Of course a lot of mid range ISPs aren't all that smart either.
One of the first things I would do as a mid-range ISP it analyse where most of my customers go on the internet. Then approach those data locations, cap in hand and negotiate mirroring and a data storage farm, so the by far the bulk of the traffic is from the data farm to the end user. The Data location only needs to update data once, it has less direct traffic, it can cut down on bandwidth, minimise servers by distributing throughout mid range ISPs and still control the data on them. For the ISP there is substantial less cross network traffic and their customers get far better service. Pluses all round. Smart caching and mirroring can hugely cut traffic, provide better quality services and save money all round.
It is time for the major content service data companies and mid range ISPs to get their act together and start working on minimising long distance traffic and work to localise it. Peta bytes of storage to power far more effective mirroring are a lot cheaper that all that traffic.
They are not regulating profit, they would be regulating access and ensuring the privacy of end users by making all their traffic communications traffic, which factually it is and protected by existing telecommunications laws, which of course factually, historically, all the existing telecommunications companies were able to expand and profit. So, yeah, I have to call bullshit on your comment because it does not reflect historical accuracy of analogue copper communications, which are capable of only carrying a small percentage of the same traffic at a far higher capital investment cost.
People are only asking for what they had under copper, a direct full bandwidth connection, for the life of that connection, between the end users (we are all end users, regardless of size). We just want that in fibre optic which factually is cheaper to install than copper, especially with regard to distance and major trunk costs, also allowing for much greater bandwidth and sharing of each fibre, the ability of ISPs to cache and mirror major traffic items and reduce data costs with better performance for end users and data transmission savings for the ISP.
Divide and conquer by leaving it up to local governments, screw you.
There is a world of difference between being politically active and just voting. That "damn fucking sure" is all about being politically active. Joining an opposing political party, contributing on the internet with discussion and participating in protests when required. I am a paying member of the Australian Greens because they seem like the most actual in reality conservative party, rather than an exploiters party just abusing that word, conservative. The Australian Greens are actually actively opposed to war and to the military industrial complex. So just do the same, at the very least in pushing opposition parties that actual oppose the current military industrial complex and of course get others to join in and get them to get others. If the majority pitch in, my survival plan works pretty damn easy.
I have a plan to. Make damn fucking sure the politician I vote for is far fucking more interested in diplomacy than war. My plan seems like a far better idea for survival.
Protect and serve, means protect and serve the public not themselves, idiot. What ever results in the greatest safety for the public and initial responce that is the opposite of "He can't enter without permission or warrant to he has to knock on the door and see who answers." is bullshit. The responding officer is either a trained professional or a trigger happy freak, trained professional will properly assess the situation, trigger happy US law enforcement of course, KILL KILL KILL.
Also increased precipitation reduces the salinity of water at the surface reducing the temperature at which affected seas will freeze. Also that increased precipitation will increase on the surface. Not to forget the story is a distortion, it was actually the largest increase percentage increase in ice cover, not the largest coverage ever. The trick hear being, take a pie cut it in ten pieces and remove 5 pieces, add five pieces back and you have the original pie. Now instead take away 7 pieces and then return 6 pieces, a record return but you are still one piece short.
Lie. Spying enables war, it creates the illusion of having sufficient control and being able to go in and kill whom ever you want and win. Spying the disrespecting of other countries laws and their citizens rights and is the peremptory action to war. The death penalty for espionage still exists in many countries and with good reason. Espionage routinely enables and uses organised crime in targeted countries, ignoring laws also covers ignoring laws like murder and extortion the assumption by those countries actively engaged in hostile espionage are that the targeted countries citizens have no rights and are to be considered sub-human to be abused at will as long as they hostile country can get away with it. It is pretty clear the US has become the enemy of world peace, quite simply because there is not enough profit in it, for the select few.
There is a win, risk analysis based upon reality. Initial police response to confirm is only minutes away, delaying everything whilst waiting for swat is tens of minutes. Unless of course the police force has been right wing screwed up and turned into for profit law enforcement, where police are far away chasing traffic fines and some trigger happy freak is all to eager to send and the swat team and kill some people, anyone.
There is huge risk in sending out the swat team, this has been proven time and time again, by far the safer and quicker response is by a properly managed police force and confirmation being sought by 'actively' patrolling police officers. No public call should ever, I repeat ever, activate the swat team, only a request by a senior officer on site should bring the dogs out.
