"it works without a network connection"?

Funny then how reservation informatoin about my friend's restaurants aren't available when they lack internet connectivity.

*They* know the difference. Most people, hearing QoS described, wouldn't.

Because several-second delays in video packets will make it unwatchable (or require a lot of buffering) and a drop of a significant percentage of a phone call's UDP will make it unusable, but the effects of neither of those will be noticed by the recipient of that business email.

To me there's a significant difference between "Net Neutrality" and QOS.

Why would you ask for a citation for his statement and not include one for yours?

Manufacturers are often (usually?) conservative with their performance claims. Still, the " will beat the crap out of any combustion engine" is ignorant and easily shown to be false, even when narrowing "combustion engines" to production automobiles.

It's quick but not quicker than "any combustion engine". I don't think it's even in the top ten.

This is insane. Forcing someone against his will to sell his team *because you don't like words he said in private and which were recorded, probably in violation of the law and almost certainly without his knowledge* and begrudging him (and his innocent wife) his profit isn't enough - you want also for the other owners to forfeit theirs too because of it?

He's a doddering, bigoted anachronism. How is that worse than violent felonies that have been committed by some NBA players? Should they be banned from the NBA?

Maybe they just charged for commercial use? Or maybe I'm confusing it with Mosaic? Either way, I'm certain that at a job I had before 1998, Netscape could be freely and legitimately obtained for use on Solaris.

Uh, its browser competition was already free - how far down could it push their price?

My first thought was: too bad they didn't find out in time to include it in the most recent AAAS report.

Can an ebarrassed Eurpoean demand an article be removed from newspaper archives? Or book-form indexes of publications?

Okay, so both spellings exist, but they're not on equal footing.

"linchpin"?

Actually, in NJ they'd love to: as the article mentions, a law was passed a few years ago requiring that once such technology is available, all new handguns in NJ would be required to have it. Stupid stupid stupid.

Agree 100%. Also while I'm a geek and appreciate the ever-shrinking and ever-more-powerful computers and that they're now wrist-sized, I as much or more appreciate (also as a geek) the good-lookng watch on my wrist that keeps track of and displays everything from season and moon phase to month/day/hour/minute/second purely mechanically and powered only by incidental movement.
