I would agree with you, but then again I've lost the charging cable for several phones in the past. When companies refuse to standardise their connections (MicroUSB on all mobile phones please. Support charging by USB. That is all.) you get stuck with a very pretty paperweight, or the cost of a proprietary cable.
Now, I only buy phones with MicroUSB connections. If I didn't need to worry about that for charging (this wireless charging tech), then I wouldn't need a cable at all. I can connect over Wireless LAN / PAN connections to manage files and content.
So you're fine with promoting yet another model of artificial scarcity to promote sales of media which can be duplicated and distributed for next to no cost whatsoever?
Let me guess, next will be loaned digital music from the library. I actually wouldn't mind that, apart from two points:
1. I don't have the original copy of the work. There are an infinite number of copies available, the artificial limit just needs to be removed. 2. The media is on my device, and without that artificial scarcity they would be free to distribute copies to the point that the charge of lending a copy against the percentage reimbursement for the original material becomes 0.
This is the old way of distributing media, when scarcity was because there was physically no more of the media made. Now, it is easy to duplicate and share. It's something they need to get their head around and adapt to, not butcher and lock down just to keep their coffers full.
Pay no attention to those vendor-padded stats. Make up your own!
"T-Mobile can guarantee 0Mb/s in areas with no reception, and 0Mb/s in areas with reception unless you are connected to a tower which isn't saturated, in which case you may get greater than 0Mb/s!"
If those particular Mormons want to spread a message of religious intolerance and hatred, yes. Note that other Mormons wouldn't be affected. Further, you'll note that other Christians condemn this action. This place is becoming as infamous as Westboro' Southern Baptist.
It's their service to do with as they please. They can get a new ISP / host.
The only reason this is news is because of the link to religious fanaticism. Otherwise, it's a business terminating a contract for breach of that agreement. Not even worth a bootnote.
Hi there! I hear you want to use borrow a megaphone to spread your word more clearly to people around you. Ok, sure, but you can't use it to shout out religious hatred, ok? You can shout that out on your own, by all means, but not using my megaphone.
Hey, I heard you've been using my megaphone to shout out messages of religious hate. I'll be having that back now.
See? He can carry on screaming about burning the Quran all he wants. Just not on Rackspace's services.
Ok, smartypants. Which one of the jailbreaks listed requires you to open up the casing of your iPhone or iPod and remove a chip, bridge a track, or otherwise physically alter the device in any other way than by pressing keys at a specific time or running some specific app?
These are software exploits. They're locked down at the software level. It's low level software (bootloader), but it's still software.
Distributed. Hash. Tables. Taking down tracker sites is irrelevant now. DDoS'ing P2P clients in itself is stupid, as there are millions of them.
Just who the hell are they going to attack? The entire internet?! Or is this going after smaller groups on outdated centralised neworks? In which case, well done on giving those guys (the only ones you could actually catch with a significant haul) the incentive to move into the 21st century and totally decentralise.

I'd probably like this tech.
No, it's just the cops who showed up had magnetic decals to make their regular car look like a cop car. They're accomplices.
Hey, I suppose you're right...
My workplace at least blocks Coral cache as an anonymising proxy. No doubt others do too.

Plausible deniability?
I guess to him, some things are worse than federal prison. That in itself should tell you that the world should pay attention to these documents.

Similar in the UK. However, if the Queen decides not to go with the advice of Parliament, they'll dissolve the monarchy.
She really is just a face on the stamp with a short speech at Christmas, now. Still, I suppose the current way beats Feudalism.

There! That's much more useful, isn't it.

Right now, the only thing the iPhone has over the Desire is Angry Birds. Moblox just isn't the same.

Most BitTorrent DHT implementations are based on Kademlia.

Is there some way we can get both XML and violence into this situation? They somehow seem appropriate...
Wrap your Cat5 in a coil made of the power lead to your PC, then turn your PC on. Tell me it's immune to EM interference using that computer.
If it catches fire, that counts as "successfully blocked signal".
They would indeed be impervious to the jamming effects of EM interference.
However, unlike EM waves, they are totally at the mercy of buckshot.
