No question. The issue is that - under the current Verizon scheme at issue - only Verizon can pursue this business model. Anti-net-neutrality proponents would argue that Netflix should be able to pay Verizon more money for access, and Verizon could then use that money to upgrade. Net neutrality proponents would argue that Verizon should just directly charge their customers to use more bandwidth, and then use that money to upgrade.
Verizon wants a little of both to give themselves something of a monopoly (1). That doesn't benefit anyone except Verizon.
(1) Not really a monopoly, as cell phone service is fairly competitive. Verizon does have the best rural network, though, and they have something of a monopoly outside of metro areas.
Are you sure it's not lead sheathing around copper conductors? This was common for noise insulation and waterproofing - but I'm surprised that they would use lead conductors.
I guess it's a money vs. time tradeoff. I find the online services far "easier" than physically swapping media to an offsite location. It's also more frequent.
This works well for some people (hell, I have a basement server). But I want off-premises backup. Services like Crashplan, Dropbox, etc. are perfect for this. Sure, you could find a technically-inclined friend - but sometimes things aren't worth the hassle and unpredictable bandwidth usage.
He seemed to be worried about the plane's plumbing, so I gave him a solution. The whole post is ridiculous and I'm not sure why I posted a reply. As if containing distilled water were not a solved engineering problem.
No, I'm still using a tank of brine solution - but it only needs to contain a kilogram of actual solids. That's a small tank compared to the 1700kg worth of water that you would otherwise be carrying.
But I'm happy to concede that you could solve this with other means besides a brine tank. Either way, it's a very solvable problem and would not hold up such a project.
And just to give you some numbers to play with... MAXIMUM recommended dissolved solids in drinking water is 500mg/L. An Airbus A380 carries 1700 L onboard. Thus the weight of the water is 1700kg and if all of that water was grossly overtreated to the maximum limit, you would need to carry 0.85kg in solids with you.
You would need so little salt to treat the water that the tank would be insignificant in mass compared to the fuel cell equipment, or even the other food service equipment on board.
This idea has many, many problems with it - but "pure H2O" is not one of them.
Android does such a poor job of managing SD vs internal card space that I am actually happier without.
And then to compound things, my old Samsung would let the SD card slide out every once in a while - and the phone REALLY hated that, losing settings for things that were stored on the card.
The wake up call for me was when I realized that I never took the SD card out of the phone. Not even for transfer to the computer - I'd just plug in a USB cable. What the heck was I putting up with the hassle of managing the SD card for, then? Now I just buy as much internal storage as is available and move on with life.
Haha, I'm an idiot. I type in Dvorak and I actually meant the "/" key (which in Dvorak is the "]" key on QUERTY) but mistyped it several times. So much for accuracy of the Dvorak layout!
On my keyboard, the "\" key is directly above the "return" key. I have accidentally struck "return" at the same time as "\", resulting in entering the command before I meant it to. I've never done this as root or at root, but I'd be mighty pissed if I bricked my hardware with a simple mistake on the command line.
Whether they are high or not, they have not moved over the last several quarters. Whatever "damage" is being done to Apple by the currency market, it is certainly not margins.
The problem with your argument is that Apple's profit margin has remained constant despite a 20% increase in the value of the dollar vs. the Euro. Apple is big and diverse and likely has contracts in many different currencies.

Just like any orgasm you think you might have witnessed.
Twisted? Luxury!

Although the rest of New Hampshire barely considers those people to be part of the state.
Wait until they have 20,000 organized outsiders...
Backup off site is easy...

LOL, now you are stretching.

If only there was some way to carry a tank of brine solution on board an aircraft...
If the government wants to follow me to work, they can go right ahead and knock themselves out.

I'm not brave enough to try it on Solaris and FreeBSD or Mac. :)
That's smart, but doesn't it interfere with auto completion? I'm sadly reliant on that feature. I suppose I could do it in two steps.

How do margins holding up run counter to my argument?
Some of us are not lucky enough to have arbitrary numbers of monitors :)
Maybe you are thinking of return audio? DisplayPort has audio. One trick DP offers is a single cable hooking up two monitors - handy from a laptop.
But mainly for any given generation, DP has better throughput - more resolution/refresh rate.
You could say it's Titanic.
