
Not only does it run in half duplex, but it can ONLY run in half duplex. No two hosts can transmit at once on the same frequency. EVER. The only way potentially get around this would be to use multiple non-overlapping frequencies, one for transmit and one for receive for each host. When I say the same frequency, it doesn't matter if you are using frequency hopping (shell game), you can't be using the same frequency as someone else transmitting at the same time.
Wireless is a technology of convenience, not a replacement for wired networks.
And yes, I am a Ham.
Copy and Paste would be useful.
Tethering would be cool too
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
