We see this already with blackout outs in cable TV for various sports games ect. In fact, it took 4 months to resolve a dispute between DirecTV and the Weather Channel [0], which affected 20 Million people. There was some outrage, but no

I don't see revenue taking part in the discussion other than showing you have a true business model. Having a stable, profitable business model means you're a small business and not a startup. I also tend to start calling a compa

This would make sense but for one point. The graph of service quality spiked as soon as Netflix began paying Comcast. If they're weren't throttling then how could such a spike be possible? You can't see those kind of perfo

He did not work on it during company time. "I did not do so on company time (as proven by the git commit logs), I worked on it in the evenings after I had completed my work for the day."

No, no it is not. Any asteroid that will be an Earth killer will have such a high velocity (due to its highly elliptical orbit) that it won't matter. Consider 2012 XE54 [0]. These objects are nigh undetectable as evidenced by the det

Third paragraph of the article, last sentence. (There is also sad news today, with layoffs for 15 percent of the company’s workforce.)

Keep in mind that the lifetime of this mission is actually pushing other missions out of scope. The budget needed to continue support of Opportunity could be dollars spent elsewhere. So, overspending doesn't make sense. They're

"Well, to be fair, given people like you, that's really no surprise." A personal attack? Can we save the ad hominems for somewhere else? I fail to see how being an informed consumer is a problem. I care how/where my d

Having just come back, this week, from a three weeklong trip visiting a large portion of the country (Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guilin, Shanghai, Nanjing and Shijiazjuang [along with a number of minor cities]) the pollution was by far t

I had the same reservations. But you know what? Fuck it. I'm so tired of this bullshit that I'm more than willing to take the risk at this point. This angers me to no end. Donation complete.

I had so many problems with this on my T400 running Ubuntu 12.04. I had roughly half the battery life compared to when it was running Windows because there was no way to disable/enable the discrete and integrated cards. That was so fr

Yep. Over-brushing can cause your gums to inflame and retreat, lowering the gum line. There is also no fix to this problem short of surgery. Wish I had known that when I was younger.

Their customer services sucks. When I bought my last Thinkpad, I had to buy it 3 times, over the course of two weeks before they finally built it and wait a month to have it shipped once the order actually went through. It was a solid m

I'm as annoyed as anyone by this turn of events (FEMA intervention in utilizing UAVs). I've even passed along the article to some high level people at the state to rabble rouse.

This disaster is well beyond the planning and action efforts of the state government, let alone local. Federal assistance in the form of FEMA ect was really the only way to keep things rolling.

You've seen the National Guard around right? They run ~$1 million a day to operate. Not really something the local government or even the state can afford to utilize for the time needed to help with evacuation and cleanup efforts. I&
