The Poles were the first, and did so when other nations thought it impossible. The trick the Poles used relied on the fact that the message cipher was duplicated at the start of each message. Once the Germans stopped doing that, the British took over further advancing the decoding.
Definitely the Polish did it first though, using a machine assembled with plans acquired from the French.
The only people I know that did that, did blame themselves (I know 3).
The reason the banks got blame is that they made lots and lots of these loans, knowing people would not be able to pay them back if they didn't get rich. The banks allowed themselves to get taken down too, which damaged far far more people than simply the ones being stupid.
The banks could have stopped it, a single borrower could not. The situation for any individual borrower is their fault, but the fact that lending dried up over-all and the economy dipped hard is the fault of the banks.
That the warrant is being served potentially on someone with no interest in the case.
It's an end-run around the password issue to serve google. It sidesteps the issues of the password case that was of recent concern, but raises new ones, thus is interesting.
and more importantly, I bet google has more miles of visual footage of car driving ever. A company based on getting good enough data fast, with more footage to look at than any other is the one chasing a fantasy?
They are probably more equipped than anyone to make it happen, and found a way to make money/pr on the initial R and D with street view.
Unless the premise it's a stupid tech to pursue at all.
Everything came from drops, and you needed gold to use certain things (kind of like a luxury tax). You could buy gold with in-game money/items, or real life money. The game economy itself remained the same as in the monthly subscription version though. No amount of money created game items from scratch (with the exception of gold). The general currency was pieces of eight.
I pretty much assumed that when I drive with a map open on my android, Google is making traffic data. I had to sign something about location information, the app uses data, and location permissions, it shouldn't be a surprise at all.
Are you kidding? Chrome makes them millions in saved search royaltys to Mozilla, and profits millions in ad revenue from dinged Ms market share (going to them without paying Mozilla).
I found a local number for Comcast in my area (302 area code, in a dead tree phone-book), the techs are smart, helpful, and have me do common sense things, like browse to the modem, and tell them the diagnostic info before they send out a tech. They even let me say what I've done and don't make me do stupid stuff. The 800 number gets me to hold queues and idiots though.
I've actually only had good experiences with Comcast in my area, and in Philadelphia.
I prefer them to be able to access their hardware (and it's there's, I'm not allowed to flash it), and run diagnostics from their end. I want everything on past the ethernet port I plug into to be someone else's responsibility. To each their own.
Based on off-peak times upstream bandwidth (which was always higher than what I had available downstream, so I assumed symmetric), I was guessing it was somewhere in the 1-3 mbps symmetric link for a typical hotel (be getting.5-3 upstream at 3am, and generally half that downstream).
Some of them seam to route across the country to a gateway (often my lowest ping from speedtest type sites is 1000's of miles away). I always assumed that was to control billing, this is my theory as to why free internet at hotels is usually quicker too, as the gateway in Texas can be a bottle neck.
I did stay at one hotel that had a solid 16mbps and low latency wired into the conference room, but the wireless only sleeping rooms would often have latency so bad I couldn't log in (over 1000ms).
I consider anything past 80ms to be slow for my cable connection (to 8.8.8.8).
I just tested 19,17,18,18
I previous test had a 60 something thrown in. This is via a boring home VPN router, shared connection, but under a dozen, and all light users.
13 hops to 8.8.8.8 from here.
33,34,33,63 to/.
300 is what I get on hotel wifi, or my cellphone (to be fair, on my cell phone it goes up to 1000), as can hotel wifi become unusable, I swear most hotels must have 300+ rooms sharing a T1 line.
The idea of ranking by links was not a little better, it was a major change in the way things were done. They also threw out meta keyboards, and generated their own list. Major alterations in the search paradigm, and major improvements.
I think the use of AJAX in maps was a major improvement too, but I don't know if that was a purchase or an innovation by them. When I first drug the map, and it filled in as I drug, it was amazing.

I just purchased a 13 inch macbook pro. Like you, it was for the screen.
1280 by 800 vs 1366x768, I wanted the height, as I always feel height limited when computing.
And the 1366 was on a 14 inch laptop, buy the time I get a small laptop with a good screen, it's big money either way.
They know different.
At least T-Mobile USA does. When I log into my account there is a picture of my phone, it changes when I move my sim.
It's lack of apps I think.
Unity is good enough, but only with a couple keyboard shortcuts (isn't it supposed to be the braindead option?).
I really like KDE4 now, and haven't used Gnome3.
I'm a huge fan of the always on top option for windows, and that goes a long way to my opinion.
and why would google?
Where is the key stored?
You say phones encryption system, presumably they have access to that key, and then you're back to the get the password issue.

I didn't realize anything was taken away.
I like the way puzzle pirates did it.

You got to play the game a lot earlier.
That was kind of my point, there's still billions of people in the world that will potentially be able to afford games in the future that can't now.
Hopefully a growing world middle class will increase volume.
Games have been getting significantly more complex for decades, with very little increase in cost.
I would hope even.

They have for a few years said they "may" in the small print.
Now they sell certain amounts, with slowdown rather than overage.

Don't they (like TMO) slow you down over a certain amount though?
A good ISP should be able to log into their side of the modem, and say as much, rather than saying it's okay.
No, I was serious.

Less than three wired through a cheap router, very often less than one.
I don't have access to wifi to check that.
But I suspect similar. All on lightly used network.
I consider anything past 80ms to be slow for my cable connection (to 8.8.8.8).
