Even Australia with our massive submarine cables is better.
I pay $49 for a measly 500gig. $10 more if I wanted unlimited. 12Mbit only due to DSL and distance from the exchange but that is unavoidable with any ISP in Australia.
Plus my mobile only costs $15/month on top of that with the same company.
You can't obstruct US justice when you aren't in the US.
And he is avoiding a legally unfavourable country. Many legit companies refuse to host in the US because doing so would break say EU privacy laws. E.g. A doctor in France couldn't store patient records in the US.
One reason why Amazon opened in Australia was because of the resistance of Australian businesses to offload their data overseas, especially the US.
What the hell. Games never locextures to the gpu directly from the hard drive. That's what your ram does. Most games would only require say 100mb of ram tops if the textures came direct from your disk.
If you have 12gig of ram THEN YOU ARE NOT SWAPPING. No swapping means you could disable virtual memory completely.
And what is this mystery I/O chip you are speaking of? The north bridge, and the south bridge or something else magical? If either the North or south bridges fail or over heat you've got a instant crash. Mind you I've never heard of either failing under load but fine when idle.
I still haven't heard a good argument why law abiding citizens need weapons to begin with. Total number of weapons in my (Australian) house? Hmm including kitchen knives? About 6. Knives that is. 7 if you want to include a bread knife.
If you need weapons to protect yourself, something else is quite badly wrong. Hunting is fine but you don't exactly need assault rifles for that.
Not that it is a bad thing. Its natural to want change from time to time. Just don't kid your self that there are practical reasons to re-paint your house a different colour.
That doesn't make any sense. If they were including Ethernet and TCP/IP then Skype must have the most efficient voice codec ever to transmit voice with 60 bytes. Remember it is 70 for silence but only 130 for voice.
Also how do you get 1kbit/s in the silence with 4 bytes per packet?
No Skype is definitely sending silence with 70 bytes.

Apparently it 'should be' illegal for me to watch a DVD on Linux.
God forbid a Bluray.
Who says you can't 'sell' it to Google too? They don't need to know it was you who sold it to botnet makers.
Lithium Ion batteries supply their own oxygen. They don't burn with the air which makes them impossible to put out.
Yeah but Windows 8 is for computers with 1080p or larger displays. It is still very curious.
Why don't you use X instead of VNC?
VNC sends small bitmaps over the connection. X sends draw commands.
Google's code that they have released seems pretty decent.
Thats all you need to be able to sign up to the military in the first place. :P
Mind you since many US politicians are ex-military it does explain an awful lot.....
Oh yes I know that. My point was that if a simple vulnerability scan takes out your critical systems, you are screwed.
No not most people, but this is Slashdot. He was answering the AC not talking about your grandmother.
The Windows command prompt is next to useless. That's why Microsoft made the Powershell to try and compensate.
A virus would just be statically linked. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_library
No issues with missing libraries and so on.
Thats how commercial software does it on Linux where you aren't allowed to recompile it to use newer libraries.
There are simply far more barriers for remote code to execute on Linux.
That is the primary security benefit.
Err...How does Valve make more profit from Linux vs Windows?
If a vulnerability scan crashes a system then there really is sloppy coding.
Anonymous could stop DDoS attacks and instead just run a couple of vulnerability scans to take down their opponents. So much easier!
Why is it horrendous? I doubt anyone complained about the flavor.

It's not unusual in religious countries. How long has the US tried to do the same?

Looks like a vibration motor actually?
Err assault rifles also includes semi-automatics.

Ok if you don't know what C is you are way out of your depth. Thats Physics 101.
That is a practical reason, just like if the paint is flaking off.
The GP's example was just changing the colour, not bringing in the valid practical reasons to repaint.
One word: Yes.
Not that it is a bad thing. Its natural to want change from time to time.
Just don't kid your self that there are practical reasons to re-paint your house a different colour.
*All Fundamentalists.
The Christian Fundamentalists have gotten their fair share too from Anonymous you know.
