With lower age groups there are a lot more bad eggs, however with older age groups the bad egg count seems to drop considerably and is usually made up of alcoholics/abusive drinkers. Just my $0.02
Just a wild guess here, but could it be that older age groups have fewer immature drunk drivers because most of them died young?
Don't use completely unrelated and/or made-up names for products and technologies.. It's not called microsoft "glbalf", it's microsoft "office".. hmm wonder what that does.
Yeah, "Office" is such an obvious and related name for what it does. Too bad I want a software to use at home. Guess I'll get "Microsoft Home" for that. Oh, and I play videogames too, and I would like to excel, so I better get that "Microsoft Excel" thing. I mean, the name says it all, it makes you excel. And when I want to access my email, should I use "Microsoft Access" or "Microsoft EMail" (ok, so they fixed that one with Vista's MS-Mail, but I don't have Vista...)?
Product naming, no matter the domain (be it software, cars, etc.) is more marketing-speak than logic. Get over it.
Business cases include costs. There are a lot of DPI applications that would make sense if the costs were low, but I don't think you will find a business case that will make any kind of economic sense.
ISPs will simply pass the cost on to the customer and it suddenly makes economic sense. People will get charged more to get a filtered access, and they won't switch providers (mostly because they have no option, but ISPs will claim that it's because people like it that way).
What prevents proxies from anonymizing the traffic and encrypting all the packets so all the ISP's know is that customer 234,235 is getting a bunch of stuff from some offshore site, stuff that's encrypted and could be just about anything?
Because encryption/decryption requires quite a lot of processing power. For sites with relatively low traffic (mom&pop online store) or companies with huge server farms (Google, Amazon and eBay), it doesn't matter much, but for public proxies managing a lot of traffic, encrypting it all is way beyond what a free service can offer.
I didn't know the routes and switches they own and maintain were public property, I was under the crazy impression they bought and upgraded their equipment for doing that sort of thing out of their own pockets.
All those "tubes", the physical wires that run across the whole country (heck, whole continent/world), do you really think AT&T owns the land everywhere they have a wire? It's all nice of them to buy routers and switches, but the physical space between every piece of their equipment does not belong to them.
but the point is that if you throw a hardrive to a friend, say containing 40gb of data and the throw takes 4 seconds, then you have just achieved 10gigabytes per second bandwidth wirelessly!
now if only we could throw faster!
Transfering data is one thing, but transfering it in a way that makes it usable is another. Sure you can achieve over 10 GB/s by throwing a hard drive to your friend, but if you want to transfer "live" data that your friend needs to use, you also need to factor in the time it takes for you to unplug your hard drive, the time it takes for you friend to plug the hard drive, and the time it takes for your friend's OS to mount the drive. That lowers the effective bandwidth considerably.
However, those extra costs are fixed, and we're seeing bigger and bigger hard drives, so simply throwing a 400 GB drive instead of a 40 GB drive would almost increase the bandwidth tenfold.
Personally, I would hate this. Civilization is (to my mind) a strategy game with a large-scale strategic focus and, furthermore, an open-ended strategy. That is, there are almost no "wrong moves."
Yesterday, I declared war on the Romans while understimating their military... trust me, there are "wrong moves".
Sure, but the PHBs have heard Steve Balmer calling OSS/GPL "a cancer". Imagine the BSA kicking down your door and busting you for all those illegal copies of Firefox.
Not only that, but we all know how viral the GPL is, everything that Firefox touches must become GPL too. Dare visit your company's website with Firefox, and you have to give away the whole source and content of the website. Visit your private intranet, and it's even worse...
X is not illegal You do X X becomes illegal Government can't prosecute you for having done X before it became illegal.
However, is X is not illegal, and you perform X routinely (every week, or every month). When X becomes illegal, Government doesn't have to prosecute you for having done X before, they'll just have to wait until you do it again. Sure, you *might* stop doing X once it becomes illegal, but that's only if you know it is.
In the real world, when the sine of an angle is mentioned, it is SUPPOSED to be radians. Every programming language I know accepts arguments for trig functions as radians.
While I agree with you, try this: Go around and ask every CEO, accountant and other-Excel-user what's the angle in the corner of the wall. See how many (or few) say it's 90 degrees, and how many even know it's PI/2.
I just don't buy it. A neutral internet would transfer just as many bits as a prioritized one.
What I don't get is, from what I understand, a tiered internet is only screwing America. AT&T can charge all they want for the last mile, but with more and more of the Internet being installed elsewhere (and I bet more will come if it gets tiered in America), and more and more users not in America, Europeans, Asians and Australians will get excellent connections to servers in Europe, Asia and Australia, while Americans will have a crappy connection to just about anywhere (although one could argue that's already the case).
Pass all the laws you want in America, you'll soon have to accept that the Internet is no longer a US-only network.
P.S. What sucks though is that Canada will probably get sucked into whatever crapiness the US gets
I have 4 WiiMotes and 1 nunchuck, not once have I had to use the nunchuck for multiplayer games. Perhaps RedSteel is the exception, but that game sucked (I own it and regret it).
The only reason that I bought a second nunchuck so far is to play Wii Sports Boxing... I indeed have yet to see another game using/requiring multiple nunchucks.
Eventually I learned to sleep through her alarm clock at 5:00am and after a while of getting good at it, my own...
Back when my wife had an earlier schedule than mine, I also learned to sleep through her alarm (and her 3 mandatory snoozes...), which also trained me to sleep through mine. I had developed a reflex to shut down my alarm in my sleep, without waking up. I have now moved my alarm clock (which is basically my Nintendo DS) far enough from my bed that I acually have to get up to shut it down. Although it did happen a couple of times that I somehow managed to get up, turn the alarm off, and get back to bed without waking up (!!!), it still ain't bad enough that I need oneofthese.
Because Ubisoft is a French company, and it prefered going to French Canada instead of Ontario or BC, which are basically just 2 extra states in the US?
Mine is near impossible to fire up...the best solution I found so far is to insert the cart, press down all the way, and then wedge a Game Boy Pocket (?!?!) in between, holding it all the way down. Press Power, then Reset.
The original playstation had widespread problems with heat. As in having to prop up the edges on books to let air circulate underneath. It was easy to tell when it was overheating, because video cut-scenes would stutter.
I bought a slim PS2 2 years ago, and making it slim means they removed many fans that would keep it cool. I still need to prop up the edges on books to let air circulate underneath, otherwise, an hour long gaming session is decorated with all sorts of fuzzy colors on screen.
Quite true. I've been asking the same question for over 20 years now.... since Linux is so inexpensive to purchase, why isn't it present on a higher percentage of desktops (what, about 1% or less ?) ?
Funny that you've been asking that question for over 20 years now, since Linux (the kernel) has only been released 16 years ago...
_AND_ you can't legally use KDE's functions, because KDE is GPLed.
Get your facts straight. The KDE lib is LGPL, not GPL. You can legally use KDE's functions in a commercial application. I discussed this a while ago on/.

Bah, pretty soon, borrowing a CD from your friend will be a crime. You'll be allowed a public defender then.
Because the bank has more money than you do, and therefore it is more powerful and plays by different rules.

Why yes. You are silly.
Well... isn't it?
Or you can simply get the info straight from the source at Trolltech.

Try "the word you are after", instead of the original "the words you are after". "cheques" is a single word, therefore, "word" needs to be singular.
Nice try though.