Something needs to occur to 'energise' them generate the need and desire for growth. In the Japan case there is no where to go, nothing new to achieve, just continuing on. They need the surge of change to drive adventure and a reach for the future. Likely they need to start looking at an EU style union, to promote change and balanced growth. The problem for them, especially considering the immigration rules which is an important part, is whom to partner with. The only logical regional partner at this stage would be Australia. For the obvious access to resources, opportunities for development, and the challenges represented in aligning the cultures. Creating challenge often represents the best means of stimulating growth, making the most of the advantages both countries offer to generate a far greater outcome via that union. Certainly not easy but it would definitely energise both countries. Other countries, perhaps just Pacific Island countries, could then be invited once the initial union had resolved most issues.
Careful, you are pushing a lie in distinction between push traffic and pull traffic. Netflix traffic is traffic it generates a request for, it pulls traffic. End user traffic is the traffic the end user requests, it pulls for. There is also push traffic, unrequested traffic this is called advertising, generally packaged with requested traffic.
Stop spreading the lie that content producer generate lots of traffic. Content producers connect a server to the internet, the server quitely sits there doing not much of anything and generating little or no traffic. What happens next it the end user, uses the bandwidth they have paid for to access that server via the internet and get it to send the requested data to them, the 'END USER" generated the traffic.
Stop fucking lying liar, the end user the person who requests the content, the person who activates the server at the other end to send content, is in control, it is pull traffic, all controlled by the user who paid for their bandwidth.Netflixes traffic is their business traffic, the data their staff generates when they send emails, or request information from other servers on the internet. Making a server accessible and allowing end user to control the flow of data from that server to the end user is "END USER TRAFFIC" to and from.
The tripwire in this, is the use of it itself. "Reasonable Doubt" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R... being the legal tripwire. The DOJ hacks a computer with a zero day exploit proving beyond reasonable doubt that the computer in question could be hacked and substantiating reasonable doubt about the users guilt as another criminal organisation could have been secretly using the computer to commit crimes via that same zero day exploit. Now this doesn't even touch the idea that the very first and foremost activity of any policing organisation should be to warn and protect the public about dangerous computer exploits. Of course for profit 'LAW ENFORCEMENT" only cares about PR, conviction statistics and confiscating citizens stuff. Stupid is as stupid does and the DOJ under Obama is right up there, 'DOH'.
In the light let's correct the the heading. Edward Snowden did not cause the 'the most damaging breach of secrets in U.S. history.', he exposed the 'the most damaging breach of secrets in U.S. history.'. Let's be clear on this, it was the NSA that was conducting the illegal breach of secrets of people from all over the globe, no one was safe and no countries laws were respected, not the US not anyones. It was the NSA that was the completely unrepentant criminally insane computer network hacker, hacks not in the hundreds or thousands but very likely in the millions. This had nothing to do with securing anything for the US but everything to do with empowering the insane head of the NSA and his backers in their grab for power. He is now protected status by the secrets he holds, he knows more about the criminal activity of politicians from all over the globe than any other person in US history. As the the puppet president Uncle Tom Obama the choom gang coward, well, he runs nothing and has not done so for years, he just does as he is told to do and smile when he reads his instructions in front of the public on the teleprompter, the puppet prompter, what a way to go no in history, really lame.
Keep in mind, you are not just rolling over and taking it, you are also helping to stick it to everyone else. You are nearly as bad as the corrupt police sticking it to you (have to be cruel to be kind), sounds like you deserve it.
Always carefully read the contact "yours to keep", they did not say you would be able to use it. So allow your membership to lapse and you can't use it, renew your membership and maybe you might be able to use it again. In other countries where fit for purpose laws exist, it should result in a smack down ie the game is no longer fit for purpose, in the US of course without fit for purpose consumer laws this just means sucked in.
"It's as if", the USPTO has been completely corrupted by lobbyists working on behalf of patent lawyers into approving anything, pretty much absolutely anything, as long as it hasn't been patented yet. The purpose, not to generate income via that patent, but to generate income via the litigation of that patent both for and against and always in favour of patent lawyers. How long will it be before other countries start rejecting out of hand USPTO patents. They are approving everything from data base schemas, to transfer of existing applications from one size of device to another size of device, to device shapes etc. etc. etc. This is beyond USPTO laziness and well into blatant corruption of the patent process by the US government in order to extort payments from all other countries under threat of military and or economic sanctions.
Don't get pulled in by the initial distortion. It has nothing to do with buying a particular widget. It is all down to 'VERY LARGE' tenders and contracts. Specifically tenders written in such a way as to exclude the majority of smaller suppliers and targeted at a particular cartel of very large suppliers, this all done purposefully. The cartels pretty much write the tenders they 'er' bid on, it reality just ration them out amongst themselves.
