5/17/2023 0 Comments Kid snippets olympicsMaybe things were a little better in earlier Olympics - I think they were, but I could be wrong. This isn't just NBC's problem, it's a perennial problem. But I saw it only because I happened to still be awake at 12:30 a.m.įinally, speaking of U.S.-centrism: It really needs to be dialed back. ![]() Huh? This is the metric mile, one of the most important races in the Olympics. NBC has done a good job with most of the track events, but unless I missed it, the 1,500-meter final was not in prime time. Why was the women's soccer final not on prime time? Even if you're making all your programming decisions based on demography and numbers, wouldn't the most popular women's sport in the country rate an hour and a half? All the more, from NBC's egregiously U.S.-centric perspective, because the U.S. Would it kill NBC to show one less hour of beach volleyball or synchronized diving, and give us just a little taste of the dazzling variety of athletic activities that the Olympics offer?Īnd then, there have simply been inexplicable omissions. These aren't in the same category as track and field, but they, too, are part of the Olympics. My other gripe is that we don't see enough "minor" sports like table tennis, badminton and shooting. But NBC needs to devote more time to the basics. ![]() I'm not dissing judged sports - I think gymnasts may be the greatest athletes at the Olympics. Whether you win or lose is not dependent on the whim of some dude from Austria. Partly that's because they are elemental: What's simpler than who can jump the highest? And unlike subjective sports such as diving or gymnastics, they're not judged - either you clear the bar or you don't. (Watching the dramatic battles for silver and bronze is one of the great joys of the Olympics - but those battles rarely appear on gold-obsessed TV.) In any case, I think people would watch these events if NBC covered them. You keep setting the bar higher and higher, and lesser competitors fall away. Of course, it's not easy to televise events like the high jump and the pole vault. But it's not in the same class as the high jump! It's a great event - and one with far more Olympic history than beach volleyball. But I would far rather have seen less of it, and more in-depth coverage of the pole vault or the long jump, during prime time. I'm an unapologetic fan of beach volleyball - men's and women's. But the Olympics patient has died in the waiting room. I know, with only four hours in the prime-time slot, it's all about triage. ![]() But what they're watching is not really the Olympics. Lots of people are watching, and that's good. It's aiming to get the maximum number of viewers, and it has succeeded. It's obvious why NBC has covered the games the way it has: Money. A young kid watching the Olympics for the first time on TV would really not understand what the games are all about. By all but ignoring the events that make the Olympics special, NBC is doing its viewers a great disservice. The Olympic record book isn't just a set of statistics - it's a vast encyclopedia of memories. Even more than baseball, the Olympics are all about tradition and continuity. They connect us with great memories of past Olympics, of Al Oerter and Sergei Bubka and Rafer Johnson and Dick Fosbury. They are the central stitches in its vast historic tapestry. They're the heart and soul of the Olympics. Yeah, it'll toss in a minute or two of coverage of the winning jump or the last decathlon event, but that's kind of like tearing out the last page of "War and Peace" and saying you read it. It's simply not showing us the classic Olympic events, like the decathlon, discus, hammer throw, javelin, high jump, long jump or pole vault. I'm an Olympics dog, and I happily lap up whatever the NBC producers decide to put in my dish.īut with only a day-plus of these marvelous games to go, I have to say that NBC has really blown it with its prime-time coverage, especially of the second week. As anyone who has read any of my hyperbolic ravings about sporting events I watch only every four years knows, I don't have a shortage of enthusiasm. ![]() (the consequence of living in that despised province known as West Coastia) feeling emotionally satiated and thoroughly wrung out. It helps to avoid all contact with the outside world.) I thoroughly enjoyed just about all of the events I watched - in fact, I usually turned off my TV at 12:30 or 1 a.m. (I was surprisingly successful: I think the first prime-time result that I learned about before NBC showed it was Shawn Johnson's gold medal on the balance beam. I became a dutiful info-ostrich, trying to avoid finding out what happened in the events before the broadcasts. I've watched just about every second of every one of its prime-time shows (OK, I may have fast-forwarded through an hour or two of synchronized diving).

