One of the benefits of this is the cellular providers can now provide ISP services. I worked at Verizon when they rolled out their 5g network, and I believe I saw that there were places they were offering ISP services over cellular networks.

This is, once they get past the LOS limits of 5g mmw.

Another example is where you need LAN speeds on a wireless network. There's a "city" where they test driverless cars. They need the LAN speeds there, but since the cars are mobile, it has to work on wireless. 5g mmw is perfect for this.

Looks like someone mentioned train stations and stadiums as some other examples. So there are some valid reason for this. Just real limited.

Rushed to market in my opinion. And now it seems, that we need direct line of site because even a window is to much for it.

No, it will tell you that someone is trying to send you something. You have to approve/deny it.

This will be everywhere they offer 5g MMW. Since 5g MMW is a line of site technology, yeah it's probably going to take a while. Urban areas first. I've wondered how they are going to cover the entire rural US with a LOS technology.

5g MMW will allow the cellular companies become ISP. Verizon is already offering 5g home internet service. In time all cell phone companies will start to offer ISP service. But keep in mind, this is 5g MMW, not 5g. 5g MMW is a line of site technology.

Screw you pal, MY glass rectangle is way superior to yours!

ps ax | grep xter[m] | wc -l and you won't see the grep line in your output.

I'll see your 12 hours, and raise you 9 days!

I run MythTV and use nvidia. I tried to use amd but it was real laggy. Nvidia gt410 has no problem with 1080i.

...Similar debate on abortion, small laws

Your comment is nothing but a sneaky way to insert anti abortion propaganda into this conversation.

I see multiple differences here.

No thunderbolt, no firewire, no USB 3.0 listed.

No multi touch track pad, no back lit keyboard.

720p camera, asus only says .3m pixel.

Magsafe power adapter, longer battery life

Also the mac runs windows, linux, AND OS X. The asus does not run OS X (without LOTS of effort to install and maintain)

The mb pro looks much much nicer.

All in all, quite a few differences. Add in all that stuff you missed, and you're nowhere near $749. The only two things it exceeds is hard drive size, and video card. You can get different set ups on the mb pro, but there is not point in discussing the asus any longer since it is no where near the specs of the mb pro you listed.

bind reads /etc/hosts. As far as I know any DNS server I've ever used on Linux reads /etc/hosts

I do it on the /etc/hosts level on my dns server. You can find large lists of ad domains that can be added to your hosts file with 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 to cause them to fail. This covers all machines on your network that use your dns server. The one I use is http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.txt however they have become slow with updating it. You might want to invest some time in looking for one that is updated more frequently.

Exploding heart disease.

They may have cured cancer, but is their cure open source? Is it free of DRM? I'll pass.
