I think this is also because Nokia sold more than net limiting technology. Apparently they also sold devices which pick up the EMR's emitted by cell phones which allowed police to home in on any person who has a phone on their person - especially to those who are making calls/texting/transmitting data. To my knowledge such technology is not in use in China (currently).
Agreed. One of parents' examples was myspace. Logging on there now you can see two livestrong banners, neither one is being served by google. There is a google ad in the lower right hand corner, and a google search at the very bottom. The primary ad is not adwords. So much for exclusivity.
The fact is, google holds no position which is insurmountable. Yes they lead search technology, ad technology, and online video technology. However unlike other monopolistic companies they do not lock in vendors to only using their products. They don't sue anyone who starts developing a competing product. They have cool technology, but your computer will work just fine, as will your internet experience, with or without google.
I mean, honestly, any one of us, given the willpower and time could develop an ad platform to compete with google's. The fact that no one has does not mean that it can't be done. Likewise, if someone is able to create a better search algorithm, it could overtake google search. There are a ton of video sites that compete with youtube as well. The fact is, no one holds a gun to anyone's head and says "USE THIS GOOGLE PRODUCT!" Now if google were to start making deals with all OEM's that their default search engine was google search, google docs was the default productivity package, chrome was the default browser, then maybe you would have a case. Ultimately, they are a big player, but they are not a monopoly.
In my mind, a business becomes a monopoly when they completely bar entry into a market. Google does not do this. There aren't going to be henchmen showing up at your door if you start making mysweetvideohostingsite.com. Now make something that competes directly with Microsoft? Or apple? Yeah, you might have to watch your back.
I think they're more worried about a massive series of quakes being set off, like the ones in China which they're pretty darn sure were caused by water pressing down at a newly built dam.
You may have it, however what about a small child in a tribal village in the middle of the Kush? Will they have access to a bunch of floppy disks if their only computer is a donated 286? This item isn't being marketed to you.
Ah yes, because spare floppy drives, floppy discs, cd drives, and writable media are everywhere in places where all they have access to are machines which can barely run win2k.
No problem:) I agree with you, it is very much so. Any debilitating debt can lead to recession. When you get charged 15,000$ just for a ride on an ambulance, prices are out of hand. Sadly, to fire up a med-evac helicopter 10 years ago cost 15,000$. That's just to turn on the engine, not to actually fly. Who knows what it costs now.
When a friend of mine was in a chemical accident, her medical bills were over 2 million dollars. For many people, that is quite simply more money than they will ever see in their lifetimes.
They're idiotic if that is their intention. People considered 'dubya to be a cowboy. Wait until you actually start attacking Americans - then you'll see how rowdy Americans can be.
Read this. You can also install Tor. I respect your wishes, but must warn you that getting involved against a foreign nation might not be the smartest idea.
I will demure and let you decide for yourself. Information is meant to be free.
Honestly, I am slightly troubled. I spoke with ProtestorHelp last night on the NetAnon. He was also trying to organize a support structure to help Pakistani refugees. I feel bad for him, he seemed like a swell fellow.
First, IPv6 is still a draft standard(s) to my knowledge. Many pieces of equipment aren't interoperable because of conflicting draft standard revisions. Further, the IPv6 stack gets updated in windows updates, and suddenly everything is broken. We have had this happen for a bank who tried upgrading to IPv6. The deployment went smoothly, until a windows update changed the IPv6 stack to use a different standard from the standard being used by the networking hardware. Suddenly they lost connectivity with all branch offices and had to pull back the update. A day's worth of productivity ruined because of this.
Further, how are they going to solve the other issues with IPv6? Dual stack, teredo tunneling - none of these things are standards. They could handle all of it on the network shy of the last mile with teredo tunneling, but then the clients are still limited to IPv4 addresses.
This is like someone saying "hey, we want all of you to use this thing we're not sure will work yet." It's foolhardy. Let the IEEE do their work and roll crap out when it's finished. Using your paying customers as beta testers is foolish - nay - freaking retarded.
