It should be noted that it is only free for the initial trial period. Then, if experience of other city Wi-Fi solutions is anything to go by, then the hourly rate will be more than a days worth of home DSL.
Wow! Nice trolling. Apples and oranges.
<sarcasm> I am sure that if you could rent a DSL by the hour, you'd pay more in a day than in a month of Hydro Wi-Fi. Damn them DSL provider, them trying to rip you off! </sarcasm>
There is a real world out there, and it is hard to control growth of anything anywhere. We have damaged so many ecosystems willingly or unwittingly. Many GE plants are done by megacorps for the profit of megacorps. Anyone can duplicate Monsato's weed killer, but no one can duplicate Monsato's GE seeds.
My opposition to GE does not stem from fear for the environment, but from fear of corporate greed.
Don't you kids remember that what is "illegal" is the voice recording?
This was said repeatedly in the previous/. article. If you want to keep your brain offline when yakking around, at least use it when moderating. Stupid brainless groupthink.
Everything remains the same, only now the worker makes $8 and spends $8 instead of making $7 and spending $7. Please poke holes in the above or explain your theory or point me in the right direction; I'm interested in learning.
Yeah, but the rich guy with $7 millions in the bank doesn't have $8 millions now. And the poor minimum-wage guy with a $7,000 debt doesn't owe $8,000 now. Oversimplified too. High salary increases are way above inflation. That should demonstrate that raising minimum wages and top salaries are that linked.
This guy is really enthusiastic. You have to dig through the dythirambic spew to get the meat. At least you can't have the standard GW step 3 aka buy tons of figurines at high cost. Yeah I skewed against them, cry me a river;oP
Once you get used to it, a little perversion feels good sometimes;o)
The reason why this is "good" and "necessary" in C++ is that there is no gc and stack objects like pXML will auto-destroy even on throw. Manual delete is so error-prone;o/
<sarcasm>Smart pointer maybe? Assuming you used -> and . properly. </sarcasm>
If you actually wrote this code without learning about smart pointers, unprofessionnal. If you know but won't mention it, trollish.
OTOH, I don't have M$ C++ include files, so I can't verify my insight on this.
Something isn't quite right about this ongoing iPod/iTMS story in Europe. You don't need a PhD to come up with those arguments, why is it that I never heard them?
I wanna sell music for the iPod!
Those devices can play MP3 and AAC. Why can't you sell in that format? I mean, it sure isn't Apple that stops you from doing so. And selling an unincumbered format would make everyone happy, including Apple.
I wanna play iTMS songs on my player!
See the previous point. But while RIAA blocks that, can't you burn your song to a CD and reimport them? Yeah, I know it sucks. But we are talking about politicians, they only care about appearances anyway.
Considering the stinks the music labels raise not long ago trying to "optimize" the track costs in iTMS, I am wary of weakening the position of strength that Apple holds over RIAA et all. OTOH, letting WMA get the field isn't good either.
<tinfoil>But this whole campaign makes me wonder if there's anyone behind pulling the ropes.</tinfoil>
I played Marathon (and its sequels) for years. And my favorite weapon was the fist. If I had the instant gratification of having any übergun from the get-go. I'd never have gotten good enough to use my fists and would have stopped playing it. Lets face it: invincible is dull.
Ultimately, I - as the user - pays for it all. Transfering fees into hidden middle men masks the real cost. I want to have the power to pressure my ISP into handling things as I see fit.
In a way, philosophy is the ancestor of sciences. We had to get magic out of our minds and create a scientific method. How can you develop an understanding of the world if you believe in Faerie fire and run away because you fear for the sanctity of your soul?
Now we are past that (at least most of us - see below), and we don't need it for science anymore. But it still helps to get around the sophistry of politics, consumerism and other brainwashing sources.
Let me be the first to state that my phone number is classified information. Now try to call me you criminal.
Wasn't there an uproar some time ago about innocent documents being re-classified? Maybe Clinton should have had his sex life classified top secret. </tongue firmly in cheek>
Get yourself a quart (or litre) of orange juice. Get a glass and mix apple + grapefruit juices. I haven't drunk soda for years and I certainly don't miss it. Jeesh, what's wrong with you kids?
If you really need a kick, get some 70%+ dark chocolate. This being \. that's the closest to sex you'll ever get. <VBEG>
So what I'm saying is if someone chooses to use a browser made by a company, then that company has every right to set defaults any way it wants. I mean, what does Google really hope to accomplish? The right to pay MS to be the default search engine? The stupidity is that MSN will just "bid" more. They could "bid" a trillion dollars, and then MS shuffles some papers around since all the payments are internal.(emphasis mine)
Monopoly is choice.
Can Dell & co. choose to customize their Windows so that IE isn't the default browser? There are things convicted monopolies cannot do. Microsoft is on parole here.
This being/. and me being me, I didn't RTFA. If this is scratch-resistant and can be applied to non-glass surface, it could eliminate the anti-freeze applied to aircrafts before take-off. This would greatly reduce pollution there.
Erm, okay... I had to wear my subtlety goggles to catch your meaning. Jeez that's punful.
I am sorry, but when you spell phonetically you sometimes get another word that really exists. You know that one: "spammer" - not quite like terrorists as they heckle you to death instead of killing you outright.
Now here's an interesting concept - gold farming/spamming could bring good income to terrorist. Maybe we should make sure there's a fatwa against it.

Another proof that stoopid moderators exist.
In Quebec there is RDPRM to resolve some of these issues. Of course, it doesn't help with identity theft.

Fu-ya, yes. But I've rarely heard a real F from those Japanese I know.
Actually: "Rayaa, Rayaa, pantsu on bayaa." But you got the picture.
Yeah, but which one? Not the first tier ones anyway. Yet another way for big corp to limit access.
Let the user pay for the bill directly, without a cartel/label as an intermediary.

But where is the *choice*?
If you answer no to all those questions, then Google is right to request fair play. If you answer yes to most, it seems fair enough to me.

Reverse logic. Actually one of the story today was true, but I'm not telling which one.
Who cares about 3.6 billion Fahrenheit. No scientific worth its salt uses that unit.
