You just said it yourself: the current specs say the upper limit is 0.5 amps. With USB3.0SS the upper limit is raised to 100W and therefore it can both charge and carry data simultaneously.
Sure you can. The correlation between freedom and responsibility exists only in your head. In a world where it is impossible to restrict the freedom of others, like a completely anonymous Internet, everybody would be completely free and nobody would be responsible for anything.
A completely anonymous and free Internet would be useless, though. Everyone would need to have randomly-generated identifiers, meaning that there would be no way of establishing communication with a party that you previously communicated with unless you went through them all, one by one, and exchanged previously-exchanged certificates to identify yourselves to one another -- as soon as you install any sort of an architecture to the thing, like e.g. DNS of some sort, web-services or anything like that you immediately introduce a "more equal than others" - class of netizens and therefore it would all have to be completely ad-hoc with no structure to it at all. Even with some sort of a peer-to-peer DNS-system the people with the most computers online would be the ones with the most power at their hands and could, indeed, restrict the freedom of others.
Now, all of this would still entail that there would be these gatekeepers that maintain the actual physical construction and access to this virtual world and that, again, would in and of itself place restrictions on freedoms; these gatekeepers could allow themselves more bandwidth than others, more computers online than others, they could introduce tracking of the people they let through and so on. Basically, the idea you presented is an oxymoron and not possible in the physical world.
This is totally contrary to how Anonymous operated, and it's an attempt to put an official channel on the name and idea of Anonymous.
Since there is no official guideline or anything as to how Anonymous operates and as each click is also considered Anonymous even if they did the complete opposite of another click it obviously means that yes, this is indeed how Anonymous operates, it just may not be your click.
Anonymous does not support it.
It actually seems that Anonymous both does and doesn't support it. That's what you get for being Anonymous.
Personally I believe the HTC One is a remarkable phone, exceedingly pretty and I love the fact that HTC dared to go against the mainstream with their camera by focusing on good low-light performance at the mega-pixel race's expense. While the Samsung Galaxy S III has nice specs it looks like ass and Samsung is seemingly afraid of trying new things now that they believe they've found a winning formula. I hope HTC can gain some market-share from Samsung and continues to experiment with their phones.
replace rats with humans and as George Carlin said on using dead people as fertilizer, "you want recycling? lets get serious"
Well, I for one am all for someone doing something useful with my corpse when I'm dead, it's not like I'll have much use for it myself anyways. If someone wants to use me as a fertilizer I say go for it.
Back when it was announced that Netflix is going to fully fund several new series every year from now on it was also mentioned that they deliberately do not want to enforce these cliffhangers or traditional TV-values on directors and writers and instead just give more-or-less free hands to the team to deliver whatever they feel like. In fact, they encouraged the folks to avoid these cliffhangers. Also, to take pressure off they would always finance a full season at once so that directors and writers wouldn't have to worry about the series being canceled mid-season if some episodes were lack-luster.
Having watched House of Cards on Netflix I must say that I really have high hopes for any future series being funded by Netflix -- it was terribly refreshing how the House of Cards was filmed and written and I consumed the whole first season in like 2 days.
afaik, IA are covered on the basis all archived material is publicly accessible, coupled with a straightforward removal process for copyright holders.
That still doesn't explain things here. If I started to crawl through stuff and then proceeded to share it I would quite quickly find myself at the other end of a list of lawsuits. Sharing it publicly is exactly the part that is the illegal part, yet IA is given free hands to do so for now; I wonder how long it'll take before MAFIAA sees an opportunity for profit here.
Alas, that is not how it works. IA clearly downloads the material to their servers and shares the content from there to other peers -- something quite a few websites have been brought down for by MAFIAA and friends.
Apart from the oddities such as CP, which laws exactly is copying a website breaking?
Everything presented by the wayback machine - which is how the websites are presented are clearly marked as archives and not live sites.
What baffles me is how they get around copyright laws? They take copyrighted content and then spread it, often against the copyright owners' wishes, so why is it legal for them and not for e.g. me?
This is pretty much what I was thinking: if I'm dead why the fuck would I care what happens to my data as I'm no longer around to see it? I just really don't care, they may do with it as they please at that point. If someone found something in my belongings that offended them, well, that would be their own problem -- shouldn't be digging in stuff if you aren't prepared to find stuff and all that.
I say bullets and grenades, because why else would you care to track indoors
The bullet would have to be terribly slow and pretty big in order for it to be maneuverable indoors and still have enough space to hold the necessary equipment to be able to make such sharp turns. A normal-sized bullet would be completely impossible to maneuver at the speeds they're conventionally fired at. Besides, it'd be pointless to waste all that money on making these magical bullets when you could just instead make a small UAV capable of maneuvering indoors and arm it with a conventional gun.
Also, your tin-foil hat is screwed on way too tight if the only applications you see for this are weaponized platforms. Must suck to live in such constant fear all your life.
Wait a moment, what happens if I write a scathingly honest review that then costs me job opportunities because it's connected to LinkedIn? Or what if I write falsely glowing reviews in order to bulk up my apparent knowledge of a product in order to get a job? How is this going to effect the job market, and is subject to gaming or abuse?
I ain't going to bother with RTFA, but they could just use your LinkedIn - login to verify who you are and that you are actually worth your salt and then just anonymize the reviews themselves. That would solve all the issues you raise as far as I can tell. On the other hand, I don't know how they would reward you for your time, then.
You can already hook up many existing tablets or other Android devices to HDMI and see games on your television.
Well, it's usually the "I have to crawl in there and start fiddling with cables" that puts people off such; the average consumer does not like cables or playing with them. Even I hate those things with a passion and I'm a geek.
They'll probably be used mostly to run emulators and media players on a TV
Is there something wrong with such usage, though? A small, completely-silent little box tucked away that can play all the tens of thousands of games of the past, all at your perusal with just a push of a power button and a few menu-items. I can definitely see the appeal.
--except that you can jailbreak a Wii to get that and the processing power of Android game consoles is weak enough that they have no advantage over a Wii for emulators (and only an advantage for media players because they have hardware decoding).
There is a resolution-advantage, however, as Android-devices can sport 1080p graphics both in games and in videos. Some Android-devices can do stereoscopic-3D, too, if your TV-set supports it. Also, all these Android-boxes consume less power than even a Nintendo Wii, so they make sense for families with lots of users that'll keep the thing going for days on end, or for the people who have this or that need to conserve some energy. Oh, and well, on families with lots of young, active children it might even be more cost-efficient to buy a cheap ~$50 box than one of the more powerful once -- if it gets broken it won't cost much to replace the thing!
You don't have to agree with me or give these things the same value as I see in them, but the truth is that there are bound to be some people out there who would benefit from using these kinds of devices.
A lot of people always claimed that games were the only reason they were still on Windows.
I am one of those people and, well, this changes nothing. 99% of all my games are still Windows-only and I have no intention of ditching them just to move to Linux. And I am quite certain the same applies to a whole lot of other gamers.
And what makes you think the 400 gig devices are going to be any cheaper than the 10 gig?
You need to work on your reading-comprehension as I never said that. I only said that I'd have use for this. In fact I assume that 10Gbps devices will drop in price once 400Gbps hits the market.
There are very few 10 gig "home" devices anyway, it's probably going to be many years before there are any 400 gig "home" devices.
I would definitely have use for this, 1Gbps ain't nearly enough. 10Gbps would probably suffice, but those devices are horribly, horribly expensive and no one here in Finland seems to sell em for home-users at all.
Don't be ridiculous, a street address and an IP-address are nothing alike. You can easily go and use someone else's IP-address, hiding your person behind that of an other, but just try and go live at someone else's home and see how well it goes. You know, the obvious difference comes from the fact that one is a virtual construct that can be utilized from anywhere in the world and the other one is a physical construct that can only be used on that one, specific spot.