My mountain bike handles it just fine, thankyouverymuch. A hybrid bike will handle it as well. I just wouldn't take a road bike out, unless you're into fixing flats every 200 feet. Hopefully this brings in more bikers.
Um, no. Prime Minister Mossadegh was an ally to the US, and a democratically elected leader who was pretty well loved by his people save for a few people who were still loyal to the shah. That changed when Mossadegh nationalized Iranian oil production and nullified all petrol production contracts that had been created when Iran was considered a ward of the US and UK after WWI. In response, the US declared him a communist, and then used the CIA and MI6 to perform Operation AJAX. They spurred up civil uprisings by hiring a number of local gangs to take to the streets. After taking Mossadegh captive and under permanent house arrest, they replaced the Shah. They also trained SAVAK, the Iranian secret police to kill any secularist supporters who might oppose the Shah. With most of the secularists either executed or terrified to speak out for fear of reppercussion to themselves or their families, the stage was ripe for the religious extremists to start gaining power, in fact more power than the Shah. See, the extremists had the power of the Iranian Bazaar and its elders/clerics behind them - basically the economic backbone of Iran. The United States and Britian are solely responsible for the government in Iran today for removing Mossadegh out of oil lust, and for training Savak to slaughter all who promoted secularism.
When you kill all of the secularists, you're left with two types of people - the religious, and the religious zealots.
You obviously haven't been to law school, through a corrections course, or seen what happens to people who have ever been convicted of a crime. There's a reason we have higher recidivism rates than nearly any other country on earth. We destroy the lives of our convicts, often off of shreds of evidence that are flamboyantly paraded by charismatic lawyers while denying evidence that could change the verdict because of legal technicalities. Good luck getting a job if you've been convicted.
These groups only really pursue people who do one of two things - 1) try to make information that is free unfree (the antithesis of the internet), and 2) do things so abhorrant that they rouse the majority to action against them.
Why do you hate free speech? These were shorthand notes - I've seen much worse written in the scrawlings of medical doctors when I do work at hospitals.
You also are forgetting licensing, toy sales, royalties on kids items, etc. No one has is selling 4fast4furious coloring books, beach towels, bath toys, shampoos... Finding Nemo on the other hand...
Seriously, boohoo. No other carrier offers discounts on ANY phone midway through your plan. Suck it up and pay the extra 200$. Just because its an iphone doesn't make you special and exempt from company policies. If it did, well, I'll take a 99$ palm pre then thank you.
Glad it wasn't me. If I had that much cash back then it would have all been spent on pot. Smoking that much reefer would have to be bad for a developing mind... I might have become a physics major or something!
Studies have shown that many other species have vocalizations best described as laughter, including chimps, dolphins, and rats. I wonder if this is a purely mammal thing?
Where in there does it say the updates would be free? I don't see anything about it. I'm inclined to think less "second game in series" and more "first expansion pack."
I agree with her statement. You expect a rich white man who lives in the Hamptons or Bel Air, and spends his days doing nothing but politicking and playing golf to be able to hand down a just sentence on someone who comes from a completely different part of society? You expect him to fairly judge someone who is starving, homeless, and steals a loaf of bread, and (I shudder at the thought) some baby formula? He has no context or even a remote claim to empathy with that person. He exists completely outside that part of the world and society.
You expect him to be suited for telling a young woman that she has to bear the child of a man who raped her, despite never being in a situation where someone he knew/loved was raped? This is a very real possibility for this judge to have to face.
He'd be fine for passing sentences on white collar offenders, but for those who live in the ghettos, someone from the ghettos will be better suited.

Like real Canadians use central heating. Everyone knows when it gets cold you just cuddle up to the nearest moose.

I don't know what you're asking, did you intend to use a double negative?
They're idiotic if that is their intention. People considered 'dubya to be a cowboy. Wait until you actually start attacking Americans - then you'll see how rowdy Americans can be.

It de-allocates the refuse of the program so your computer can use it for other stuff.
