Did you do your speed tests over WiFi or connected to your router? I upgraded my router because I could only get ~30Mbps. After upgrading to AC on 5Mhz, I get ~120Mbps. I live in Manhattan and have TWC.

I strongly dislike it. I installed it right before a business trip to Swaziland and it deleted all of my playlists and removed all of the songs—except those I purchased as a junior in high school when the iTunes store first launched (what is Hope 7? A free iTunes download from 2004? Of course I want to listen to that…

I’m going to be in the very small minority on this one and say: “I don’t mind LaGuardia.” I fly in and out frequently for business and rarely have a problem and Delta’s renovated terminal isn’t bad. Also, the rotunda in the old Marine Terminal is beautiful—but no one ever sees it.

You might want to check the author’s byline at the end of the article: “Andrew Coates is Professor of Physics, Head of Planetary Science at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory at UCL.”

As a space lawyer, I don’t think that the existing international conventions are adequate or practically enforceable. I expect that UNCOPUOS will draft conventions on orbital debris, but state and private action will likely define customary international legal principles that will define private property rights over…

TWC did the same thing to me. However, by keeping a basic cable bundle (local channels only), my broadband cost dropped $30/mo. It’s worth a shot.

ESPN, ESPN2, and WatchESPN are all available through Sling.TV’s base $20/mo. package.

I live in NYC and just cut the cord — well, mostly cut the cord. Because I’m an existing TWC subscriber, I would have to pay $80/mo to keep my 200 Mbps internet (realistically you need at least 50Mbps to cut the cord). By keeping basic channels (which we don’t use), I was able to keep my broadband for $52/mo. (modem…

As an avid cricket and college baseball fan, I’ve been streaming sports online for over a decade and it is just fine. I watch pleanty of ESPN3 / WatchESPN. I recently watched the Cricket World Cup on my Roku and was impressed by the video quality. My coworkers and I also streamed most of last year’s Soccer World Cup…

I expect that it is for street view. I bet they’re using the LIDAR to build a 3D model, which they’ll map the images on top of.

Regarding the export of technical data (“recipe”): Yes, ITAR applies and this still constitutes an export even though you’re not moving a physical asset. Technical knowledge, blueprints, and other data concerning items on the U.S. Munitions List cannot be shared with non-US entities (and non-preapproved countries)…

Having worked in ITAR and studied it in law school, let me quickly clarify. The first amendment is not absolute and there are limitation on speech where there are compelling public interests. One area of limitation is in the export of defense articles (a broad category that includes everything from guns to night…

I’m curious about the broad applications of this. It could be used for humanitarian purposes — such as to find survivors in rubble in Nepal (SSID: “Help is on the way”) — or by law enforcement / military to see if someone is in a building.

Really, what I want is an e-Ink cover for my tablet that allows you to read books, web articles, etc. without needing the glossy, backlit screen or a second eBook device.

Hillary’s campaign http website didn’t redirect to https this morning. This is what was displayed. However, a 30 second phone call with the campaign fixed it.

Colorado should be “South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut.” I’m also disappointed to learn that the original “Red Dawn” was filmed in Nevada and New Mexico.

The key is that outside of work, the vast majority of people don’t need a laptop. They simply need a device to consume media and for this a laptop is overkill and the tablet is perfect — it is a consumer product for consuming.

Or lead villain in The Fast and the Furious VIII.

The Pikes Peak Panorama is likely Colorado Springs, not Denver.

This is not necessarily true. The Moon Treaty is a failed convention because it was not signed by the major spacefaring nations. The U.S. did not sign and ratify the convention or pass domestic legislation, steps necessary for it to become law.
