VOIP uses approximately no bandwidth relative to Mexico city's landline connection, such that the drop in Netflix traffic concomitant with any easily observed or difficult to not observe event would afford more than adequate bandwidth for voice traffic. "Packet switched networks," as you say, does include GSM, which would certainly be jammed in such an event. Perhaps the old analog cell networks could fall under the circuit switched definition, but they'd be of less use than a 2 meter piece of wire you hang outside and use to tell your folks that you didn't die, but Jose and Linda are dead (just kidding, Dad, we were all outside lying on the big trampolene and smoking dope when the big one hit. It was actually kind of fun, except we got dusty when the house collapsed.)
I do generally agree with what you're saying, though. Fucking internet is bullshit; I hate this garbage too. Nobody reads these days. Time was, we'd blue box for hours ultra long distance about phreaking just because it felt good to tie up vital resources. And these electric cars! Useless in a crisis. Well, now that I think about that more, I realize it's also not true. But I'd agree with anyone who waxed philosophical about machining piston heads that you can't exactly build your own solar panel and so '68 mustangs outgun teslas in mad max eventualities.
You're not important enough for anyone to care about your private communications. All countries spy. I, for one, think it's hot that the NSA sees my sexts. If the NSA didn't do this, we'd already be dead. Everybody already knew the NSA does this, so it doesn't matter. It's not espionage if it's the data wasn't encrypted. The constitution is a ball of twine to be picked at until nothing remains. Burma shave.
This fucking bullshit dispensed with, you are now free to have a meaningful conversation.
It's according to how much actual toxic waste was in the water.
While the article (and the excerpt above) mention a list of scary chemicals that "can" be found in wastewater from natural gas drilling, it's also quite possible that the major component was... mud. And a small percentage of oil (usually three percent or less, and even lower for a natural gas well, all the way down to "practically zero") - and other not-very-toxic stuff. Or "toxic chemicals" found in parts per million or lower. If they were using fracking chemicals, the mud might have had some bleach and surfactants in it.
Now, if the rock they were drilling through had a high metal content, the water may have picked up some of that - but probably not too much, overall. Enough to break water standards, but not enough to be actually dangerous.
Since there's no charges, it was probably low-concentration stuff - a technical violation, but not serious.
Dear lord, drilling mud is more than just plain mud. "Parts per million! Who cares about a few parts per million!?"
It's a nationalism thing. Even if no Japanese person would eat a single mouthful of whale, the Japanese nationalists would still want whales hunted solely to stick a finger in the eye of the gaijins.
Forget the plans to replace the park (the last remaining public park with trees in the city) with yet another shopping mall. That's all the protesters want! It's all over real estate developers wanting to bulldoze a park.
Break the problem down into parts. Carefully consider contingencies. Get creative - sleep on it. Think about it in the shower. What bullshit will crop up as I work on this project?
Using all your experience as to how long similar components took to implement in the past, plus how much longer it would have taken if worst case nuclear godzilla attack had occurred, compute time estimates for each component.
Add all the time estimates together.
Multiply by the Planck constant in Joule seconds / (pi^3 / e^2) * 10^34... approximately 1.58. It has something to do with brane theory and the double slit experiment. Trust me.
Indeed. Furthermore, how many trillions has the US spent supporting a government in Afghanistan that is no less hated and corrupt than the Republic of South Vietnam was? A government that will last just as long without US support?
And yet, these cretins worry over things costing less than a thousandth the cost. Keep cutting discretionary spending and keep stealing from social security to cut taxes on the rich, US, and you'll be just like Russia in no time. Minus the natural resources. We Norwegians hoped Obama might get you back on track, but you guys apparently resent it, and it is ultimately your right to decline and deteriorate if you want.
FYI, unemployment for graduates with engineering degrees is less than 1% here, and immigration into Norway is easy for skilled workers. Send your useful people to Norway and let the rest finally have things as they please. You deserve better, and the idiots just plain deserve it.

It's not so unlikely: "The company [Tesla Motors] announced in early August 2009 that it had achieved overall corporate profitability for the month of July 2009.[51] The company said it earned approximately US$1 million on revenue of US$20 million. Profitability arose primarily from improved gross margin on the 2010 Roadster, the second iteration of Teslaâ(TM)s award-winning sports car. Tesla, which like all automakers records revenue when products are delivered, shipped a record 109 vehicles in July and reported a surge in new Roadster purchases."
Wikipedia lists their 2012 revenue as -251m, presumably because Tesla Motors is making heavy capital investment in production. They've been profitable before, and their investors apparently think they will be again.
It's worth noting that the already established and highly profitable oil companies take billions of incentives from your government every year. Evidently, they just love giving money to industrialists of every stripe. And banks, of course.
Advancing new basic technology with great strategic potential for reducing US dependency and therefore entanglement in the middle east is an excellent idea. Perhaps Fiskers was a poor choice - but doing nothing until after oil hits $500 a barrel would be far worse.
What happens when the NK leadership gets to a point where they feel they have nothing to lose by attacking?
They'll never get to that point. Less aide means more people starve until only Kim Jong Un remains - in a bunker, watching Tom & Jerry. Going to war means the game is up and Kim Jong Un has to find another line of work. He will never pull the trigger.
Adding an IP address to their whitelist is no easy thing. You see, they hire only blind, deaf quadriplegics, so each octet is entered in binary through a mouth open/close morse code interface. But that's only after your request makes it through the queue to be read through tactile forehead tapping tty... Perfectly understandable that these folks detest spam, isn't it?
There's a simple solution - install Windows Server 2003/2008. It doesn't need fancy graphics card to operate. That is, if you are looking for server/virtual server OS. Otherwise you can just go with Windows XP or Windows 7.
A headless windows server doesn't need a fancy graphics card... but neither does a headless linux server.
If you invest in accessories for the new connector, you'll be less inclined to buy a non-Apple phone.
Perhaps their connector has additional pins for HDMI, but they could have placed a real HDMI connector beside the USB connector for easy docking. Alternately, they could sell a dongle to pipe HDMI video out from USB2 as other manufacturers already do.
But then they couldn't lock their customers in and charge exorbitant licensing fees for their connector.
You can't even get surface tablets yet. Why would you want to attack them? And why would you need help from Microsoft? I think a pocket knife or a pair of scissors would do the job. Those surface mock-ups didn't look very robust.
By telling us his method, he lost the advantage of his method vs just using AES. IE, if we don't know how he generates the stream against which his data is XORed, that stream might as well be a one time pad. But now that he told us, the problem is reduced to brute forcing the initial stream generator parameters.

It comes from ice sitting on land that melts. There's enough of that to raise the sea level by seventy meters.
Haha, no, I don't think I'm going to spend my time explaining such things as "the oceans are large." You are pig ignorance exemplified.
