Catholics gave up crusading a few centuries ago. Islam seems to be getting into that "phase" now, which makes sense to me, as Islam started several centuries later.
No idea. That's why I was wanting to find a map, but I can't anything useful for the US. Some lovely maps of Europe's backbone network, and a decent map of Telus' lines across Canada, but I can't find a decent map of the US infrastructure.
Comcast may own the cables, but AFAIK, they don't own any backbone infrastructure.
Level3 is the name of a Tier 1 provider. And I really think they should come up with a less confusing name.
Also, I think Comcast may use AT&T backbone in some areas, though I can't seem to find a decently up-to-date map of who owns what areas of backbone in the US.
Similar language also appears in article 1, section 8, where powers are being delegated.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Though the phrasing is pretty damn vague IMO and that could be interpreted in a bunch of different ways, such as to provide for the welfare of the country in of itself, but not for the people of the country (though I fail to see how the two could be reasonably separated).
More relevant question : Is that better than the alternative of having it put in the hands of a corporate "thundering herd of dumbass" that is pretty much required to turn an ever-increasing profit via whatever means necessary?
Bottom line: ANY kind of "health care" (in the context we're discussing it, of course) at the Federal level is unconstitutional, and therefore illegal.
The item "promote the general Welfare" in the preamble should allow for that. The health of the general population definitely qualifies as "the general welfare", IMO.
Then again, I'm Canadian, so take my opinion for what you will.
By that logic, all rights are fundamentally self-contradictory. By providing a right to your own property, you would necessarily deprive all of that right by making them pay (via taxes) for the means of providing that right (laws, police, courts, etc.).
I think the point is despite how low approval is for the government, the approval for insurance companies is even lower, as unless you're independently wealthy, you're going to be using a health insurance company.
Because Sprint isn't merely unplugging things. they're actively blackholing (redirecting all traffic to nowhere) Cogent, which sabotages automatic route-around-damage systems, as it makes it seem like the data is being passed successfully.
UUCP allows you to pretty much manually route around by explicitly defining the path (a bangpath). Thanks to the wonderful redundancy of the internet, there is pretty much always a usable path between any 2 points, though said path may be ridiculously non-optimal, like going from Chicago to New York via Paris, Berlin, and Moscow, and thus likely won't get routed through automatically.
In general, it seems that anything reliant on throughput doesn't really care about FDE. It will take up some CPU time, but the system is already so limited by the physical disk itself, the difference is minimal.
But if the workload is heavily based on lots of small transfers, the FDE en/decrypt adds quite a bit of latency and can cause very significant performance loss. If the drive takes 5ms to seek for data, then another 5ms* for the data to be decrypted, and you're doing this dozens of times per second, you're looking at a 50% performance cut, in addition to the CPU time used.
In general, pretty much everything most people use a computer for falls into the first category and they're not going to notice a difference, but in the latter case, the performance loss can be utterly deviating.
Obviously, the only way to figure out which case this guy falls into is to test.
*number being pulled out of the air, though I'm pretty sure this is a decent ballpark figure.
Likely stuff like timers or cell phones. I don't think they have any real shortage of explosives, but the electronics to make the bomb explode when you want it to may be in shorter supply.
That's the general idea, but the likelihood of the rover surviving the extreme cold is low. Cold causes stuff to contract, and that can result in things like lenses cracking, circuit traces breaking, solder joints cracking, ICs becoming separated from the PCBs, etc.
This little thing is in the Martian arctic, and it gets far colder there than it does anywhere on earth. The other pair of rovers that have been going for several years are much further south, near the equator, and they can get enough power to last the shorter and less cold winter easily.
You seem to imply the economy (and the world in general, for that matter) functions in a manner consistent with logic. Significant historical evidence implies that this is not the case in the short term, and the short term lasts plenty long enough to start a war.
Any person with even the slightest shred of decency can see that fining someone 10,000 times the value of an item they misappropriated is excessive.
<RIAAlogic> But they could have potentially uploaded it to billions of other people, so obviously the statutory penalties are not only justified, they're too far too low! </RIAAlogic>

Would you be able to cite a supreme court decision that supports your interpretation? As I am not managing to find one.
Are those US, Canadian, or European cents?

IIRC, Comcast gets their backbone connections from Level3.
Sounds more like EA is backpedaling rapidly.
Regional monopolies in the first case and a massive amount of sameness in the 2nd.
I think it's more a shock that MTV is playing music videos.
Excepting google and such, I doubt that the vast majority of servers would have such a geographically balanced workload.
Thanks for letting the rest of us know about that crossloop program. Should be quite useful for the various family members I act as tech support for.

which is why he said to encrypt swap.
Well, if you can get a credit card in my dog's name, it's not that big a leap. ;)

For what reason is it impossible to just use a firewall sans the NAT routing? Best of both worlds.
Though you raise a good point regarding the privacy concerns.
