If AT&T wants to apply a soft cap, either throttle based on QoS requirements at the time of use or adjust their throttling upward. I rarely hit 5gb a month that causes me to throttle, but it becomes difficult to use modern websites that have no concept of bandwidth control in their design or the ads they allow. Given that I can go from 15mb to 100k at the flip of a switch, I don't see why they couldn't just throttle based on the available bandwidth when it's needed at that point. If I'm abusing my contract and hitting my softcap and bandwidth is tight, sure, throttle me down, but there's no reason to cut me down to ISDN speed when the bandwidth is otherwise underutilized.
You're a fucking idiot. I never said the shareholders won't allow a data breach. I said it's in their best interest to build a secure system because of the fallout that occurred with Target. As far as giving them information, you're a fucking idiot if you give them your primary checking account. Do you use your primary checking account with PayPal? Google Wallet? ISIS/Softcard? No sane person does. Grow up.
5 months after because, like I said, they are beholden to shareholders. When shares continued to drop and income continued to drop(over 50% last quarter). Every single breach you linked just happened. This takes time.
What? Target's CEO resigned earlier this year after the breach severely impacted the company's already struggling bottom dollar.
Per the Board of Directors, "Today we are announcing that, after extensive discussions, the board and Gregg Steinhafel have decided that now is the right time for new leadership at Target. Effective immediately, Gregg will step down from his positions as Chairman of the Target board of directors, president and CEO." That is press release speech for "you're fired".
Well, actually, since it's a public school that would otherwise allow rallies, Nazi's can, given they obtain the proper permits. See the National Socialist Party of America v Village of Skokie, among other decisions.
Sure, but a phone is not a dedicated tool. Those 60s era technologies were specifically designed for the specific purpose they served. Your phone doesn't store local maps and it has a low grade GPS receiver. A dedicated GPS unit has the maps stored on it and has a better GPS receiver, so there is much less delay.
I hate it. Makes browser loading/transitions slower than just loading a JVM or Flash(and that's saying a lot), fucks with mobile, fucks with NoScript, screws up common hotkeys like backspace which loses what you've written Google Docs unless you're smart enough to run Lazarus(which you shouldn't have to), etc etc etc. Trying to be slick just makes it worse.
Netflix has shit selection of new movies, while Amazon has a pretty solid selection comparatively and has real blockbusters like the Marvel and Hunger Games films.
Anyways, you want to put all your eggs in one basket? That's why you're bitching about your shitty connectivity and I'm not. The fact is that Amazon, HBO, Hulu, etc don't have the problems that Netflix is having, and that's indicative of a Netflix problem, and that's why they're paying to put CDNs inside or close to ISP networks, which is how content delivery has been done since the advent of the CDN.
The beauty of choice. If Netflix wants to use shitty hosts while Amazon and HBO use superior ones, people will move to Amazon and HBO. This has been the way of the internet for eons. It's why things like datacenter tiers exist in the first place.
And if that's the case I already have alerts setup with Ticketmaster, Live Nation, my local venue, whatever. Just like I already do with Segerstrom Hall. The beauty of the internet is that it allows these things. It makes random advertising kind of redundant because I've already chosen what solicitation I want and how I want it. This is different from television or print, where they are advertising to a demographic. The best print ads are coupons. People actively search them out. The best television ads are humorous or memorable in some way. Web ads are different. They're not coupons in the traditional sense("YOU MIGHT WIN $1MILLION DOLLARS IF YOU CLICK THIS" isn't a coupon). They're mostly just annoying "Hey I exist" ads or they're PUNCH THE MONKEY click-bait that doesn't sell anything. Conversely, NewEgg, MWave, and Fry's deliver advertisements and coupons directly to my email, because I subscribed and I want them, and those advertisements generate a ton of business, just like they do on the back page of the sports section in the newspaper(Fry's does this numerous times a week).
This is where targeted ads fail. If I'm being targeted based off my activities, I've already accomplished what I wanted. My activities are in the past, not what I'm going to do.
This could also be a major step towards quantum computing.
Why is that just thrown in there? It seems kind of random. "Pizza Hut has created a bacon, cheese, AND sausage stuffed crust pizza! This amazing pizza is very delicious. This could also be a major step towards quantum computing."
It's pretty absurd though that the article talks about teenage girls being charged with a felony for taking pictures of themselves. What a world we live in.
Well, they started charging the boys first. And then the boys with good lawyers started making noise about the fact that the girls were producing the porn that put the boys in jail in the first place. So it's either charge the girls, or throw out convictions and get sued.
Shareholders are shortsighted. Everything is quarter to quarter these days. Google has shareholders, but Page and Brin own the majority of the shares so they have control, and when shareholders give them shit every year for spending so much money and resources on failed side ventures and pie in the sky stuff like self-driving cars, they tell the other shareholders to get bent, because they can't be raided by people like Carl Icahn and have their company taken from them because they're not giving a higher dividend or because their R&D budget is absurd.

Because shareholders will oust another CEO if the shareprices tumble again. Shareholders are who these companies are beholden to.
Target is still hurting from their breach. They know it's in their best interest to have a secure system.

You're trying to compare philosophy and science. Do they teach philosophy in college? Yes, they do.
For now. And then the old features will be sunsetted, much like the old GMail

Last I recall Chromium does not have native Flash playback like Chrome

Coming from Verizon, Netflix uses Cogent, not AWS. This is acknowledged by all three parties.

Well, no. Netflix is already being brought to their customers. Like the guy said, he can use it, it just doesn't look pretty.
Still introduces unneeded latency. Wire that bitch up.
They do have that. It's called Craigslist, or the Want-Ads/Recycler/Pennysaver in print

I thought the speculation for the difference in nearside and farside elevation was heavily favoring tidal influences?
Used to get plastic printed trains at Griffith Park when I was kid. Now, I can make my own plastic printed train. I'm so happy you have no idea
