Please NVIDIA do something about reliability, compatibility, provide debug symbols, meaningful error messages, and a way to easily provide feedback and response and the understanding of how the collected data is used rather than the impression it goes to /dev/null.

You have subtly reassigned your user base to serve as your beta test annoyance discovery team, selling hardware with drivers that provide the air of functionality but each with its own nuances of failure and glitches.

I try not to be nasty, but Linus's response was correct. It's time to draw the line and make up for the last 4 or 5 years of failed promises.

I have lived a year in hell, a suburban environment in a stickframe house, light construction (no masonry), large rooms, and many windows. Near a major intersection. With old uneven streets and car tires striking like hammers over the pavement.

Have all the naysayers ever experienced infrasound? It is very distressing, even at low levels. The building construction largely attenuates audible frequencies but the very low natural resonances and impulse noise is pronounced. Who cares what an SPL meter says when your body is distressed and in constant fight or flight mode? You ever felt the thump of an inconsiderate person's car stereo? This is much worse, and there's almost no recourse for the affected, because it's all about the numbers or lack thereof. Infrasound is also factor Environmental Illness/Sick Building Syndrome.

Who the hell would moderate posts referencing Kanzius. It is entirely relevant to the discussion and is evidence of a trend in direct treatments of cancerous tumors. While Kanzius uses metal and nonmetal nanoparticles and an RF current, this treatment uses layered shells of magnetic materials which self-oscillate (so it seems) in the presence of a magnetic field generating heat from within rather than what seems to be ohmic loss through applied current.

Having read the poor abstract and the article at sciencemag, I haven't been able to determine the exact parameters of this application to the point of getting excited.

My sister's school, Baylor University, among many universities encourage the use of the Ruckus service which already accounts for any licensing issues, including those with Warner.

From Baylor's "The Lariat" article
Millions of songs free for collegians
KATE BOSWELL, Jan. 23, 2007:

"Ruckus avoids copyright infringement through its direct relationship with the record labels, Lawson said. Ruckus has agreements with major labels, such as Warner and EMI, as well as several thousand independent labels."

I will not substantiate my opinion, as it's been covered any time in the last ten years a post about the RIAA comes up: In making this statement, I posit that warner's desire is only to monopolize their music rather than encourage the use of well-developed, mature service which are already in place.

What about Wireless ISPs? I run one in Texas and give my customers ~40ms pings to nearly peering point in Dallas. The bandwidth may be slow and expensive compared to cable/dsl providers in large cities, but the only other alternatives are dial-up or satellite. My customers also enjoy the fact that I'm a local small business that lives down the road. They can call me up and ask me a question personally and not have to worry about getting shunted to a large call center in a foreign country.

There are thousands of Wireless ISPs around the country helping to provide service to everyone who the big telcos don't think they can profit enough from. Look hard enough and I bet there's already a WISP servicing your area.

The biggest issue is how federal funding is handed out to rural ISPs. The FCC determines broadband coverage based on zip codes the big providers give them. That means even though Verizon has DSL in the nearest town to me, they only cover about 200 houses within 1/4 mile -- everyone else outside that is considered covered by the FCC even though they can't get service. I can't get a RUS Grant because my coverage area is already "covered" by another provider.
