I'd go for a carne asada burrito delivered to me in PB.

Thanks for the subtitles. They would be easier to follow if overlaid directly on the video. I understand the transcript is supposed to be clickable/seekable, so maybe have traditional overlays as a full-screen option.

They already throttle, to some extent. Bandwidth and speed caps, which may or may not apply to a Verizon-owned Netflix. Then things like preferential QoS come into the picture. Also see the peripheral dispute between Level3 and Comcast, due

Ignoring the huge technical differences, it boils down to net neutrality. Other services could be throttled in favor of Verizon's, much as the carriers were screeching over VoIP apps few years ago.

IMO, that would be questionable in the long term. From what I understand, Kansas City is a network testbed, a novelty in Google's business portfolio. There is no reason to invest in a multi-city network unless it directly supplements G's co

And? As I said -- when you pay for cable TV, you're paying for the TV feed. Netflix is VOD carried over IP. The power company doesn't try to sell you energy-guzzling AC units.

Absolutely not. Data carriers should not be able to supply any content over its pipes. There is already precedent restricting vertical integration -- see the United States v. Paramount Pictures ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v

You can reconstruct almost any system flow with good logging. While that's not always ideal (especially if you need to query the data), the more structured your data gets, the less it is a simple log. When you increase the specificity of yo

Syslog works nicely over the network in a client-server configuration, and has done so for ages.

The .NET runtime doesn't cost money. The tools to write .NET programs cost money. Some of them.

I tried Puppet because using a real deploy tool seemed like the Right Thing To Do. When I was on my 10th puppet script, I gave up. My existing mishmash of shell scripts already does the same thing in a fraction of the effort, sans cumbersom

If you're mobile, carrying around a keyboard negates the value of the iPad. If you're stationary, a real computer gives you far more flexibility. Then you have the issue of unbearably long compiles, as the article stated. The iPad is not th

The iPad is made for content consumption, not creation. Trying to write TeX (or any kind of markup) with a virtual keyboard sounds horrific.

There's still a carrying cost to that bandwidth inventory, so it's not completely free.

Strangely enough, this is a recurring nightmare of mine. I'm holding commodity futures that I forget to close out, and then one day farmers show up at my door with the delivery.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems like a way to tug at people's heartstrings for free capital. If interest goes back to the original investors (donors), surely Starbucks is not going to track down everyone who contributed a dollar for

I'm deaf. Not sure about other countries, but here in the US we have free video relay services that have a number attached to your account. Calls go to a video interpreter, who will also take messages for you. I don't particularly like deal

If the majority of the round went into buyouts, then yeah. This was a Series F, and they don't seem like the type of company that hemorrhages cash. I could see it being a reasonable move if this went to expansion while waiting for a better

Yep, the salesman explicitly said unlimited LTE.

I have an unlimited data plan on Verizon, and was told last week it could transfer to LTE. (Didn't make the switch though; I opted for the Droid 3 and its physical keyboard.)

Wouldn't be an issue if you projected it from the underside, even though that doesn't seem to be the plan here.

I just interpreted the article an imprecise way of saying " they're both functional, but one is statically typed," by assuming Lisp as the canonical example of FP (rightly or not). Not the most apt comparison, to be sure.
