'd assume not. But I'm sure if it does someone will figure it out by examining the traffic.
I think examining the source code will yield the same results. From what I hear, it's very fast, they would have to have some pretty tricky code to report statistics without someone noticing. I'm not saying it cant be done, though.
Mr Buffett said that he was taxed at 17.7 per cent on the $46 million he made last year, without trying to avoid paying higher taxes, while his secretary, who earned $60,000, was taxed at 30 per cent.
What he doesn't mention is the 15+% corporate tax that was already taken out of his dividends before he received them.
Does that mean that their relationship with Mozilla will be ending?
2. Does it run on Linux?
3. Does it support Plugins?
4. Does it phone home and notify Google of important statistics, like what web pages I view, what ads I click, what products I buy, etc.
In the old days, restaurant owners who wanted to cheat kept two sets of books.
Anybody who is halfway decent at book cooking knows you keep three sets of books, not two.
Book 1: Shows you are loosing money, so you don't pay taxes.
Book 2: Shows you are making a lot of money, so the bank will give you a loan, or investors will invest in your company.
Book 3: Shows how much money you are really making.
Unfortunately they are claiming the project will take somewhere in the neighborhood of two years to complete.
Why will it take two years? Part of the problem is because they aren't made of paper. One of them is made of copper, and most of them are made of parchament, which is much more difficult to work with. Especially considering the age.
for a company that had a very small server room (like 5 machines). It was basically a closet with a slim style air conditioner in it. It kept the room quite cool. It was similar to a Mr. Slim. I have a hunch it will cost more than $800 though.
In my apartment in Shanghai I have a 5mbit symmetrical connection that is all-you-can-eat (i.e. unlimited traffic up and down per month). This costs me RMB 150 per month or about US$22.
Granted, there is no customer service whatsoever and when it falls over, I have to wait for the ISP (CNC) to realise and remedy.
In Beijing I pay the same but it is only a 2mbit symmetrical service, and also uncapped.
Not to mention it comes with a free firewall.

If you thought Vista was slow now, wait until it has to check with a DRM server to display ANYTHING!
I worked in IT for a summer when I was in college. The company's art department always needed much more powerful computers than the others. As I was setting the machines up, I discovered why they needed such fancy hardware. It was all the damn fonts! Those things made the machines so slow, it was ridiculous.
I told him that someone with no sense of humor is going to tell him to change the icons. Sure enough, he was told to change the icons so as to not potentially offend someone's religious faith.
It could be worse. At least you didn't have any Satanists working there.
Like that's ever stopped them before?...federal highway system...
The commerce clause can easily be interpreted to cover roads, same with the power grid. Your producing power in one state, and selling it in another. That's plainly interstate commerce.
Welfare, healthcare, and education are children of the 16th amendment. Once the IRS was created, the federal government obtained massive amounts of power by dangling money over the state's heads. It's essentially just a legal bribe. For example, if a state doesn't want to participate in "No Child Left Behind" it doesn't have to, but it loses massive amounts of federal funding.
The Act requires states to develop assessments in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades, if those states are to receive federal funding for schools.
Honestly, I expect something like that out of a Democratic President.
Offer cheap power to anyone who moves near the wind power farms.
If electric power can't come to the people, move people to the electric power.
You missed the whole point of the article! What happens on days when it's cloudy and the wind doesn't blow? It doesn't happen very often, but are you going to move across the country on that one or two days a year? That's the scenario TFA is talking about.
I can't believe that was modded "5 Informative." However, I can see how the statement could be made in jest. Shame on you Mods!
I'm generally a libertarian but this is one area where the federal government is going to have to get involved to get everybody on the same page. It's akin to the interstate highway system. Without the direct involvement and oversight of the federal government that never would have happened and this won't either.
I agree, generally I think the interstate commerce clause is abused, but this is a case where it will be applied as it was intended.
So, on some computers which (A) have been there for years, and (B) have no network connection over which to download virus signature updates, somehow miraculously that AV software would be up to date and able to recognize the newest trojans. I don't know what AV software that is, but I want it too;)
NOD32 claims to have that capability. Although, it would be safer and easier to require every storage device traveling to the ISS to be scanned with an up to date antivirus before going into space.
being able to digitally zoom an image by studying the image via the natural shaking of your hand...
That raises a good point. If these binoculars have a one second refresh rate, how does it compensate for the natural shaking of your hand? Will soldiers have to carry a tripod with them?
Honestly though, Why the hell dont the laptops have anti virus software? if they are going to run a OS that is targeted by the bulk of viruses out there then it's dumb to send it up without AV software installed.
It looks like Mark Shuttleworth might have to make another trip up there to drop off some Ubuntu disks.

They're using the rocket engines off of the drilling vehicle in Armageddon?
Not that I ever watched that movie. I just heard about it.

Our public school system has turned an entire generation into morons, who think being wrong is ok as long as they feel good about themselves.
You do know that "public school" means something completely different in the UK, don't you?

I agree. While I have adblock, you could have warned us about the video!

Does this mean music people paid for will no longer work because it can't connect to the iTunes DRM server?

The numbers are usually a rangefinder, very useful if you are sniper, or need an exact location to call in aerial support.

The first one could mean the scientist ruled out the amount of sunlight the area gets on average. (Oslo gets less sun than Palermo)
The second one means they took the pictures at various times in the day.
