(I tried to be vague to avoid spoilers but now fear my post makes no sense) One of my favorite things about the twists though is that I feel like they actually lay a lot of groundw…

I took a look at the slides/paper and you are completely correct (I thought the same thing). The plot is essentially saying that if you compare the "average household" to the house…

Residential networks are actually part of my current research, and, although I don't know the full details of every technology, I am familiar with the basics of how DSL and DOCSIS …

Yeah I can't believe this works for them. So I assume Comcast pays Tata, right? I was under the impression at some point that was their primary provider (paid transit). They keep t…

Ah, very good point. The last thing I read on the Level3/Comcast spat story lead me to believe Comcast was paying Level3 for the peering. I apologize. However, this line lead me to…

I'm sorry to sound very negative on the author, but I don't know how you could have the knowledge to write this article, but not have the knowledge to understand the basics of cost…

I believe there is a similar story used in statistics courses (based on a true story) of a possible case of gender discrimination. The university (or universities) basically appear…

Yeah, that sounds very awesome and like exactly what I want. Is this using the MLB streaming service? I really wish I could do the same thing with hockey games. I just really despi…

The reason that people are annoyed is because the title of the article is misleading. Yes, this guy may be a "hacker" in the sense of the word that we all like to use (he's a progr…

I believe I had even read somewhere in an interview that the reason Netflix had "Net" in it was because of their long term plans to move towards streaming, not because users select…

I'm actually doing some research on this topic right now in grad school. I think there is definitely a lot more that can be done in this area; we're looking at things like time-of-…

I think most people don't realize that a lot of what IPv6 fixes means you don't need to deal with the IP address directly so often. Also, any program that converts an IP address to…

Your point reminds me of Colbert's speech at Northwestern this year. Towards the end (the more serious part) he says something along the lines that, you don't really "win" at life.…

You're spot on. When I first saw Google Wallet, I thought, "haven't Japanese cellphones been doing this for a while?" Also, I have an electronic dictionary, a DS with a dictionary …
