Maybe because they're building up an arsenal under the radar (sort of speak). The idea being that if they pop just one, their entire production line would be finished prematurely against their master plans of world domination...or something... But honestly, I seriously doubt something like that could be hidden for very long. Radiation detection via the international community has a funny way of ensuring that.
Uh oh. We have a problem here. You're using logic and deductive reasoning. Surely you're going to get modded into oblivion for that. You poor bastard you.
In a round about way, sometimes the victim sets the stage for his/her own environment by which to be abused. Of course, those doing the abusing still must face justice and be punished accordingly.
Essentially, it's more like people want easy and simple results in both security and justice. However, many people don't put forth the effort in ensuring a positive future by working in the present. I'm sorry, but if you want something in life, you have to work hard it. This mantra holds true in almost all facets of life. You don't work, you don't get shit in return. Worse yet, some people work excessively hard, but at the wrong things in life. For those people, they get screwed twice. Ignorance is the most costly attribute any society can burden. Which BTW, is the point I'm trying to make.
The "power of the people" stopped giving a shit many moons ago. What makes you think "the people" care now? Where were they when they had a chance to elect, other than straight party line? Where were they when our media doles out a symphony of BS soundbites? Where were they when our Government decays right before their collective eyes?
Where were they when they had a chance to hold our elective officials accountable?!!! Can you really trust them now? Where's the damn accountability among individuals? If we don't have that, we've got nothing.
How about, "it's none of their fucking business". the ONLY effing reason our industry (Information Technology) thrives is because of lack of involvement by the Feds. The last thing we need is more more government over-site dictating how best to run IT. Government and their bureaucracies will only act as a viscous substance in an already hyper-fluid environment that thrives on turn-on-a-dime change. Government would serve to be the problem, not the solution.
What, that's not enough? You are so spoiled. If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't have Internet access for there would be none. Even the home PC could have been set back another 10 years or more. The transistor changed everything.
Here's a compiled list from a linked website. URL below.
Data Networking
Since the transmission of the first facsimile in 1925, Bell Labs has explored ways to use networks to deliver more than just voice traffic. In the late 1940s, researchers demonstrated the first long-distance remote operation of a computer by connecting a teletypewriter in New Hampshire with a computer in New York. Throughout the '80s and '90s, Bell Labs worked to increase modem speeds and pioneered the first trial of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology. Today, DSL is becoming a popular way to transform regular copper phone lines into high-speed data connections, giving consumers faster access to the Internet.
The Transistor
Developed in 1947, as a replacement for bulky and inefficient vacuum tubes and mechanical relays, the transistor revolutionized the entire electronics world. The transistor sparked a new era of modern technical accomplishments from manned space flight and computers to portable radios and stereos. Today, billions of transistors are manufactured weekly.
Cellular Telephone Technology
In a paper in 1947 Bell Labs was the first to propose a cellular network. The primary innovation was the development of a network of small overlapping cell sites supported by a call switching infrastructure that tracks users as they moved through a network and pass their call from one site to another without dropping the connection. Bell Labs installed the first commercial cellular network in Chicago in the 1970s. Since then Bell Labs has continued to innovate in the wireless area, recently creating digital cellular telephone technology offering better sound quality, greater channel capacity, and lower cost.
Solar Cells
While there were theories and activities to harness the sun’s energy dating back to the 1800s, Bell Labs, in 1954, was the first to actually build a device that used the sun’s power to create practical amount of electricity.
Laser
The invention of the laser, which stands for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation,” can be dated to 1958 with the publication of a scientific paper by Bell Labs researchers. Lasers launched a new scientific field and opened the door to a multibillion-dollar industry that includes applications in medicine, communications, and consumer electronics.
Digital Transmission and Switching
In 1962, Bell Labs developed the first digitally multiplexed transmission of voice signals. This innovation not only created a more economical, robust and flexible network design for voice traffic, but also laid the groundwork for today's advanced network services such as 911, 800-numbers, call-waiting and caller-ID. In addition, digital networking was the foundation for the convergence of computing and communications.
