Having a country/ISP with badly oversold bandwidth, im very used to the difference between the speed of your connection to your provider, versus the speed you could eventually get, depending on hour, day of week, or things like that to "internet". The physical connection to my provider could deliver that bandwidth, and that is the speed that is sold, but usually cant get that speed to the sites i visit.
Regarding lies or not, "up to" means "less or equal". They would be lying if you get more than that speed, but getting even 1bps would met their claims.
Seems like somewhat the ones that care about that moved to the other side of the ocean. In the original place that phrase got changed to "we, the government", "we, the corporations", or even "we, the army", and the people there seems to be happy with that.
Star Wars totally won over Blade Runner on derivative editions. To balance things, they should save Han Solo reputation and show that what really happened is that Rick Deckard shoot first.
Inneficient or not in the actual hardware, when you charges for phone calls (international or not) and have a flat or high volumen enough data plan, for the end user is more efficient (at least, in cost) to use data for talking.
... if you are worried about the fuel that you save if you are less fat. Not using the car/suv/whatever will make you save even more fuel, if i.e. walk a block or 2 to get somewhere instead of going in car, or use more bycicle. Not using the car at all when there are other alternatives will usually be healthier. Taking a bus won't be as healthier as walking or going in bycicle, but still you will save fuel. And all of this works even if you are skinny.
There is a lot of United States of..., and usually the country is known as the last part (i.e the official full name of Mexico is basically United States of Mexico). Could be discussed if there is right to "own" the continents with that pick of a name, but by the time the name was picked there was the only "united states" of the continent. There are more geographic related country names, i.e. Uruguay (first example that came to my mind because i live there:), South Africa and a lot more, that seem to claim ownership over something that they don't own.
With individual brain cells you won't get anything close to that. Even trying at will of doing something, probably won't be very useful, will be more like getting slow binary signals or morse code. And raising the number of cells should be not help, your concience just works at another level, would be like hiting with a building a touchscreen of the size of the iphone.
Well, at least the FBI knows how much. And also knows that *AA ask for copyright violations enough money to do several banks bailouts, pay external debt, and even finance a trip to Pandora. Is not their fault that math work that way.
considering how little of what we do is rational instead of basically blind copying like monkeys ways of express ourselves, tastes, and how we look and behave. Isolated individuals could take some rational choices, but the big mass will just follow the community.
Can we at least try to get to the point where space colonization won't be such madness? Then we can decide if we want to do it or not. Not having the option, even if we want, is the worst part of this.
There are things that will take long till "expiration" (i.e. sun turning into white dwarf), things that we can predict with enough time to take measures, and things for what we won't be ready in the time they will take to happen (i.e. this asteroid with 1 in 1000 or 500 chances to hit Earth next century, if it were be big enough to wipe us all, would we have enough time to do something serious about that if we start to prepare now?).
Maybe we should take life like there is no future, we will be happier, at least until the future reaches us.
Turning the phone off will save battery too. The point is having the option. And won't affect battery/performance if not activated, and not visiting a site with flash. Considering how much you have to do to reach that point (jailbreak phone, install flash, enable it in your browser, and actually visiting a site with flash) then you really want to get that functionality, battery or not. Same could be said about bright screen, gps, 3g or in general, or any app that takes cpu
You can always choose to not be connected, being wifi there or not. The main problem is people staying hours there during peak hours buying only a coffee, so reading a book, working offline or browsing online is more or less the same. You have to decide if you want to have the customers there for more time (having wifi available would be the same to let them pick books or the newspaper and read them while there), or a fast rotation of them. If you get usually full without having a lot of long staying customers then the second option could be the best one.
I remember the good ol' times when the way to scare people to use secure software was arguing that if their machine/web site was unsafe, someone that could want to harm them could put there things about terrorism, drugs, or child porn (and link google to that to put the engine in motion). Botnets are now a bit more real scare tactic.
They are killing the standalone version, but that dont implies that they wont use/embed/whatever it in other of their existing or future products. Would be great an isolated version of it in google apps for your domain, in buzz or, who knows, something that integrate tools instead of seeing them as separate entities with a common authentication.
Also (some of?) the code is open, another company could deploy/evolve it.
Technology is a just tool. Knowing how to use it, and knowing how to teach could enhance a lot what you can do as teacher. And there are some difficulties at teaching that are more related to expressing yourself than knowing about the topic, so giving you another way to express yourself could turn a "bad" teacher into one that now could deliver his message. Of course, bad teachers with no clue about how to teach will still be bad. And good teachers with no clue on technology could get a degradation in how they teach if they are more busy trying to make the tech work than trying to actually teach.
In the end, is up to the teacher to decide if the technology could be useful or not. Forbidding or forcing to use tech is bad, but just having the tech available and letting the teacher decide, try, or learn about it won't hurt, and could give good reward at the end.

Probably would be better to have a second life instead of no life.

Whats next? Entire cultures seeing suicide as something cool that should be tried at least once by anyone?

He should play it next... and on a cellphone (at the very least is available for the N900). Then we will get an interesting review,

Probably the right answer for that question would be 42. Matters what happens after you?

And what you will do tomorrow with all the blind people and those strange plants chasing them on the street?
Not sure about you, but ust in case i got some triffid planted. Not sure what name will have Aug 3, but i know how to call Aug 4.
See? Is fun to overhype normal events. Is somewhat like April 1st, but can be practiced all the year.
