Reason that it is being discussed and is in court is good enough for not making it succeed. Courts in India have been much closer to western idea of individual freedom, so I hope that it would not get much further than govt. idea of getting cheap shot at conservative idea of censoring what it does not like.
The High Court has already given its go-ahead for the prosecution Thats bad enough
But what do you do when a majority of the citizens ASK the govt.(by rioting and destroying public property ) to be a "Big Brother" and make sure only U rated content is available everywhere: books,news,TV,Internet,etc?
Doesnt magnet require clients to communicate with each other using DHT? Whats stopping the ISP's from blocking DHT itself, atleast this way they have to block individual sites If everything went magnet they can wipe it all out by just blocking DHT
So you are saying slashdot is US ONLY? Issues relating to other countries should not be discussed here? Perhaps you should have seen India in the title and not opened the article itself?
Ah.. well, knew about the U2711 and 3011, but those prices are prohibitive for most people The others I didnt know about, but 20k EUR is a LOT for a monitor
Most screens are lower resolution than the photo clicked by a digicam 1920*1080 which is the highest consumer resolution available is around 2MP 2560*1600 which is the highest resolution available for individual displays in the market is around 4MP
A telecom operator here in India decided to price calls based on the congestion on a particular tower Basically, there was a base rate, which was at par with other operators, and if you made a call from a less congested tower, you would have a discounted call rate. Perhaps something like this should be tried for data as well? Details of plan : http://mobigyaan.com/uninor-launches-dynamic-pricing-in-up-east-up-west-and-bihar-circles
But I am not sure how that would work for bandwidth usage distribution. Not saying it doesn't, but I don't see an intuitive explanation.
If you have always used an unlimited connection, you are going to use a lot more data than someone who has used only a low speed capped connection As a side effect you know of ways of consuming bandwidth (streaming videos,game downloads,etc) which the other person doesnt Thus,being on the top makes it easier for you to stay on top
There's vast costs that the general public not only doesn't see, they're barely aware even exist - things like proofreading, editing, marketing - over and above the basic print and distribute bits that we all know about
Not valid as the books are usually available at 10% of the price developed countries pay in developing countries Usually slightly thinner paper and monochrome printing, but thats acceptable for academic use
Most consumer Hardware and software is compatible with it It was being shipped with netbooks till sometime in 2010 IIRC For something like an OS, the bigger question is "Why change" The generic consumer doesnt care about security updates
must unlock free of charge all devices already sold to costumers through a simple form on their respective websites
When the phones were sold, the carriers would have used the future earnings from these phones to offset the initial discount. Now they cannot make that money Somewhat unfair isnt it?
Slashdot Mirror
HDMI doesnt have DVI-A support
American constitution atleast guarantees free speech with virtually no restrictions applied I believe
Ours doesnt even do that

See section 3(2(b))
More than that, internet penetration and awareness is not high enough to form a vocal majority against such acts
So you are saying slashdot is US ONLY?

He regards it as HIS voice.
Would you want somebody to replace your voice with 'something a bit more more modern'?
If it allows me to communicate at a significantly higher speed than earlier, then maybe.
Unless vernor vinge was correct

IDK whats wrong if a database has a track of my monthly grocery purchases
All they will have to do is appear as a Metro app to windows

So there's a dearth of satellite bandwidth, is there?
Actually in some parts of the world, there is a shortage
"in the past year" is very relevant
Most PC's last 3-5 years without getting outdated atleast unless you are gaming or doing scientific work
Still not required for daily use

The rest of the world where you usually buy a SIM and phone independantly?