Communications Satellites
Bell Labs was the pioneer in communications satellites. In 1962 it built and successfully launched the first orbiting communications satellite (Telstar I). Telstar was unique in that it had the ability to receive a signal, amplify it, and then transmitted it back to elsewhere on earth . . . which is, after all, the core of what a communications satellite does. This technology allowed telephones calls to be bounced from coast to coast and around the world. The satellite was powered by Bell Labs solar cells and transistors – two other Bell Labs pioneering inventions.
Touch-Tone Telephone
First introduced by Bell Labs in 1963, touch-tone replaced rotary dials. This ushered in a new generation of telephone services and capabilities including voice mail and telephone call center applications. In a recent survey of Americans, touch-tone dialing was named the most important business communications advance of the last century.

Thanks. Not wanting to be an ungrateful ass or anything, but it would have helped if you had stated the following information pertained to the UK first. Laws differ from nation to nation. As an American, legal matters are taken with a grain of salt from a public forum. But generally useless outside the referenced country.
You have a point regarding a secure abstraction layer. But the idea of controlling pollution from one centralized station doesn't. From an overall assessment, you still to factor in energy loss from long distance power transmission and distribution. Also, each vehicle will incur losses during a recharge cycle. Those inefficiencies add up.
Are such reports available to the public? I'd love to read over them. If not, what major brands are you referencing? At the very least, was Intel on that list?
Why? If the MLC cells are both fast and reliable, why does that matter? If I understand this correctly, MLCs would be the equivalent of clusters on an HDD. If any bit of that data within that cluster needs to be changed, its entire contents will be all read, and re-written back to another cluster. The same process occurs on an MLC.
Actually, Shari law supersedes any and all law that comes before it. It is precisely why Islamic fundamentalists are against the concept of democracy. Democracy based on the idea that Man creates laws for himself whereas Shari law was already created by God. That's the difference. In there eyes, one set of laws are holy, while the other is hubris and thus punishable by death.
The people of Libya and Egypt are not fighting for democracy, they're fighting against dictatorships created and enforced by man. They want Shari law.
But will it pay off? Once you introduce specialization in a species, they're often that more co-dependent on each other. Prior to human civilization, these people would not have survived (or in great numbers at least) for very long. But if they can survive in large enough in numbers to procreate, we could be witnessing much more specialized diversity within the human race.
You know, there are many here that object to the concept of legislating morality. I'm speaking of the American/Euro liberal variety of course. Fascinating, no?
While not perfect, the principle of scaricity provides the impitus to prospective entrepreneurial to seek more of it. The idea being there's a much larger profit margin to be taken advantage of. When others jump in on the action, competition and supply increases, and costs come down. Basically, simple laws of supply and demand. The very foundation of a functioning economy. The government also has the power to keep it well maintained, or they themselves become the monkeywrench in the works.
So what happens when something gets too expensive and remain that way? Three things.
1. People purchase less of it. 2. People find and alternative to suit their wants and needs. 3. Rationing. Last resort for critical supplies.
Cost. All of that storage hardware and administrating its library costs money. They will simply pass the cost down to the consumer. YEY Goverment!!! **retarded clapping**
Drivers interface with the kernel. When you have a poorly written driver that steps in the wrong place in memory, a kernel panic will occur. In the Windows world, that's called a BSOD. Mind you, that any device driver can cause this. In fact, so can anti-virus software being they install their own software drivers for kernel access.
Yes, faulty hardware can cause a host of issues. But don't discount sloppy coding either.
Hairy, data transmission almost always employs some form of error correction. Everything from CPU calculations, buses, to drive/tape storage uses some form of correction scheme. Servers and workstation go a step further and use ECC RAM.
As for speed, you can go as fast as the laws of physics will alow. Once errors are introduced and corrected, the hardware will generally back off until no further excessive errors are detected. This is precisely how Gigabit Ethernet works. As for technical limitations, who knows. Theortectically they're there, but I'm not worried about it. I'm sure once that wall has been hit, further effort will be put forth on software optimizations. Currently, cheap hardware offsets lazy and sloppy programming. Again, I'm sure that will change.

(B) Should children culture themselves without any parental guidance?
You might get a hairy dick instead. Be careful.
Yes, that's what Peach calls it.
