I do not count only security. I look at door to door time. Getting to the airport. 1 hour. Getting to the plane. 1 hour. Flying time...Getting to the destination city from the plane1 hour.
So every trip I need to add 3 hours going and back. I also need to understand that flights are not there every hour. So that will ad lost time.
OTOH when I go by train, I might need to change trains. So it depends on my destination if the train is better or the plane. This is a good thing, because it creates competition.
I am able to fly to many cities in Europe for under 100EUR. (Yes, I can fly back for that price) I am able to be very fast in Amsterdam, Paris, London and many other places by train. By that I mean that I can go in the morning and get back in the evening and so no need to pay for a hotel. Or I leave after work, have dinner in London, sleep in a Hotel, have a whole day in London and get back the next day. That would not be possible by plane.
If you sell them as a musician, you will also need a box and inlay. Next you should also include printing, packaging and posting and the time it takes.
Or http://bandcamp.com/ That said, some people still want a physical thing and Bandcamp will allow you to sell anything next to the digital download. This can be records, Special CD versions and what not. However these items will most likely be more expensive and can be look at more as collecters items. At low enough sales, they can be made individually. When volume picks up, production prices will drop.
Which is why if you do accidentally download something like that, you must clear your cache, empty the recycle bin and repeatedly overwrite all the free space on your disk.
No, you shouldn't. The law should adapt and know that it is clearly not possession if that happens. The law must be there for the people. The people are not there for the law. Because what if I send you a nice wallpaper of a green hill and use steganography to put an image of childporn in it?
If a person signs a contract...they shouldn't be held to that contract?
So what if the person does not want to be in a contract anymore for whatever reason, should they not be allowed to cancel said contract? Same for the company.
Basically what they do is end the contract and offer you a new contract that you then can decide to take or not.
In Europe when you sign a contract, the first period will be 1 year. After that it becomes a month to month contract that you can cancel, unless you decide to sign a new one year contract for whatever reason.
The cancel will be done by the customer most of the time, but it can also be done by the company. Most of the times this will involved informing the customer about the change. This can be ANY change in contract. Then let the customer ample time to cancel without question or cost.
I have seen changes where service was extended. e.g. doubling the data and call minutes on a service. They still needed to inform the cutomer that there was a significant change in the contract and that they where allowed to cancel without any question or cost if they so desired.
Obviously you would have to be an idiot to cancel, but still. Change in contract allows you to cancel. Same for the customer who wants to cancel.
And it being a pure money grab. Sure it is, just like it was a moneygrab for the customers who took the service. Besides the one who took it because he liked the name, people took it because it was the best financial decision for them.
First they came for the manufacturing jobs, but I did not say anything, because... OTOH many people keep saying that Capitalism will sort it out. Hint: it won't.
Due to reasons I was offline mostly for three weeks and it seems that/. is empty. Articles with low double digit number of replies. Never seen numbers that low.

