don't subscribe to videotron, because they give a crappy service to start with, and are overpriced compared to the competition (where there is any). the fact that they also don't give a shit about rights is just another nail in the coffin
50 cents coin in canada do exist. but as far as i know they're not made anymore, and haven't been in a few years (decades?). i used to have a few, but they got stolen somehow
the way i understand it, the chip will have physics as real as possible, and since it's in hardware it's (hopefully) blazingly fast.
the reason engines deal differently with physics right now is a matter of optimisation. different developpers have different ideas on how to optimize (or sometimes they don't...) with different resulting speeds.
the problem is that firefox DOES NOT let other applications that needs it get it back. it routinely crawls the machine to a halt until it's killed and restarted. get off your high horse, firefox isn't perfect, never will be, and sure isn't likely to be anytime soon with people like you
hm i'm pretty sure i've seen ATMs with ads for other companies on them (on the screen, before you insert your card). that would have been in quebec though (desjardins ATMs)
they do that in recent guns already... except they imprint a serial number instead of using a RFID. much more efficient, less likely to be damaged (or some part of it can still be read) and doesn't cost anything beside the imprinting mechanism in the gun.
single sign on is a damn useful thing for an enterprise network. where you have direct control (as the administrator at least i do) over all the places your employees might ever log on. and where they should only log on for company-related stuff. privacy never enters the equation in those cases
out of the enterprise, it's a whole different game
that's a nice position to be in, but you can't really apply that logic to remote servers where there is no one on-site to fix it if it breaks. some servers also serve customers in different timezones so you can't schedule them with the rest.
apples and oranges really. the 15 vulnerabilities for windows are to the core and system services. the 78 vulerabilities of suse include packages that aren't critical to system operation
a fair comparison would be only counting the patches to the kernel (~5 ?), critical software you can't remove (not sure), and i'd say apache (~ 2-3 ?), and then only the really critical ones (not in useless features that no one use and are disabled by default) (0)
don't get me wrong, i cringe every time there's a security bulletin for the linux kernel, it's a PAIN to fix. even worse than windows in my opinion (since linux servers aren't rebooted as often, you're never sure if the system will come back up properly due to changed lilo/kernel build options/little evil fairie)
20-30gbit/s doesn't seem low to me. as seen from the providers that is. the raw throughput directly between their servers (counting the traffic that is inside each datacenter and never goes out) is likely to me MUCH higher than that
this is just my guess of course, i don't have any data to back that up:)
let me assure you that bandwidth is all but expensive for google. they aren't your local ISP that commits to 10mbps a month (at a price of 150$/mbits). google buys bandwidth by the GigE load, they pay a few dollars per mbps
to give you an idea, if you commit to 1gbps, you can usually get prices around 20$/mbits (of course, you'll also see it offered at 80$/mbits but that's another matter), now i imagine google commits to tens of gigabits/s so it's likely to be even lower. (as i said, i've heard a few $ per mbits for google). likely also is that with their recent buying of dark fiber, it'll be even cheaper for them to do it, they might even get to peer directly with the biggest isp and get their bandwidth practically free (save for the actual fiber and equipment used to connect to them)

Doh!
no, if they did they'd be drooling idiots and wouldn't be posting here. obviously

you mean, like me? don't have one, don't want one. keep your invites in your google page
they pay in life

im sure you meant -240C and -270C there. we don't want those telescopes boilings :)

i think the parent meant "light" as in "not heavy"
a failed joke, don't ask for too much out of it
sounds like me, except i simply didn't bother with pressing snooze. i just fell right back asleep without even shutting the buzzer off...

pretty much the same thing, we'd have another company as the fanboy's favorite and that would be it (remember when altavista was the favorite?)
maybe we'd have better search results too, and not just a bunch of links to SEO and spyware sites (but then again, maybe it would be worse, who knows)

all versions of firefox also consume 150+ megs of resident memory

why use rfid? so it's cooler?
and the jews! won't someone care for the jews!
that's unfair to the psycho girlfriends of the world!
actually in the case of physical harm to a person you are legally required to help in most countries. it's called the "good samaritan" law.
but of course, that only apply to physical harm, not software

while it's probably possible to see who has the most chip. i seriously doubt you can see who has the high-value chips.
most likely the chips themselves just broadcast a serial number, that are matched in a central database.
just clearing that up, as lots of people seem to be misunderstanding that part
yep my bad, honestly i never looked up what the C at the end was for :)
