    This article was posted over 3 hours ago, and no one has made the comment;

    "I've got an even faster connection with my 13 inch tube"

    Shame, Giz.

    Isn't this the sort of thing that should be deployed on Earth, and then pimped by NASA along with tempurpedic mattresses and tang as the trickle down value of space investment?

    @Leonce: well i donno if that be a good thing cuz a lot of people, well me at least, only seed while downloading in order to minimize chance of getting caught and i feel like there would be less live files this way

    @mferrari: It's mathematically impossible for everyone to seed to 1.5. And since a lot of people seed way beyond that, it's not even possible for everyone else to seed anywhere near that amount.

    @stonefry: You're assuming a fixed number of seeds and leechers. As long as seeds go offline, and new leechers come on, everyone can seed to 1.5 or higher.

    That said it's easier to do on new files everyone wants, but niche data, it's pretty much leech if anyone is still seeding at all.

    Judging by the Brazilians I've met in my life, I'm amazed at this. Most of them could barely dial a phone, let alone hijack a satellite to increase the range of one.

    Great, so that's four more months that I CANT get HDTV because the transmitters aren't allowed to run at full power.


    Fuck you, FCC

    @Chiper: This changeover has nothing whatsoever to do with your ability to get HDTV. It is a change from analog to digital, not SD to HD. Just because the transition is made..... doesn't mean that all the stations that are still broadcasting in SD will automatically switch to HD.

    Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. I see commercials every day saying that the deadline is February 17. Everybody knows that the deadline is February 17.


    Besides, this whole situation is already a clusterfuck; $100 says that the coupon program is out of money because the FCC did an awful job at the beginning explaining who needed a converter and who didn't. Delaying the transition will just make things worse.

    I fail to see why anyone posting to this tech blog would give a rats ass about the delay. The truth is that most of us here already have digital solutions and will not notice one iota of difference once the switch is actually made.


    Instead of whining about the problem, which really isn't a problem for you at all; how about becoming part of the solution. Go down to your local senior center and volunteer to help some seniors get properly set up.
