We're talking about equipment which even at aviation specs isn't going to be very expensive. The extra phone operators the airline hired to deal with the fallout could probably have paid for it...
After the 9/11 transponder shit we should have learned something, sure rewiring the existing transponders would present lots of cost and risk... but installing a new separate system designed to be relatively low power so it could run on batteries would not.
And when their patents run out I'm sure we'll see some great thing. I'm pretty sure things like partly optical domain QPSK encoding/decoding could be miniaturized and commoditized right now... yeah the necessary photonic devices are complex and bleeding edge, but not as bleeding edge as the processes Intel uses for it's commodity processors.
Patents are probably the biggest reason why Intel uses this many fibers rather than more intelligent signalling.
Rosin cored solder can spit, when you tap the soldering iron to get excess solder off you might bump into something on the upswing... control is an illusion, you are confusing luck with the ability to avoid the long tail.
With the value of labour dropping through the floor due to automation, globalization and peak consumption that would just be a one way ticket to feudalism... well unless you have some kind of progressive consumption tax.
It has hurt their commitment to PC gaming almost from the very start... and recently even their graphics development was at a standstill until management finally realized D3D being replaced by Mantle/OpenGL was not an option.
Tablets/phones have similarly weakened their development of the real windows. Why don't we have a capability based security system in Windows? Why don't we have an appstore for non metro apps? Why didn't they use real windows and x86 for their tablets?
Even if they didn't need a warrant to use the device they were still breaking the law with the unwarranted search of the home (highest law of the land in fact). Also you do need a warrant for a pen register, government just doesn't have to prove probable cause. In conclusion, the rapist is going to walk because some members of the police decided to be stupid pigs.
Business method patents say otherwise... of course business method patents are the worst form of patents (then design patents, then software patents third and then hardware patents).
"Oh, so scholastic achievement is tied to genetics now?"
Yes.
"Well, now that it's settled we can just test them at birth and throw all the 'D' students off a cliff."
No, it's still valuable to society and themselves that they learn to near the best of their abilities... demotivating them by consistently showing them up as being near the bottom of some list doesn't help in that regard.
Is your perspective the one from someone who did his very best and still ended up on the bottom? Or from the perspective of a lazy bum who got good grades regardless, like most of us here?
It might work for selective education for the higher aptitude schools, but for comprehensive schools or the lower aptitude schools it's just going to demotivate those battling genetics and losing.
Money is power... and people are very good at rationalizing how hanging on to their power is in everyone's best interest even when it isn't. By creating this political ruling class of the uber rich we are simply rebuilding feudalism.
Well if those companies want to have completely control and just add IP address ranges willy nilly without dealing with admins of their providers it becomes impossible, maybe just more for political reasons than technological but that doesn't really matter.
So I say fine... if they don't want to let the providers do ingress filtering for them, just make it mandatory for the companies to have egress filtering on their network (with fines for non compliance/due diligence). If there are real financial risks the technical objections will probably quickly disappear though and they'll gladly let their providers handle it.
It would be hard to do ingress filtering by the backbones for those larger companies, but the companies can surely do egress filtering at each edge of their networks... just a question of sufficient (financial) incentives.
Most of the internet edge could be ingress filtered by the core, the rest should do it's own egress filtering.
Exactly... is there some perverse incentive at work which makes backbones not try to implement ingress/egress filtering at the internet edge?
AFAICS it would be trivial for them to require it through new contracts, put some fines on not implementing it and all this disappears... I'm sure there are some owned computers on core networks but I doubt the owners would want to expose them on a vindictive DDOS attack.

I don't think the free market is in and of itself very good at allocating finite resources, rent seeking is a fundamental problem which it can not deal with. The purest implementation of anarcho-capitalism which has ever existed was feudalism.
Progressiveness is more about public charity... ie. putting people through college even if the economic benefits to that person will never outweigh the costs.
The justification for public charity is the publicly granted privilege of enclosure BTW.

Ugh, took a look at what you meant with those pillars and that's god awful.
Guess when we have enough moronic SUV drivers in my country we have the same thing to look forward to :/ One more reason to hate them.

There are bubbles and then there are bubbles, valuations like that are on the level of bitcoin ... not FTSE.
Inflation is not a sufficient explanation for the current tech bubble.

DirectX has handles, Mantle probably has pointers ... that's where I think much of the speed will come from.
You're bisexual?

Australia is the one getting fucked here ... Australia has a trade surplus AND a current account deficit, they're a colony not a country.
At least the USA gets shit for free, you've been running a trade deficit for 4 decades.
Scientist is an occupation, not a title ... a data scientist is mostly just misnamed, regardless of PhD.

All it takes is to kick those handful of sites off the internet and problem solved.

If you just dont give a fuck about weight or efficiency you can put CVT on it, which would pretty much give them all the gears.
