in my town in NL, it is 39,95 euro for 100/100 Mbps, no caps, no limits.
The speeds are real (my torrents dl/ul with those speeds).
Triple play is 56.50. Local collective, non profit.
"Unfortunately this type of quality reporting was dead even before the internet came along."
Maybe in the USA (I would not know) but this is not true everywhere. In my country (NL), there are still several newspapers which do all those things you mention. They do not have it easy financially but they do not compromise too much and I think (well I hope) that their base of faithful readers will let them survive. And I do believe that the fast-news-skimming generation will be interested in in depth reporting when they are older. But they should make their content available in e-reader format in the short term.
well as you say, it was used out of spec. So I imagine they could deploy and hope it would work or not deploy at all. With the latter option the lives would be lost anyway. Not saying they could not have done better (but who is "they"). If I remember correctly there was a lot of phooha around those Patriot batteries, my country (NL) sent one to Israel. That's politicians and their following media making a stance and not be concerned about facts.
yes and no. I can see this to fail in both the European Court of Justice and in the European Court of Human Rights (for non Europeans: the first is the EU "supreme court", the other is continent wide, voluntary and treaty based.) However it will take maybe 5 but more likely 10 years before a resolution comes out of those. In my country (the Netherlands) treaties take precedence above national law, and our constitution is just a piece of paper (no constitutional court, laws can't be checked by courts against the constitution). Add to that that we always want to be the teachers favorite pupil so we will enforce ACTA for many years.
no, this is clearly a copyright infringement of data belonging to the army. So send in the RIAA!
(I would prefer the Spanish Inquisition but that silly BHO outlawed torture).
would they not better of banning all computers?
And while we're at it, all those horrible machines.
It was much more fun when you could chop someones arms off and the good sport would say: "it is just a flesh wound"!
hmm, not so happy about your sig. Especially because "The One 'leader'" as you call it made it clear that he can't do anything on his own. But being from Europe I am perhaps a bit oversensitive about people who don't understand a thing about that part of history.
So when I buy a car in the EU instead of having the factory built radio, are they going to have 3rd pardy radios installed in it as well?
If someone made a case out of it, then probably yes.
Tied selling is not allowed in most and probably all EU countries if it restricts competition. The remedy would of course not be that the other radios are installed but that you can choose another without a penalty.
Does this count as a car analogy, b.t.w.?
well, after you install IE7 you first get a setup screen asking which search engine you want as default (a list of the better known ones, but with the option "define your own"). They could easily run something like that during Windows installation for browsers. And no, you don't need IE to download another browser. But for the bandwidth impaired they could easily put all the current ones on the DVD (soon out of date however).
the guy who will be seen as having the most merit will be the guy who spends the most time at the coffee machine sucking up to the boss. Which will probably be the American (in the sense that it will be easier for them, not that they like to suck more).
Problem solved.
the Bundeswehr is the army of postwar Germany. The army during the war was called Wehrmacht. As the Bundeswehr did not take over the traditions of the Wehrmacht, the distinction is quite important.

I gave up too early, got scared when I saw silverlight. Thanks for the tip, I watched the whole thing and it was worth the time.

can't watch it, it needs silverlight.
ah, reminds me of Ringworld!

actually, according to Anandtech, this was developed on request of the laptop oems.
there is lots of FTTH in Sweden. Don't know prices over there but here in Holland I pay 39.95 euro a month for 100/100 Mbps.

oh no, don't mention the war!
I'm regularly frustrated by the subtle hubris of completeness that underlies so many scientific assertions.
I don't think science is to blame for that, but the oversimplified reporting of it. No serious scientist assumes completeness.

Mother! So it was all a dream! No dear, this is the dream ...
I have read the pdf. Looks good to me, could find no errors in the math, so make it so. Now back to watching pr0n.
so now governments are contemplating putting a surcharge on atoms, to compensate the entertainment industry ...

I thought Hell ended January 20!
hmm, for the world that would not be such a bad scenario perhaps ...
Humor? Good advice! If you can make it there ...
