To add to the confusion, 5G also include lower (below 6 GHz) provisions however in that frequency range the speed will be only slightly faster than LTE. This is what most people will experience.
The US constitution was one of the first, so of course it had a big influence on the world.
However, if we did the same exercise again, to take the "best educated and intelligent men of the day who had an incredible understanding in political science, sociology, and economics" we would end up taking (mostly liberal) university professors and end up with a constitution very different from the US one. Especially the 2nd amendment wouldn't exist, that's why other countries do not have such a stupid clause. Politicians such as Trump wouldn't have any chance on having any word to say on it, obviously.
You can be for allowing guns so openly. But it has nothing to do in the constitution. A regular law should be able to forbid it. Just like the sale of alcool can be allowed or not, but is never a guaranteed "right" by constitutions.
The US constitution was pretty good for the time when it was first written, but didn't age very well.
The US could cut its defense budget in half and nothing would change. The Russians would still have invaded and kept Crimea. The Chinese would still not have invaded Taiwan. Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq would be pretty much in the same state.
But how good is the sandbox if the application can access all your files? It can still mine bitcoins and waste your CPU/GPU. It can still send all your files to some scamers and then encrypt your local copy. The only thing is that it won't have admin rights so it won't be able to delete the OS or mess with other users' files. Just like any non-sandboxed application, isn't it?
but in practice, let say you need to open a file, how does it work? And then save it? Will they allow SMB file transfers between the host and the sandbox? Couldn't viruses spread this way?
Not sure if France has a better taxation system, but in Canada, corporations such as Netflix and Google are well known to avoid the VAT (GST/PST) because of loopholes. What they do is that they create a corporation called Netflix Canada, which is based in Canada and receive subsidies for TV/film production. But the main service (the video streaming monthly subscription) is sold by Netflix USA/Luxembourgh/Whatever which claims has no physical presence in Canada and therefore doesn't have to charge/collect GST. You can't do that for physical goods since GST would be collected at the border (unless sent as a gift like many chinese ebay sellers do) so it's a loophole in the tax code made before the Internet.
The price of flash memory would have reduced with or without Apple and this is what allowed USB thumb drives to exist. Apple strongly pushed for external ZIP disk drives and it failed. Just because Apple pushes something doesn't make it a success. Removing the floppy from the first iMac was still a mistake, like it or not.
Do not confuse your fanboyism for any hate on my side.
my point was that I am not convinced they will indeed turn off UMTS voice by the end of the year. That article from January says the opposite. It looks like they might be turning off HSPA data however, and force people to use LTE for data.
They are not taxing the US at all. These corporation make money in France and pay very little tax there. It's not fair, and this new tax is a good starting point. These corporations will be free to avoid France if they don't like the tax.
It was a bad purchase decision to buy iMacs without floppy drives when they first came out. Floppy drives would have disappeared with or without Apple, mostly because of USB thumb drives. We don't need new tech to be pushed down our throat. We need it to be good enough so that we choose to use it instead of the old one.
Apple was the one who kept the obsolete Firewire the longest. It had no peripherals, except a few overpriced Lacie drives with no benefit over USB2. Floppies were abandoned by Apple when they were still being used, so it was a bad move. They should have waited a few more years.
ADB wasn't used by anyone but Apple, so it was obselete from day 1. SCSI was too expensive and had no benefit over IDE/SATA for the average desktop computer. Like Firewire, Apple was late on this switch by picking the wrong horse.
I can't remember when Apple abandoned PCMCIA/cardbus/expresscard thought so I won't comment this one. The only thing is that I remember it was useful when WiFi was not built-in to laptops.
In the end, Apple has definitely NOT been a leader in ports/connectivity. On the contrary, they still push obsolete technologies such as Lightning. It's a good thing we have choice other than Apple to drive innovation, and standards.

but will they even notice 40 000 additional workers in such a big city?

For that marketing non-sense. All those who speak of 3G, 4G and/or 5G instead of using the actual technology name, or network speed are to blame.
As if 4G meant something. What's so hard on calling the technology or the speed in Mbps?
you forgot all the master/slaves uses which must be changed to equal/equal
without that goal, the US military expenditure could be reduced even a lot more
Yes, that's what the US and Trump are claiming. That's the whole point of whining at NATO that the other allies do not spend enough in their military.

you attacked Iraq as a revenge for 9/11? I thought that was Afghanistan

the amount the French authorities want to tax is an amount disproportionate to the amount of money Google makes in France
I disagree, given the so low tax rate to begin with.
not only their web site is accessed from France, but they sell advertisements to corporations and individuals based in France
Strawman argument.
Why? Because there NEVER would have BEEN USB Thumb Drives in the first place, if not for Apple and the iMac.
HAHA good one.
Proof? USB Ports had been on EVERY Wintel motherboard for YEARS with virtually NOTHING to plug into them... UNTIL THE IMAC CAME ALONG.
That's hardly a proof. http://tylervigen.com/spurious...
So they are not turning off 3G, TFS is wrong. Might have been clearer if they just said they shut off HSPA data.
my point was that I am not convinced they will indeed turn off UMTS voice by the end of the year. That article from January says the opposite.
It looks like they might be turning off HSPA data however, and force people to use LTE for data.
that's a bit old, but that's not what they say in this article:
http://www.telecomreviewasia.c...
so they are going to use VoLTE for voice calls?
Are they shutting down an EVDO network? Or are they turning off HSPA?
The implications are not the same.
They are not taxing the US at all. These corporation make money in France and pay very little tax there. It's not fair, and this new tax is a good starting point. These corporations will be free to avoid France if they don't like the tax.