Sample task: convert 100 Mbps to MB/s (binary, also MiB/s). More examples using a simplified procedure below. However, if you want a step by step solution, then it is easiest to first convert each metric to bit-level metrics, then convert back to the desired unit.įor example, 25 mbps is equal to 25 x 1,000,000 bps. ![]() The easiest way to convert mbps to MB/s is through our converter. Currently the fastest available LAN cards go up to 160 gbps. You most likely have a 100 mbit LAN card on your PC or MAC, therefore it has a maximum transfer rate of 100 mpbs. Business connections may go up to 300 mbps, and more. You likely see prices internet connection speeds advertised as 25 mbps, 50 mbps, 75 mbps, or 32 mbps, 48 mbps, 64 mbps, etc. Please share if you found this tool useful: 2 Megabits Per Second to Megabytes Per Second 0.25, 80 Megabits Per Second to Megabytes Per Second 10 3. In practice, mbps is the unit in which your optic, broadband, LAN or DSL connection will be advertised in. On the other hand, a MegaBit per Second (mbps) is a standard bandwidth measurement metric for network equipment, such as routers, switches and LAN cards, and is equal to 1,000,000 bits per second, or 1,000 kilobits per second. A MB can be defined in the binary and the decimal convention, as described above. Difference between Mbps and MB/sĪ MB per second (MB/s) is a non-standard unit for network throughput, often used due to its convenience since most file sizes one works with are in usually expressed in byte-units: KB, MB, GB, etc., and not bit-units like kbps and mbps. When using our mbps to MB converter, one can easily use both units. ![]() As you can imagine, having the same name for a unit with two different definitions is not a great situation. Then, we have the decimal SI convention, according to which one MB = 10 3 KB = 1,000 KB, so one megabyte is 8,000,000 bits. From this definition it follows that one megabyte is 8,388,608 bits. First, we have the binary system in which units are powers of 2, e.g. ![]() You are not the only one confused here, continue reading to understand why.īoth of the above answers are correct, depending on the unit convention that is relevant (agreed on) in your particular case. Using the SI (International System of Units) standard of the megabyte, 8,000 megabits per second equal one megabyte per second. Using the binary definition of the megabyte (MB), 8.192 megabits per second (mbps) equal 1 megabyte per second (MB/s). How many MegaBits per second equal 1 MegaByte per second?

A tropical cyclone is a warm-core, low pressure system without any front attached. Tropical Storm Katia now has 65-mph winds Hurricane Center watches wave closer to. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto announced on Twitter that he had begun to coordinate emergency preparedness. Hurricane Season 101 The official Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season runs from June 1st to November 30th. A forecast tracking chart issued Wednesday, Aug. The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall and it's likely to bring heavy rainfall. According to Mexico's National Meteorological Service, Hurricane Katia will hit the state of Veracruz Friday evening or Saturday morning. Katia, a Category 1 hurricane, has formed in the southwest part of the Gulf of Mexico with winds of 75 miles per hour. It was also expected that Hurricane Jose will flounder in the middle of the North Atlantic early next week. A projected path shows that it could move north of the Leeward Islands by the end of this week, a few days after Hurricane Irma has already pummeled some of those territories. It is likely that Jose will continue to strengthen as it is moves westward this week, according to Accuweather. While there were no official warnings or watches, the advisory suggests that the Leeward Islands must monitor Hurricane Jose's track along the Atlantic. Weather forecasters tracked the storm as it brewed over. Hurricane Jose was located about 1,040 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and had reached wind gusts of 75 miles per hour, according to an advisory issued Wednesday by the Miami-based National Hurricane Center. Katia was the eleventh Atlantic storm named so far this year, following on from Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Jose. Both are expected to churn through the Gulf of Mexico and, possibly, the Leeward Islands in the West Indies. NASA Is Tracking Monster Hurricanes Irma, Jose and Katia from Space. The National Hurricane Center track and 5-day cone has Katia staying to the southest of RU115 & RU16 deployed on the Mid-Atlantic Shelf. As if the Atlantic hadn't had an already active hurricane season, tropical storms Katia and Jose reached enough strength Wednesday afternoon to reach hurricane status. ![]() ![]() After choosing the Copy Selected Items option, which reveals the contents of the source drive, you can uncheck any files or folders you don’t want included in your backup. One of the most appealing features of Carbon Copy Cloner 3-especially for advanced users-is the ability to clone only particular files. If not, the option won’t even be available. There are few situations in which a typical Mac user will need the latter, but if you do, CCC will oblige, provided CCC is able to unmount both the source and the target-which means you can’t be booted from either-and you choose the option to erase the target volume. This method makes a clone that’s not only file-by-file identical, but also block-by-block identical. One unique option here is the ability to make a block-level clone. To be fair, SuperDuper uses the text “What’s Going To Happen,” so there is-or there’s, depending on your inclination-at least one difference in the wording.) The process isn’t fast, but it’s thorough.

You just choose a source disk (the original volume) and a target disk (the backup volume) choose Copy Everything From Source To Target from the Cloning Options pop-up and, optionally, enable the option to Erase The Target Volume.
