Is this a serious answer, though? The vast majority of the land area of the US is almost unpopulated. But *MANY* people live in highly populated areas.
For instance:
San Francisco: 6688 people per square km
New York: 10482 people per square km
Chicago: 4816 people per square km
For comparison, Tokyo has a population density of 5847 people per square km.
So, to re-ask the grandparents question: Why are our urban areas so far behind Japan and South Korea's urban areas?
Yes, the SDK has serious restrictions. But how can you compare this to microsoft? The whole point with regulating microsoft was the fact that microsoft has a monopoloy. I don't think anyone is going to argue that Apple has a monopoly in the mobile phone market. That's rediculous. If you don't like the iPhone or the iPhone SDK -- go elsewhere. There is plenty of competition. I personally will accept these drawbacks and keep using my iphone.
You're right about earth's escape velocity, but the thing about escape velocities is that you never actually have to achieve it. Do you think when the space shuttle is launched into orbit it actually goes 25,000 mph?
The flaw in your thinking is two fold: 1. The rocket will continue to exert a force on its way up. You could get to space going 1 mph if you could continue to apply a force.
2. He didn't say he was going to get his rocket to leave the solar system -- just that he wanted to get it into space. That takes a lot less velocity.
How does everyone set their clocks without calling time? Lacking pulling out the shortwave radio and tuning to WWV, wasn't this the only low latency high accuracy clock easily accessible from home? (Key words low latency)
While I agree that using the term rootkit is highly questionable in this context, I think there's an important distinction between having a hidden partition on a USB drive and what this driver does. This driver installs an inaccessible directory in C:\windows\, not on the USB drive. Still, what this driver does certainly doesn't fall under the category of rootkit, IMO.
A company cares about their bottom line, and suddenly they're evil? That's rediculous. Under US corporate law, the sole responsibility of the board of directors is to make a profit. It's the system that's evil, not Apple. Whether a corporation's profit is aligned with your standards of good or evil is purely coincidental.
Sure, Google might look like the good guy when it comes to the spectrum auction -- but that's only because it will help their bottom line down the road.
Similiary, Apple looks evil to you, and that's solely because profit for them involves the use of patents, which you consider to be evil.
I'm sure chemists love to make catchy abbreviations for common substances. I've never heard a chemist call liquid nitrogen anything but liquid nitrogen.
While I agree that this may seem hypocritical at first glance, I think that this over simplifying a bit. For instance: What if the government creates unballenced regulation? Adding more regulation to ballance things can often be a good solution when deregulation is not a possibility.
That would explain this behaviour in the additional requests, but I believe the author was stating that when accessing a webpage for the first time, IE simply sends a request with no SYN sequence. Someone should test this.

Well... sort of.
