At the rate web sites are increasing in size, you need a pretty big pipe to load pages. I was on dial-up until the other month, some pages would spend a half hour loading (26.4 connection, about 5 minutes per MB) before failing and even small sites like here would fail to totally load. Now I have a 4G connection and some sites are still slow. It's like computer memory and how software expands to fill it up, web pages grow to fill up the average pipe.
Baud doesn't equal connection speed either, at least with newer modems such as your 14400 example as a baud can encode more then one bit and peaked at 2400 or 9600, I forget which.
I think with the monkeys, it is the arrangement that is copyrighted. Much like you can't copyright a guitar playing notes, only arrangements of notes. Think of the monkeys as an instrument. I guess under that logic, arrangements of white noise could be copyrighted.
With golf courses, it is dumping nitrogen and phosphorous in large quantities on it. Note that the nitrogen and phosphorous are basically synthetic manure.
I, of course, did not read the article but would think that for anyone educated and curious would be aware of these problems caused by excessive shit going down stream and poisoning lakes and oceans. The problem is that any fixes are going to take some sacrifices, slightly more expensive food, fewer lush green lawns and golf courses, housing development that takes into consideration runoff and I'm sure other stuff. It's an old problem, people dump stuff and think it goes away.
Nitrogen runoff isn't a problem, plants love it. Phosphorous runoff isn't a problem,plants love it. Both nitrogen and phosphorous are necessary for life and here you are claiming too much is a problem. What is it with you big government types? Next you'll be lobbying against peoples natural right to apply fertilizer and dump there shit in the drinking water, probably while making claims about the science being settled that germs cause disease. You really should be skeptical about these claims like invisible things making people sick or invisible nutrients that plants love causing a shortage of oxygen.
The problem is that the fertilizer related dead zones are in some of the most productive parts of the ocean. River estuaries, continental shelves, inland seas etc. History has shown over and over that excessively shitting in your water leads to bad results but there are always people screaming that it is OK to put the outhouse beside the well and it would cost too much to move it and then going into denial about accepted science such as the germ theory of disease. 'Tis all a conspiracy of the soap manufacturers, sewage digger unions and besides it is too hard to wash my hands, little well think about where my shit is going.
Then there is pig shit, cow shit and of course, people shit, run off from lawns, including large ones that people play golf on and simple erosion, possibly made worse by development and climate change. It is a problem that is much more complicated then farmers wasting fertilizer.
Sure, if they can work around big government run by the capitalists. Worker owned businesses, co-ops, credit unions are all examples of the people owning the means of production/banking.
K5 was the first totally in-house designed AMD CPU and one of the first to do out of order execution, which is what these bugs exploit. Whether it is actually vulnerable would have to be tested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
You don't think there will be a Federal law stopping this if Comcast has any say? I understand quite a few States have been talked into banning municipal internet and the Federal government can rightly claim interstate commerce.
And yet there are lots of things that the scientists have consensus in. How does the Sun shine is an example, along with related things such as, is the Sun getting hotter. The scientific consensus is pretty strong that the Sun shines through nuclear reactions even though no one has actually gone to the core of the Sun and observed fusion happening. Likewise the consensus is pretty strong that the Sun is getting hotter even though the rate is so low at perhaps a 10th of a degree every million years that we can't measure it and I've seen conflicting claims varying by 100's of millions of years about when it will get to hot for the Earth to support advanced life as we know it.

The only way spending is going to be cut is if the voters demand it. As long as the spending can go on the credit card, why would the voters demand it?
That's right, much better to put it on the credit card. If you want to shrink government, make the taxes equal to expenditures. When taxes double or triple for everyone, you'll see a strong movement to shrink government.
Actually lately wars are put on the credit card, often like porn is, under a different name. The Iraqi war was a good example of this with the government actually giving tax breaks as upwards of a trillion dollars was spent on war. If at the start of the Iraqi war (or any war), the government said to the citizenry that we're invading Iraq and taxes have to go up to pay for it, there would have been one fuck of a lot of resistance to the war, same with if the government cut back other stuff to pay for it such as pensions.
Yea, that was the reason I picked pot smokers, non-violent and a less harmful substance then many over the counter drugs such as acetaminophen, which is consistently in the top 10 of child killing drugs or aspirin which also kills a surprising number of people
I'm sorry, but I really don't think you should be able to sue me over my kindergarten art work which is long lost. If you happen to have a copy, you are now free to share that work, but the idea that every work has to be kept sounds insane. If it is culturally important, there will be copies around that can be republished.
If I build a house, I can will it to my ancestors, it will remain ours in perpetuity unless sold at some point.
If you own a business, you can also pass it to your children, and great, great, great, grandchildren. Here are some veerrrryy old businesses: Baker's Chocolate (1765) Cigna Insurance (1792) JP Morgan Chase (1799) DuPont (1802) Colgate (1806) Citigroup (1812) Remington (1816) HarperCollins (1817)
How can these businesses be allowed to make money for over 200 years and yet copyright owners are forced to "donate" their work to the public after 100 years? Inventors have to give their work away after just 20 years... cha-ching for manufacturers who pay nothing for the expired patent for hundreds of years. Programmers don't get a royalty... their hiring companies profit from the product for decades and the programmers get some peanut salary and get kicked out when they turn 40 or 50. Scientists and mathematicians have it the worst... they get paid with just a job (and they get some paltry sum in a Nobel Prize).
This is systematic abuse of the intellectual class by the ruling class (government and big business). Anything short of perpetual right to the creators of these works is abuse and exploitation.
When is the government going to make these old businesses "public domain?"
Don't be daft, all those businesses have had to keep producing new stuff to stay in business. Do you really think that Bakers Chocolate made one very good piece of chocolate and is still being paid for it? Artists can do exactly the same thing, keep producing new stuff to continue to generate money. And just like anyone is free to make chocolate that looks and tastes just like Bakers Chocolate, any one should be free to copy an artists work. Don't want your chocolate or work of art copied, keep it secret and pass it on to your descendants.
People don't want to pay taxes so the cops have to concentrate on crimes such as pot smoking where they can invoke civil forfeiture to make sure of getting a pay check. This also leads to the cops not wanting to spend time on money losing endeavors such as taking their time at a hostage situation when they can just shoot the perp and save time and money including court costs and of course chasing after someone on the internet has no return on the investment. Related is the for profit prison industry, needed so taxes can be lowered, where they don't want violent criminals in their workshops, rather non-violent offenders who make better slave labourers.
Volume discounts are normal in most any business. Here there is network neutrality but it doesn't stop my ISP from doubling my bandwidth for 30% more cost even though I'd be using 2 households of regular bandwidth. Likewise the post office here gives deals if you buy a bunch of stamps at once. As long as they aren't playing favourites, it's neutral. Likewise as long as everyone who shows up with a thousand packages gets the same deal, it's neutral.
In 1707 England united with Scotland and became the country of Great Britain with a shared Parliament and government. I guess it depends on how you define country. I'm defining it as being under a government such as the Parliament of the UK which currently rules the nation of England or in other words, a political unit. Note that the UK isn't even a Federal setup where all the constitution parts have sovereignty of some type like where I live.
Don't be daft. Switching to metric does not mean having to retool most things. We did it i n Canada about 50 years back. Lumber mills still make 2x4's and 4x8 sheets of plywood, SAE tools are still sold. My Dad, a machinist, still used thous. Most factories have now changed over as equipment was replaced. The only things forced to change were things like commercial scales, gas pumps and new stuff like cars having speedometers in metric. Things like meat are advertised by the pound but sold by the kilo so people don't even have to think
