According to Rogers, people who use that kind of bandwidth can only be evil pirates. According to my own traffic logs, I am a geek who really values offsite backups,
Saturday Delivery is only meaningful to people that work Monday through Friday and are impatient about getting their toys delivered to them quick and on their day off.
Not impatient, just they don't want to be inconvenienced into having to drive to the local UPS/FedEx shipping center to pick up a package that can't be safely delivered because they aren't home during normal delivery hours. That's a lot of people.
The only other possibility is that prices in the countryside explode to ridiculous levels to compensate for the lack of profit in these areas.
Or, instead of simply removing the monopoly protection, extend it to any participant who wants to meet the same terms. If City Mail wants to deliver mail to any part of the country, then they have to deliver mail to ALL parts of the country.
Hybrids were also twice as likely to have hit cyclists, at a rate of 0.6 percent versus 0.3 percent.
I think the evidence is clear on this one - the problem is that the hybrid drivers are green - green with envy that is. They are jealous the cyclists are even better for the environment than they are.
This isn't like working for the mob where you can take your chances turning the baddies over.
Of course it is. If anything, it's even more so because prosecuting a spy is a public affair and these agencies like to appear invulnerable so they have plenty of incentive to cut a deal with someone who voluntarily comes in. Play your cards right, you might even come out of the whole thing with a bonus.
I'm actually a little disheartened by the lack of legal torrent distribution. It's a great medium for getting your content out there, people!
A while back the absolutely fantastic NPR show This American Life would precede every podcast/mp3-edition with a plea for money to pay for their relatively gynormous bandwidth costs. I wrote to them suggesting they try out bittorrent and to Bram Cohen's company suggesting they use TAL to showcase the commercial benefits of bittorrent for legitimate distribution - win/win for everybody.
Alas nobody paid any attention to this joe random emailer, not even a cursory "thank you for your email."
US folks who spy for foreign countries tend to do it for the money
And oddly enough - not very much money at all. For example, the Walker article says he was one of only a handful who got over a million, yet even that is doubtful with the NY Times estimating it to be more like $350K. Looks like Ames didn't even make half a mill either. Its like these guys are playing high-stakes games but only getting chump-change for it. Maybe there is something to the idea that people in government don't know how to run a business...
Holy shit you are an angry little man. You are practically screaming. You have really cracked me up in this thread with your gift for complete self-unawareness.
PS - the reason I cited just one counter example is because you wrote that "the things he might be able to do by himself have long gone by the wayside," all it takes is one counter example to disprove that assertion. But if you can't actually write what you mean, I suggest reading politifact where they track the status of Obama's campaign promises on the front page - so far he's kept about 120 of them.
Back on the topic of this article: funny thing about pot.. if they were to legalize medical in MN I'd easily be able to get a card due to my migraines. The funny part is if I smoke when I have a migraine it actually makes the migraine worse. damn.
Wow - pot can have bad side-effects if used when it is not appropriate, just like getting botulism poisoning, imagine that!
The problem is that everyone would do the drugs, we'd get addicted,
Far from true - look at Portugal - they have effectively decriminalized all drugs, even the hard ones, for about a decade now. The result? Proportionally, more Americans have used cocaine than Portuguese have used marijuana.
The right to keep and bear arms is in the Constitution, the right to get drunk or high is not.
The constitution is a document which describes what the federal government is permitted to do - everything else is forbidden to the federal government.
If the only rights permitted to the people were those enumerated in the bill of rights, we would have practically no rights at all.
If it has to be "medicine" for "sick people" then so be it; eventually it'll be legal and commercialized.
During prohibition they had the same loophole - you could get a prescription for alcohol for medicinal purposes. Walgreens went from ~10 stores to ~400 stores during the decade of prohibition and it wasn't by selling milkshakes.
Is it possible that in 2010, there's a sign that our society might actually be growing up a little bit?
No, its just the economic downturn's effect on tax revenues is all. One of the major reasons prohibition finally came to an end too - in the decade or so prior to prohibition roughly 40% of the country's tax revenues were from the sale of alcohol.
Ever wonder why it took a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, but the feds can ban any old drug they feel like without even a vote of the legislative branch nowadays?
Have you tried botox? Seriously - botox works incredibly well for many people with migranes. It's not addictive, you only need a treatment every 2-3 months, maybe even less frequently. Dunno how much you pay for pain meds, what with copays and all, but 100% out of pocket, botox ought to be significantly less than $500 per treatment - a few years back it was in the ~$300 range if you shopped around. I've heard that it's become less popular for cosmetic uses (not really sure why, maybe fads change, maybe it's the economy) which might have brought prices down even further.
You mean where I quote your very own words and showed how by example how they aren't true? I guess I have then, thanks for admitting you were wrong, it takes a big man to do that.
angry little prick.
That's funny, you appear to be projecting. It doesn't take a big man to do that.
They're seriously comparing phones that lose signal with a standard grip to phones where hold the phone with both hands deliberately trying to cover the antenna and pretend the result is somehow meaningful?
Of course it is meaningful - by showing that you have to go extreme measures to get even a watered-down version of the effect on these other phones it means that Jobs was full of shit when he made that claim about other phones having similar problems.
Really, who cares? They photoshopped an image for aesthetic reasons, big deal.
Might as well just actors and a set then if asthetics are what count. PS - maybe they did, seems the metadata in the file says the image from 2001, not 2010.
Something funny going on with the numbers there. Raytheon's got ~75,000 employees, I'd swag that at least half are in MA, probably way more than that. Mass Gen's only got ~11,000 total (both numbers confirmed with wikipedia and various press releases). Maybe because Raytheon is technically a group of corps all named "Raytheon such-and-such" rather than a single company.

So that's what they are calling it now!

Don't you mean MS Exchange?
Still, its at least an order of magnitude too low for the risks they took. Maybe they just don't value their own lives all that highly.
Constructor should simply add a noise to the vehicules, something akin to an ICE motor runing noise.
Oh its going to be far worse than that. Think ringtones - for your car.

for example see Pioneer One.

Hey thanks, never heard of it before but I'm now seeding the first episode.
And to add my own current favorite free movie to the list, check out Sita Sings the Blues - a free animated movie that Roger Ebert practically gushed over. It's available in a bunch of different formats, I'm currently seeding the 4GB 1080p matroska edition myself.

So, wait... you're telling me that a poison that deadens nerves is 500 dollars??? Geez... The costs to kill yourself these days is crazy!!
Apparently you've never seen an anesthesiologist's bill. $500 is dirt cheap.
