And the closer you get to the equator the less difference there is between winter and summer daylight hours, so there's no sense in artificially selecting half of the months to shift. So, were DST to make any sense at all, it would only make sense in two bands.
However, I don't believe it makes any sense at all. If you want more light after work, start and end work earlier. If so many people are in favour of getting up earlier, then these earlier work hours can be the societal norm. And if they aren't, then we've been lied to all along (by our governments - no way!?). Calling 7am "8am" doesn't change anything apart from an abstract label.
Much of the linux (explicitly I mean the kernel) development behind Android was done indeed not by the community, nor by google themselves, but by Nokia. Nokia have always had a policy of upstreaming first wherever possible, and that benefits all the competitors who use similar SoCs and peripherals. I believe that Google effectively even said "Thanks Nokia (suckers!)" back in the early days.
"Nokia was getting killed by the fact that people now want their phones to do such exotic things as email and Web browsing."

I first did web-browsing on a nokia phone over 15 years ago, and everyone I know with a nokia phone was doing it 5 years ago. Just because nokia's marketting seems to have considered your country a bit unsophisticated doesn't mean other parts of the world weren't using very powerful feature-rich phones. If you live where I guess you do, you were getting the same image of the product portfolio that places like India were getting.
Unfortunately, the fact that I work at nokia prevents me from sharing the internally-perceived reasons why things weren't going quite as well as the shareholders might have liked.
And did you see any evidence of "filters" being responsible for changes in traffic rather than just (a) noise in his figures; (b) maintenance work in the networks; and of course (c) equiptment failures?
By his metrics, here in Estonia we suffered absolutely massive censorship this morning, for about 3 hours, as the largest ISP censorred their connection to the backbone by applying massive filtering to every packet.
Thank goodness they removed those filters eventually, or I wouldn't be able to post this!
"VOIP traffic is useless if it is delayed more than 10-20ms" - patently false. In the real world of typical VOIP traffic, there's probably a delay of well over 200ms compared to the CS equivalent. You seem to be assuming VOIP codecs are without buffering fifos.
Thank you for clarifying the wording, but even then, shaping still violates the 1st-come-1st-served policy that some NN proponents consider to be a fundamental part of NN. (Sorry, no names this time, I don't know if Wu's explicitly mentioned holding such a view or not.)
Today, at least.

Shout all you like, the fact that Professor Tim Wu disagrees with you is all that really matters in this regard. You may not have heard of him, he's the guy who coined the term Network Neutrality.
"Network neutrality is best defined as a network design principle. The idea is that a maximally useful public information network aspires to treat **all content**, sites, and platforms equally." (emphasis mine)
I repeat - filtering by content is explicitly a net neutrality issue according to those who define the terms.
Am a nokia employee. You misheard, or have an unreliable grapevine. And your view of the political spectrum is way off too, Finland's not socialist, and it's easier (i.e. cheaper) to get rid of Finns than it is to get rid of Germans, for example (see the NSN mess).
OK, maemo only had a very large headcount rather than a huge one, but still, it was a high enough headcount to get several good phones out of the door in the last few years if it hadn't for certain matters that I am probably not even at liberty to mention the existence of. Scrapping Symbian and moving more bodies onto maemo wouldn't have sped things up, a slow transition always made more sense.
Let's say it's a 1 in 100000 occurrence. That probably means that maybe 50-100 people will suffer from the bug today, and every day. Thats an after-sales burdon - people will be making support calls, they'll be making returns, and, potentially worse, they'll be telling other people about it. It's stuff like that that severely hampers a company being able to turn a profit from a device. (Which typically takes about half of the lifetime of the device.)
The analogy on that page is completely useless. It has none of the properties that the real cryptosystems have, and plenty that the real cryptosystems don't have.
If you're taking the 2nd option, then you have to "give" the source code. Pointing to someone else's server and saying "get it from them" is not "giving".
You, and I, are in a tiny minority. I think the only thing I use javascript for on the internet is when playing forumwarz (www.forumwarz.com - don't go there, you may sign up, and enable javascript)
Alas, even/. doesn't work fully without JS. I think metamoderation doesn't work without it. (However, after writing scathing feedback in the recent request for review of/.2 vs/. classic, perhaps they've fixed that now.)

"DST is good for all those [who] don't get up early enough to notice the sun seems to rise an hour later."
Then you're *wasting daylight* - you're part of the problem!
"We have daylight savings to *save daylight*. Because in winter-time, we have less sun."
Have you never noticed that the time of year that you're "saving daylight" is *summer time*?

Just call it WiPh instead of WP?

"If you own stock, think about selling it."
Absolutely not! Or at least not yet. Not until the morning of the AGM, which is I think quite soon. Keep your voting rights, and have your say.
Looks like a marketting department put these together.
Or a governmental propaganda - sorry, information - department.
Oh, that's what you already said that.

Beautiful - from the 651 FAQ:
"It requires a very high level of electric current but without amperage."
Japes aside, calling this and its ilk 'fraud' is criminally underestimating the effect of overreliance (defined as any reliance) on such products.
But she's only 2 clicks away from child abuse!

Adding more clowns does not improve things in any way at all.

By any sensible definition of the word warrant, an NSL is a warrant.
"god-proof crypto can be so easy to deploy that it's faster and easier to just use it, than to even think about what you're securing against."
Then you've probably already lost. Remember in Aliens when they had Alien-proof welding on the door?

Saying "redhat has it, look over there" is not "giving ... access".
However, it appears the GPL still doesn't handle the idea of CDNs cleanly. Clearly CDNs must be allowed, but it appears they aren't.
