Yeah! Splitting up telcos into different local monopolies is going to help us. My town just got fiber in some areas, and only after a lengthy fight with the local government telco people over franchise agreements. If you want to help enter the 21st century, kill all of those franchise agreements. It's a start.
It's not size, it's population density, and South Korea is king. Just wiring Seoul alone would give them very fast speeds in comparison with the rest of the world.
Meanwhile, Japan is very densely populated, making the roll out of fiber very fast as compared to, say, the US or EU (though the EU, at least the western half, beats the US IIRC).
There are fixed costs of operation that will be in place no matter the speeds. For all we know, the lower tier bill could be mostly to cover fixed costs.
If I choose to live in the middle of nowhere, Alaska, does it apply to me? Why should they pay for my choice to live in the boonies? It's just promoting more sprawl.
The TSA is the real terrorist organization. Not only does it daily engage in ever more intrusive searches, it has gotten into what essentially amounts to daily sexual assault on a grand scale. Then, it has the gall to tell the now quivering masses of passengers that these measures are required to keep out the terrorists. Ha! Those methods make them the terrorists!
The original Kinect did its processing in hardware, IIRC. I believe that they cut that out due to the cost of it all. Check out the Open Kinect group on Google Groups; there's a good bit of information to be found, and more in the IRC chatroom.
Using that term could also mean you want to not interfere with the economy, bu you could also want to do things like ban gay marriage, drugs, etc. Socially liberal is the term I've always heard used. Welfare and the like would be economically liberal.
No, they gave out about 90k to their own people. The 40k is actual sales. The iPhone sells about 5-6 times that on a regular day, so they're not off to a good start.
Way to bring politics into a thread about supercomputers!
Now, to politics.... Being a fan of neither large party, I can smugly sit here and point out both of the sides' failings while you and the inevitable others argue which of the two sides is unfit to rule. Sadly, both sides have me convinced the other side sucks.
Yet it powers most of the top 500 supercomputers and can run on embedded platforms. If that's poor scalability, I want to know what's good scalability.
My cousin uses limewire. How do I know? I was called in to remove the layers of viruses, Trojans, and rootkits from the machine. As soon as I saw that Limewire was on the machine, I knew this was a lost cause.
Not in my experience. Crappy drivers and crappy software continue to exist, and they can kill your OS just as before. Windows is certainly more stable than before, but I still have to fix BSODs on other people's machines.
Copyright is technically temporary, but far as the holder is concerned, it may as well be forever. IIRC it's currently life + 99 years in most countries.

20? You surely mean 40 or even older. Even my grandparents use the Internet for this sort of thing! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get off your lawn.
Meanwhile, the value of the book itself has declined; we can just go online for this stuff now.

This is one of the things they changed when making Oblivion. Even I, a Morrowind purist, liked this change.
Or listen to the Velvet Underground instead!
But once they got there, all it took was a nice fire to make drinkable water. Plus, there were already people there when they got there.

The Kin and, so far, WP7 have been flops.
They are selling fairly poorly, so far anyways. ~40k on launch, less than either the iPhone or Android based phones on a regular day.
There are more Americans than there are Europeans who live in a country that gets Spotify. Plus, this is a US site.

A quad core desktop is overkill for TV duty. Electricity isn't free, after all, and I haven't gotten around to the HTPC project.
