You do realise that "fuzzy picture" will be much cleaner then original because of super sampling with proper algorithms? Or do you not understand how super sampling works and why it's used?
The problem is that Sweden's court and justice system has basically been completely infiltrated and bought by US, in relation to:
1. Legislation that allows Sweden's intelligence and army to monitor internet traffic going through the country (Much of Russia's traffic to West is routed through Sweden) 2. Piratebay 3. Assange
UK has a hell of a lot more of an image and prestige to lose by bending laws to extradite Assange then Sweden, which is probably the main reason Assange doesn't want to be extradited.
They probably also use a dedicated chip, but thing is, in terms of calculating efficiency and OS overhead, symbian runs circles around all other mobile operating systems.
That's the main reason why it can still get away with low power ARM11 on low clocks, and still run fine (at least anna and belle do).
Thing is, this is a PHONE. Not a DEDICATED CAMERA. It has issues with size of camera module and severe issues with lens that cameras can easily bypass.
It's not a part of megapixel race. What they're doing is supersampling to bypass several lens-related problems in camera phones. It's a brilliant solution on many levels.
Unless you get the typical usage scenario where one low power core isn't enough and 4 are a massive overkill. Kind of like I get on my PC all the time according to open hardware monitor's statistics.
There is a reason why most modern high end android devices are essentially tethered to nearest power outlet. That reason is power consumption caused by overpowered CPU coupled with large amount of programs running on the background. Programs that really do not need but a fraction of that CPU (but would choke on a low power one).
The "but we can run low power core" is a pipe dream until we make SOFTWARE that can actually guess power usage patterns with reasonable amount of success. Right now, it doesn't exist (at least in consumer market).
The problem with "police state is after my freedom" is similar to "rapes are on a massive rise, kill the rapists!".
In reality, vast majority of central police force in most western countries (such as FBI), including USA deal with fairly mundane policing tasks like dealing with major theft, drug rings, murderers and so on. Just like rapes have been on a massive decline for last 20 years or so across the western world.
But press will bang the gongs about every single case that makes sales well. That is "oh god, world is full of rapists", "oh god, police are after your rights, your wife, your life!" and the favorite of all, "oh god, pedophiles/terrorists".
Not because any of the above are a serious threat to our everyday life, but because these occurrences are actually so rare for most people, that they pack significant shock value. And shock value sells, unlike the far worse issues that actually do affect our everyday lives, like social injustice, corruption in legislative (rather then executive) branch on massive level when dealing with big corporations, widespread tax evasion by certain strata of society and so on. These are too mundane to sell, even though their impact is far greater then all of the "shock value" news put together for vast majority of people.
That would be because major sites do not care enough to block you. They get enough revenue anyway.
Of the minor sites, quite a few actively block adblock browsers, ranging from disabling certain key page elements to blocking videos on streaming sites, to blocking entire pages. At least one major tabloid site in my country actively blocks streaming video content for those who block ad tracking with ghostery. I know of at least one swedish gaming site that blocked the entire page delivery until I whitelisted it in adblock. Etc.
Just because you haven't encountered this yet doesn't mean that it's not there.
You do realise that in true capitalism, there is absolutely no caring about who controls the capital. The importance is that capital controls everything but its owner.
In this regard, China is far more capitalist then the West, where there are a lot of regulations to address the biggest flaws of capitalism.
Except that they WON. In past tense. Skipscreen is dead, mostly because author lost motivation to constantly update the addon. Adblock still kills most of the sites that choose to block it vast majority of the time. Ghostery still gets you blocked on some video sites. Etc.
The claim that "we will win in the end" fails to note that even if you win in hypothetical ending, it's a moot point because "ending" doesn't actually exist. It's a permanently ongoing process, and during this process, you are the losing side most of the time. Which is what matters to the user.
Nope. The "script displaying" sites aren't the sites I'm talking about. I'm talking about sites that will specifically BLOCK CONTENT DELIVERY if ads are not properly loaded first.
There are quite a few of them out there. You'd have to build a tailored script bypass solution for each site, and every time, site would only need to slightly modify their script to again fully block you. This was shown in skipscreen fiasco - it's almost impossible to keep on bypassing someone who doesn't want to be bypassed. Sites that didn't want to be bypassed broke that addon about a day-two after release of each version. And having to fiddle with your addon every two days on some of your favourite sites causes a very significant loss of convenience for end user, which means that most people will simply white list the site.
Same goes for adblock and ghostery. Most of the sites that block key elements of page upon detection will modify their blocking if it's bypassed.
Hint: they have a choice. Try using adblock on numerous sites that do not want you to use it and take measures against it for a great example of what they can do.
For example, one of the tabloids in my country blocks all videos on its homepage if I block tracking with ghostery. Don't want to be tracked? No videos for you. Just a nice black screen with a message "cannot show content because of your ad blocking".
It's worth noting that XY is not the only combination to result in a male part of species. There are species where XY is female and XX is male, and myriad of more complex variations.
Finally there are species based on hermaphroditism (each individual carries both sets of reproductive organs). Notably this conditions is sometimes (rarely) manifested in humans as well, however due to our genetic and fysiological layout hermaphrodites are rarely if ever capable of sexual reproduction as more then their one "primary" sex.
But anyway, the fact that we, as most of the species on this planet evolved with two sexes in face of extreme competition suggests that system of two sexes and Y-chromosome that is gained from father in unchanged (other then by mutations) state is a very stable system.
Get a back in time machine instead. Asking women for sex instead of hitting them on the head with a club, or more modernly buying them from their father is a fairly modern concept.
It's not "justice" it's "survival". Justice would be actual equality of sexes on the issue, and woman being unreasonable provoking same result as man being unreasonable provokes now.
Religion and science in your example are at odds. You simply accept that they are at odds, and decide to do nothing about it. It's a survival trait in humans to be able to believe several mutually exclusive things at the same time.

Symbian doesn't run "beefy things" also known as "graphics" on CPU. It has a dedicated GPU to offload these tasks to.
Best part is, it will probably be cheaper then that.

I'll dig up some concrete examples then:
1. Ghostery tracker blocking causes video associated with article to not show, instead showing black screen with message "Error loading advertisements. This error may be caused by ad-blocking software or connection problems"

2. There are banners asking you to whitelist site when adblock is in use

3. Page content delivery fully blocked if adblock is in use. Page content will vanish if you enable adblock after already loading the page.

I'm waiting for the biggest factor in child's success to be judged: parents.

Similar argument was used when used were opted in by default into "allowing non-intrusive advertising" in adblock.
It makes sense. If everyone is opted out, no one will honour the opt-out and it will become meaningless.
That said, if you don't want to be tracked on firefox, you should be using ghostery.

I like the copyright-related irony of this post.
