True enough. Just out-and-out assuming that they arrived at a legitimate result is a rookie mistake. The comment in the article "receiving at least 3 bars of service" makes me pretty worried that they didn't control for constant UeTx power particularly well (some tests might have 3 bars, some 4, some 5 - and yeah, reported bars are based on DL measurements, but there is a good correlation between RSRP (or RSCP) and UeTx Power)... So, another meaningless result due to failed experimental design.

My bet - different CDRX settings, fast dormancy, idle timers. Is probably a better engineered network.

Ah, so now consuming the blood of virgins won't count as a purely recreational activity...

Depends. AMR-WB (sometimes marketed as HD-Voice) which has been around for years (not all carriers support it though) is much higher quality than what you typically get over POTS.

If Dave Barry heard you say that he'd roll over in his grave (assuming he is dead), but I'd hazard a guess that he shan't, because what're the odds he'll be paying enough attention - at least, that is what I've always said.

God no. As you said she is yours. A proud member of the Commonwealth.

Nuke 'em all, then there will no problems. Well, nobody to complain about them anyway.

True, that said - EMACS is still pretty much the most advanced OS on the planet.

how long until the filter/brush code is implemented server side?

Hmmm... good point. Suspect it has more to do with semantics of infinity. Infinity never behaves in a rational manner *duck*...

1/x... what happens as x approaches 0... ??

Meh - to each their own. The first three (Ender's Game, Xenocide and Speaker for the Dead) were entirely readable and even enjoyable. I personally thought Ender's Game was the most entertaining (the implication that any of them were cerebral is laughable) but could happily entertain the idea that other people might have enjoyed either of the other two just as much. The remaining ten books (with the exception of a couple of the short stories) I personally thought had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but hey - that's what makes subjective opinions so much fun, hey? I should probably throw them at my daughter to read so that I can work out whether I've just got terrible taste in books :)

Heart of darkness was neat, and well written...

But god the rest of the books in that series are awful... Almost unreadable.
