Big difference. They aren't saying the other browsers suck. They are just saying this is what they recommend.
And the sites that block you forcing you on a specific browser is because they require the browser to be compatible. IE has many MS specific features that Chrome didn't implement for security/stability reasons. Otherwise I haven't seen any web site block my browsers. I use all 3 so maybe I'm extremely lucky or maybe it's because I don't browse www.ilovegannys.com
All that said, I've rarely seen an instance of actual QoS throttling. Craptastic routes, yes. Overloaded peering, many times
BS! Whether QoS or just plain protocol based throttling, everyday at exactly 11:30pm my upload speed on my torrents goes from 20Kb/s to 70Kb/s. That's not a coincidence.
Exactly. On top of that in the contract they do not guarantee the full speed. Even with a business level FTTN advertised at 28 down and 15 up. The guaranteed amount as per the contract was 12 and 6.
The fact is that he infrastructure in many places isn't capable of sustaining the needs of all house holds using Netflix. This was a non issue at first but as more subscribers realize they can get advertisement free entertainment for 1/10 the cost of satellite and cable, the demand for Netflix has significantly increased.
After reading this 3 times I still don't understand where you were going with this. At one point your talking about jurisdiction and then your talking about fire trucks smashing into vehicles.
Simply put, EVERYWHERE in north America you a not allowed to park by a fire hydrant the same way you can't park on a sidewalk.
I'm happy to see there's another real person with real life experience. If cops were giving infractions to people that didn't commit those infractions we wouldn't be having the same conversation.
And good for you for getting a break. We all deserve one once in a while.
If so, why not just pay the ticket. Fighting the ticket is thinking you should be left off the hook which tells me the system doesn't hold people accountable for their actions.
Like I said to the other guy. One of the first things you learn in the drivers manual is not to park by a fire hydrant. The hydrant is self explanatory...
Since when does one need a sign to know not to park by a fire hydrant. It's one of the first thing you learn in the drivers manual. Are we going to have to start putting signs on the highway saying you can't park in the middle lane?
I'm not sure where you get this idea but the Alternator accounts for a very very very small portion of engine power requirements. Upgrading the Alternator to a slightly higher output alternator is not difficult to do at all. Cop cars run on 2 alternators due to their high power requirements.
Car manufacturers aren't putting in LED lights for economy reasons. They are doing it because it's a better source of lighting and is longer lasting.
Your argument is not completely false as Mazda's Sky-Active technology actually turns off the alternator during acceleration but the savings are minimal (1-3HP). When my friend did a dyno on his old muscle car, taking off the utility belt saved him only 8HP out of the ~375HP he was producing. This included the following items: Fuel pump, alternator, water pump and power steering. The power steering is by far the biggest pig on the engine so that leaves little for the alternator.
The inherit problem with computers in cars is that cars are around far too long while the rest of technology is either flexible to be updated or simply replaced. Most mobile phone users changed their phones every 2-3 years while most people keep a car 7 - 12 years.
At the end of the day the devices send commands to the onboard computer. As long as the logic put into these boxes and their configuration is simple (which it isn't in the older versions) than you do not need to worry about the aging of onboard computers as it now becomes the responsibility of the mobile device manufacturer to implement the API properly.
That is why they have mediators that you go through before seeing a judge. It allows a much higher percentage of cases to be handled/dismissed.
If your 10% figure is correct then that tells me people aren't accountable for their actions (no surprised). If you park in a no park zone or speed excessively you should just pay the ticket. It's your fault you broke the law in the first place. And don't tell me that most infractions given aren't warranted because I won't believe it. Over the course of my life I have received 5 - 10 traffic infractions and I have paid every single one of them because I was at fault every single time.
If you get a parking ticket and there is no signs, you need to take a picture. That will get you off the hook without seeing the judge. At least that's the case where I live.
Where were you setting up? I'm in the process of looking for land and have looked at the cost of building a 40x40 house (Estimated) + 28x30 garage on a 2 acre lot. The range I was giving for a building permit was 60 000 to 80 000. This is in the GTA (Grand Toronto Area).
I can only see rates like this for building downtown Toronto or Vancouver and even that seems high. Was there a deposit included in that? I know they require a deposit in some areas. What they do is pay it back to you after they look to see if you damaged surrounding infrastructures (road, sidewalk...) while building your house.
It's not for some reason, it's for a bad reason. They followed customer feedback without understanding what users really needed. Customers made them believe they wanted a seamless device to device experience which resulted in Metro GOOWY!! The intent wasn't bad but the implementation was horrendous. They should have had their own IT staff and programmers work with it. It would have been obvious that it's not friendly to the technical user or even a regular user with a mouse and keyboard.
Some organizations are large enough and organized enough to help employees grow in their current and future roles but some are too small and cannot afford the down time as they require expertise right away.
That said, in my experience individuals who struggle to get to the level of competence required are more loyal employees hence a reduced cost of employment long term. They are also more accepting of a slower career path.
I get what you are saying but it still comes down to the fact that these machines assist humans. Making a 2 man job a 1 man job is not automation. Automation is street lights changing automatically. Name 10 jobs that have been completely replaced by machines. I bet you for almost every single one of them I can prove machines are only assisting.
Translation technology has not progressed very much in the last 15 years. The main reason is that it requires computers to be programmed to understand context. The sole reason why computers have not been able to come remotely close to replacing manual labor is this exact problem. The point is that at the current time and probably for another 50-100 years, machines will assist.
BTW, there is still skill involved even in using a nail gun. Have you ever used one? Sure, it will only take you half the time to figure out the nail gun over the hammer since there is more agility involved in using a hammer, but it is still a skill to use it properly and effectively. I've seen guys in shipping go through 100 nails in 2 minutes where as I would take 20 to do the same. That's a skill.

I don't even know what you just added to the argument. As far as I can see you just wanted to write something that has no value.
My anecdote is real life. I've never been stopped for "FUN". Not saying it doesn't happen but I'm sure it's a very small percentage.
Did you not speed?
If so, why not just pay the ticket. Fighting the ticket is thinking you should be left off the hook which tells me the system doesn't hold people accountable for their actions.
My response was aimed at the comment from Houston. Not the actual article. The Hydrant inherently is a no parking sign.
Like I said to the other guy. One of the first things you learn in the drivers manual is not to park by a fire hydrant. The hydrant is self explanatory...
I did read it and see the pictures.

Correct, the fuel pump was driven directly from the rotating assembly so that leaves Alternator, Water pump and power steering.
I'm not sure where you get this idea but the Alternator accounts for a very very very small portion of engine power requirements. Upgrading the Alternator to a slightly higher output alternator is not difficult to do at all. Cop cars run on 2 alternators due to their high power requirements.

Are you suggesting that parking by fire hydrants should be allowed or that the fire hydrants should be moved?
I would not consider maintenance assistance as while the machine is working it does not require a human hand to help it.
Yes, a form of 3D printing not readily available to most people hence the lack of programs to make the parts.

As far as I can read, they aren't talking about complete incompetency. Just someone needing more help to get to the same point.
Why would they target anybody else than Windows users? It accounts for 80% of the PC OS.
The last 20% is shared between Unix, Linux and Apple. Apple actually 11% of that last 20%.

My 2 cents.
