Verizon didn't use 'unlimited'. Being a FIOS customer myself I just checked and no where does the word 'unlimited' appear on the service description, the ToS, or their marketing. My plan literally says "FiOS Internet Speeds Up to 35 Mbps/35 Mbps".
GNU/Linux is not a OS. Android is an OS, Debian is an OS, Ubuntu is an OS, Arch Linux is an OS. When you make a distro feel free to call it IRWolfie GNU/Linux if you want.
I think his point was that small business use parcel services to deliver packages (USPS, UPS, Fedex, etc) the same thing will happen with this. They will use a tax service, or their accountant will use a sale tax service, it will be come a cost of doing business just like any other regulation (and every regulation is argued as being an unreasonable cost when it is first debated). Typing in a zip code maybe all that is required by such a sales tax calculation service from the end user.
Totally agree. Since this is a "for the common good" resource. The government should have bidders propose development plans and award the spectrum to the bidder who proposes developing services at the lowest cost for the consumer. If the winner violates the terms then the spectrum is reclaimed and rebid. If the government want to make revenue from the spectrum they can just add a tax to devices/plans that use it. That would ensure that whoever gets the spectrum is doing it at the lowest cost to the taxpayers. A regular auction that just drives up the price ends up screwing the taxpayer because the spectrum owner is going to just reclaim the costs from consumers.
I don't know about regularly. I've been using Arch on my laptop, and a few servers, and only the laptop has ever been broken by an update and really it was only KDE that was broken, it was fixed shortly after. If you do encounter a broken package it is easy to just rollback to a previous package with pacman.
Even the recent transition from init scripts to systemd went perfectly fine for Arch and I had fully expected that one to hose my laptop install (it didn't).
That being said if I had to choose between a 128kbps unlimited connection, and a 20mbps connection with a 38.6GiB cap on it, I would much prefer the faster connection
Chromium runs each tab as a separate process. It is easy to identify which processes are using audio.
In Linux you can easily identify individual Chromium tabs using sound by using `lsof | grep snd` . Try it. Open bunch of slashdot tabs and then open one youtube tab and play a video with sound then kill that PID, it should only kill the youtube video.
Wrong posts deserve no moderation. Wrong (meaning factually wrong) posts with positive moderation should get modded "overrated" as a correction and meta-mods should appropriately rate the misguided positive moderations. In the case of your Great-grand-parent post it could be reasonably argued that you were flamebaiting with your factually incorrect post as well.
Nothing wrong with you being modded down when your wrong. I bought an original retail copy of half-life and was able to enter the CD-key when Steam went live. Never had to rebuy the game at all.
The reason for this is because VDOT doesn't seem to be able to make proper merges at yield signs that actually allow a safe 'merge' at normal speed.
Also from page 6 of the Virginia DMV drivers manual. Emphasis mine.
Triangle (Yield): You must slow down as you
come to the intersection. Be prepared to stop.
Let any vehicles, pedestrians or bicyclists safely
pass before you proceed.
It is often necessary to stop because of the aforementioned lack of safe merges.
The US has the first-sale doctrine. The first sale doctrine doesn't say that the company selling you the good has to enable or help you resell. It just says that they can't prevent you from reselling using legal means (i.e. lawsuits, injunctions, etc).
I welcome this change. As someone who uses a credit card almost anywhere that will take one I think it is very pro consumer to have transparency in what the use of it costs. I also think it is unfair for cash users to subsidize credit card users. As long as store publish the rate I think the end result will be actual competition by Visa, MC, and AMEX if say I get charged $0.15c a swipe for Visa and $0.32 for AMEX and AMEX loses business/swipes over it they may lower their rates.
Also you are already paying for these charges is just a "hidden cost". The more transparent these kinds of charges are, the better.
I haven't seen anything that says the AR15 used was loaded with.22LR. Everything I've seen says its.223 which likely means its the 5.56x45 NATO there in the middle of your picture and not the "pipsqueek".22LR on the far right. The.22LR and 5.56x45 NATO have the same diameter round, one is a hell of a lot more powerful than the other.
So, citation please on this bushmaster.223 (AR-15) firing.22LR, because I'm fairly sure it fires 5.56x45 NATO.
"Vast toolbox of applications" on Windows 7 doesn't include 7zip? 7zip is like the first program I install after drivers when I'm doing a clean install of Windows, which is, imho, the best archiving tool available for Windows.
I'm not sure how a self updating program that the user installs in $HOME compromises security. I mean the the user can read and write there $HOME and the program has permission to open network sockets. It doesn't really need anything else, and thousands of other programs have this same permission. For what its worth this is the same update mechanism that Valve has been using for HLDS and SRCDS for almost a decade and it works great on a wide variety of distros and it certainly doesn't compromise security (not anymore than any self updating package your trusting a maintainer with). They push out updates for the DS code and it is immediately available to all users on all platforms without waiting for package maintainers.
Arch Linux is awesome. Steam will work find as I can tell your running HLDS and SRCDS on Arch works great, and there updating tools work great. You dont' even have to fiddle with pacman or AUR to get it to work,
Steam on linux doesn't install to system directories. The update method is similar to updating HLDS or SRCDS which have valve created update tools that work across dozens of distros. Everything the apps need to run is provided by the steam updater, and can be installed and run by the user where ever they please.
The system they have works well. Half-Life DS and Source DS also use Valve created update tools and people run those servers on dozens of distros with out the need to wait for maintainers to update package repositories.
Not everything in a linux distro needs to be installed with a package repo. I mean you could just download the tarball from their website and run it. For what its worth, the update method is similar to how Half-Life Dedicated Server and Source Dedicated Server are updated and it works well.
Without knowing other things, like the median 'smartness' of the set of 25% smartest in the population of China, and how that compares to the 'smartness' of the population of the US, the statistic is meaningless.

Java 6 and 7 are both GPL'd with OpenJDK. Nothing says you have to use Oracle's JRE/JDK.
It was a MasterCard advertisement......

128kbps for 30 days is 38.6GiB.

I'm liking the idea of using ZFS on an Arch BSD system, also I agree, pacman is awesome.
You need to use ZFS On Linux, which runs as a kernel module. ZFS-FUSE is the other Linux implementation which runs in user-space.
