Well, i will leave my inteligence alone to myself.
I was refering to the "10Mbps" that the article refered.
In case you don't know, I can inform you that there are plenty of people that would be happy to have 5Mbps in UK.
Actually there are areas, like Island of Dogs in London, where you are lucky if you get any connection at all, just because the phone exchange is overloaded and there is no more capacity on it for years.
So yes, there are issues, and yes, internet in UK is crap comparing with other civilized countries.
Now regarding the cables not supporting, depends on the cables.
In case you didn't know either, some areas have cables not of copper, but of aluminium (which was way cheaper at the time, and worked for normal voice, but it's %£%£$% for internet).
There is no way to fix H1B because on the day it is open, you have off-shore companies from a certain country applying in bulk for a visa for ALL of their employees.
Even if they only get 5% of the spots applied, it's a win-win for them.
Of course, if you aren't from that country or from a company like that, good luck on the "lottery".
Someone that posts a link to a torrent site can become co-responsable for the copyright infrigements downstream.
By the same logic, if a mobile phone is hacked and money disapears from the bank account due to that, then the phone manufacturer and operator are co-responsables for that hacking due to leaving the phone open to known vulnerabilities?
Also, the EU regulations state that the data should be handled just to fulfull the requirements of the service rendered.
Additionally, if the data is exported to the US it still needs to comply with all EU regulations. The fact that the data moved to a different country has no bearings on what the companies can do with it (they still need to apply the EU regulations).
And if they use 3rd party services for some internal processes that have access to the data, those 3rd party also need to comply.
You are confusing author rights with copy right...
Author right means that the photographer has the right to be recognized as the author of the work.
In most countries, this is transferable (for instance, in Germany it isn't).
Copy rights on the other hand cover the "right to make copies and distribute them".
[be it direct rights or derivative rights, laws are way different from country to country, even if most have signed international conventions, like the Bern]
Copy has no relation whatsoever with commercial or sales... which is another contention point.
For a copyright to be ascertain over a work, there are thresholds to be met... they are fairly low.
BUT a "scan" with a photographic apparatus and with a diffused light does normally fail those thresholds!
The same happens with other kinds of photos...
But the "correct" law related to that, depends again of the country.
The issue is that the "offender" has servers in the us and resides in the us. This means that the law that applies to him is the US law.
As standard practice, it is recommended that you host your stuff in your own countrie to avoid international legal problems...
Tons of examples exist all over the world that state that you need to have "artistic" input for creating a new copyright.
The same happens with videos/cinema... that is why you get the "release film", the "directors cut", the "producers cut"... the "cat's cut"... and so on...
Each of them... refreshing that specific copyright... (note... the "specific"... as the original one isn't refreshed by just such "schemas").;)
If i was a ISP i would be buying an old IBM S40 printer... and contract the production of tons of paper... and all the logs would be directed to the paper...
NO DIGITAL LOGS...
Want the logs... sure... They are in storehouse n34... somewhere...;)
When money is short in far more important areas... like food and education!
I often wonder why we should worry about some kids looking at smut on the net, when everyday they see war and death and violence (and bloody victims) all over in the news AT PRIME TIME!!!
It just makes my mind boggle...
I do think that like terrorism, the "protect the kids" is being used just as an excuse for harder and more restrictive laws all over the world.
Slashdot Mirror
The TDP limitations is not only due to heat issues, but also to maintain the battery levels.
Sure you can ran the hardware at a higher speed with more TDP / wats, but you will also drain the batteries way faster.
That is why you will never see one of the "gamer" laptops with better battery then 2 hours (which is nothing as those numbers are of average use).
Not defending the "technical" solutions of Apple, because i think they missed the mark with MBP this time.
The touch bar is a gymnick, and the hardware a bit sub-scale.
I will wait for better CPUs and faster memory / SSD combos... maybe next year?

So your milleage does vary a lot.
But how about making sure everyone has that at least?
With no contention?
In the first place...
English has way worse problems, like not be phonetical.
Leicester (spelling) = lester (phonetic)
Where did the "ice" gone?
Probably one of the worse cases, but there are plenty!
will be jumping of joy with this.
Lets break all our business applications due to an update that can't be tested before hand and that is mandatory.
Just great.

Only, he would lose on the first round because his assets would all be impounded, and he couldn't afford to hire a lawyer in the first place.
I'm sure that is called by another name, yes, blackmail.
Read the title...
Meaning they may have a trademark in the USA, but for it to be valid outside of it, it's another question altogether.
Good luck...
For netflix you need a proper internet connection.
For cable, you don't (technically).

Bacause you know, humans?
Humans just don't like anything.
Why not for the pleasure of coding against the processor directly?

It is not a "out-of-eu regulation" free card.
Not a game changer.
Helium like any other rarer materials should be handled more careful.
By changing the work, as it's in an intended form (as they make sure the change happens on purpose), so they are really creating a derivative work.
That is not a typo... it's a intended change on purpose.
Did they have the author authorization for doing such and at the same time imply that the author doesn't know how to write???
I hardly believe that...

Photos are not always copyrighted.

The anti-rfid wallet... ;)
They don't have the right to collect fees from free/public domain music!
The major problem with patents is that they raise the bar for everyone to make a nail...
In the old-times, you only need a anvil, an hammer, and a forge... (and some other tools naturally)...
Now? You need a lawyer... then you can start to think of anything else.
Crazy world...
Old phones are good...
Good for your pocket and the environment.
Remember... that before the 3 R... there are 3 more R... that people [r]arelly use:
[R]efurbish, [R]epair and [R]euse... ;)

O.o
Convenience...
Just make available in a legal and affordable way the books... in digital form... and those that want... will buy them.
Those that don't want to buy them... will not buy them whatever the cost anyway.
Implying that all copies made are lost sales is the biggest lie around... ;)
