As long as the requirement is only to have the App Store as a payment option, that will be fine. It will only damage Apple to have App Store prices 43% higher than that offered elsewhere.

You can hope. In reality, consumer ISPs will probably start using NAT since they gain little from customers doing anything that requires a public IP.
The majority of customers won't notice and the rest will suffer crippled services or be asked to pay a surcharge for a non NAT IP address. That has the potential to raise revenue for ISPs rather than implementing IPv6 which would incur expenditure.
You miss my point. If you make it socially unacceptable, you can cut the number of people doing it. Unfortunately I think some groups such as MADD can put off as many as they convince.
Frankly I'd rather no-one loses their license for DUI because I'd prefer no one was doing it in the first place.
Florida has implied consent laws. By choosing to drive on the roads, you agree to perform a breath test when requested by a police officer. If you don't want to, simply don't drive. Anyone refuse a test is already braking the law and will be facing a court appearance, a fine and a suspended license,
Doesn't it seem reasonable for a judge to determine that an individual refusing a non-invasive test, where the refusal has such significant repercussions, may indeed be over the limit and determine there is probable cause to test this rather than letting them off with a lighter penalty?
At least in some states they need to consider the penalties for DUI. In many, drivers will be fined as little as $250 and be allowed to continue driving on a restricted license. DUI should result in a minimum one year total ban and a requirement to resit your test. There is no excuse for such behaviour.
Many other countries have made drink driving socially unacceotable. That status is long overdue in the US.
20 miles up? You're not in space until you reach an altitude of 62 miles (the Kármán line).
Is there any chance that would be the reason they never claimed to have gone into space? The article war pretty clear about the altitude and used the term "near space'.
Yes, others have done it before. I'm sure each and every one of them will also be delighted to see some big vendor support for their exploration.
You suggest Apple are jsut trying to get their house in order, finalizing tools and specs. If that were the case, once Apple were confident in their tech specs, surely they'd allow users of other operating systems to create apps for iOS?
Or perhaps they're going to roll that out in a "slow and steady" manner? I for one won't be holding my breath.
The article seems to assume that lots of folk attending elite schools are paying sticker for their education. From my understanding that's not the case.
With the move to substantially increase tuition at all universities in England, there will be growing comparison against the sticker price at the top US schools. That, of course, is an unfair comparison as top US schools while undoubtedly expensive also have exceptional financial aid packages.
While an in-state public university tuition will almost always be the most affordable, many will be able to attend top private schools for a similar amount. Very few will be paying the $45-50k talked about in the article.
Anyone building software in 1999, who assumed that there was no patent on this particular piece of 'Intellectual Property' was acting in good faith, now the State says that they are liable to pay, or be put out of business, fined or put into gaol. Give me a break.
Much as I dislike the patent, they did apply for the patent in Dec 1999, and it would have been available on the patent office database since then. I don't think you can claim good faith by ignoring an existing, published, patent claim.
An engine is to a car what a CPU is to an iPhone. No one is seriously looking to swap out their CPU.
Apps are more like petrol/gasoline. They're what make your phone do all those things you see on the adverts. We're promised that for all our needs, 'there's an app for that'. So long as your need doesn't include learning about Android.
Ford don't try to mandate what brand of gas you put in your car. Nor do they do anything to stop you installing aftermarket parts - including engines - from third parties.
A MySQL crash can certainly corrupt INNODB files, leaving you needing to restore from backup.
I've seen a power failure corrupt a ReiserFS partition leaving it unrecoverable. I'd imagine a hardware fault, or driver problem could cause such a crash.
Plenty of us have seen hard drives fail, and most would describe that as a crash.
So, there are plenty of crashes that can result in data loss. It's for that reason that they need to explain why there's no backup.
Several 911 dispatchers that I've talked to have said that they usually hang up if they hear nobody because it usually is a prank call.
I'll hope either you're making that up, or the person who told you was making it up.
From your own language, 'usually' probably isn't the best criteria for an operator to use when judging if a call is an emergency or not. Furthermore, if they just hang up, they're breaking the law, since they should be checking any silent call in case it is a TTY call.
A quick google let me find call handling procedures for a few 911 centers. From what I could see, standard operating procedure is to dispatch an officer to the location of a silent call where the location can be determined. With E-911, this information will be available for a large number of wireless calls too.
That said, I'm in favor of this plan. While I wouldn't encourage texting 911, silently dropping data isn't a good idea. In the UK, you can text landline phones, so I can easily imagine cell phone users imagining they should be able to text anyone, even the emergency services.
Cydia has implemented it better - their backgrounding lets you hold down the home button to background and tap to quit. Not to mention proper app running in the background rather than just state saving.

Sending mail should be possible - use your ISPs smart host. I don't see any advantage for you in being able to directly connect to other mail servers from a residential IP, and can see lots of disadvantages where ISPs permit it en masse.
Have you ever run a mailserver for a business? It's not lazy to have tight spam controls - it's business sense. Spam costs money. For a couple of hundred accounts I see days with over 150,000 spam messages coming in. Users couldn't do their job if that were to be landing in their inbox. Filtering residential IPs will knock off 90% of that spam.
There's nothing random about blocking port 25, and no one is doing it for shits and giggles. I'm all for ISPs allowing the port to be opened for a customer where they request it, but seriously, as long as they provide a reliable SMTP server that you can use as a relay, the cost to the end user is almost nil.
Why would you want to send mail from a residential IP? The vast majority of big mail servers will simply block your messages. What's the point of email if you don't have reliable delivery?
If you want to access your own mail server running elsewhere, it should be trivial for it to allow inbound connections requiring smtp auth on a port other than 25.

Okay, admit it. You're just making this stuff up now, aren't you?
It seems hard to believe that every third car in 1985 had voided their warranty when they installed a CB radio.

I agree. It's obvious they were simply copying all the paper books that have a 'highlight all' function.
No, you miss the point. Let's compare population density.
Tokyo: 5,937 /km^2
New York: 10,194 /km^2
So, obviously New York residents will have 1GB fiber to the door?
KDDI offer the 1GB connection and telephone service for jsut under 6000 Yen, or about $70US per month.
That the analogy is flawed.

We know why Apple implemented it the way they did, but it has significant disadvantages too.
Try running a softphone. An incoming UDP packet can't wake the app, whereas on Cydia it will work just fine.
They've used a solutions for phones which have a tiny battery on tablets that have a much larger one.
Cydia has implemented it better - their backgrounding lets you hold down the home button to background and tap to quit. Not to mention proper app running in the background rather than just state saving.

If that's the case, she should be dialing 911.
As has already been discussed, it's unlikely any such technical intervention would be approved that didn't facilitate dialing 911.
You're married yet you haven't matured beyond the playground? Grow up.
Because your wife couldn't drive two blocks then pull over to make the call safely?
Does it occur to your that perhaps the technology could allow calls if the user dials 911?
It's trivial to allow authenticated smtp connections on a port other than 25.
Newsguy allows you to connect to them on 110, 8100, 995 (SSL) / 25, 8025, 465(SSL)
I fail to see why your ISP blocking 25 should impact you.
$ vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
