Last I checked they are the ones refusing a cease fire to allow humanitarian aid so pretty hard to spin that PR.

Who is calling for the finial solution? Frankly even evacuating that whole hellhole and glassing it over the religious extremists would fight over the radioactive glass. The long term solution is education people so they can understand that religion by definition is insane.
As to understanding the means that a countries military is capable of or that half a century of war gives people reason to do, has nothing to do with the Finial Solution nor is this even close to the scale of what the Nazi's inflicted on the Jews and others.
I see a lot of complaining about a disproportionate response, would you tell a police offers that if they get punched they can only punch back just as hard? Should a thief just have to give the stuff back when caught? No nearly universally justice demands a much harsher response to deter others from doing the same. This conflict will not end until the Gazan's (sp) figure out peace is in their collective best interest for the long term.
Sure but they can write one order that is public and countermand it with the next classified one so you need something from congress since we still can not make secret laws.
It's not much of a blockade if the are not hurting. Isn't the point that once they are hungry enough they will elect a leadership with a clue that wants peace and will stop the attacks? Pretty sure they do not want them to starve to death bad PR and enough of the old folks remember how nasty that is. But hunger is a good motivator to break a defiant population.
That is the point of the blockade isn't it? Getting Gaza to capitulate and figure out it does not hold the upper hand. They are perfectly capable of leveling Gaza and frankly have more than enough reason to do so. They want a neighbor that will not attack them and will work aggressively to stop terrorist from doing the same. The Gazans are free to elect somebody that is willing to and can do just that or hit there current people with enough cluebats to make it happen.
Can you please explain? The "G" in "GCC" stands for "GNU," so isn't that "The Bazaar" by definition?
When talking about lossy compression for video it might technically work but it's still worthless. For example my highly proprietary heavily patented postage stamp algorithm reduces all video down to 90 era dialup rate mpeg 2 aka a blurry postage stamp. This means it's massively compressed and very quick so it scores high on both metrics. It also looks like crap. Output quality and ratio are generally the metrics that matter and output quality is a subjective factor that needs to be determined by humans. How long it takes to encode is general a non factor as outside of live encoding it's a one time event. The other factor is how hard is it to decode generally not an issue right now.
Yet they show 49.5% profit on wireless last year.
But that is not how the internet has traditionally worked. Teir 1 providers (those that pay nobody for bandwidth) which L3 and Verizon are do not pay each other ever. L3 is more than happy to increase port capacity/count and Verizon is refusing to do so. Put more simply Verizon is refusing to increase capacity in hopes to get the Comcast deal with Netflix. Netflix is also happy to give Verizon CDN gear to deploy on their network again a common practice.
Verizon is a teir 1 but pretty much an eyeball network, they send very little traffic compared to what they consume. They are effectively gaming the settlement free peering that has made the internet work to date in attempt to extort netflix and the like to buy their more expansive bandwidth to use their CDN etc etc. If you extend that logically we fall back to the walled garden days of compuserve aol etc which seems to what Verizon wants people paying to consume the things they are getting payed to send them.
For the obligatorily car analogy it's the car dealership making the factory pay them to take the cars and making the consumer pay for the car irregardless if it's the one they want coupled with the government only allowing a couple car dealerships sell to people in a given area, effectively take what they offer or get nothing.
It's native objects can look rather childish, look at the cloud object that looks like something from ms paint for an example. But the big issue for me is it's missing the tools built around visio. Network discovery being the big one. Sure could I hack something together to use an existing tool and get the objects into Dia. I may be wrong as it's been awhile since I looked at it.
The investors might have made profit but the company itself is operating in the red. This just means the perceived value is higher than it was in 1998. Which makes sense, we are talking about a company that had 19 billion dollars flow through it in a quarter, which suggests a high likelihood they could be profitable at least for some time if they chose to.
Basically amazon has been saying they are investing and in the very long term the bets will pay off. AS it stands, amazon has not opted to proceed to '3) profit' and are firmly in the '2) ???' phase of their plan.
It remains to be seen how long their investments will pay off should they decide to back off. They have effectively been buying market share and for all the investors know, they have built no 'stickiness' and that share could evaporate the moment amazon decides it needs to be profitable and stops undercutting everyone else who needs to make a profit.
Frankly if this is done right the muni primarily provides the natural monopoly portion, just the glass back to the CO, no active gear on poles etc. At the CO they could provide power/cooling and implement there own layer 2/3 network to act as an ISP.
CWDM makes it easy to have a muni network and 8+ other networks on a single fiber. A muni might also resell it's active infrastructure allowing smaller players to enter a market and for efficiency serving lower utilization clients. Besides internet access it's fairly simple to provide library, school and government web site access via a google like install fee to cover costs. Offering metro area network type services is an easy add on, point to point via a dark channel and lit services and multipoint via lit services can be a huge boon to companies. Companies can fill in back-hauling to telco hotels and other muni's allowing for meta services to be built on top much like today's long haul fiber market.
Sure hey TSA idiots arrest this guy. Hell probably try and have it covered under the obey all instructions of the flight staff BS.
