Currently just a little bit South of St. Matthew's (behind which we'll hide from the blow Tue night). We use KVH. Although the connection my employer purchased isn't as fast as what you want, it's been the fastest, most reliable service I've encountered so far. Their site says they sell 2/1M for land based use, so perhaps you could get two of 'em. Their coverage map includes South America.
It's my understanding that NMEA 2000 devices communicate over their power connection, but they are generally in fairly close proximity to one another. When I think of building myself a house, I think of putting the wiring in channel conduit set into grooves routed into the interior surface of ICF/AAC walls, so "You'd have to run a wire and nobody's going to do that" wasn't in my mind.
When I see actual things with the ability to talk to each other, the universal option always seems to be CANbus (or a variant, like NMEA 2000). Chung-Wei Lin and Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli of UC Berkeley have this proposal for implementing CANbus with security. If I'm going to automate something in my home, I'd rather use CANbus so I can just buy the stuff that does the tasks.
Rockstar is 32 patent trolls? You'd probably only need to kill 10 of 'em and the rest would run away. 15% of the members of the world's population would probably be willing to do that for less than 10% of the money involved.
What if they timed the announcement of their discovery, thinking the news might propagate better on Halloween? Perhaps they hope for extra investors who see television coverage that happens because the story is too cute not to pick up.
I think there's a reason for this. Games, like movies, have a lot of different offerings in the same basic "I want to spend time being entertained" category of human endeavor. With most software, you don't even care about the reviews unless you are first interested in the task that the software enables. Once you are, then a visit to the search engine quickly puts you in touch with some valuable opinions, and it's ok that they're fragmented all over the place, because search generally works, once you're interested in acquiring software to enable some particular task.
If Amazon is winning on price by offering free shipping, why not, instead of price fixing books, make a law requiring anyone who ships a product to pass along the cost of the packaging and the exact amount they are charged by the shipping company. That would limit some of Amazon's advantage unless they invest heavily in France by building their own freight network there.
I think the growth rate of Amazon's customer base is faster than the growth rate of humanity, so there's an end point. Once everyone who might buy some manufactured deliverable item has the opportunity to buy it from Amazon, and Amazon is fairly competitive in selling most of the items that a member of any attention-worthy group of people buys on a regular basis, then the growth should slow down to a point where profitability will ensue.
However, if the company were to grow forever, then the value of shares of the company would grow forever. People don't have to speculate that some day the shares will pay dividends if they are instead speculating that Amazon will make wise enough use of the money so as to build more Amazon which gives more value to the shares. In fact, since dividends are taxed as income and increased share value is taxed as capital gains, infinite growth might actually be better than dividends. After it splits a few times, you can sell off
a few percent of your holdings, confident that the remainder will continue to grow.
If Amazon made bad decisions with the money they get for the stock and lacked both profitability and growth, that would be a problem, but so far, it looks like they're making good enough decisions that those parts of the company that aren't growing are profitable.
Mr. Wei doesn't seem to me to be upset about Amazon being on the path it's on. He seems to me to be pretty admiring of it. Also, I don't think Amazon is aiming at monopoly. I think they're aiming at ubiquity. You don't need to make obscene profits on any single item if you sell everything to everyone. As he said in the blog post, all Amazon will need to do to be really profitable is to stop expanding once they're done becoming as pervasive as it's possible for them to become. I reckon they've got a long ways to go yet.
Glycol is better in non phase change cooling loops as it has a higher specific heat. However, using cold sea water to condense refrigerants is very common. One nice way would be with Alpha Laval plate heat exchangers (or the Indian copies), and a hypochlorite generator on the sea water side to control (kill) the marine life internal to the apparatus.
How about China signs a deal with Antigua to build and run (on Antigua's behalf) a software company there. China supplies lots of smart reverse engineers who churn out inter-operable competing products to popular USA software. After paying China back for their investment, and paying the engineers at USA rates, once Antigua has made their $21M in profit, they show that they won't be making any more profit on their competing software by releasing its source. I don't think selling American weapons IP to the Chinese would work very well without espionage - if the Chinese can manage to learn the design, they've already copied what they want from it.
