My workplace has a temporary building to accomodate overflow until a new perminant site is built. I don't know what the walls are, but we can't get a decent signal from one room to another adjacent. I suspect it's some sort of wire mesh inside for structural support.
Surprisingly, no-one in the above comments seems to have pointed this out (Unless it's burried too deep for me to have noticed). Internet access isn't supplied per-person. It's per-household. That makes this essentially collective punishment: If one member of the household commits the offense, then they are all made to suffer.
Maybe for now. But given the sheer volume of reports that must be submitted to have any significent impact on piracy, I imagine such a long-winded procedure would soon be replaced with something a little faster. Most likely something like a souped-up version of the DMCA, where a copyright holder simply makes the claim without any evidence at all and the accused is disconnected upon their word alone - but does have the option of appealing at their own expense if the accusation is in error.
There are many applicants for each job, so employers can be picky. If they have a set of candidates who are all qualified and of similar levels of experience, they'll pick the one who is most 'normal' in their personal life, and thus least likely to somehow embarass the company or to just not get on with other employees.
China wouldn't go to war, it's bad for the economy - and they don't really care that much what the rest of the world thinks of them. No, they'd just make sure the documents were never spoken of domestically except in hushed whispers - first by making sure their equivilent of Manning was tried and executed (It's no good disappearing him, the people have to know about it), and then by making it clear that any reporter or even blogger who so much as mentions the contents of the documents faces many years in jail. It should go without saying that any forign site that published them or discussion of them would go on the blacklist, and I imagine they'd put key phrases from the documents on the filter too to ensure any new copies are swiftly detected and blocked likewise.
Sorry, but there is no way that pasture systems can be as efficient as ithe modern intensive farming system. That's exactly why we use the intensive system - it can produce so much more food from a given area, and for such a low cost, that it's almost impossible for anything else to compete in the market. The only possible way is to target the premium market of customers who will pay extra, such as by labeling the food as organic.
The pirates have legends of this. The university dump servers. Some say that these rare boxes are made on university connections, secret stashes of many terabytes, built by those departments with the skill to operate such a beast and to satisfy the demands of students desperate for free entertainment. They often live up in the IPv6 space, where no anti-piracy organisation has yet thought to look. For those who can gain access, untold wealth of data awaits, connected on multi-gigabit links only a hop or three from the backbone.
Flaw: Blu-ray is insane bitrate. There is no way any streaming service would go anywhere near that high. I know from my experience as an occasional movie pirate that with good x264 compression a 720p looks good in 4.4GB, and a 1080p in 10GB - and that's for something action-intensive too. Which means that 1TB HD will hold 100 movies. In practice, I imagine most video streaming services would use a crappy bitrate if at all possible, sacrificing quality so that they can supply customers on lower-speed connections too. Why would they limit themselves to those of the best network performance?
I have only ever found one good use for capslock. The run-lock in Duke Nukem 3d, in the era before FPSs went mouse-control and the runlock became obsolete.
You can't wrap fish any more. Not in this country, anyway. Used to be done all the time, but there were concerns about potentially dangerous chemicals in the paper or ink. Since no-one wants to get every type of both certified safe by the appropriate regulator, chip shops just started using plain paper.
All of which are done perfectly well from geostationary. Manufacturing from LEO, which is cheaper to get to. They don't provide any commercial justification for deep space technology.
Private industry goes where the money is. Com-sat, mostly. And weather. Low earth orbit or geostationary. There just isn't any money to be made in things further afield, or in manned space flight of any type. There are mineable resources, but it's a lot cheaper to mine them on Earth than it would be to send mining equipment and operators into space. Space tourism has too small a market of the filthy rich to justify setting up the infrastructure. There are some science things that can be done in microgravity, and even a few industrial processes like manufacturing perfect crystals for microchip production, but nothing that would be commercially viable. The ISS exists for microgravity experiments, but it isn't expected to make money.
You can't see the leftovers from the landing via telescope from earth. The resolving power just isn't good enough, even with adaptive optics. You can still find the retroreflector though, with the appropriate instruments, and there are a number of sites that not only can do so but do on a regular basis in order to track the earth-moon distance.
A button is either in, or it's not. That sounds somewhat easier than precise positioning of a cursor.
My mouse has two buttons on the left-hand side. They work as forward and back buttons when browsing. If you made them into one button (No hardware alteration required) they would be very easy to press.
Useless for dragging then... How about putting one of those extra buttons on some mice to use? Hold it down for zoom-and-precise mode, and return to normal upon release.
Who actually buys from the Sony store anyway? They don't have a loyal cult like Apple does. I imagine almost all their sales are via other retail channels.
It's partly about princibles. The management of Planned Parenthood has them, and isn't happy about sacrificing the option of abortion. They don't like it, but it's a symbol of women's right to control their own bodies, to do as they want with their reproductive capacity. Sacrifice abortion, and you are telling women that they are just incubators - that once egg meets sperm, their rights are revoked.
Also, should PP simply spin off abortion services as a seperate legal entity, it would be very expensive - they couldn't share clinics, so it'd need more buildings, more staff. It wouldn't even solve the problem: It wouldn't be long before someone in government (State or federal) just gets a law passed saying that no government money may go to any organisation that provides any form of money to an organisation that provides abortion. Planned Parenthood subsidises abortion a bit, again out of princibels - the view that those women who can't afford abortion are those most desperatly in need. After all, if they can't afford a single medical payment, how can they afford the expense of raising a child?
Even PP doesn't actually support abortions for their own sake, though. That is why they put so much into distributing contraception. Abortion is something they regard as the option of last resort, but nonetheless an option that must remain available. Contraception and education are plan A - used properly. Plan B is plan B. Abortion? Plan C.
Taking this somewhere more abstract though, you have hit upon a problem in the structure of government. You don't want your money going to fund abortion, yes. But somewhere around half the population of the US doesn't want their money going to fund the continuing operations in Afganistan. There are people in the US who would not want any of their money to go on funding schooling, for they have ideological objections to the government getting involved in the education of children. There are many who would not want their money spent on subsidising corn, many who would not want their money spent on enforcing laws prohibiting pot. I doubt you could find a single piece of government spending that the entire tax base supports. So just because you object to how your money is spent doesn't mean you should have any control over it - if you did, it would be impossible for government to exist at all. They aren't your tax dollars, they are the collective tax dollars of the country - the only right you have to them is the right to vote for representatives who agree with you on how they should be spent.
But mostly abortion. It's the promise they made to appease their base - that they would not only forbid any federal funding for abortions (which was already done, has been for years) but forbid any federal money going to any organisation which provides abortion. The intention being to force hospitals to cease providing abortion in order to continue getting their funding.
One of the comments on the article says he has seen a similar controller chip before, used in a vehicle black-box. It writes data to flash, looping over when it reaches the end - that way it'll never run out of space, and in the event of a crash severe enough to cut the power the flash will contain the logs of the time immediatly prior. I suppose it's plausible that such a chip exists that would also present the data as apparently a simple file on a FAT filesystem, in order to make it easier for the programmers getting data on or off. Then all it needs is for some dodgy trader to get his hand on a crate of those cheap and realise that cheap blackbox chip plus cheap USB memory stick equals fake but expensive SSD.

UK is actually a little bit bigger. The full title is 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.' As the name implies, UK == GB + NI.
The Republic of Ireland we don't like to talk about. It just sits there, quietly on our border, refusing to join in. Looking suspicious.

This is an economic matter. Externalised costs don't count, because someone else pays them.
