The only problem there is that it won't be long before those cameras start taking photos of everyone, regardless of speed. That data, along with everything else, can then be used to track you.
It's just a side-effect that they can make some extra coin from those people that are speeding.
Your house uses more than 10kw? I really have to ask, what the heck are you doing??
I have a modest 4x2 house, with a stay-at-home wife and 2 kids. Big screen TV, and all the other creature comforts and I wouldn't even come close to use 10Kw.
In this instance I have to say 'you're doing it wrong'.
And this is one reason why caped internet plans are actually in the customers interest. If you use more, you pay more, so it's in the interest of the ISP to keep you downloading stuff as fast as humanly possible.
The only time they do throttle you is when you hit your monthly quote. Then they "shape" (throttle) your connection to entice you to upgrade your plan to something more suited to your usage requirements. At which point, you click the "upgrade plan" button and you're back up to speed.
Sure, Unlimited internet is all good in fantasy land, but I really can't see how it's a sustainable business model unless you're paying for a business-grade connection on a megabit per second basis.
Easy... And it almost happened, right up to the point where Google started shipping Android. Apple made the hardware, Google provided the online services. Google and Apple were best of friends.
Then Google decided to make handsets and entire OS to directly compete with Apple. Fast forward to present day, and here we have this mess.
They have their own racks and servers and are a decent and honest bunch of guys. On a technical note, they run Xen and allow you to boot whatever OS you like.
Wow... way to show your total lack of understanding.
Firstly, the Australian economy is in pretty good shape comparatively. (Mostly held together by Western Australia and Queensland)
Secondly, the Mint is required by law to hold a certain amount of gold. What difference does it make if that gold is in house-brick size blocks or moulded into this coin?
The Mint isn't selling this coin, they just made it for funzies.
1. To have some control over a core component of their operating system. 1a. To stop the possibility of CUPS moving to GPLv3 (see point 1) 2. To hire someone who REALLY knows printing software.
A soldiers' job, by definition is to kill/destroy various people/things. How is professional killer not an accurate description?
That's like saying an explosive device shouldn't be called a bomb because it also stops pieces of paper from flying away while it's sitting on a desk.
I don't think it about a phobia it's quite a rational reaction. The point of the firearm is to intimidate. No doubt that any person entering the facility would have been searched prior, so there is no immediate need for a firearm. Especially when that guard would have been assigned to watch the tenant, not actively patrol.
Thunderbolt IS LightPeak. The only difference is they moved the optical transceivers from the mobo to the cable itself. (smart move actually). Lightpeak never included fibre switching, just inexpensive transceivers. Moving to copper also solves the "you cant send power over fibre" problem....Developed by Intel (under the code name Light Peak)...
Actually, there is a real-world amount of data that a smart phone can consume. Once the networks are able to supply this, data usage on smart phones will scale linearly.
Not counting things like tethering, I would put that figure (completely out of my rear-end of course) at the 5 or 6Mbit mark. That is ample for streaming a movie at the viewable resolution of an iPhone 4 or even an iPad.
I don't think there is anything, mass-market, more bandwidth intensive than video.
I thought having no single company control the whole product was supposed to be a good thing. Do you mean to say that there are advantages in having one company make both the hardware AND the software?
How about we just make it a law that you are more than welcome to have one of these new fangled quiet cars, so long as you employ someone to walk in front of it carrying a large red flag.
The problem with this is the first statement is usually what you really meant to say. You shoot it out in the heat of the moment when all your mental filters are distracted. Flanagan may now say that he doesn't advocate hunting down another human and murdering them, but the fact that he said it in the first place shows that the thought is prominent in his subconscious.

Bad analogy.
Code obfuscation is more akin to locking your door, and then hiding the key behind the pot plant.

Is this the same Yahoo! that turned over data to the Chinese, which resulted in a bunch of people going to prison?

Seems like a convenient PR stunt to me.
This is the same Amazon that just won an $800m bid to host the CIA's cloud computing system?
Uh huh.
Q. Why did Australia get all the criminals, while the US got all the religious nuts?
A. Australia won the coin flip....

I'm in the male 25-35 demographic. I have disposable income. I don't play multiplayer games.
Guess which gaming company doesn't get my money...
So why hasn't anyone else built something better already?
If you need hosting in Australia, then go for someone like Web In-A-Box. Disclaimer: I'm a reseller of theirs.
Standard home page.
Referral link if you want to be nice to me.

Apple bought CUPS for 2 reasons;
1. To have some control over a core component of their operating system.
1a. To stop the possibility of CUPS moving to GPLv3 (see point 1)
2. To hire someone who REALLY knows printing software.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Points of reference...

CUPS is still available under GPLv2
I haven't installed a sound driver for the better part of 3 or 4 years. My computer seems to play sound quite happily. What am I missing?

I know the exact location of every person in North America.
North America.
When was the last time Visa was hacked? (Their payment processing system, not their web site)...
Or MasterCard for that matter...
Systems CAN be built to be very secure. Most companies just don't want to.
I read the the headline and thought... what the fark does an internet comic need a remote for?
Love tequila! Just love it.
ahem.... PlaysForSure?
