It isn't even just population density, it is some derivative of population density that accounts for how concentrated a population is.
It's the Alaska problem; the population density of most of Alaska is far lower than the population density of Alaska as a whole, so it looks far more impenetrable than it really is, because serving Anchorage gets you a huge percentage of the population (Alaska illustrates the problem with using population density well, but is essentially the opposite of the lower 48...).
So the issue is that the U.S. has a large population that lives at a density that is expensive to serve, both in absolute terms, and as a comparatively high percentage of the total population. Add in a lack of good regulation (my pet peeve is that there is no good reason that companies can advertise teaser rates without stating the ongoing rates and add 'fees' that push the monthly payment well over the advertised rates) and it isn't all that surprising that much of the country has shitty access.
You misread the article. It isn't calling you an idiot, it is pointing out that the pain in your ass will begin long before you get to prison, and that it is likely to be expensive.
You can yell as loud and as long as you want, there is still essentially no chance that you will succeed in changing the definition of probable cause.
Somewhat ironically, that's *what the article is about*, that probable cause is a much weaker standard than reasonable doubt, and so you can't necessarily think only in terms of reasonable doubt/trial when you are considering legal consequences. Sure, you might interpret the Constitution differently, but about 75% of the point of the article is how little that matters.
Sure, I'm more aware of how.htaccess works than you are inferring. I mentioned shared hosts because the cost/benefit of mucking with foreign ips is going to be much lower for people using a shared host (the provider is going to be more interested in protecting resources than the user is interested in protecting data, and so on).
Your history is a little odd. Also, what does bare minimum mean?
Anyway, Phoenix was started to get rid of xpfe and so that there could be a core group of drivers focusing on end user features (rather than anyone and everyone with cvs access dumping features in). The focus wasn't "A browser with minimal features", it was "A browser, with features that users want", instead of "a browser, mail client, html editor,...".
There are enough people who think Firefox is getting bloated that you could probably have a go at making a browser that didn't do anything.
No, no, no, I'm apologizing for Google! It is entirely practical for them to buy support *now*, while making sure to support open standards on an ongoing basis, especially on Android, where they can influence the part of the market that matters (because people wanting to use their phones with Google apps are going to give a shit about open whatever that their phone doesn't support...).
(And I haven't purchased any drm media, save a few DVDs, so I am pretty fuzzy on all the drm-gone-wrong stories out there.)
Yes, how awful that their backend systems will interoperate with the tens of millions currently deployed devices (both for Google and the people that own the devices). I would imagine that, were they unable to obtain a license, Google would end up implementing the support in house anyway.
The good news is that it doesn't have to be either/or, they can probably manage to support open standards along with this protocol.
If you have a big enough box, you don't have to pay much attention to thermodynamics. Human activities are still mostly noise when you look at the amount of energy being dumped into the planet by the sun and then radiated off (maybe not quite noise, but on the level of 1%, if I remember the number from when I last did the math...).
Basically, as long as you waste lots of energy, you can do a pretty good job managing the material issues. Guessing wildly, I would think that economics kicks in way before thermodynamics.
How much less? If the first world cuts consumption by half, that leaves increasing energy capture and generation by a factor of 3 for everyone to catch up, with no population increase. That's instead of a factor of 5, and 50% is preposterous.
Conservation is still a good, no, great way to save money, but it isn't going to solve the energy problem. Conserving 10% barely even matters in the overall context.
Imagine his productivity with a wireless mouse. He could even use his feet.
I switch to my left hand if my right hand starts to ache, switching the buttons would make it more confusing to use other computers, so that doesn't happen.
The linux licensing model is certainly easier for end users, but I'm pretty sure that illiterate monkeys are they only ones who have trouble with the legibility of the labels (the literate monkeys do okay...).
Really, after ~30 months and thousands of hours, the label on this laptop barely even shows wear.
It isn't that hard to create a recovery disc (at least, on the admittedly small number of systems I have seen). It's not as easy as simply having the disc, but it only takes about ten minutes.
Apparently, the answer is that [GIANT CORPORATION] believes that they can get services equivalent to what you are providing, for less money. They are wondering why they should pay you more. Oh, and they don't really care if you like it or think it is ok.
If this bothers you, minimize your dealings with corporations that act as such and lobby your government representatives for change (for all the good it will do, [GIANT CORPORATION] has better lobbyists than you).
I guess the upshot is that the average standard of living in the other country is likely to go up more than the American standard of living goes down (which, while rather abstract, is a good thing...).
My entire point was that Apple (and others!) can grow without really impacting Microsoft, not that Microsoft is a good investment. That Microsoft grew counters the notion that they are set up for failure, it doesn't do anything to establish that it is a better investment than some other arbitrary company, and I don't think I made that implication.
To put it another way, it isn't clear to me that there is a race, so picking winners and losers doesn't make any sense.
I don't use Linux or KDE, but the apparent level of blowback regarding KDE4 at least suggests that they could have done a better job communicating what to expect (or done it earlier).
You think it is immoral to break the law? 'Wrong' carries at least slight moral connotations. People who break the law should certainly expect to deal with the consequences of their actions, but arguing that it is immoral to break a law is a path to insanity.

Well, everything is supposed to be bigger in Texas.

On the other hand, I don't live in a city, because it keeps me from bitching about living in a city.

Perhaps you are, for some reason, projecting.

That typo is awesome and I am now considering litigation against several of my possessions.

I don't think it is usually done (for one thing, small time sites are usually on a shared host).

Isn't the limit substantially less than light speed?

What do you use to interface Ubuntu to the forklift?

It'll be a slight pain.
