"You know what I can't figure out? How is it that all these stupid neanderthal mafia guys can be so good at crime, and smart guys like us can suck so badly at it."
Is having a copy of a key circumvention of copy protection? If someone leaves the key for a house that I own on my doorstep with a note saying "this is the key to the house you have purchased." Using the key wouldn't be circumventing anything. Breaking in through a window on the other hand would be. Crappy analogy, but I hope it gets the point across.
And removing emulation. Both of which are features printed "on the box." I wonder if they press it if Geohot could begin a class action lawsuit? I know there's a ton of nerds out there who'd be foaming at the mouth.
Theoretically because its standardized hardware you could write things very specifically for it, garnering a HUGE performance boost over general purpose hardware.
Seriously, stop trying to be cool. Your software was originally marketed toward professional desktop computing, giving you an image of the professional dad. Your trying to be cool makes you look like the old dad who tries too hard to compensate for a life with little to show for it. You have chosen your path, and you have given the world some pretty awesome things - look at windows (haters can hate, but you have to give credit considering the sheer volume of its install base), look at the xbox. Just stop trying to be trendy and hip; pick something and do it damn well. How can someone like me who has a BA in psych have better business savvy than you? Sincerely,
Lol, I remember doing that in middle school programming class with qbasic, and running it on every one of the library computers. Then standing off in a corner chuckling as the librarians scrambled to fix the problem. It only got funnier when I learned how to disable the scroll lock key (the only break sequence the librarians knew was ctrl+scroll lock). It was hilarious to a teenage kid, even after I got sent to the principal.
They're not private emails. Our public pays for them. There's a reason why government representatives aren't allowed to use their private email accounts for official business. If they're doing something "privately" they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
The same could be said of Hindi versus other languages like Gujarati. While technically they're dialects of the same language, the branching occurred so long ago that there are some very notable differences. While practically it is all Hindi, in some cases it goes beyond small differences. I'm not sure how long ago the language branched in the case of Chinese languages; however I do know that both Japanese and Korean are based somewhat heavily on Chinese. I'm assuming that this branching happened earlier though.
So, you would propose having two telephones to every home, so there's strictly one there for backup? What you seem to want done is wholly impractical. Emergency calls run over the same network as all other voice calls. We just make sure that they're given priority.
If you can find me a majority of VOTING people (outside of telecom owners)who are willing to pay more money for the exact same level of service they currently enjoy, I will buy you a box of cookies.:)
You're very correct; however it won't always guarantee a lack of latency, burstiness, packet loss and jitter needed for a decent sounding phone call. Those things matter a bit less for data; you won't care if your packets have a bit more latency than real time data because its not as important. The effect on voice is pretty noticable though. That said, many providers never bother to use QoS outside of regulatory stuff so you're pretty much correct;)
As someone who works for a telephony carrier, I can tell you for a fact that you we DO to handle QoS as well as the user. Its a regulatory requirement in the USA. First, most of the time any QoS markings placed on either a traditional or voip call get wiped out at the first hop, because users otherwise would start marking themselves as higher priority than other users. It's a basic security concern mentioned in most network books when they describe QoS. Then after you strip off that stuff, you usually start using DSCP markers and MPLS, and above that you've got routing decisions to go with different carriers to reach the destination based on the cost to use their lines. All of these decisions get modified when its an emergency call. And yes, those calls do get misrouted sometimes; and there's hell to pay for it. Just like any other regulatory call.
Yes they are. Google "Policy Servers" and look around for a company called Camiant who makes their business selling servers to carriers that manage things like that.
I agree. If I was 100% chained to their options I would be more upset. They sell a streamlined user experience that they and their business model support. If you want their support, you play by their games and use what they sell you. Simple as that. You can jailbreak. You can use android. Just don't expect support. Then you can install whatever the hell you want. Let them slit their own throats.
The people of the USA could have stopped it if they were actually interested in performing their civic duty and not just in bread and circuses. Our political obligations don't end with voting. Do you seriously think that any anti-net neutrality legislation would be rubber-stamped if even 1000 people gathered outside of the capital and refused to leave until their voices were heard? 10,000? 100,000? A million? The country is a fading empire; history is repeating itself, and the country will fade just like Rome did.
More importantly, what if a carrier network is carrying VoIP traffic? Your rule would make it illegal to give 911 calls priority over all other traffic, and would undermine the ideas of QoS. I agree with your rule in spirit, but it needs some amendments to be practical.
Funny enough, the most rational speaking I've ever heard from a religious person was from a church astronomer (not astrologer) who worked for the Vatican. Basically he stated that the bible stopped being written around 200AD, and modern science really didn't come to fruition until the 1700's. So the bible should have no bearing whatsoever on modern science. He also stated that people who never read the bible, and are content with whatever their religious leaders tell them are the most dangerous thing in religion today. Its interesting that the most illuminated view I've ever heard was from someone who worked for the church. Check out the movie Religulous with Bill Maher if you're interested; its a great watch.
The mindless Cafetaria-religious folk who live by whatever they're spoonfed from a pulpit? Yeah, they'll be pissed. The people who've actually taken the time to read their respective holy books more than likely won't care. Hell, I'm happy to see it. Though it does make me a little sad that homosexual couples won't adopt as much; that's a lot of kids needing a home who won't get one if this occurs. If it does roll out, I'm hoping there's a price premium on it, like invitro-fertilization so adoption is still encouraged.
I honestly think the best parts of my education involved things blowing up, or combustion. Potassium bars being dropped into water. Baking soda and vinegar. Seeing pretty colors when you burn different chemicals. Welding in shop. Hell, even blasting ants with magnifying glasses during recess. Hopefully they do learn something at least... burning stuff is fun and educational!

OMG! That's illegal! I'll use a quote to show everyone the thing that is illegal so they don't type it accidentally. Just doin my civic duty.

C'mon, leave "Say Anything" alone. It's a good movie. So is High Fidelity, and Being John Malkovich.
