Right and that cable company has little incentive to expand those pipes if service is good enough (which it is). Netflix was paying more, in order to deliver slightly faster buffering times to their customers. If Netflix isn't paying for the massive amount of bandwidth they're using, then it's the cable company customers who pick up the cost. Why should cable company customers, who don't even have netflix, be forced to subsidize the rest?
And just because the pipes are laid into my house, doesn't mean that the providers aren't constantly upgrading their switches and routers to handle all of this. If what they have is fine enough for non-netflix traffic, then let netflix pay more for what they hog.
Which startups can't provide the response times and connection speeds to compete?
This is an imaginary problem that hasn't even happened yet. Giving Netflix a faster path into my house hasn't changed anything for me. If anything, I can get torrents faster.
I don't care if Comcast wants to negotiate more money from Google for a fast lane. Net Neutality lets big companies like Google and Facebook off the hook and passes the upgrade costs onto consumers.
The internet has worked just fine without these regulations. Once the FCC starts regulating it, don't be surprised when they start to grow their mandate into regulating trolling as bullying, and other unintended consequences.
Seems like there are more megacorps benefiting from net neutrality, than what we have now. I'm not worried about Google, Facebook or even Netflix passing the costs onto me, so much as I am the cable company. They WILL pass the buck if their cost of business go up. For Google, it just means a small dip in revenue.
ESPN is the reason I cancelled Dish in the first place. It's the most costly channel in their lineup and I got sick of subsizing it. Had they chosen better, cheaper channels, I would have considered it.
...is that they introduce products with great potential but do little to follow up on them. If anything they make them worse over time. The only exceptions to this would seem to be search and android.
Modern IDEs practically write half your code for you and you know if you have a problem, before you even compile it. Developing in emacs will never be as fast, I don't care how good you are at it.
I did too. Until Chrome started sucking more. Then I went back to Firefox. I'm not comfortable with some of their recent moves, but no other browser is as flexible.

The Avalanche model is a Software Engineering project management anti-pattern, it is a combination of a sequential process such as the Waterfall model and Agile software development methodologies. It is the result of a Project Manager's attempt to apply Agile techniques to a project, when all they really understand or were taught was a sequential development cycle. Instead of breaking the project into parts that each sequentially go through the phases of development, the entire project inhabits all phases of development simultaneously. Usually the result of attempting to use the Avalanche model is mass confusion, wasted effort, and a product that cannot meet the specifications of any requirements document.
LG messed up the 7 too. I read somewhere that it's battery issues may be tied to the substandard wiring people were observing, when they took the unit apart. I have much better luck with the 10.
I have the 4, the 7 (2nd gen) and the 10. The Nexus 10 is the best smart anything I ever bought. Good speakers and nice sized screen. I can go a couple weeks between recharges. That should have been their flagship product.
I thought the 7, despite all the stellar reviews was garbage. Crummy battery life makes it unusable. I might get a day or two on this. The random reboots don't help either.
I have pretty much the exact same software on both, except that I confine my video watching to the 10. I'm lucky if I can even check my twitter feed on the 7, without having to plug it in everyday.
I don't see the point of the 9. A 7 is about the best you can comfortably manage with one hand. If you have to use two anyway, then they should have just moved up to an 11 or a 12.
Didn't the FBI just have to relax it's restrictions against pot smokers, in order to attract the talent they need? And are not illegal downloaders more common?
If you set up your swipe pattern first, and then encrypt from the command line, you can have a strong password for boot with a swipe to bring it out of sleep.
Good! The reason I'm using Linux is precisely because I've seen every one-size-fits-all solution fail. If that's what you're looking for, stick with Windows, Apple or the borg.
Most companies aren't interested in you recreating the wheel, they want you to get a working, maintainable product out the door in as little time as possible. Design patterns are more important to focus on than memory management these days.
C and C++ have their uses, but at the end of the day, C is little more than a macro-assembler and is completely inappropriate for most tasks in the business world. I've never worked anywhere where the C/C++ side of the project (there's always one group of holdouts) isn't consistently the long pole in the tent. After seeing several projects fail over this, I'd rather they "keep it real" on their own time.
Seems like they knocked it because of the Java and it wasn't Fedora/RPM friendly. But I've been through all of these and the plugin capabilities put jEdit on top IMO. With a little customization, it easier becomes the most powerful of the lot. The other editors are just Notepad clones by comparison.

You don't think something that isn't broken.

Because the internet has been broken so far?? In what way do you think this will make it better?

Uhh, from the Constitution:

They already have a name for this.

You must have gotten lucky. I've found many threads with people complaining about the same problems I've seen.
Yeah, I realized that after I posted. I confused the manufacturer with my 4 (which is pretty decent).

Why don't they just use Brawndo? It's the thirst mutilator.
I've just made it back from RTFA and Phoronix is calling it "Optional systemd Support".
We need to send in Jodie Foster, NOW!
When Germany rolled over the first time, it was an invitation for more. Same is true here with the American people.
