Yes, but now when I *GIVE* the file (which is to say I hand them the physical medium on which it is stored, not make a copy) to a friend, and that person distributes copies illegally, my name is on those copies.
The typical bank statement is what, two kilobytes of data, even if you include redundant things like headers? Are you telling me it is too expensive for my bank to store less than one megabyte per customer in order to offer 40 years of statements online?
A couple with no children both work, and make a combined total household income of $100k. Do you understand that this means they both make $50k (or, at least, that is the average of their two incomes), and that is less than $80k per person?
If you add two children then you have a household income of $100k/yr supporting four Americans, but since I know you object to including children we don't need to consider that. The previous example shows that even if you only include income-earning adults, they still make less than $80k each.
This makes me the 17th person in this thread to point out that households and people are two different things. Even if you ignore the money required to support children, the mean number of earners in the 97.5-100k bracket is 2.12, which is 46.6k per person. Thanks for linking to statistics that prove that you are wrong.
Is this the end of people logging into random web pages that are not the page they asked to visit? Or the end of people using web browsers that will install malware without your authorization just by visiting a web page?
Unfortunately most Computer Science degrees these days are at least half IT. If you do not understand the following sentence then you probably did not really get an education in Computer Science:
Considering Opera's install base on mobile devices I would expect that number to be much higher. Considering its common configuration to mis-identify as IE to avoid website misbehavior, I predict that that number is seriously under-representative of the true marketshare. Also, never use statistics that are not explained. What does "70%" mean on this chart? 70% of visits (define visits?)? 70% of hits? 70% of unique IP addresses? 70% of traffic?
I browse at +3, with Funny weighted -3. I would love to know what moderations are being applied to this guy's posts that keep him above my threshold in every thread.
I would rip it open and use the LED matrices directly with a microcontroller. Vertical scrolling 5x7 text would look so much better, and non-text graphics would be cool too.
I see so much praise for Steam these days. Has it improved significantly over the monstrosity I swore off ~four years ago? I am talking about the years when you could not play a Steam game offline if you did not put yourself into offline mode while still online. Steam trying to authenticate itself killed the network at dozens of LAN parties, and that behavior could not be stopped without closing Steam.
All this font accomplishes at smaller sizes (at which the holes are less than 2 pixels wide) is to cause the printed document to come out in grey instead of black. You could save more ink, and get more consistent results, by just changing all of your black text to 75% grey.
I take issue with your taxi example. Even when "in use", a taxi spends a lot of time parked. I see rows of taxis waiting at hotels, bars, etc. Once there is sufficient electrical grid, it would be trivial for the taxis to buy power from wherever they are parked at the time.
The smells and sounds of a well tuned engine and exhaust are "none" and "none". The only "good" smells people describe from an engine are caused by leaks, and all noise is wasted power.
Prioritize by network topology is a better way to put it, that just happens to coincide with physical AND political geography in many cases. In the case where you can get 10Mb over a 10-hop connection, or 8Mb over a 3-hop connection, which do you pick? If you pick the latter, there is a good chance that two other users can utilize the other 70% of that 10-hop connection, making total throughput (theoretically) 24Mb.
Notice the other clause? This class also includes anyone whose computer was accessed without permission. I can demonstrate with a level of certainty approaching unity that MediaSentry's illicit activities resulted in access to my computer for unauthorized purposes at least once.

Amazed no one caught this before you did.

Says the 90%+ of Americans (or 99% of everyone else) living on less.
Yeah, but no one has to spend that much. You spend it because you want to. No one needs to live in Manhattan, or downtown LA.

Clicking a link should never be dangerous.
Am I the only one who thinks it humorous that the "magic IE/Windows keywords" start with "Mozilla/4.0"?

Computer science does not require a computer.

Why do you make the incorrect assumption that computer science involves computer programming, or even computers at all for that matter?

Did he post as AC, or did he post without logging in? We don't know, I just took a shot in the dark at the former.
I second that. Mod parent up.
I don't want to!
And now you can't.
without new computers we can't even sustain the infrastructure we have

And of course the conversion of rotational energy in the engine to sound energy is 100% efficient.

Bullshit. I am still not tipping for horrible service. If they don't like it, they can get a better paying job.