Ease of installation. It saves time not selection and unselecting all the packages. If you won't forget anything, you will waste a lot of time. Why do the work a second time if somebody already has done it?
There will be people who will use Debian and make something identical or similar, but most people nowadays are not hobbyists tinkering with their OS, not that there is anything wrong with that. Most will want to install and start working with their system, not for their system.
See where I used lead paint as an example? Can you buy kids toys with lead in them? Because China makes them.
And yes, if the companies ask to produce secure items, the Chinese would be happy to add it. You pay, they produce what you tell them to produce. The do not (yet) develop. They produce. So it is up to the American (and other) companies to develop the systems to be safe.
If two dickheads can do it, the problem is not the dickheads. If there are things that are dangerous, you see to it that they are not dangerous any more. You force companies to deal with safety. You say they are not allowed to put lead in their paint. You tell them to put safety belts in their cars. You see that they put safety measures in online devices.
Instead you allow the agency that has knowledge of problems to not solve the issue they find, but instead keep them hidden and not care if others use them,
The issue IS the guys funded at state level. They are called the NSA. And they ARE involved. And they wouldn't want it any other way. Killing two dickheads does not change that. Killing all the dickheads does not change that.
So yes, it DOES sound outrageous, because they are just dickheads. Get the frogs that allow this to happen. They are HAPPY if all you do is kill of some dickheads, because that means they can keep doing whjat they have been doing all along, they that they can fuck up up the economy, crippling emergency services and police response, interfering with hospitals, and hampering commerce in general. It will just not be their countries, but the others country, which ever that may be.
I can only imagine that this is due to the subsidized solar energy that drove the demand for the first installers and that drove down the price sooner than it would have without it.
The thing is obviously how much time was gained by it. Was it months, years or decades?
And by subsidized I mean not only in the US, but all over the world. If you see the solar fields in e.g. Northern Germany that is at the same height as Winipeg, Canada, so all of the US could easily use solar. Yes, it will be less efficient in the north as it will be in the south. Does not mean it can't be used at all.
What if they are used as a music server? And just because you are not vulnerable does not mean you can just ignore it. Becquse YOU will be getting the spam send to your server costing you electrcity and time and efford and some will get through.
Their business is not an asset light setup. Their business is to cut out the middle man by any means possible and illegal if it is do required. Also to undercut prices by any means possible, illegal if it is required. First let's ignore the laws concerning the taxi business, by saying we are not a taxi business so they do not need to pay the cost of running a taxi business. Second let's ignore the laws concerning employment by saying the people are not employers so they do not need to pay the cost of having employees. Third let's ignore the law on the road by, uh, pretending is overrated, uh, by just ignoring the law, because now we have enough money to say fuck the law.
This is what you get if you are not strict with the enforcement of the law. Walk around with a joint? You get into prison for life if it is the third time. Walk around ignore the law as a CEO with your company. Naughty boy, but there is not much we will do because you are the cornerstone of our society.
I live in Europe. I work in the financial sector. Please explain to me how Europe is limiting cash transactions. I see no restrictions from (political) Europe that limits cash transactions. There are countries (not enough) that have banned the 1 and 2 cent coins. Finland and The Netherlands. I hope they do it here as well as they are terrible to use.
The only thing that could come close is that in Europe we don't use checks anymore. I can just transfer money from my account to anybody in Europe at no cost. I can do that automatically or I can allow the company to deduct my bill automatically. And yes, there is safety in place that if somebody deducts money from your account you can get it back. So much easier to follow as a customer. So much easier to handle things as a company. Handeling money also costs money.
And let's be honest. We have given up on our privacy a long time ago. We hand over where we are and what we do to Google and Apple. Sure, some individuals will not be accounted for, but that is irrelevant. The only way to solve this is to have the following in place AND ENFORCED! - No personal data may be bought or sold - Security of the data should be a standard - Data mining should not be allowed, unless the personal data is removed - Governement can ONLY have access if they have a valid judge telling them it is ok and only for one person at a time....
The U.S.has the second largest installed wind capacity - nearly all of it onshore
First of all: to me there is no difference between a windfarm on land and one at sea, other than the obvious reasons that are about the price of placement. So even if the US is the second largest in the world with installed wind capacity, what should be of importance is the percentage of used energy. The US is one of the highest users of energy, so being the second largest means little by itself. They could be second or place 200 when it comes to what percentage of the total used amound is actually wind generated. I am sure it will still be impressive, but just saying you are number 2 is not good enough.
My guess would be that they intended to do whatever they where intended to do anyway, so regardless if Trump or Hillary or even Sanders would have become president, they would have done the same thing.

At low volumes this adds up.

Luclily I live in a country that believe in innocent until proven guilty and to protect that innocence and does not make mug shots public.
Yes. Can you please search what these words mean if they are not enforced. I believe you should use 'hollow' in your search.
No, you shouldn't. The law should adapt and know that it is clearly not possession if that happens. The law must be there for the people. The people are not there for the law.
Because what if I send you a nice wallpaper of a green hill and use steganography to put an image of childporn in it?
So I send you 200AUS and you send me 200USD? Nice
FYI 200USD is 272.44AUS
200AUS is 146.82USD
I am sure others will find better ones that are $ when used.
