A microcell is a wifi (or Ethernet) to cell network converter that then connects to a phone. It's basically wifi calling with an additional intermediate step. Far better to fix wifi calling instead of introducing another intermediate point of failure.
Nah, just put a AU$50/day congestion charge in the CBD or increase parking fees, so the amount of drivers is reduced enough so people can safely walk and cycle:)
Who said anything about hi-res cameras? The cameras literally need only as good of a resolution as to count moving objects (people/vehicles). They did that for a while in NYC -- a contractor literally zip-tied cheap camera hardware to traffic light posts. Tiny lenses and they removed them after a week or so.
There's nothing holy or sacred about the law in itself unless it prevents people from being harmed.
Remember, the law used to support slavery, prohibit inter-racial marriage, and a whole host of other things we find abhorrent today.
It's mostly a code designed to control people, written by a bunch of impotent old people for sale to the highest bidder... I mean lobbyist. Don't mistake legality for morality.
WAS he actually putting altered software on the disks? If not, then there is no functional difference between the MS/Dell disks and what he was producing.
Nah, fuck everyone who's involved in this railroading. Do you really want to pay taxes to jail someone who didn't harm anyone? Ironically, his actions actually saved MS some bandwidth.
Sprint's mini-tower tech is outdated. Why put a mini-cell in your home when you already have Internet and can put WiFi? T-mobile phones support WiFi calling -- no need for extra hardware.
The problem is on multiple levels, actually. Unjust laws would essentially be void without people willing to work to convict people of violating them (judges, juries, DAs). They'd also be void if no one was willing to enforce them (cops, jailers). Thus, virtually everyone working for the court or enforcement system is part of the problem, whether they use the "just following orders" excuse or not.
Scenario 2 is correct -- the US "justice" system is fundamentally broken. It's designed to punish people who don't kowtow to prostitutors' and judges' whims, refuse a plea bargain, and exercise their right to a trial.
Any country that jails almost 1% of its population at a given time is fundamentally broken and deserves to collapse.
What's the appropriate sentence here? Maybe some community service. Say teaching kids how to fix things. He didn't provide anything that M$ didn't provide for free, for download on their Web site. If anything, he saved MS some money by reducing the load on their download servers. His only "crime" was re-printing MS and Dell logos.
I'm saying that having Internet only + air TV gives you more choices than cable did in 2000. Netflix + over-air HDTV + Amazon Video + Youtube. Who needs more unless you're a rabid sportsball fan?
People are dropping the TV part of cable because it doesn't offer much over just having an antenna and a good Internet connection.
I don't see major privacy implications. You can easily put a throwaway email address and a fake mailing address in your contact info, especially if you pay for the domain with a prepaid debit card. No one really cares.
WHOIS is mainly good for the domain owner because: (1) Someone can contact them if they get hacked and the domain is being used for unsavory purposes like spam or phishing. (2) People offering to buy the domain can contact them. If you don't want the offer, don't reply.
Clinton was problematic in her own way -- I wasn't rooting for her either. I think the ideal outcome of the 2016 election would have been if both candidates needed to withdraw for age/stress/health reasons before the final vote.
Your argument amounted to "I don't want nobody to tell me wut to do, I'll drive my 5 mpg truck if I want to." Do you have a more cogent argument, or do you want to drive a 5 mpg truck just to be contrary?
Let other countries march in. If they want to spend their blood and treasure in the mess that's the present-day Middle East, better them than us.
As far as Afghanistan, it was better off as a Soviet puppet state than as a fundamentalist hellhole created with US training and Saudi money. We'd have been better off if we'd have let the Soviets win in the 80s.
If electric cars were popular, your condo's board would likely have charging stations installed. Maybe even with a subsidy from the power company, who'd love to sell more power.
Exactly. Coal (other than burning it in power plants or large factories) went away because using it was a cast-iron b!tch. All romance and nostalgia aside, it's a hell of a lot nicer to drive an electric or diesel train than a steam engine. Imagine being the poor guy who's shoveling coal into a locomotive boiler in 90-degree heat, where the temperature in the cab is likely closer to 130-140 degrees. And unlike natural gas boilers or diesel engines, coal boilers need to be cleaned of ash and caked on coal soot regularly. Care to volunteer for that job?
But it's quicker to refill. Pump it into a tank or replace the tank. Also, hydrogen can be electrolyzed from water using any form of energy. Hydro power, solar, even nuclear.
White phosphorus actually is worse than napalm -- burns the skin, keeps burning even when "put out", and often kills people slowly from phosphorus poisoning.
Fine -- as long as you're willing to pay the full cost of the US military's homicide campaigns to protect US oil interests. Time to fully fund oil wars using fuel taxes. If you buy it, you pay for it.
Agreed about saving oil for plastics and petrochemicals. Hydrogen fuel cells look good on paper, but they have other issues -- like storing hydrogen and the fact they need expensive metals like platinum.

Unlimited minutes, just call back, no big deal. Besides, if you're "roaming" on WiFi, you're probably staying on one network.

Caffeine? You mean Cocaina...
No.

I was born in the US. I have a right to criticize the government there, as well as the miltary. Now go fuck off, guy.

Can't win an argument, resort to threats? Threats are easy, arguing is hard.

The majority of Americans don't live in the rural US. Infernal combustion cars aren't going anywhere for the 10% of truly rural population.
