Hardly sparse. Most of the country is all but vacant. About 90% (And almost all of that 10% is a few large northern cities, particularly Edmonton) of the population lives within 160km of the US-Canada border, giving us an actual population density of about 20 people/square kilometre.
Intel and AMD are the only games in town for current desktop chipsets, as all the other competitors have dropped out. VIA, gone, SiS, gone (and good riddance), Acer Labs, gone, Nvidia, gone.
It makes plenty of sense not to cut out half the companies in the market, even if that same company also competes with you.
That local telephone company was initially known as Southwestern Bell. They renamed to SBC in 1995, acquired SNET and Pacific Telesis (both formerly parts of the old AT&T) in 1998, acquired Ameritech (A merger of Michigan Bell, Indiana Bell, Illinois Bell, Ohio Bell, and Wisconsin Bell) in 1999, acquired AT&T in 2005, then AT&T Wireless (Which was separated from AT&T in 2001, and renamed to cingular in 2004) in 2006, and renamed itself as at&t (note the lowecase).
The new at&t is the majority of the old AT&T, with the remainder making up Verizon (Formed from NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, Worldcom, Contel, Vodafone, and Primeco) and Qwest (Formed from Northwestern Bell, Pacific Northwest Bell, and Mountain Bell).
"800 kilometers" wouldn't be a problem, as you can jig the timing of the syllables to match, but having to say 1600 rather than 1000 would wreck things.
Any android devices based on TI's OMAP system can be rigged to hardware decode webm. And that's quite a lot of devices. Practically everything Motorola makes uses it, along with Samsung, Archos, RIM's playbook, etc.
None of the above. This is already done all the time. Dissolving bauxite in sodium hydroxide is the first step in the standard method for refining aluminum.
disposal of the waste (tetrahydroxoaluminate) would be "sell it to the smelters". This is the first step of the Bayer process for refining aluminum from bauxite.
The massive amount of energy is in the smelting. This doesn't require refined aluminum. What they're doing here is basically step 1 in the Bayer process for refining aluminum from bauxite. Just take the "waste" (tetrahydroxoaluminate) from this, crystallize it, and bake at 1050C to get Aluminum oxide.
The "waste" is tetrahydroxoaluminate, which is the second phase in refining alunimum from bauxite. From there, you recrystallize it, then heat it up to convert it into Aluminium oxide and water, then you smelt it (this is the part that requires epic amounts of power).
Winphone 7 does IPv6. I remember as there was issues with their implementation of fetching AAAA records causing problems on IPv4 networks with badly configured DNS servers.
ipv6 transition I fear is going to be massively disruptive over a period of at least 2 years and it is going to cost us all alot of money
And NATing everything is not going to be disruptive and cost a lot of money?
Large scale NAT is a stopgap measure. It will simply delay exhaustion a few more years, maybe a decade. It is not a viable long term solution. Then once we're totally out of IPv4 space, we'll need to implement IPv6 or something similar anyway.
NAT or no NAT, IPv4 is no longer viable for widespread use.
Said service already exists. A Point-of-sale company I used to work for worked with a company called avalara which did this sort of sales tax stuff. I would bet there are several others in this market.
There's already companies that deal with this stuff for you, such as Avalara. I used to work for a company that made point-of-sale software who worked with them. Nice slick system. They'll even deal with the paperwork for you.
When I worked for the provincial government, 2 systems were run on VAXes running openVMS and they upgraded one to a new Alphaserver while I was there. Not the prettiest system, but damn they were reliable. The only thing they had with better uptime was the z-series mainframe.

Compaq is a brand of HP since 2002.
Mine (HP TX2512) was $1000 two and some years ago.
OTOH, it was an HP (ATI graphics though) and has issues due various stupid design decisions.

Here's a picture to illustrate all this.

Thomas was appointed by the previous Bush.
Of course they wouldn't. This is Sony. They have their own non-ASCII, non-unicode, propitiatory format for storing text.
Nope, only California has a vexatious litigant law.

Car? You sure it's not a cruise ship?

Wouldn't the non-compete include pay for the duration? If not, why would anyone EVER sign one of these?
Of course not. This is the USA, not some socialist hellhole like Germany.
As for the second question, because it is near-impossible to get a technology-related job that doesn't require one.

We already have that. It's called capsule endoscopy and it has been in use since 2001.
It's just that it's more expensive than traditional endoscopy so it isn't widely used yet, except in cases where traditional methods can't reach.