While I generally agree with you, I think it's worth looking at the example given by electronic chart programs. They all make you click on a "The prudent mariner will have properly updated paper charts" notice on startup. Once they learned about the publisher's advertising, the developers could make a "notice to idiots" one has to acknowledge on startup saying something like "99.9% of phones made in 2013 don't have the hardware to broadcast on the 457kHz avalanche transceiver band, and this app doesn't trigger that radio in any phones that do have that capability." You could make an option to turn the notice off buried in a setting submenu that idiots won't make the effort to find, but then it'd be good to make enabling the notice part of "activation" to circumvent a publisher selling the program with the notice disabled by default.
If the first 695 is spent on gathering more data and generating a list of people to have the opportunity to participate in the final trial, and the final (5 million euro) trial is the one where people's children actually get injected with something new. That final trial might be considered the riskiest.
Unreliable as mangled baby ducks, the drives are way over priced, and the manufacturer's people treat their customers like painful rectal itch... this was easily predictable
If manufacturers are making life hard for developers with fragmentation, couldn't developers fight back with a standard? If they agreed on one, then they could publish the standard and start labeling their apps "Works with any phone that supports appTastic" (or some other advertising friendly standard name) If enough popular apps jumped on that bandwagon, then phone manufacturers would make phones that comply and start advertising "Supports appTastic!" so that consumers would know that their favorite apps would work on that phone.
I have no interest in telling parents what's best for their kids. Kids don't need protection from me, because I have no interest in bringing them harm. What I have said is that I, a non-parent feel no obligation or responsibility to donate my personal resources to people who have chosen parenthood. Regulating and raising their children is their business. We seldom cross paths. When I encounter people's children, I afford them the same tolerance and respect as I do any other living human. It's not their fault that their parents added to the over population of the planet. I do tend to avoid children, though. Being single and male, I'm too vulnerable to accusations by idiots of intending harm. Mostly I just keep to myself and vote against taxes that only benefit parents.
As for my mom, she's 79 and I'm 48, so she's well aware of my lack of interest in parenting or paying for other people's parenting. Being solitary, when I come in from my job at sea, I spend more time visiting my parents than do my siblings, and my parents are glad of my company.
Incidentally, selfish person that I am, I've spent about $50k each on helping out my siblings who are parents, but more because they're my siblings than because they are parents. How much have you spent on helping out other parents? Let me guess,... all your resources must need go to your children, because ensuring the success of your genetic line is really a higher calling than helping any other living humans.
From Wikipedia "The fourth/fifth generation Kindles, Kindle Touch, Kindle Touch 3G, and Kindle Paperwhite can display AZW, TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, and PRC files natively." My recollection is that the original Nook supported more formats than the original Kindle, but strangely, I didn't find mention of supported formats in the Wikipedia Nook article. I could search further elsewhere, but so could you.
So long as the other publisher doesn't also produce hardware, I think chances are good that they won't have DRM restricting their product to particular hardware. I suppose that if they want to have DRM, what they'll do is have a reader application, and you'll have to read their content on a laptop or a tablet, rather than on a dedicated ebook reader that can't run 3rd party software. For myself, when I'm reading electronically transmitted erotica, I'm almost always reading something I found for free in a browser window on my laptop.
Many comment threads relating to this story came across like a store that does a lot of business selling ebooks deciding not to carry a certain kind is similar to bricks and mortar stores doing that back when physical proximity actually restricted access. By showing the results of a quick search, I provided direct evidence that this is not the case.
So far as the control of minors is concerned, that's the business of parents. I am not a parent, and I don't consider that adding more people to an already overpopulated planet is beneficial, so when others choose to undertake this profound responsibility, it's their hobby, not mine. Whoever you are, the world will get along well enough without the continuation of your genetic line. If you choose to stroke your ego by making children anyways, you regulate 'em, and you pay for 'em.

I think the "guns" BS was related to her husband. He was convicted of something once.

Does this, somehow, help?
Unfortunately, it seems that over time there's less of the former and more of the latter.
If your employer knows that you're good at the task everyone hates, and willing to do it without a fuss....
I think I might need a motor on it if I had my hands full of groceries. Thanks for the link.
I keep hearing about how they'll but the door in. Doesn't anyone make decent doors anymore?
