You're misinformed about the channels that are used. It's actually the control channels that carry the SMS messages (the channels used for association to towers) not the voice channels. These channels can easily become heavily utilized wi

I've been using Piqi on a side-project of mine and I must say, I'm horribly impressed (using piqi_rpc with erlang for a web service and javascript based client to retrieve/interact with the data). The only way it could be nicer is if there

I'd suggest giving the Zebra F-301 a try. I've used them for years and they're cheap, write extremely smooth and don't smudge. And I can fill 1 1/2 to 2 notebooks on a single ink cartridge.

Yeah, that's definitely in the "too small to pay a company but big enough to have real problems to solve" range. I completely agree that just having people who care (and plan ahead) goes the furthest. At a previous employer, the number of

How many attendees were there? I tried to find some numbers real quick and couldn't manage to find them. For conferences (or any high density user environment), the density of users has a massive impact on how the network needs to be desi

Absolutely to all of the above. A developer's job is to determine what's actually wanted/needed, not what is exactly enumerated, especially in a startup. In addition, if a job needs done, a job needs done. A developer who can hop on a sa

You should look at the results for properly entering 'eggplant' instead of the incorrect 'egg plant'. It shows the issue is that it looked for egg when you meant eggplant, which is a different problem to solve entirely.

I've been using a modified version (50 minutes work, 10 minute break) for about 3 years now. It's invaluable and I don't even use a timer anymore. I don't even stay at my desk for the 10 minutes, I go chat, or step outside, or grab some c

Ride on others coat tails, stand on others' shoulders. It's not that it's any harder, it's that the skills used day to day are different. The single skill I picked up that served me best was being able to rationalize about what complex ,

I built a small personal tool to do the same thing when I was asked for my resume recently and realized just how out of date my resume was. It was a much simpler, much less polished one, but I think there's a definite need for the service

While this helps get the point across, your example doesn't provide comparable events. The distinction is the weighing of the results of actions to the actions themselves. Is taking one life justified to save another? Is it measured by t

Your computer being IPv6 compatible is incidental to the actual transition to IPv6. IPv4 to IPv6 NAT will be used as the circuit that's provided has IPv6 only connectivity in order to support older clients. And then, in order to talk to a

I think this is really well made and only have a few comments on the speed test portion. I'm not sure if you scale the dial showing your speed, but at 100 words per minute, it's not maxed out, but it is at 123 words per minute (I'm assuming

It's all secret or noforn. If he was working as an analyst, he'd likely be badged for it. It also depends on his particular job responsibilities. My guess is that he was cleared to access a document archive for his day-to-day operations

For the xbox indie games, you can't use sockets or any network access outside of what they provide for the xna api on the xbox. This limits the games to peer-to-peer with a max of 6 (maybe 4, can't remember offhand) players in a single ses
