The fact that this was even asked shows how sad Slashdot is. We can render 3D games at 100fps but think its the graphics slowing down the web browser. The long pole is network access and the plethora of things that need to all be fetched prior to rendering.
What it does is makes it tax neutral. You neither gain nor suffer the tax liability incurred as the money they put into the account is considered earnings.
So don't consume it. Price them out and let them go out of business. You don't own the rights, its not your decision. It's there. If that means they go out of business, then that's how it works. You don't have some right to consume it just because you want to.
You can say greed, or whatever all you want. But the fact is it's their content and they should be able to dictate the terms that it is consumed. While you can argue that its all about money, it's really not. It's about control of what they produce. Now that control will translate into money at some point, but the content owners should be the ones setting the terms how that is done.
You only need to prove through forensics that something may have happened to call the election into question. I personally think it should be SOP that the machines be examined after the fact to make sure everything is as expected.
No, its not a valid point. You assume the energy comes from having to work harder. If it were to require more energy going in then that would be a characteristic of the material used and has nothing to do with conservation of energy. The Earth in the end is the energy 'ground'. This simply takes some of that energy and directs it into a device that converts it to electricity before it eventually makes it way to ground. That's called....Conservation of Energy....
That actually isn't all that impressive as they are comparing it to the average. Lets do a comparison of cars in the same price range. And by price range I mean pre subsidy.
If I'm elected I'll give a snickers bar to everyone who can show they voted for me.
Look, me and all my employees voted for you, can I have that trash collection contract?
Because then you'd have to rip apart and rebuild the engines to get all the sand/gravel out that's been sucked through them.
When I first saw it the first thing to come to my mind was, wow, they're using paper mache. Then reading further they talk about 'cellulose cement' or something like that. Which again, sounds like paper mache. I don't think its super expensive compared to an engine overhaul.
I still like to channel surf. The problem is everything has its own guide and they need to be integrated into one. He's right about not caring about channels, although the channels themselves do care because they want you to be aware of what channel is providing some content you are watching.
I'd like my basic cable from cable and sling tv channels and hulu and whatever else all in a single guide that just knows how to get what i click on.
The power outage for phone argument is over used. Yes it happens, and you can easily argue that a single more robust wireless solution in some cases would be better as the electrical and phone are going over the same poles.
The reality is in most cases copper costs more and takes longer to upgrade services. Yes they get money to maintain, both from customers and the government. But I could really care less if they can offer something better with the money I'm spending today and in the future. For most people, most of the time, wireless can offer a better service. Most people don't consider their phone service married to copper, its just what it happens to use at the moment. Offer them better service on a different medium and they'll jump at it.
The point being this isn't necessarily some nefarious plot. The union doesn't like it because fixing wires keeps people in a job. But the end customer for the most part could care less and is currently being held back by copper.
We must all freak out even though the article itself says there is an exception form to fill out if the copper line is required. For 99% of people who are out of a FIOS area this is a good thing as it gets their foot in the door for providing some form of wireless internet that will far exceed what they can offer via DSL. The
The vast majority of customers could care less about copper or wireless or whether they are getting money to maintain copper. Presumably the wireless system has a battery ups like cable to maintain service during short outages. Does everyone here have parents that work in a copper mine or something?
It's instagram. The idea is for 99% of people to post garbage pictures of themselves for fun. It's not about learning some life lesson about dealing with a world full of anonymous assholes who now can say what they want without looking someone in the face to do so.
Slashdot Mirror
And yet they didn't post the story about how he admitted that being an Atheist was just a phase. That would have made peoples heads explode.
I take it you've never asked for a raise because the money you are earning today all you want.
The government owns the roads already and can do whatever they want without the need for environmental impact studies.

Clearing these grad students are spoiled and have too much extra cash laying around if they are spending money on such things.
How does $150B cleanup make the energy from Fukushima cheap?

Farting under the covers is rude,

Not relevant. They own it, they should be able to control it any way they want. Don't like the system, don't consume from it.

What ever did they do before there were phones....

I had to load the webpage on CNN or here to be told I was supposed to be having a problem...

Any civilization capable reaching such a feat would surely have destroyed itself long before they were able to get there.

Further proof of the incompetence of most IT organizations.
