But what I don't understand is do Americans have Internet without cable tv?
My phone company offers DSL. So do a dozen other providers that lease the lines from the phone company. Most people I know have told me that DSL is too slow for streaming. They denied my claim that my DSL connection streamed HD Netflix just fine for years. They flat out just didn't believe me.
Now my phone company now offers a fiber line with 1Gbps up and down. It's only a little more expensive than the DSL.
To be the fastest internet in America, you have to provide the fastest internet in America. Just one counter example is enough to discredit the claim. If you are going to argue semantics where size of area served is taken into account, than add that qualifier to the claim!
It's a nice IDE, but the editor is pretty mediocre compared with vi, Emacs, Sublime Text, and others. The Visual Studio extension ecosystem is just not that mature.
Your previous statements did not address the finance ministers actions, so I'm going to assume you have no statement on that topic. Seems I had wasted a lot of our time trying to actually have a debate about something interesting. I'll take this as a lesson learned. Enjoy doing that shit.
You seem to be mostly emphasizing me being a PENIS, a DICK and BUTT HURT. If you are not aware, emphasis is better applied through bold and italic text. All caps is a bit more like shouting. This is doubly so when you use the all caps to call someone names. It really does weaken your argument.
To the topic at hand: Everything you said about the Greek economy was about their culture. The only thing you said about the finance minister is that he was a part of that culture. While that's true, it did not address what he did or failed to do, which is what I asked.
Perhaps not doing, but they say they can do it and ask you to agree to it. That's pretty bad. I also wouldn't agree to a contract that says a company can do X but trust us we won't. That's why I don't buy games on Steam "We can delete your account for any reason whenever we like" are bad terms of sale, in my book.
With your name calling and all caps, you seem to care very much. As I had pointed out before, just because he was the finance minister at the time does not mean it was caused by him. In fact, given how their government is structured, it's unclear how he could have prevented the crisis. Can you name one thing he had the power to do that would have prevented it?
You may continue thinking that one man tanked the Greek economy, but then you are missing a tonne of contributing factors. That was all the point I was making.
uh-huh...... i was only stating it for the obvious joy of the irony. I am well aware of the fact thast it's far more complex however why should i let that get in the way of a bit of ironic shits and giggles....?
Because it isn't actually ironic? If he was powerless to prevent the crisis, then him speaking up about his experience in office is hardly irony (since he didn't cause the crisis).
We don't know her motivations for making this talk. Perhaps she needs closure by telling her story? From what I understand, she's not actually calling him out by name. The reason we know is because a reporter dug into it.
To say one man's policies were the cause of the Greek financial crisis is a bit overly simplistic. In fact, due to how Greece's economy and financial system was structured, the Finance Minister probably could not have had corrected the situation before it became a crisis.
That is a very good answer to the question. The more general answer is "information" and "education" in all areas of life. The correlation between education and status growth is well studied and I'm surprised the question even had to be asked.
What makes an hour of one man's lifetime more valuable than an hour of another man's?
What an odd question. It seems you're implying that all hours of all lives should be valued equally.
That's not what that question implies at all. That question asks, quite plainly, what is it that we as a society value such that we as a society value one man's hour more than another. Obviously we don't value everyone's time the same, but we do value some things more than others. It appears that *what* those things are is the crux of the matter, and what the question was asking.
Not very, is the answer. I bought a movie from Amazon. I wanted to watch it on my family vacation to Canada. I couldn't, because it was region locked. They were nice enough to refund me that purchase and every Amazon Video purchase I had ever made, though. These days, I no longer buy media. That whole industry has soured me on "owning" media. I only rent because at least then I get what I paid for.
Well, you wrote "the claimant is a legal representative of the copyright owner" not "the claimant is a legal representative of the organisation asserting the copyright and making the complaint." Sorry about the confusion if you meant the second, not the first.
Which is why he said "Want guaranteed speeds?" You don't, so of course you won't take the deal. I have a dedicated circuit because I want guaranteed speed. I also pay less than my local cable company charges (though I get slower than they "say I'll get"). It's certainly not orders of magnitude more than them, though.

When you choose to allocate your time to an open source project, you are choosing to allocate your "private" capital to that project.
That's true but there are also people who's public time is allocated to an open source project.

What does "fast enough to stream" mean to you? We cut the cord and switched to 5mbps DSL and streamed HD content just find from Netflix.

I meant "Also, why can they not be turned off without installing a third-party utility?" It should be an easy-to-find user setting.
Perhaps not doing, but they say they can do it and ask you to agree to it. That's pretty bad. I also wouldn't agree to a contract that says a company can do X but trust us we won't.

That can be minimized.
Minimized is vague. Which parts can be turned off and which parts cannot? Also, why can they not be turned off?!

> former finance Minister from Greece(ie the one that landed them in the shit)
Seems to me you said he was the Finance Minister from Greece who landed them in the shit. Why resort to name calling? It weakens your argument.
You may continue thinking that one man tanked the Greek economy, but then you are missing a tonne of contributing factors. That was all the point I was making.

I wonder what proportion of the growth can be attributed to his company being in the national consciousness from the press coverage it garnered?
Well, you wrote "the claimant is a legal representative of the copyright owner" not "the claimant is a legal representative of the organisation asserting the copyright and making the complaint." Sorry about the confusion if you meant the second, not the first.
In this case, the person who files the claim is not a legal representative of the copyright owner. Sony did not own the copyright.
Which is why he said "Want guaranteed speeds?" You don't, so of course you won't take the deal. I have a dedicated circuit because I want guaranteed speed. I also pay less than my local cable company charges (though I get slower than they "say I'll get"). It's certainly not orders of magnitude more than them, though.
Um, what other smart phones cost under $205? I can think of none.
