I am an Android user, but I will say the iPhone isn't beats. It's actually a decent piece of hardware and software. I don't particularaly like iOS and will stick to my Android, but it's also not horrible and a lot of people develop for it. I'm also glad we have both options, plus Windows Mobile too. More options are better for the market and people who write apps for only one OS are idiots.
It's still half of beats though. There are a lot of people who buy eyeProducts because of the marketing. I liked OSX 10.6, but everything since than has been shit. Final Cut X is god awful. There are pros and cons to everything.
No. That's totally different. Network Neutrality means that when you pay for a given quality of service, you get that same quality of service to any destination on the Internet.
When you pay for 30Mbps, you expect that maximum of that to any Internet destination (of course within reason of normal traffic congestion and delays on that path). But what if an ISP says, "Well for YouTube, Google is forking over $1m for this dedicated fiber lane to their data centre." So now they charge you a little extra, maybe $5 a month, for faster YouToob. Now you have two Internets.
I'm a little more concerned that the fact that Janet Jackson's led to over a million complains. Why are American's afraid of tits?! There wasn't even a nipple. I don't get it!
So here's some trivia. How many aircraft carries to most countries have (those who have them)? Take a guess. Another guess. The answer is 1. Only two nations have more than 1 and that's India and Italy.
The United States is one of the most dangerous military states in the world and the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world. An 11 carrier Navy fleet is not sustainable. It will require more war and wars that do not end.
They started their service before Twitter had photo hosting. You had to use an external provider.
As Twitter tried to monotize, a critical part of that was getting rid of all this 3rd party stuff. They incorporated a lot of it directly into Twitter, put in API limits that killed apps like FalconPro, disabled their 1.0 API so people had to use the user-limited API... They're trying to kill off every 3rd party thing that originally helped them to get to where they are.
Twitter could chose to do something amazing instead. They could federate. Create open-source mini-servers that could communicate to each other and allow people to do twitter stuff from their own networks. They could shead their users, slim down, pay back steakholders and move onto different projects.
You cannot sustain infinite growth. Facebook and Twitter haven't learned this yet.
My buddy in high school had a police scanner and as we were driving around we could ocasionally pick up cellphone calls, but only one half of them. It really sucked when we got the boring half.
But OpenRC (Gentoo) does dependency management without having to replace init.
Now systemd does give you a lot of advantages when it comes to fully managing processes, respawing and dbus/alerting. But that's also part of the problem. It connects to EVERYTHING. And if one of those things breaks or has a security flaw, you could pass messages around and compromise systems.
Not to mention the command line tools SUCK.
Sys V:/etc/init.d/ (stat|stop|restart)
Upstart: (start|stop|restart)
Systemd: systemctl restart.service
And you get ZERO output. You have to run journalctl -n or systemctl status right after it. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?! A widows developer?
It's a lot more expensive that you think. The development networks for drug research reach into the billions. Keep in mind that when you find a compound, it has a lot of basic tests before you get to single cells, complex organism, invertebrates, vertebrates... by the time you reach mice, you're already talking about $10million+... researchers, grants, equipment, poorly paid graduate students. And when you get to monkeys...each monkey is $15k a pop and if any of them die, the compound almost always gets tossed, or at the least, get set back 4 years.
And when a decent drug does come out, the entire management and executive engine of big pharma absorbs all of that. CEOs make billions while grad students still barely make $35k a year. It's a sick cluster-fuck.
But those procedures and equipment needed for a high level of accurate scientific research is still expensive and it's the difference between real replicable research and snake oil
I had an old Handspring Visor, Palm Treo and Centro. I came here to say this.
I had the IDE for a while. No multitasking (you could have timers that ran background tasks) and you could read/write directly into other programs' memory spaces. It was so easy to crash that OS. It's seriously only a few levels above MS/PC DOS with a really crappy C API. I'm really glad we're so far past those devices.
This just makes me think of the Alien's movie, where The Company(tm) wants to harvest, study and learn from the Xenomorphs, even after being fully aware at how horribly dangerous they were.
I stopped using iPhone years ago because of it's horrible UI and way of pulling everything into its ecosystem. I hated the fact that Lion removed both spaces and expose and replaces them with the mission control rubbish. And I really hated how Apple destroied their Final Cut product and told professional video editors to basically use their new iMovie pro.
And yet people will tell you all the above is better, because they love Apple and can't see past that. It's like being with a women who started smoking cigarettes and puts on an extra 20kg. You still love her for some arbritrary reason of a memory of what she once was.
Contempt of Court is a lot less time than the possible crime you could be implicated by decrypting that disk. What's the most you'll get for contempt? A year tops?
Yep. They band AirBnB (using your home has a bed and breakfast) if you don't have a permit. The hotels lobby for that shit. You're not free to rent out a room, in your own home, which you own, for short term (must be longer than a month).
The really early Hybrid Civics had manual options. But they were primitavie "let's just slap an electric motor between the transmission and engine" designs. I'm with you though. I don't even like the paddle shifters on the new GTRs (even though I realize it still has a clutch and it's a lot faster...just give me a pedal to launch with. If you spend $80k on a car, you should at least get that).
The Tesla high end roaders are 3-speeds I believe. Not sure if they have a clutch though, but there is a shifter lever.
And the company that made it still got it's $300k. Even if the municipality didn't pay for it, someone did. Most likely the federal government and therefore, the taxpayer.
I use to be pro-gun, even though I'd never personally own one. Then I moved to Australia and later New Zealand. America's gun laws are absolutely fucking insane.
I think it's okay to own one, but everyone should have a license. None of this cash and carry bullshit. You have to register your car. You need a license for a car. If it wasn't for the 2nd amendment, no one would question license and registration for guns. Cops should have to register their guns too and should never be allowed to take service weapons home with them or use them off duty. They should need civilian licenses just like everyone else.
You know what goes down with sane gun laws? Suicides. Australia's suicide rate plummeted. Sure people who are going to kill themselves will usually do so no matter what. That's what you lean in psychology class. But they also don't want to fuck up. The only thing worse that surviving for someone that depressed, is surviving with permanent brain or physical injury. Guns provide that push over that edge; to assure you there is no recovery.
America's gun laws are insane compared to every other high income country. And Americans are oblivious to the fact it makes us the laughing stock of the entire world.

But you have an income tax right? Tennessee had no income tax but like an 8% ~ 9% sales tax

Why even bother getting an extention? We all know the program will continue anyway.
Same here. WTF? How the fuck does someone like Amazon fail at a PayPal competitor?

The United States has 11:

There was a lot of stuff on the TOR mailing listing about how there were two Washington, DC nodes that couldn't be removed from your list of peers.
Even if it's still somewhat anonymous, I wouldn't doubt the NSA has its hands in several of those exist nodes.
Freenet serves a different purpose entirely, but it's also pretty good at what it does.

Conventional weapons also don't know when treaties have been signed: land mines, cluster bombs...

umm...extreme much? The EPA has been striped of most useful powers and allows industry to pollute uncontrollably. Just look at Fraking.

1984 and Brave New World were never intended to be user manuals
