I wonder if Microsoft is doing this for legal reasons. If the go far enough from the shore, they're in international waters, and are not subject to national laws anymore.
I live in Québec city and we're the lucky ones: Bell Canada decided to start their Fiber to the home program (Bell Fibe) in our town!
I paid 50$ for the install, the tech spend 4 hours installing the fiber in my apartment and told me that it once took him 8 hours to do the install in an old house.
Now I have 50/50 Internet (50 Mbps downlink, 50 Mbps uplink with a 250 GB/month cap) for 63$ per month and I'm really enjoying it!
Granted, it's part of a bitter turf war with the cable provider (Videotron) but that's another example of competition being good for the consumers!
In a lot of the intersections, there were no green arrows so in some places the only way for people to get across the street was to run a red light. And not just one person would run the light, but four or five.
I spent some time in LA last year and it was still like that. I remember the first time the light turned red when I was waiting to turn left, drivers on the other side of the street waved at me to go on the red light. It's really counterintuitive at first but it makes a lot of sense after a few times.
It's just important not to continue doing this outside LA.
Well, files put in DropBox are available on their website; it's pretty obvious that they can decrypt them.
The encryption part is about the SSL connection between my client and the dropbox server, me thinks.
I tried using truecrypt with dropbox, but I wasn't able to open a truecrypt volume on windows that had been created on Mac (and vice versa). Is it me who screwed up something or is it a limitation of the software?
I once wanted to write a perl script that would go to my ex's facebook profile and email me when something was posted or she commented something.
But I was too lazy to write the darn script so I decided to meet new people...
In Québec we have them pretty much everywhere too. Sometimes when the snow is just the right consistency and falls in the right direction, it sticks to the traffic lights lenses, obscuring them. In the past, the heat generated by the incandescent bulbs would melt the snow, but the new LED lights don't produce enough heat. A city worker has to remove the snow with a kind of small broom attached to a long pole.
We had this problem a few months back at work. Old but necessary asp web sites kept getting infected. It only took a few hours to install a reverse proxy with mod_security on EC2 and we were in the clear.
how they will visually identify the stolen property, call it in, and then leave and expect it to just stay there until they get back with more badges.
I guess that they actually waited to get a warrant for entering the property. The only evidence that they had was that some dude said that the controller was his, that's not enough to make probable cause, IMO.
It doesn't show max bandwidth, but I'd expect Amazon to have some fat connectivity, though I'd want a CIR (Committed Information Rate, or guaranteed minimum rate) for any real pro application.
They don't have a CIR, but I remember reading in the docs that they have 250 Mbps per virtual machine.
So while Amazon looks interesting, I think I'll keep my existing hosting company, which is anywhere from 2-6x as cheap as Amazon's new, relatively untested service, with potential competition from Amazon's own services.
It's true that Amazon is more expensive than a dedicated server, but the idea is that it's elastic: you could run 3 servers during peak time (let's says 4 hours per day) then scale down to one the rest of the day. This is cheaper than 3 dedicated servers.
Hello and 'can you hear me' are the first two phrases that people learn when learning a new language. I remember the days when it was "I'll have another drink please" and "where is the bathroom", followed closely by "what's your sign?"
Hey, I only know two sentences in swedish:
Du har vakra ögon Vil du älska med mej?
I'll let the scandinavian folks translate that (and find the dozen spelling mistakes I must have made...)
One of the reasons (but not the entire reason) Canada does not "have to" is because the US does. Canada benefits from the US umbrella.
Exactly! I would even go further and say that Canada benefits from the NATO umbrella. Any country that attacks Canada would get a declaration of war from every NATO country (USA, UK, FR, DE, etc.).

Apparently it does face recognition in 3D, so a simple picture would not work.
160 TB of RAM ought to be enough for anybody

Also, how can plug-design speed up charge time 24 times?
More voltage, more amps?

Ha yes, the good old future past tense. I will liked it a lot!

Lots and lots of torrents from the empornium.
I'll DL and have a look!
In SoCal, we have LED traffic lights everywhere.

Two steps forward, one step back...

Well, it's the verb to rape (violer) at the third person of the simple past. A bit far fetched, but technically right...

The thing that drives me nuts with YouTube is their fixed movie radio (4:3).
:-(
There's so much good content in 16:9 but encoded in 4:3 by YouTube.
When I watch full screen on my 16:9 monitor, I have 1.5" of black bars all around the movie.
YouTube gurus, please fix that!

Terrorism is another story though...
Yep, taxing taxes, now that's a distinct society!