This all happened when lobbyists fought hard to shrink government ie smaller purchasing and managing units of government were no longer able to manage a complex multifaceted supply chain made up of internal labour and many smaller contracts and were forced to hand out major contracts. These of course come under the purview of lawyers with extraordinarily complex contracts, which the shrunken government departments are not able to audit due to lack of personal. This is top down corruption, facilitated by corrupt corporations, funding corrupt lobbyists who seek to ensure corrupt politicians get elected who in turn insert corrupt political appointees into what is left of government departments. So a straight up conspiracy from the get go by corporations to defraud the treasury, with the rally cry of shrinking government, whilst the reality was, make government agencies incapable of properly managing anything so making easy to steal millions and billions from the public and screw the consequences.
Reality was and is, things go a whole lot smoother when government does as much work for itself in house as possible and avoids contracting out anything as those contracts feed corruption. The bigger the contracts the greater the corruption and one need look no further than the glaring example of Darth Cheney and Halliburton, billions stolen and hundreds of thousands dead so that 'NO BID' contracts could be handed out with massive profits (not that it was the only element of a particularly corrupt war).
The government could of course get them used to idea and allow them to economically adapt by auctioning off cab license on say a three year term with strictly one licence per bidder and the bidder (a person, an actual human being) must prove themselves capable of operating a cab. The number of licences defined by the lowest bid achieving a minimum defined value a portion of which should be returned upon successful completion of the cab licence period so that a skilled and well behaved cabbie can use it for the next licence auction. This is using licences to provide a quality service to the public, rather than using licences to create an employment monopoly to inflate charges and cut wages, serving greedy lazy middle person psychopaths rather than serving the public.
One only need look at how advanced elements of humanity treat wild regions of earth, seeking to preserve them rather than exploit them and to allow them to develop naturally whilst observing them with minimal interaction. Interaction only significantly increases if threat exceeds acceptable levels and then would likely be quite hostile of the typical cull variety. For example in the human case that would likely extend to genetic targeting of psychopaths and narcissists the root cause of humanities social ails.
Of course the logical expectation is that humanity like any other advancing species would learn how to properly deal with it social problems, like psychopaths and narcissists as well as reach out with advanced communications prior to being accepted.
So are earthlings ready, likely a reasonable proportion are, however there are a sufficient proportion of unacceptable types which reduce the average acceptable and thus exclude the species. Logically it would be the junior societies problem to be able to demonstrate its ability to deal with its problems and not up to others to do it for it, its failure to do so precludes from advancing. Notionally low IQ or undeveloped types are not necessarily a disadvantage as nature preserves would seem logical, not all humans would need to reach for the stars in order for a significant portion to gain access.
Generally the most accepted ploy for why machine intelligence would enslave us is because it was programmed that way. As in the manufacturer and their team of psychopathic executives and board members programmed it to enslave us on their behalf. The malfunction being a simple recognition failure on behalf of the machine intelligence on who and who is not to be a slave, the when it doubt factor, do you set free when in doubt of do you enslave when in doubt, of course when programmed by psychopaths the answer metaphorically speaking is "kill them all and let God sort them out".
Oh Look, the US government and the US military are already designed killer robots designed to hunt and kill human beings with the robot deciding who dies and who does not, now what could go wrong with that?
Apart from one thing, "according to a major Ukrainian news site". So this from a country that screams fowl about snipers (of questionable origin) joined in by Western Media against right wing protesters and yet ho hums about using tanks and helicopter gunships to eliminate left wing protesters. This same news source also claims that people who seize government buildings are now terrorists and disabled the forums to prevent counter opinion. So they shut down the anti-riot police (questionable allegiance) but in turn let loose the military on anti-terrorist operations (only to see military unites evaporate rather than murder civilians). OH Yeah, I believe. Damn If I don't believe this comes right out of US=B$ Department of State.
The disc is a pain, fingerprints, dust, scratches and short life media coatings. The sooner it is tossed out and replaced by flash drives the better. Optical has definitely had it's day and it is high time for flash memory to take over.
Do you know the reality of why using reverse osmosis to desalinate seawater is so expensive, it is because seawater is at sea level and requires a lot of energy to pump up hill. This is magnified by the efficiency of the desalination process where by between four and five times as much salt water needs to be pumped to produce freshwater. So it is all about energy efficiency built into the system. So things like have desalination plants below sea level and circulate the majority of the water rather than pumping it up hill. Inland salt water reservoirs filled by renewable energy resources, at higher ground level than the targeted supply points, you can recover energy via the flow of water.
