But your ISP probably knows who you are right? I mean you signed up with them with your real name and probably pay them every month with a check or credit card.
The government justifies its ban on virtual currency trading as a way to curtail gambling and other illegal online activities.
But it's probably more about control. In a tightly controlled economy, the Chinese government doesn't want a parallel and uncontrolled economy popping up.
Yea in a perfect world he would've. The reality is that people don't have enough time to read all the fine print for everything ever.
And for 99% of Clear's customers, I'd agree with you and sympathize with them. But this is the CTO of a security company. He should have known better that to hand out a bunch of data without any idea what would happen to it.
"The aeroplane could do it theoretically non-stop - but not the pilot," said Dr Piccard.
""In a balloon you can sleep, because it stays in the air even if you sleep. We believe the maximum for one pilot is five days."
Seems autopilot should be the least complicated part of this endeavor, especially considering that there have already been several unmanned solar powered aircraft demonstrated already. Turn on the autopilot and catch some Z's.
I think it makes sense from a business point of view rather than from a gaming point of view. From a business point of view, does it make sense to invest money and resources in making a really great, memorable ending to an epic game, when most casual players will move on to something else before they get there? Or does it make more sense to make shorter games that can be finished in a dozen hours or so and take the time saved to make another sequel?
As a gamer who enjoys epic games, it makes me sad. But it's a reality for business of games, especially as the hardcore gamers become a less significant portion of your customer base.
Damn Frenchies, it all started when they decimalized the money. Bring back pounds, shillings and pence I say. Sure it was more complicated, but at least it made you think!
I'd gladly take a position in Alaska. Wide open land with relatively few people. No overbearing State government that can't balance the budget, not much of an immigration problem up there either.
What about all those Russians that Sarah Palin so bravely keeps us safe from?
Well, that's a fair point on manufacture and eventual disposal of cables, but those are one time charges, so the whether or not it balances out in the end will depend on the lifetime of the device in question, something that is disturbingly short in many devices. Probably a far more efficient solution would be standards for chargers so that you don't need a new charger for every device.
The fact is that this will never be as efficient as using a cable unless you can change the laws of physics. It'll have some applications, medical devices come to mind and I like your solar garage idea, but in general I think it's a bit of a non-starter unless you have plenty of clean energy to waste.
So in this era of concern about energy supplies, we have a new way to charge our phones that is less efficient and will waste a ton of energy. But at least we won't trip over any cables.
I agree absolutely. The real reason the HD disk formats have struggled is because DVD is "good enough" for most people. DVD replaced VHS because of better picture and sound, but also because it offered the convenience of no rewinding, more stuff on one disk, the ability to skip to different chapters, etc and it's more robust than tapes. Blu-ray (or HD-DVD) doesn't offer anything above slightly better picture (assuming you have a decent, and expensive TV with a decent sound system).
CDs replaced cassettes and vinyl for much the same reasons, the sound is better, but one of the biggest selling points is being able to skip tracks and not have jammed tapes or scratched vinyl. CDs were then replaced not by higher quality CDs, but by more convenient downloads. Similarily, the only thing to dethrone DVDs will be convenient and cheap movie downloads.
Have you used IE8? Because they aren't that hard to find. I still prefer Firefox though because I couldn't find a good, free equivalent to my favorite Firefox extension DownloadThemAll!

There's another really nice tool that has the advantage that EVERY car already has one:

Nobody said governments behaved rationally.

What's wrong with these people? I bet half the teenagers and college-aged kids in that town agree that Coalinga sucks.
Not only that, but now half of everybody on the internet thinks Coalinga is a backwards shit-hole. Nice work Coalinga!

Clear customer David Maynor, who is CTO with Errata Security in Atlanta, wants Clear to delete his information but that isn't happening
Shouldn't the CTO of what I assume is a company involved in security know better? Should he have read the fine print before signing up?

But for how much longer?

Short of a massive cash investment (Many Trillions of Dollars)
Versus the continuing costs of doing everything in imperial units while the rest of the world uses SI units.
I shudder to think that all you knowledge about the UK comes from watching Top Gear.
Geeze, my comment was no more flamebait that the one it replied to. Some people have no sense of irony.

I've never seen a rural area that isn't mind-numbingly boring, has nothing going on and smells faintly of shit. I could never live in one.
Sad but (probably) true.
