You may jest, but I was still on dial-up up until 6 years ago when I left the state. I tried getting DSL in the early 2k's but after going back and forth with a couple ISPs they determined the lines going down my street were too ancient to support it. They were willing to run a new line to my house for an outrageous fee. There was not even a cable TV line on the street, we had to get satellite. I lived 20 miles from downtown St. Louis.
I live in St. Petersburg, FL now, I have an 768kbps DSL line. Just last month I tried upgrading to a 3mbps connection but again the same thing, went back and forth with a couple ISPs and they determined I was too far from the office for a stable connection at that speed.
I'd love to know how all these people seem to be getting zippingly fast internet, all my dealings with ISPs wherever I live end up with me getting lowest possible speed.
Actually in Chrome it does have a little icon that shows up in the URL bar when it blocks something, two clicks and the domain is added to the white-list.
Noscript functionality is in Chrome and IE, just not enabled by default.
In Chrome go to Options > Under the hood > Content Settings and disable then add your white-listed domains.
In IE its a little more complicated, Internet Options > Security > Set Internet to HIGH then go to Trusted Sites and add your white-listed domains. Then go to Internet Options > Programs > Manage Addons > Toolbars and Extensions > Disable any addons you will not use, for addons you do use right click them > More Information > Remove all sites and add only white-listed domains.
Is that we didn't account for human greed. We always assumed that the only hurdle to innovation was lack of knowledge and that the benefits of technology will be distributed evenly among everyone.
Non-biological machines may be more durable but require far more energy and resources to operate, repair, and reproduce, so there is a trade off. Remember any molecule that can absorb energy and resist damage will also require more energy to manipulate thus making repair and reproduction more energy intensive. I would hazard a guess that is why life developed and evolved from such molecules, because they were easier to alter.
Congrats giant corporations, maybe now you will see the dark side of outsourcing to a country like China. You fight so hard to acquire and defend patents and trademarks in the US, but guess what? The country you put all your manufacturing in doesn't care. And China has a growing economy unlike the US, so look at all that money you're losing!
So you have a few choices:
- Move manufacturing back to the US, where you can enforce your patent and trademark claims.
- Give up the patent and trademark system and learn to make money without having a monopoly.
- Keep losing money.
