Just a hint, your measily 60 bucks a month doesn't come close to covering a dedicated 50 mbps pipe, it doesn't even come close to a dedicated 1.5 mbps pipe.
Why would anyone pay that much for something as a simple uplink? We pay about $30/month for unlimited and unthrottled traffic. Our ISP has been in business for 15 years and they don't seem to make a bad cut.
That's not the point. Every time you move something from a cold place in to a warmer one (higher humidity in the air implicit, since higher temperature means higher point of saturation) condensation occurs, as the air near the cold item cools down and "drops" dew on the cold surface. If the latter is intransparent, like server rails, backplanes or transformator cores/coils the condensed water will collect there.
Basically, condensation always occurs where temperature difference exist and it always happens at the coldest surface in the room. (Hence all the trouble with moisture and poorly insulated walls in colder regions.)
Now a truckload of servers is basically one large thermal buffer. Move it from arctic cold -supposed the machinery had time to adapt to outside temperatures- to room temperature and you will find a lot of water condensing. We're talking about tons of material -with a lot of surface- that will take hours to warm up.
So, you lost all of your add-ons at once, not just a few for a while?
Seriously, I tried Chrome, found it to be nice and fast and all, but I really missed PW-manager, sync to my own server, Quickproxy, AddBlock and NoScript. So I went back to FF, as I always have returned to Netscape/Mozilla. As soon as that was possible. I remember when there was MOSAIC and nothing else.
(Yes! MOSAIC! And we were happy we had MOSAIC. Get off of my lawn...)
According to this model they would use the money to sue more people in order to get even more money from the state they could use to sue...
Anything else would be against the market's principles.
Sorry, but that's just wrong. A rather pedantic example would be Belgium which in fact had no government for about two years. They still had (and have) a working administration, public services etc. but they were without government and legislation 2010/11.
Same -in a much more drastic way- applies to Spain during the 1930s, half of Eurpe around WW2. More than a few corporations have been permanently in business since 18something, nevertheless.
Can drone strikes rid the world of terror groups? [...] Others have argued that such attacks only fuel more anger towards the United States and the West while also trampling on nations like Pakistan's sovereign rights and territory.
Nice. It's just that these things don't have much to do with each other and not much more with the study's topics. A terrorist organization "disintegrating" does not mean there won't be another one.
I can't help the feeling that any study about actual politics -especially the more questionable part of it- that will be presented to the public will be in favor of the status quo.
Honestly, I can see a lot more perfectly rational reasons to hate Sony than to like them. I'd rather say, you have an (irrational or not) love for Sony.
Now that all three major OSes have common sense defaults ultimately it all comes down to the USER [...] and I for one will be interested to see how the community reacts.
Pah... We'll just patch the user each first tuesday of the month. No big difference...
There's another message between the lines: The need for a pan-european police state to bring down the "Euro-Anarchist" terrorist threat that mostly Italian law-and-order-feaks keep hallucinating about...
Do you really know who the Luddites actually were and what they wanted? According to the fact that almost everyone here seems to believe that "anarchists hate science" I have my doubts...
Hint: the answer is not just "they hated machines"....
Sounds a lot like a modern day version of the old "poisoned wells" tale to me. Still good for spreading paranoia, xenophobia and hatred against "disbelievers"...
Why are we letting these people from Bizarro World fuck everything up, anyway?
Because "we" are too bloody stupid to know the difference between client-side and server-side. "We" don't even know jack about remote or local. All "we" can do with our fancy phone (which makes us smarter than everyone else by the simple action of buying one) is push a single button telling us to agree & continue. What, BTW, do you mean with "Bizarro World" - is there an app for that?
Two weeks ago I enjoyed a little demonstration of the latest, most professional and rotten expensive piece of "music prototyping software" at my co-producers projct studio. Don't get me wrong: it's a fine app for certain tasks in -commercial, primarily movie sound track- composition that will make a real composer's life a lot easier. But if you let it just compose by algo, no matter how well elaborated your parameters are, the output is just utter crap.
In this special field -autonomous composition- there has been exactly zero progress within the last twenty years. Machine compositions may be perfectly correct by basic musical rules and they might -like Microsofts latest toy- even produce dramaturgy or "mood" but anybody with two ears and a brain between them will instantly recognize algo-generated tracks, because they completely "empty". They contain nothing of any artistic value, because there is no artist will involved. Music is the language of emotions - if any machine wants to master it, it has to know what emotions are and feel the desire to express them. That's the only point what music and arts are there for.
The ownership of anything you do during your work hours would be in question (at best). Most likely, if you're in IT, you've signed something that says anything you create while on the clock belongs to your employer and there would be no question at all.
OMG. So his employer might pantent "Hello World", if he get's caught learning to program at work!!

I consider it to be inevitable. Given that, you must learn to deal with it in whatever way suits you best.
Right. Because stock prices are nature's law - in the same way, economists are scientists.

Sticks and stones have been existing for even longer. Whether you like it or not! So let sticks and stones decide!

However, you shouldn't have a bias against a product that has absolutely nothing to do with prior products of dubious functionality.
Maybe. But you should have a bias against a company that screwed people over and over again. So I don't see your point.

Sure. The bad thing is just that most of us, even if we might be playing a major role in one of these newly made films, are unlikely to ever see them.
For most normal, non-technical people,

The best way to watch TV is -and always has been- while being thrown out of the window.
5/4 is not that uncommon. In pop music, however...

No feelings -> no artistic intention -> no music.
Yes. If I, for example, want to breed mice with ears on their backs, I'd just for some generations pick the mice that hear best...

Suspension, date rape drugs and if that's not enough - lobotomy.
Bad analogy. It's more like "anyone who can't figure out how to open a water tap will have to buy bottled water."
