Moreover, there are people from all around the globe working on the LHC. That makes it's location even more meaningless. I personally know some folks from my country (Argentina) that are working on the LHC and I know there are many scientists from many other countries working there too. Who cares where it's located?
There was a time when you had to be very careful about the ram and the processing limitations. You had to make sure you had enough space for your variables and make some weird stuff to get more done with less resources. That's all gone now, hardware is relatively cheap so too little people care about optimizing the size of stuff.
Just what the subject says... We in Argentina have presidential elections in October. If you are an Argentinean, think about this censorship, think about the fines they issued at anyone doing private (and real) inflation indexes, think about the current government war agains one of the mayor TV, radio, newspapers and magazines producer. Think about all that and then decide who you are going to vote.
That's exactly what happened to me and my N95. I was laghing at my friends when they were amazed because they finally got multitasking and copy/paste in their iPhones. I had that since day 1 and years before the iPhone was even a concept.
Well... sometimes they are right but decide to hide the information "for the common good" or "to prevent panic"... because they know better, right? who are we to decide for ourselves?
I have the same problem but worse. I was getting emails from an online bill paying systems from other country that aren't for me. My best guess is that the $%&"&!#$& guy didn't know his own fricking address and entered mine by mistake. I got tired of reporting the issue so I finally decided to reset the site password (got the new pass by email), login, change the address and password to something random so I would never remember it and then logoff. If people is stupid enough to type a wrong address in their homebanking account they deserve worse than that.
All the other emails I get that were for someone else, I'm just sending a reply telling the sender that the address is wrong and then I flag it as spam (using gmail).
IP addresses in IPv6 are ugly so I doubt they can be used that way. OTOH, saying some site is "IPv6 certified" or some other BS like that may be used as marketing tool, and people would buy it just like they buy anything in a green package thinking it's healthy.
Pretty much all old LucasArts games are awesome. Not sure if all of these were Lucas' but they are excelent adventure games. Maniac Manison, Day of the Tentacle, Zak Mackraken, the Indiana Jones saga, the monkey Island saga, Full Throttle, Sam & Max, and more. And of course, "The Dig"
Just think about it for a second... do you remember the "jailbreakme" site that could jailbreak an iPhone by just visiting the site? What makes you think there arent holes like that in Mac OS X too ?
I got virus on DOS and Linux (yes, linux), but never on windows because I use a good antivirus and I'm carefull, but I've seen tons of peopler using free and popular antiviruses like AVG getting infected. Having said that, prolly the only reason I never got a virus in a Mac is because I never had one.
Nokia ruled the smartphone market globally with symbian for ages. I have a 5 year old symbian phone (N95) and it does everything (gps, nice camera, java, flash, accelerated 3D graphics, wifi, multitasking, etc, etc, etc). It was only in the US where symbian didn't have much acceptance, but if you consider the global market share then nokia was the ruler of the smartphone market until 2010 Q4 when android surpassed Symbian as the most common operating system in smartphones. MeeGo was never a player in the smartphone arena and Maemo was just a niche player. Too bad the borged nokia ditched symbian too:-( There are some interesting chars in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone#Operating_systems
Well... maybe because they were 90% there with Maemo is that they were borged. Think about it from the MS perspective... borging nokia was prolly their last chance to gain marketshare in the smartfone market and it would have been lost forever if Maemo/MeeGo were to be succesfull.
My point was that a coax cable is better suited for a wider range of frequencies than a regular phone line. Also, for the conditions where those cables have to be used (in many places they are outdoors, covering relatively long distances and exposed to the elements) a good quality coaxial cable is more reliable than a standard phone pair.
Of course a 10Gbit cable is much better than a coax, but the distance is much smaller and the external conditions are more controlled (or they should be). But a 10Gbit cable is NOT a phone line.
You are grouping ADSL lines and Ethernet UTP cables together like they were the same thing. They are not. Try patching 4 phone lines together in a couple of RJ-45 connectors and see if you can even get 10 Mbit ethernet working properly... and I mean working properly... not just link and small ping packets. Try to copy a big file over and see what happens. Even using CAT-5 cables the throughput will suck if you mess up with the pairs order. Trust me, I've seen it and it's ugly.

I had copied the exact same sentence to make the samo comment.
You got it first.

Everything is US centric for some US people... I feel sorry for them. They have no idea there is a bigger world out there.

No, they didn't fix it.
They just patched it temporarily for a few hours.
you on crack?
Microsoft only cares about Microsoft.
Android sucks, it's just that people hadn't realised it yet.

it's good to see MeeGo ain't dead after mama Nokia cheated papa Intel with his friend Microsoft.
amen brother!
Is Cu-SeeMe still around?
That little piece of software was capable of group video calls like 16 years ago.
