I think content publishers and creators are significantly more threatened by the value of old IP compared to new ones. Trying to compete with a massive back catalogue must appear daunting, despite intervening advances in technology and fashion. If anything, it seems like the prevailing strategy in software is to promote consumption of new content by forcing the unavailability of older content through IP enforcement. Aside from projects like GOG, I rarely see feature-sufficient older works maintained or sold even though the incremental cost to do so seems low after limiting support.
This is an old and invalid argument. According to US census data, almost 60% of americans live in population centers larger than 200k people, and most of those already have fiber infrastructure nearby for other reasons. Population density is not a valid reason we can't enjoy good networking infrastructure in large-ish cities.
I think this new board does ~1.3TF of double-precision (FP64), whereas the Radeon 7970 does about 947MF, which, while not double, is a significant increase (radeon 7970 src, titan src). They also state the theoretical FP32 performance is 3.79 TF for radeon 7970, which is lower than the number you gave. Maybe yours is OC, I didn't check that.
tl;dr version, FP64 performance is 37% better on this board.
Hi. If you mean held for by the government in that they manage and regulate it, then yes. That's what they're supposed to do. If you mean to imply that only the government uses it, then you're amazingly misinformed. Here's a chart that shows the usage allocation of US spectrum. The narrow bar under the spectrum indicates the primary user (commercial-only, government-only, shared)

Safe harbor provisions were exactly what I wanted to mention, and also as you mentioned, you have to be acting in good faith which may be hard to prove. What business or technical need is satisfied for legitimate users of the technology by proxying through peers? Proxying is only more useful for obfuscation as it is less efficient for actual data transfer (limited now by relay speed as well, increased complexity with a need for intelligent proxy selection). Maybe for NAT bypass, but that's about it, and it only needs 1 extra hop. For everything else, IP already does routing perfectly. Because of this, I don't see the necessary legitimate "cover traffic" arising, only infringing users will have this feature running.
If you have that many tor routers, chances are you have access to enough information to perform packet timing based searches for the machine hosting the hidden service, which, in my opinion is a much less destructive and less wasteful use of one's resources. I also suspect you would only need a much more reasonable number (maybe 10k-100k) of servers.
You still need a phone line to tie to gvoice. A land line number can have a maximum of 2 gvoice accounts attached to it, a mobile one only 1. Unless there's a way to get free POTS-resolvable phone numbers I don't know about, the problem stands for families with a single land line.
Hasn't receipt validation been around about as long as in-app iOS purchases? You'd think more people would do it since there is money involved and it isn't particularly complicated.
I think the parents, being ultimately responsible for the health and safety of their offspring, should be allowed to make whatever (possibly ignorant) choices they feel necessary, up to the point where it endangers public safety. The parents who lose children to preventable diseases are probably already miserable from their choices. If you think that's too light, charge the parents with negligence/child abuse/manslaughter for which they can spend some jail time.
While we're completely off topic, I'll chime in. Cast iron has a better thermal conductivity than stainless steel, but much worse than copper or aluminum, which is why those hybrid-bottomed pots & pans are so popular (I have some Calphalon pans, they're really nice). I prefer my cast iron cookware when I want to sear something because it has a higher thermal mass than any of my other cookware so it is much more temperature stable. It also gives cornbread a nice crust.
I'm not sure a piece of extruded plastic can compete with that, but here's an important note: A form that is functional is not patentable. This goes for clothes, cars, etc. If you are making replacement/repair aluminium extrusions that are 80/20-compatible for your own use, I rather doubt 80/20 Inc can do a lot about that.
Of course, I am not a lawyer so I might be completely wrong about that.
There isn't an easy answer to your question. In general, bufferbloat is when you get latency or jitter issues because some network device upstream of you has a large buffer, which it fills before it starts dropping your packets. The dropped packets is how software relying on TCP is notified of network congestion so it knows to throttle back. Other protocols may be affected differently (you might notice VoIP delay or bad lag on your xbox).
To combat this, the idea is to limit your traffic in buffers you control which are (typically) smaller than your ISP and modem's buffers so the ISP ones stay empty and highly interactive. In general, this means limiting your data rates to lower than your bandwidth and prioritizing packets by interactivity requirements. The linux kernel additions in 3.3 allow you to set your buffer size smaller for the entire interface with the goal being to reduce the delay induced by the linux router/bridge. It also adds the ability to prioritize traffic and limit buffers by cgroup (which is like a process categorization or pool which has certain resource limits), but this isn't particularly helpful in your forwarding situation.
For my own QoS setup, I usually use a script similar to this HTB one. It requires some tuning and getting your queue priorities right requires some understanding of the traffic going through your network. A lot of high level netfilter tools (smoothwall, dd-wrt, etc) have easier to use tools QoS tools which may better suit your purposes. Having not used one, I'm not in a position to recommend them.
I think the problem is the particles and energy are collimated, travelling in the same direction the Alcubierre wave front, kind of like a laser. It's probably going to hit something, someday. This Mass Effect 2 quote comes to mind.

I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire this husk of metal, it keeps going till it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you're ruining someone's day, somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your damn targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a damn firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Chung, we do not "eyeball it!" This is a weapon of mass destruction. You are not a cowboy shooting from the hip! Second Recruit: Sir, yes sir!

More likely than not they would defend themselves with logs like a black box flight recorder. Self-driving automobiles are uniquely capable of handling the problem of determining the other party is at fault. They are loaded down with sensors including gps, proximity, video, and laser rangefinding. With appropriate data capture and logging, it should be very easy to demonstrate fault in many cases (assuming you can disprove tampering).
It is a much greater issue when the automatic driver is at fault, but this could be largely mitigated if insurance companies jump on board. An automatic driver is potentially much safer than a person who can be distracted, tired, or drunk and it seems to be in the insurance company's best interest to support such things. It just has to be demonstrated that these cars are safer than human drivers.

Q. How much does it cost to launch a Space Shuttle?
A. The average cost to launch a Space Shuttle is about $450 million per mission.
http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/delheavy.htm
Delta IV Heavy ... Launch Price $: 254.000 million in 2004 dollars in 2002 dollars.

Atlas V Heavy ... US $130 M
According to this article HP wants 430 USD for it. Good guess.

It's far more useful on not-particularly-hostile territories like say, domestic surveillance.
