All slowness isn't caused by the lack of bandwidth but because some sites links to infuriating slow ad sites that blocks the page until the ad is loaded.
But in reality, it seems that the only ones really pushing for the more extreme copyright acts are the *AA:s and this means that they want to be in control of our lives and what we see and hear.
The interesting thing with Mythbusters is that they do things the way an ordinary person would do in their own garage.
Most of the action is actually relatively harmless (but sometimes pain-inducing) and you can identify yourself with them.
When you go to other shows like Smash Lab or Brainiac it's not really the things that you actually would do, but more the things you imagine doing.
And Dirty Jobs is also about things an ordinary person does. You can see the persons as normal persons.
And then - if Adam is really prone to painful experiences even outside the show or not, well - if you take one for the show the way he does it, it will at least not hurt the audience.
Anyway - they also show serious concern about safety issues when it really counts. Hearing protectors, safety areas and so on. Occasionally they fail partially, like the home made rocket in the container. But it also shows the audience that you should be careful when playing with those things.
Removal of battery is feasible, since most of the information of interest is stored in flash, but it doesn't work for all phones since a few uses ordinary RAM and a backup capacitor, which effectively will wipe the phone completely if the battery is removed for too long.
So you have to know the phone to take the correct measures to allow the forensic team to have something to work with.
There was a time when there was no cache on the CPU.
And if you want maximum performance you really don't want a cache, but that solution is horribly expensive. A cache is a way to save on bandwidth for average situations, and in some cases the cache is useless.
Actually - the number of processes that a processor can handle doesn't only depend on the cache. It is also a question of the amount of memory a process needs.
For some solutions a large cache is just a waste of resources. Of course - these are usually special solutions, but anyway.
Evil question: Are you referring to Slashdot or Chrome?
Considering the fine print, this may mean that they reserve the right to read all data you see through their browser and that also means that they say that "we may have a snoop function" in the browser.
Just tell them that you are going to think about the offer and check if their business is legitimate or not and then also check if the person contacting you is actually representing that company.
It's fully possible that it's a domain squatter that is out collecting domains.
And if it's a legitimate offer and you are willing to sell, you are welcome to do so.
But the MS Java was the absolutely worst thing that could happen to Java since Microsoft thought that it should be done their way instead of the compatible way.
There are reasons behind the version handling too, and that's for good and bad... Just because Microsoft has one way of handling patches doesn't mean that it is the right way.
I wouldn't say that C# is easier or more powerful. It's similar to Java, but also different.
And personally I don't like the Visual Studio environment. It has some advantages if you develop specifically for Microsoft environment, but if not you are at a dead end. (Yes I know that Mono exists, but still)
That's true for Java, but that's also one of the things with Java that sometimes also causes the need for some extra tricks since you can't extend from two base classes.
Of course - it is a lot more complicated to do extend from two base classes since you will get a lot of side-effects. But you can also get some advantages by doing it.
Maybe, but I'll say that it's not a bad thing to be able to know Java.
There are benefits and there are drawbacks with Java, as there are with other languages. The drawback with Java is that you don't have any control over memory management, but the benefit is that it's easy to program in if you have been working with C and C++. And you will at least not suffer from some weird bugs that you can get in C or C++.
For beginners in Java I usually recommend JavaRanch.
And to develop I recommend Eclipse. It works fine and can give you instant feedback on many issues. Of course - it has some quirks too, but so does every tool.
And if you want to select a more extreme language I would recommend Erlang. It has a completely different approach than normal procedural languages, but sometimes it makes more sense.
Another issue is all the traffic generated by break-in attempts, spam and a lot of other junk traffic.
Or if I happen to have a small web server for personal amusement and it happens to get slashdotted...
Those are really going to blow the bandwidth cap.
It works fine with a bandwidth cap for plain surfing, but the net is more than that. And if I have my phone completely over VoIP, then they will cut the emergency call possibility by having a cap.
And it seems to me that we are going into the dark ages again with open season on muslims and others that doesn't conform to what the powers deems that they should be.
The similarities to early Nazi Germany is striking where the SA (Sturmabteilung) was used to help strike down on demonstrations and opposition. Today sections of FBI and DHS does the same work.
And the Jews of today are Muslims. The similarities are striking even there, even though the reasons are different. The Jews was accused of being accumulating wealth at the cost of common people, Muslims are accused of being terrorists.
And communication snooping, with today's Echelon was different, but also similar. Paper letters were steamed open and read and then re-sealed before reaching their destination. (I wonder where the SS got the lice and fleas from)
The whole situation in the US is so weird, and even though the voting system still is there it has showed that it has flaws caused by the Diebold machines. To me it seems that Bush is more a figurehead and a sacrificial goat for those in power behind that actually controls the whole scene. This means that even if McCain is put in place the core will still be in place behind the front that the White House is.
I'm just waiting for someone to dig up something really rotten about Obama or someone close to him to make sure that McCain gets the presidency.

And we didn't get any difference in the end result anyway.
Lawyer cooked up something and the crackdown went bust. The rest is minor details.
The speed of the development of flash drives will make the optical drives obsolete.
It's possible to buy 32GB flash disks today and the speed at which they are growing far outnumbers the speed of the development of the optical drives.
So expect that in a few years you will insert a CF card or USB stick into your media station and watch the latest movie.

Which will be interesting when you count in Vista then?
Didn't notice - but I run Firefox with Adblock Plus.
Maybe it would be easier to instead take out the tax on the goods the restaurants take in?
This will make tax inspections a lot easier since the number of items on a list to check is a lot easier to manage.
Overly exaggerated.

Hmmm... I did 250k lines Java from June 2007 to June 2008... System in production now!

Why not - as long as they have civil unrest there will be less risk for a direct and coordinated attack on Russia from that direction.
As the Soviet had it's "buffer" states during the cold war.
It's starting to get Stalinist all over again.