The license specifically forbids that. You didn't read the thing, did you?
It's clique not click.

Damn, I would've never thought of that. I gotta keep this in mind, knowing how to manipulate people is an exceedingly useful skill.
yeah such a nice 4MP camera lol! when nokia wanted good low-light performance they made a 41MP camera, and htc makes a shitty 4MP.
..and if you knew anything about photography you'd realize that megapixels do not equal quality.

Doesn't negate anything I said.
...says the guy excited about this new tech, yet PISSED when he sees an $12 increase per month in his cable/internet bill to pay for the damn thing.
The monthly fee already covers the costs for maintaining and upgrading the network.
I would definitely have use for this, 1Gbps ain't nearly enough. 10Gbps would probably suffice, but those devices are horribly, horribly expensive and no one here in Finland seems to sell em for home-users at all.
There's no such thing as "utilized from anywhere in the world".
Tor, botnets, proxies, VPN et.al. would like to disagree with you.
Don't be ridiculous, a street address and an IP-address are nothing alike. You can easily go and use someone else's IP-address, hiding your person behind that of an other, but just try and go live at someone else's home and see how well it goes.

it spurred me to pledge several thousand dollars for this guy's legal fund.
Glad to see some people actually being willing to stand up for others, consider yourself gaining a +1 charisma from me :)
