People don't care about battery replacement and you can still do a hard reset on iDevices. A typical battery these days has a 5-10 year lifespan, by then your device is sorely obsoleted and most plans will have paid for a 'free' replacement twice over by then.
Someone has to assemble these computers and repair them, replace the hard drives etc.
With cloud you're paying overhead and profits on all of the things your IT guy has to do anyway. Your virtual host still needs hard drives and expansions and software updates. Swapping a hard drive once in a while is not a big deal.
Cloud is great if you only need very small quantities of something, perhaps for testing or a resource you only use once in a while. If your core business is dependent on it, unless you have a small company that can't afford a full time IT guy, you pretty much can host, colocate or rent your own stuff cheaper than an entire cloud stack.
a) The police typically has better things to do in a big city
b) These things are built for the sheer necessity to build them. They are required by some law or agency in pursuit of terrorism or tech jobs, then promptly underfunded and mismanaged resulting in becoming useless as a tool to the people who would be able to use them. The collection part works but then we have things like a few weeks ago where the police just can't manage to upgrade the 40GB hard drive that has the data.
c) These things are built and often forgotten due to (b) unusable interfaces and/or given to untrained units and/or given to units where a union prevents them from being used because they didn't cater to the blind cop behind the desk.
But then you would be able to 'see' that device on your list of devices or at least see the extra traffic. Additionally you can't just add an extra device to your list without entering a pin number or password which acts as access to your private key.
There is no way of hiding the extra device with such public key exchanges (your device needs to encrypt an extra message) and even when Apple can do that, someone will find out the functionality and then nobody will trust anything Apple ever says again.
You can't just backdoor something you release to the general public without risking your entire business.
The funny thing is that Altavista and a lot of other sites back then did all this (thousand-millions of hits per day) on a server with a few 100MB RAM and a few GB hard drives. These days, a million hits/day on a modern web stack (anything past static HTML and PHP/Perl) requires a beefy system or even more than a few systems.
Really? Google still has it's search page, perhaps you're referring to the banner up top? Atavist still has News, Weather and Trending Searches although it's a lot simpler than 2000's altavista.com: http://images.sixrevisions.com...
Once you have a good camera and setup hold onto it because you probably won't be able to afford a new one for the next decade and a half.
If you do have the money, invest it in a professional once in a while. Spend some good time with your kids instead of managing their pictures, technology will come that sorts it out for you, iPhoto is great for that or anything that sorts pictures based on GPS data. Just save it at least twice at home and twice off-site such as at a hard drive at your job and an online site or so. Sync everything once in a while.
Specifically, get a mobile phone with a decent camera system (iPhone is great) that syncs because you're not going to want to take the camera bag with two kids, a stroller, snacks, breast milk, a pack-n-play and the dog.
I think perhaps the op should've mentioned or at least meant pre-gulf war Iraq. The U.S. funded, trained and armed Iraqi citizens. They grouped into Al-Qaeda to fight of the invading Soviet oppressors and installed Hussein as the leader. In hindsight, they would've been better off being a Soviet vassal state like Poland.
Syria didn't have a problem with water until the oil dried up. The Middle East is trading water for oil and is fairly good at it. A decade ago the oil exports in Syria started tumbling and so followed it's food/water supply and then it's government as more pressure came from other groups to take the remaining oil fields.
Global warming is not a problem as long as you can afford fixing it (the Dutch have been submerged for over a century). But when people's livelihoods get threatened they'll take matters in their own hands.
Eventually more governments will be unable to afford water and subsequently defend it's resources; a decade later they'll also be ruled by warlords fighting over the scraps.
It's the public republican stance/platform that all science and technology should be defunded in favor of creationism and weapon-capable vehicles like the heavy rockets.
Since the government is ran by the republicans (and democrats that will vote whatever the republicans want to avoid a shutdown) it doesn't surprise me at all.
No conspiracy, just regular business. Wait until we get a republican in office, the first things on the chopping block are affordable health insurance, non-proliferation and other peace treaties and humane treatment of foreigners.
Not sure whether you're sarcastic or not but we are well on the path of exterminating ourselves, this is one of the things we can try in order to survive, eat and multiply even more.
The problem is that from an evolutionary perspective, you are probably leaving the 3% alive that have evolved a resistance. Those are most likely all very closely related to each other (from the same lineage that carries the resistance) so you are going to be inbreeding a lot more than is already the case, inbreeding causes more defects and thus lower life span.
