Facebook Makeover Faces Backlash

By Tony Bradley

There is also a problem created by the new News Feed. You have your network of friends on Facebook because those are the people you are interested in networking with. But, because Facebook displays the comments from your friends, as well as comments from their friends,ugg sale, you end up with comments from users you are not networked with and excess noise to read through.

The complete real-time stream still exists, but now its called the Live Feed. While you are viewing the default News Feed, a bubble next to the Live Feed link keeps a running tally of the number of posts you’re missing in the Live Feed.

Energy Department eyes superfast Ethernet

Scientists will collaborate with as-yet-unnamed hardware and software vendors to develop a prototype 100Gbps Ethernet network, which will be used to connect U.S. Department of Energy supercomputer centers.

Juniper Networks announced the industry’s first 100Gbps Ethernet router interface card in June.

Ethernet networks normally run at either 100Mbps or 1Gbps,Paul Smith Sneakers, while the standard for the fastest is 40Gbps. Scientists working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will undertake research into the high-speed Ethernet project, which is called the Advanced Networking Initiative.

The U.S. government has pumped millions of dollars into the project. The Energy Department’s ESnet, formally known as the Energy Sciences Network, announced Monday that it had received $62 million in funding.

The network will be used by scientists to share data and research in such areas as climate-change modeling, and for collaborative projects such as the Large Hadron Collider,timberland womens shoes, the world’s largest particle accelerator. Businesses will benefit as 10Gbps and 1Gbps networks will become more affordable, said the statement.

The aim is to develop a network capable of handling 1Tb (terabit) per second, according to Michael Strayer,ghd usa, head of the Department of Energy’s office of advanced scientific computing research.

Einsturz des K?lner Stadtarchives durch Kostendruck und Sorglosigkeit?

Vor drei Tagen ist das K?lner Stadtarchiv in sich zusammen gesackt und hat wahrscheinlich nicht nur zwei Menschen unter sich begraben, sondern auch unsch?tzbare kulturelle Werte. Die genauen Ursachen des Unglücks sind derzeit noch unklar, ein Zusammenhang mit dem U-Bahnbau unter der benachbarten Severinstra?e gilt aber als wahrscheinlich.

Angst vor explodierenden Mieten
,cheap ugg boots

Die Angst des Berliner Bezirksbürgermeisters von Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Franz Schulz (Grüne),paul smith uk, vor steigenden Mietpreisen scheint berechtigt: Derzeit verzeichnet sein Bezirk Mietpreisexplosionen bei Neuvermietungen von bis zu 50 % – eine Ende dieser Preisspirale ist derzeit nicht abzusehen. Mit einem beherzten Brief hat er sich daher an den Berliner Senat gewendet und fordert ein Eingreifen seitens der Regierung in den aktuellen Trend, sonst würden viele ?seiner“ Bewohner und Alteingesessenen vor existenziellen Problemen stehen.

Doch sowohl das bundesdeutsche Mietrecht als auch die aktuelle Rechtssprechung bieten faktisch keinen Handlungsspielraum, um dem Trend entgegenzuwirken. Daher fordert der Grünen-Politiker, Mietpreiserh?hungen bei Neuvermietungen generell auf den Mittelwert des Mietspiegels zu begrenzen. Auch die erlaubte Mietsteigerung ohne Wohnwertverbesserung ist Schulz ein unnützes übel. Demnach k?nnten Mieten innerhalb von drei Jahren um bis zu 20 Prozent steigen.

Anders sieht dies die Stadtentwicklungssenatorin Ingeborg Junge-Reyer von der SPD. Ein Eingreifen der Politik w?re nicht von N?ten. So dokumentiere die Unterscheidung des Wohnungsmarktes in begehrte und weniger nachgefragte Lagen eine Normalisierung des Marktes: ?Keiner kann und niemand muss Wohnungssuchenden garantieren,ghd usa, eine sanierte Stuckaltbauwohnung in bester Wilmersdorfer oder Prenzlauer-Berg-Lage für unter fünf Euro Kaltmiete pro Quadratmeter zu finden.”
