No, both statements are not correct. The correct statement is the answer to the question: "Could you care less?" If you care very deeply about something, then you would say "Yes, I could care less" because, after all, it IS possible. If you don't care at all, then you would say "No, I could not care less" because you can't care less than zero.
The bastardizing of "couldn't care less" into "could care less" is the same bastardization that makes people write "could of" and "should of" instead of "could have" and "should have". Or "the dog wagged it's tail" instead of "the dog wagged its tail". Just because it might sound similar when you say it quickly and just because lots of people make the same mistake, it doesn't make it correct.
How about Facebook give us the ability to take our data with us so when everyone realizes what they are doing we can move somewhere else?
Any data on Facebook that is yours is because you provided it to them. All you need to do is re-provide it elsewhere. The other information such as what friends have written on your wall, for example, is information provided by them and isn't yours. Get them to re-provide their information wherever else you choose to go.
You can still vent the hot air elsewhere, but the problem with hot air only containment is that then the entire room is effectively one large cold aisle, contained within the walls and the limiting factor is how well insulated the walls are. If that logic holds, it's better to limit the size of the cold aisle as you can add a lot more really good insulation where appropriate to limit unwanted heat absorption.
Then why has Apple spend $80 million to buy it just so it could kill it three months later?
I think it's pretty obvious that Apple isn't in the business of running non-Apple companies, so that they would shut it down should come as no surprise. How is the $80M justified then? A few possibilities:
1. Apple believes the acquisition of all those customers is worth it. 2. Lala possessed IP (technology, patents, etc.) of interest to Apple. 3. Lala obtained licensing deals that Apple can leverage in its favor. 4. ??? 5. Profit.
That doesn't seem very conducive to a competitive market.:(
Tell that to the Lala owners who, rather than make their money selling songs to individuals at 50 cents a pop, chose to make their money selling in one giant transaction to their competitor, Apple. Good for them.
Nothing to get straight there. Glassing Conneticut sure doesn't sound that green to me.
How about the Sahara desert then, which is about as far from green as it gets? The side effect of providing shade and trapping moisture will make it more green.
No, they're asking how many bits you can get out of a 140 character tweet regardless of what you can encode into those bits. If they just type ASCII, that's 140 * 7 bits = 980 bits of info (I'm ignoring nonprintables for the sake of argument). Yeah, you could build a compression scheme on top of those 980 bits, but that's now what the competition is about. Through the use of Unicode characters and other tricks, someone managed to get over 4339 bits, averaging 31 bits per "character".
I once stayed at the BirgerJarl in Stockholm and was checking my IP address and lo-behold, I was handed an IPv6 address! Next time I went through the lobby, I mentioned how impressed I was to a lady at the counter and she replied that if I liked, she could give me an IPv4 address instead and to just let her know...
Any recommendations in UK, France, or Switzerland? Heck, is there one in the US or Canada? It'd be nice to tell people what to look for.
Not sure about France or Switzerland, but the last time I stopped over in Heathrow, they had vending machines you could buy them from. See: http://www.vendpoint.co.uk/
I noticed a few that would give you both a UK and a US phone number on the one SIM. I actually regret not picking one up just for the hell of it. Anyway, if you have a 3G stick and the SIM you buy has a data plan, just throw the SIM card into the 3G stick and you're good to go.
Having just watched it again, it may not fully answer your question. With what you learned from the video in mind, the OSI model is the layers the video talked about. There are seven layers altogether, with the lowermost layer being the physical hardware everything runs on, followed by the network connecting the hardware, then how data is passed over the network, and so on until you get to the application layer. You've heard of TCP/IP? That's TCP (layer 4) running on top of an IP (layer 3) network. ICMP is a different network which is what things like 'ping' (ICMP echo) and 'traceroute' run over. You've heard of UDP? That's another layer 4 protocol different from TCP.
What runs on the application layer is things you're already familiar with. SMTP (email), telnet, FTP, DNS, NTP (network time protocol), and so on including HTTP. HTTP is effectively the web -- it's what a world wide web browser ("web browser", or now just "browser" for short) uses as its primary protocol and why you see URLs starting with http: . So HTTP or "the web" is an application that runs on top of everything below it. You still need the physical hardware, the network connecting the hardware, the various transmission protocols and so on to deliver the data used by the web. Similarly, SMTP or commonly just "email" is an application that runs on top of everything below it.
Think of the acronyms if that will help you understand it better. SMTP is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a protocol for transferring simple mail. HTTP is HyperText Transfer Protocol, a protocol for transferring hypertext. FTP is File Transfer Protocol, a protocol for transferring files. NNTP is Network News Transfer Protocol, a protocol for transferring network news, what you've likely heard of as simply Usenet or "newsgroups". You get the idea.
That's the simplistic view of things. In reality, HTTP has been extended to transfer more than just hypertext. Through the use of MIME types (image/gif, image/jpeg, text/html, text/xml, image/binary, and so on) you can transfer arbitrary things that browsers and other applications can understand.
Have all the commands cryptographically signed; it doesn't matter where a message is coming from as long as it has the right signature.
And have the cryptographically signed commands posted on Slashdot as AC postings. Have the bots scan the most recent Slashdot stories at -1 for their commands.
Isn't that because everybody totally blocks all inbound email connections from China? It's no longer profitable to use China as a spam source even considering all the "bulletproof hosting" offered there.
I'm going to start a restaurant called Christ-Fil-A with a corporate mission to "Deep fry God". The menu will be divided into a section for food and a section for drinks. I'll call the sections "Body of Christ" and "Blood of Christ".
I'm guessing $50 million in lost opportunity cost.
That's right, you're guessing when you pull a number like that out of your ass.
What would a loss of 2% in marketshare over the next 3 years cost Apple? What is the cannibalization of current iPhone sales costing Apple? What will the premature hype cost Apple in terms of the loss in marketing exposure when people are actually able to buy? What will Apple's total legal costs from this be? What other financial repercussions will there be?
Yeah, we don't necessarily know exactly what those numbers will be. Maybe competitors can't/won't act on this information and the impact will be less than 2%. But you do the match... what's 2% of $1B in annual sales over 3 years? What's 1%? The point remains that those who claim "oh but this benefits Apple... look at all the free publicity" are ignoring many other factors.

An extraordinarily interesting interview, to say the least. Well worth a full read.
Seems like a pretty wise (if sleazy) purchase to me.
You mean wise for Apple, sleazy for the Lala owners who took the $80M payout? Sign me up for some of that sleaze!
Then why has Apple spend $80 million to buy it just so it could kill it three months later?
I think it's pretty obvious that Apple isn't in the business of running non-Apple companies, so that they would shut it down should come as no surprise. How is the $80M justified then? A few possibilities:

2. Lala possessed IP (technology, patents, etc.) of interest to Apple.
3. Lala obtained licensing deals that Apple can leverage in its favor.
4. ???
5. Profit.
Could be any, all, or none of the above.
Note to self: remove the 'distressed' app from my crontab...

Don't ask me what salat means, though. I have no idea.

"And that, kids, is how I met your mom."
Of course you are paying for the convenience of being directly at the airport.
Even stranger considering that YVR has free wifi.

Hopefully that makes a bit more sense.
