Remember that little incident at Kent State? Something about kids "burning pieces of paper they had found as litter"? And about police+military basically EXECUTING them on sight? Man I wish some liberating force, lets say from Soviet Union, invaded and eradicated those bad bad men, with drones or nukes. That would be grand, wouldnt it?
A download cap makes sense, because it distributes costs fairly. On other utilities (water, gas, electricity) you pay a connection fee and usage charges. If you don't have quotas then you experience the tragedy of the commons, where people download purely because they can, not because they need the content.
Having people download stuff is great because sooner or later they will want to download it faster and will pay you more for faster connection. Works both ways - Hosting companies will be able to offer more content and will be forced to pay for fatter pipes. Internal traffic that generates more money is godsend.
Even if the traffic doesn't leave an RSP's backbone (and the majority will) it still costs money to run that backbone.
? You have to pay elfs to carry packets on their backs? Backbone is ALREADY THERE. If you reach capacity you throttle while building more capacity. Its not in radio domain where you simply cant have more capacity.
Further a significant amount of content in Australia comes from overseas, via very long cables under the sea.
This is why Im talking about internal traffic.
Currently NBNCo are building a fibre network capable of 1Gbps, while predicting that in 2028 less than 3% will connect at that speed and close to 50% will connect at 12/1Mbps. What a waste.
why would you want more? to reach cap in 5 minutes instead of 30?
This is retarded. Someone coming from telecoms business had to work on NBN planning committee. They had a chance to build something great, but decided to settle on barely better than current offerings.
and realize there is download cap. As an European I dont even know what a download cap is. WHY would you put it on a national fiber network????? I could understand download cap on connections leaving NBN, but no. It counts all traffic. Something like streaming birthday party in HD Video for few of your neighbors living 100m away will result in reaching cap.
It is totally retarded to cap traffic that doesnt leave your own backbone.
"We dont have source code for the installer, we dont know whats in it ergo we are not breaking any licenses. Maybe theres a pot of gold inside, or a MALWARE and a botnet , we dont know, we dont care, we only distribute this binary lalalaa"
The interesting difference here is the barrier to entry: The Replicator 2 is a physical object. It needs a supply chain, and shipping arrangements, and a manufacturing base to fork it. (Instead of in pure software where the only thing besides the people you need is some web hosting.) So, it'll take others quite some time to set up a fork of reasonable size and quality, and a fair amount of money.
The funny thing is that a few weeks ago, someone tried to create a fork, but he got slashed pretty badly by the community and his Kickstarter campaign failed. I suppose this guy has a second chance now.

Should be interesting to watch the fallout of this.
Its a win for the prosecutor's record and saves the time of a jury trial. If Everyone charged with a crime opted for a jury the courts would be back logged for decades.
yeah, cant have justice for all, only for those who can afford it
It would be one thing if the Glasses were simply a camera, but it's more than that. It will be the first mass market wearable computer. Overlays will provide notifications in the form of navigation prompts, restuarant reviews, contact information, descriptions of art, and much more.
There is no overlay - there is only small rectangular display inside. No head tracking, no eye tracking, no augmented reality.
Secondly: Why the hell would another civilization, with superior technology to us want to help us at all?
Why the hell would a bunch of smart people try to help stupid and evil corporation by wrecking havoc inside its infrastructure and exposing all of its secrets?
Jokes aside, with all the recent patent trolling, we're beginning to forget that there are indeed genuine inventions on which a patent would be fully deserved. And this here is one of them.
Except genuine invention would be describing particular manufacturing method of said cable battery. NOT an idea of "battery in a shape of cable used to power _mobile_ device" as apple likes to do it.

of course they will let it pass, you just need to make up a fancy name for your company.
I TOTALLY get your point.

Yes, the very unique feature, its not like every single Fluke multimeter has protector with exact same shape (probably same material too).

All I got from that reply was :

Who would even buy a Kindle from WalMart ?
they would : http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/
ask NSA for help, they would love to (if they arent collecting it already)
How does Kickstarter handle fraud?
they tax it :)

Nah, EVE Online will let >2000 people on one node, it will slow down to a 10% real time tho :/

What sort of remediation can the site owners take on the DOJ?
Hire a cheap Spanish speaking hitman to silence ICE agent that oversaw whole case (Daniel Brazier?).
That doesn't really make it legal to detain you.
Corrupt cops are corrupt? True. Their corruption may be hard to prove? True. Their corruption is legal? False.
It doesnt have to be legal if its systematic, tolerated and goes unpunished.
NO! You cannot be detained in the U.S. just for not having ID. You are simply wrong.
You are so cute and naive. You can be detained for looking at a cop in a wrong way, or using camera in public.
As he should. There's a reason why treason is treated so seriously. Unfortunately, prosecutors don't intend to push for execution.
Execution for those chopper pilots shooting ambulance and rockets at children and then laughing on comms like they were playing CoD.
Not sure why the 'gizmag' photos-only link is offered when you can watch video of it over here.
The think actually springs a leak in the video. I'd like to see the longer version were it catches fire. :)
I thought you were joking, then I watched the clip :/
DayZ is responsible for more sales of Arma2 than Arma2.
You could say Arma2 is a pre-release beta of DayZ.
Except Arma2 PC game sales are a side business to Bohemia main one - supporting military training facilities.
OTOH, in a billion years we may have the technology to prolong the life of a star.
Someone might even find a way to reverse entropy.
