Do you honestly believe that? Less than half the country votes in a presidential election, far fewer vote in congressional elections, and fewer still in primaries. Just how many do think would bother to vote in the other parties primary? Sure they will be some radical nut jobs willing to do this but not anywhere near enough to matter.
In some instances yes it can. Economies of scale. Price per unit tends to decrease as the number of units ordered increase.
ISP's need to/should have enough capacity to cover peak usage periods. If you have 10 customers on a line that all watch netflix in hd between 5pm and 10pm, then you need to have enough capacity to cover that time period.
Once that capacity is in place however it's available 24/7 regardless if anyone is using it or not. Therefore caps make no sense, unless you happen to be a content provider as well as an isp and are competing with netflix. Then a transfer cap would make sense to limit your customers use of netflix in favor of your service.
Because I'm sure he was careful and made certain his jammer was targeted only at the highway and not just a wide blanket jamming everything in its radius.
Hmm, to be honest I can't remember the last time I've even seen a 2 seater pickup truck. Old trucks with benchs had 3 seats, and most of the new trucks I see today are extended cabs with 2 seats in the rear. Granted to extra seats are jokes, but it's still a seat.
All this really tells you is that Titanfall isn't really a next gen title at all, which should be obvious as it was originally planned for the 360 to start with and will be released on it shortly. It runs about as well as your typical console to pc port, which is basically what it is, a xbox360 to xboxone port.
Except they aren't just talking about the big broadcast networks here. Content providers would also include, netflix, hulu, amazon, google, facebook, slashdot, the rest of the internet. And lets not forget that Comcast itself is a content provider.
The big push now is for ISP's to turn content providers into customers, using isp customers as assets. Allowing Comcast to get even larger would only help move this goal along. I for one don't want to see that happen do you?
Yeah and I bet most of the time people claim someone is cheating when they in fact aren't. The other player is simply better and they get frustrated and claim cheating. Happens all the time.
Sigh. Part of the reason goverments granted these isps the local monopoly was so that they didn't have 5 different companies all tearing up the streets and sidewalks, running cables everywhere.
Its the same reason we have regulated monopolies on water, sewer, and power companies.
I don't know about you but I certainly don't need 3 sepearte cable lines coming into my home.
Another reason was to ensure outlying areas were covered.
Take a look at a FIOS map and you have a pretty good idea where highspeed internet service would be today without the "evil government intervention."
Macho attitudes, put-downs, having to prove your tough enough to be part of the group. Sounds like the women are being treated just like everyone else.
I've yet to meet a sysadmin that wasn't a cocky asshole that didn't take great pleasure in pointing our your ignorance of some obscure topic.
There is a very big difference between a clueless consumer using a low power transmitter that doesn't have enough power to interfere with ATC, and someone buying a and setting up a Giant radio transmitter. For one thing most people wouldn't have a clue where to even purchase such equipment or how to set it up. So out goes that arguement.
I would also say that if you expect the average consumer to know enough to use encryption, then how can you let google off the hook for capturing all this unneeded data?
One would think a tech company would be smart enough to configure their equipment to only capture the info it needs and nothing more.
This is such BS. UNencrypted e-mail is not easily read by the lay person. You must have some technical skill to capture the data and then read it. It;s not as simple as finding a postcard on display.
Sigh. Why would/should the average consumer look at MPG from a developmental perspective when they have no influence whatsoever on it?
MPG measurement are fine for what the average consumer uses them for.
Well sure, but you're an actual Microsoft customer unlike the GP who is most likely a Dell, HP, Asus, ect customer looking for help with his desktop pc.
Slashdot Mirror
Streets and trips was an offline map product, it can be used long after its been retired, it just won't be updated anymore.
More likely is that the lightning connector on the phone is going to crap out that much faster.
All they really need to do is spend a little more money on the 3.5mm connector and there wouldn't be an issue.
Just look at all the people ticketed for not wearing their seat belt every year. You don't think they'd buy a car without one if it were available?
Hey at least he used more than one letter.

Yes because we as a people have decided it's not in societies best interest to allow another East India trading company.
Stop driving up the price of video cards you bastards!

There is always the Pirate bay store. Solves all of your above above problems.
The problem is that 4 out 5 cars on the road today with these super bright headlights and taillights were done with cheap aftermarket kits.
Cost.
RTFA? pff half the time I don't even RTFS, I just go straight to the comments.

Yup so instead of universal health care we end up with mandatory health insurance.
I guess this is really true.
