It's not really a big deal. I have a 10Mbps DSL connection with no cap for $40 a month from SaskTel. They actually offer connections up to 25Mbps (DSL, I kid you not), but they cost nearly $100 a month. Still though, no caps. VDSL

Google charges per click though.

It was a residential street. Don't be stupid, of course it's as bad as it sounds. Don't get me wrong, I drive an LS1 Trans Am, and I have a heavy foot. But a residential street? No. Never. That's just stupid.

I'm from Saskatchewan too. I thought we called it "western Canada". East is the maritimes...I think that leaves Ontario to be the center.

All you at work in Kanata, get back to work!

That's what you may prefer, but you are the aging generation. If you look at the cell phone market you will quickly realize that smartphones, or even just "texting" dumbphones with full keyboards are becoming very popular. You don't even want to know how many highschool girls walk around with Blackberries. I'm sorry, but you are going to start noticing less and less cellphones without full keyboards.

Sounds like Directed Electronics Inc (DEI). If you want a car starter you either buy a Compustar or a DEI...there is nobody else left. Over the years DEI has bought out several competitors, if only for their patents. Viper, Clifford, Python...all DEI (now), and all sell the exact same products. Some /.s might know that Viper (a DEI company) just released an iPhone interface for their starters. Pretty neat idea, no? I thought so, I was going to do something similar for my 4th year EE progect at school...until this came out. Anyway, while researching this I noticed that Clifford filed a patent for this in 1989, 11 years before being bought out by DEI, only to have DEI sell a product using that patent under their own name 9 years after that. Crazy how this stuff works.

One power supply for the whole rack may very well work, but not for the whole datacenter. If you start trying to send that much power to all those servers at 12V DC, you're going to be pushing a LOT of amps and require very thick wires to avoid transmission losses. And if you're not useing low voltage DC, you're going to need some sort of PSU at the server level anyway.

Not true, we have health care! :D
