If we assume that there are about 7 million people in london then that means that each cell serves about 100 people IF they all have 4g cellphones. For some reason this seems a bit off. Lets assume that adoption rates are 50% so that gives us 50 people per cell. 50*100Mb/s = 5Gb/s (assuming all users are mobile otherwise we are looking at 50Gb/s which is quite a load for a single cell but assumes that all the users are pulling the max data all the time). I'm not going to do the math for antenna space and bandwidth, but this [https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=number%20of%20simultaneous%20connections%20to%20a%20single%20lte%20cell&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CCsQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.motorola.com%2Fweb%2FBusiness%2FSolutions%2FIndustry%2520Solutions%2FService%2520Providers%2FWireless%2520Operators%2FLTE%2F_Document%2FStatic%2520Files%2F6834_MotDoc_New.pdf&ei=7PeETrGmIo24twemp_gu&usg=AFQjCNEQ5Y_VX896_PG2lJPZK3HviwzdDw&sig2=aDM8ApeoCYBEHMbDCqbDJA] PDF white paper seems to suggest that 200 connections per cell is about maximum. So, I'd say that their math is off somewhere even given reasonable QOS requirements and 50 concurrent users. Maybe they are defining London differently?

TL;DR bad math

Amazing! This must be the first time that raw theoretical power has been harnessed to do something! If this works we should finally be able to get something useful out of all those academics.

Better'd cut down all the trees too, just to be safe. Wouldn't want a kid climbing one of those and falling out!

DFCRED = dumb fuck credentials?

So Google gets some wifi packets and the DOJ steps in. But because there is a contract here they aren't going to do anything? I thought there were rules about not being able sign a contract to sell yourself into slavery and the like in this country. Apparently something has changed.

Does anyone remember what happened last time someone bombed Gaddafi? Ya, 3 tons of C4 were send to N. Ireland. There is a good reason why France and England are currently getting ready to drop bombs as we speak. This resolution means that it is all in for many western powers. They kill him or they are going to be saddled with a whole lot more state sponsored terrorism.

Anon would do alot better to just remain silent about this and systematically remove all reference to Phelps et al from the internet. The only reason they keep it up is because of the attention. If you ignore them and erase their existence from the media it doesn't matter what they say, no one will hear them and they will be like a kid throwing a tantrum in a soundproofed padded room where no one is watching and no one cares.

This is the take home message of this whole article:
Golesworthy believes that projects such as this demonstrate that the interface between engineers and the rest of the world isn’t functioning in the way it should. ’When it does function, huge advances can be made in a very short time period, on very little money,’ he said. ’We have changed the world for people with aortic dilation and we have done it on a fraction of the cost.’

The author of this is an idiot. He may have said something reasonable in the rest of the article but:

"First, if Americans are traveling in volume via high-speed rail, then those systems will need as much security as air travel."

Anyone who thinks this is a fucking idiot and needs a strong dose of Bruce Schneier.

So what if he's dead. ;_;

Should have tipped you off that there were going to be quite a few exceptions. Whether there is 100% fidelity is another question altogether. Furthermore you need to know what portion of those RNA transcripts are actually being translated into protein and whether different variations in sequence are correlated with the relative rate of translation etc.

I gave up on caffeine intake over a year ago and let me tell you, I have felt about 1000x better. These days a single cup of coffee is enough to give me the shakes and make me feel sick for three hours. That shit is bad for you. Stick to the ethanol, at least you have an organ that can properly break it down.

Computerized HVAC. And NOT my mom, my dad, OR me. The computer was programmed 6 years ago and has been out of our control since. :x

1) move the decimal over one space to the left
2) multiply the first digit by 2
3) a)was the service bad? pick the result of 1)
    b)was the service good? pick the result of 2)
    c)was the service really good? stop being fucking lazy and multiply the whole damned thing by 2 and round up

Personally my step 2) is "divide the original by 5" but I'm weird

(Unfortunately, the planned mind reading extension to the kernel is still a few years out.)

So I know some people may read this and think "haha, funny joke" but given that most users are extremely predictable regarding what programs they use and when and how they use them (same with web browsing), shouldnt it be possible to gather user activity over time and analyze it to help improve scheduling. Hell, programs are more predictable about how they call for reads and writes, if the IOS preempts the program by loading stuff into cache that is likely to be needed when it doesnt have anything else to do we could totally speed stuff up. In theory beyond some basic data security needs the IO scheduler could vastly improve its cache performance by simply being fed data on what things the user and/or their programs tended to access repeatedly. Maybe this is too high level for some basic tasks, but it seems like there is plenty of use data that could be gathered to help teach an IOS what types of data are more likely to see repeated reads.

On the other hand, we could simply use OUR brains to write better code so that we didnt have to waist our computer's valuable time. Or for that matter other programmers' valuable time that could be spent making computers better (more efficient) tools rather than writing mindbogglingly complex statistical predictive IO schedulers to cover for our inability to follow proper program design.
