While data caps cause a big issue, I don't see how asymmetric bandwidth is one. One million people with 1/30(highly asymmetric) connection is still ~1tb/s of peak bandwidth. A smart P2P protocol could use internet topology data to make more efficient use of local data links. P2P is about distributing a load instead of creating hot spots.
Anyway, guns provide a useful service just like how computer system security provides a useful service, even if hard to measure. You never know when you'll need them to put your out of control government back in its place.

I under-voltaged my ATI6950 gpu. When I manually set my fan speed to 50% and stress tested my GPU with protein folding, it use to reach ~70c at the stock 1.1v. Now I have it under-voltaged to 1.085v and it's peaking about ~64c.
" And before you say encrypted VPN, the technology already exists and is being used to detect and block encrypted traffic"
The internet, in most of the world, requires encrypted traffic to operate. They can't just block encrypted traffic without taking all of e-commerce, online banking, etc.
That's good IPv6 makes IP blocks cheap and plentiful. Also, IPv6 uses hierarchical routing, so blocking a given route would block everything else upstream. Also, because of hierarchical routing, IPs will be much more correlated with geographical locations, so blocking ranges may block large portions of a given country.
Laptops at my work can't have their BIOSs bypassed/cleared/etc. Once the security module is turned on, you're going to have to replace the motherboard if you want to use the computer. Not that they couldn't strip out the HD/memory/CPU/etc and ditch the rest.
You probably wouldn't gain anything. Passing data between your CPU and GPU has a high latency penalty. OpenVPN processes small amounts of data. You would need to probably buffer a few hundred KB before it would become worth it.
A GPU would be great for any large amounts of data, like a block device, but small packetized datastreams work best with super low latency instruction level acceleration.
If productivity increased 100%, at first net profit would drastically increase, but after a short while, supply would out-pace demand. Then prices would plummet, they would cut back jobs as there wouldn't be enough demand and warehouses filled with excess product.
At some point you will hit a limit of demand for the entire market. Once you hit that limit, you can either have several people work sub-8h4/day or one person working 8hr/day and the rest unemployed.
If everyone worked really hard, everyone would be RICH!!!.. ohhh wait.. I mean, everyone's time would be devalued, they would be working hard, but not getting compensated for it.
When people stop fighting and work together, you get a surplus of food/resources. This allows people who are not physically fit, but smart, to flourish.
Not letting people fall behind(aka die), has allowed us to have the new technologies that we use.
My nephew is in a house hold without much tech not to mention he's an outside kind of kid, but when he comes over and uses our computers, he needs to know how to spell to search youtube and stuff.
If they're just trying to claim that consuming water reduces the chance of dehydration, no matter how technical you get, it must be true.
If it is not true, then the opposite must be true.
Indirectly, the EU has stated that removing H2O from your diet will not increase your chance of dehydration. I feel so much better knowing that I can just purchase dehydrated foods. They last longer and pack better anyway. If this is the case, why do people in the desert fight over water so much. Idiots don't even know drinking water doesn't reduce the chance of dehydration.
Something is wrong with that page. My password was 12 chars and it claimed it can be cracked in 97,000 years, which averages out to 120bil operations/sec. That's an impressive desktop.
(92^12)/97000/365/24/60/60= ~120,192,006,927
If you don't use the full 92 char list, you'll probably miss one of my chars and never break it.
The other problem to that is USA law also requires communication of sensitive data to be encrypted, which requires open access to encryption standards.

"in the case of P2P, most of their use is for illegal things"
Blizzard using P2P for World of Warcraft, Starcraft2, and upcoming D3, instantly makes illegal purposes a minority. :P
Probably not, but it sounds cool.
Sounds like you're willing to pay someone to move and find them a new job with an argument like that.

Yay, breaking the internet.

My guess anyway.
Nutshell: While there may be no biological gap for the math potential, the may be a biological bias to what we find fun/interesting.
Slow news? This could be massive news, but we're not sure yet.
I was wondering this to and I also recently saw a documentary on Netflix involving a large sodium 3m sphere.

APU market is small, desktop market is big. AMD's APUs compete in both markets.
Pretend you went back 15 years ago and tried selling a dual core desktop CPU. You could claim you're doing well in the multi-core desktop market.
With multi-core CPUs, just because you can't reach 100% usage doesn't mean your not CPU limited.

Ketchup is means to compliment the main flavor, not be the main flavor. When I use BBQ sauce, I can't taste anything else.
I read that even though SUVs are on average safer to be in for a crash, they are on average less safe to be in for accidents in general.
where crashes are a subset of accidents.

Blind and deaf, that's impressive. Should one be walking around with that kind of disability combo?
