there are 5 ARM architecture licenses in the world which let you build the ARM instructions into your own custom design everyone else has the vanilla license where you can use the reference design with minor changes allowed
apple and qualcomm are custom designs that run the ARM instruction set. only three other companies in the world have that license. everyone else gets to make the ARM reference design
i have some family who had a 2001 Acura and a 1992 Ford at the time the Acura qualified but the Ford didn't. so they kept on driving the ford to work in a not so good area for another few years
if you were doing a withdrawl, wouldn't the bank know it's not a web browser if the criminal had some hidden command line code running trying to say transfer money via the bank website?
you could put all the non-drm music you bought or "acquired" you want on them, but anything with DRM was always only itunes music. the same thing was with every other MP3 player of the time with a DRM'd music store. but only apple is left and they have the money
i've used itunes since 2003 and have bought music from itunes, amazon and emusic and always used itunes as the master program and it never deleted any non-DRM music.
this was about people trying to sync DRM that some other company reverse engineered onto their ipods that didn't support it. plain MP3's bought from amazon and anywhere else and "acquired" music never had any issues. the amazon downloader will even add your music to itunes automatically. i can even sync my Note 3 with itunes on my macbook
RTFA they are using arrest records to determine priority in assigning cases and asking for bail. if you have a dozen arrests expect your case to get more attention than being arrested protesting one time
except you don't need even that much to surf a web site. virtualization is the problem. all the servers are oversubscribed to use every little bit of RAM and CPU so the bean counters can cream their shorts with higher return on asset ratios
i could surf netflix and youtube just fine over the weekend. amazon was as fast as usual. but toys r us and best buy were like watching trees grow and toys r us store inventory checker was broken
most NYC medallions are owned by a few people who lease them out. the largest owner is a russian immigrant who owns around 200 medallions he bought up in the 80's and runs a garage where the serfs pay him to lease cars, he owns a gas station to sell his serfs gasoline, etc.
for the rest they are owned by immigrants who happen to have a lot of cash governments don't know about and it's a nice way to launder that money
not even rush hour. what happens in the summer time when everyone wants to go to the beach? NYC it's like $30 a person per trip to go to a nice beach outside NYC. $120 per day for a family of 4. and you have to drag all your crap around with you on the trains and busses and be packed like sardines with your kids. zipcars and others will probably be all rented up and would cost you $150 a day or so for this.
so the choice is buy a car for weekend driving and have freedom or pay the same amount of money for a socialist solution that will turn simple trips into special events you have to reserve long in advance
try taking the subway in NYC on the weekend from the bronx to the brooklyn or queens to brooklyn and maybe living far away from a station. 2-3 hours EACH WAY
which defeats the whole purpose of high speed rail in the first place, especially when we have commuter airports outside the big cities. and you can always take a bus where you need to go from the airport or a cab or whatever. no need to spend $100 billion or more for HSR or some upgraded train system to duplicate existing systems
1/3 of your ticket is paying for the local airports to operate along with the rents they generate and car rental fees. the subsidies are mostly there for out in the boonies airports
i'm in IT for another small telecom and help update the taxation database monthly. you won't believe it, but taxes and fees literally change every month.
Comcast, Time Warner and other cable companies were originally TV companies. they laid their cable in the 80's and 90's and offered ONLY TV services. they didn't start offering internet until around 1999 and mostly not until 2001 or so as an add on to cable TV. the phone part came around 2003 after vonage came out.
they didn't lay their cables to compete with the baby bells and didn't lay in each other's territories because it was no point in having 2 or three companies offering the same channels for the same prices
the baby bells were born in the 80's and AT&T became a pure long distance phone company. yes in those days you had to pay for LD calls separately. they were expensive and so the baby bells wanted part of it and the 1996 Telecom Act was born where they were required to lease out their local lines in exchange for entry to the LD phone market.
wireless didn't get popular until 9/11/2001 and you still had to pay per text back then
the next tech is fiber, but the estimate is $140 billion for a nationwide roll out and when you run the numbers it's very hard to make a profit when people are willing to pay more per GB for cell service. if history is any guide, cell data will be cheaper in a few years. back when i got my first cell phone it was 450 minutes a month and pay per text and no unlimited minutes for calling on the same carrier

in the last decade a bunch of companies bought frequencies and sat on them and never used them only to resell them at a profit

good luck. i'm doing jury duty on a civil case in NYC now and the system will break you before you see any money
NYC is taking away their data overages money