Even when not flashing, the school zone speed limits apply as long as there is a sign that indicates a school zone, even in the middle of the night. Unless there is a qualifier that indicates hours, school zones apply at all times in a lot of states.
Those rules apply in most jurisdictions in the U.S. unless the zone specifically has different signage for it.
I even got a ticket once for going "too fast" (unspecified because 'traffic enforcement officer Donutbelly' didn't have a radar) in a school zone outside active school times.
You laugh, but in order to be a well-regarded "Muslim scholar" you actually have to believe the tenets of at least one of the several sects of Islam. Same goes for "Christian scholar" though, most of them are theologians with their own views on the literal-ness of the interpretation but they accept at least some of the tenets of Christianity.
Poettering will soon release a boot loader with systemd because GRUB and LILO are 'too difficult to use'. Instead you'll have to define the boot loader in an XML and then use/usr/sbin/bootloaderctl to load/unload it. However if your boot loader is not "vendor-defined" to on in your distribution, you'll have to manually load it every kernel upgrade.
The problem is the cost per item. This is more than just a subsidy, it's simply paying for getting the entire job done and if that were the case, why doesn't the government just contract that job out. These companies have gotten the same subsidies over and over again, even avoided taxes since the 90's for that exact promise.
There are a few facts: - Even in rural areas, people tend to cluster together, you can easily get 100 houses/living spaces in a small area - There is already fiber in lots of places with inhabitants due to regular phone lines or even DSL/ISDN (which even in rural areas no longer use switchboards or trunks, they are switched onto a packet line, generally fiber) and both lit and dark fiber strung in the past four decades. Even so, existing copper can in most cases easily maintain the speeds being requested. - Most DSL/ISDN lines can be easily upgraded with software and minor hardware to comply with these requests. - It is relatively cheap to tap a fiber from a pole even for a (very) long run. I once lived in such place, a 2.5 mile run from the nearest fiber on existing electric/phone poles would've cost me only $15k including installation, hardware and (I assume) profits for the installer and that was for a 1Gbps fiber. - Single houses in the middle of nowhere will still not get anything because the company will not find them profitable - These companies often only provide service 'to the pole' (not to the meter/modem/termination point as most people assume). Most/all utilities have this provision, even in a city, you might not notice unless you have to fix something (or if it's already buried) but when you do then you can go and climb the (live) pole yourself or hire someone to do it. The rest (a 20-200ft run depending on property layout) the customer still has to pay for during installation.
I doubt they bring in the cash on their persons. If this conspiracy theory were true, these people don't need the cash here in the US. Once you've got enough money in banks across the globe in a global bank (eg. HSBC) you can take out 'loans' against that money in other countries because your global 'net worth' is billions of dollars.
People like Mr. Trump and Mr. Gates have millions if not billions of dollars in debt which is neatly managed, repackaged and sold, yet they are 'worth' billions, not because they have the cash on hand but because they have 'investments' and 'holdings' and 'real estate'.
If someone tells you a rich/famous person's 'net worth' you can easily read "socialized debt".
If you go hiking for a few days at a time that is different than finding a campsite and putting an RV on it for a few days.
Say you have a vehicle (such as an RV, a van or even a 4-wheeler), then satellite internet is probably the cheapest and easiest route to go. You use an auxiliary battery and if it drains, you start the vehicle for a little bit. You could even outfit a van/RV to have a 'command center' with a good display, keyboard, mouse and everything else you need to work comfortably.
If you go hiking, then you're looking for a portable dish, receiver hardware, power, laptop etc. not to forget your own survival needs (several kg of water, food etc) things get heavy and I wouldn't recommend it unless you also take along an army platoon with a designated comms carrier.
High-power wifi from your camp site etc. is possible but may also be illegal unless you have the licenses to do so everywhere you go and even then reception won't be great if at all possible 30-60 min. into your hike (trees, hills etc absorb the signal greatly)

Manufacturing these days allows for such designs which improve them in many other ways such as energy usage, material usage and weight.
You can still fix those cars/devices, it's just a little harder, especially for the people used to the old 'bolt and ratchet' style.

You also solved overpopulation!

Speed limits were introduced to curb oil usage in the 70s. They've been a great source of income for jurisdictions since.
Those rules apply in most jurisdictions in the U.S. unless the zone specifically has different signage for it.

It's a little late for testing with several of these deployed in Europe. Seems more like a marketing/PR stunt.
