See, hacking government computers is illegal everywhere, recognized by a crime by two allies who have an extradition treaty with each other. "Blasphemy" isn't a crime in America, or most of the non-Muslim world. Pakistan is basically the world's Arkansas and no one takes them seriously. There is no moral or legal equivalent.

You probably also have other options available. Besides, fiber to the neighborhood and DSLAM out from the CO isn't the same thing as running DSL over the copper that's already in people's homes.
most of the people who don't live in an area where cable or other broadband is available already probably live way, way too far away from a telephone CO for signal attenuation not completely destroy any notion of broadband via DSL being usable.
When you factor in wide-scale devastation from failed 5-year plans and "great leaps forward" and all that crap, you come with something in the neighborhood of 100 million dead from their own Communist regimes. When over 30 million Chinese starve due to poor planning by Mao's government, that's still 30 million Chinese that died because of their government, even if they weren't shot.
Also, when you count up ever execution, every criminal or innocent person shot-on-entry by door-storming SWAT teams or even just regular cops in the line of duty, etc, etc., then I'm pretty sure we're way past the GP's claim being nonsense. Just saying.
It sounds like it's more related to this TED talk, rather than skipping over a "content provider's" "branding" to "steal" their "content". The model would likely require a more active sense of purpose towards participation and making the data available, rather than having stuff online and some random person linking to it without "permission"
I bought a 13" MacBook Pro back in November, after being hired for my current job, but while I was still at a hosting company. When I started here, I was provided with a new iMac. They are both basically expensive multiplexers for SSH and serial console stuff, though I also have to write documentation, including using this ScreenSteps program, which is pretty interesting. In the final review, while I do like MacOS X better than BSD or Linux on a laptop, there isn't really much local use I do that couldn't just as easily have been done on a PC running Windows for less money, and it pains me to say it.
Actually, the dev kit is free. It's only $100 to get the signing certificate to allow you to deploy to a device, rather than just run on the simulator. However, when you consider that in order to write for an Apple mobile device, you also have to have an Apple computer, you may as well factor in the cost of your macbook or imac or whatever in as part of the cost of the dev kit. Of course, if you already had the Mac anyway, then sure, the dev kit is free. But it's still a higher barrier to entry if you intend to move from another platform specifically with the intent of developing for the phone.
In the future all phones will be smart... really, really smart. Maybe they'll even be able to create clean water supplies, build sewage infrastructure, and terraform in-arable land into something productive so that people don't starve, either!
The article specifically mentions W's page, but doesn't seem to give any direction on where one might find a comprehensive list. I'd actually be kind of interested to see that.
From the business perspective, yes, sales is more important. It doesn't really matter if you make crap so long as people buy it. However, if you can't get people to buy your product, it doesn't matter if its the best in the world. Unless you're selling a service, in which case the people providing the service matter a whole lot more.
I think it has to do more with up-stream registration of the IP blocks. My office is in VA Beach, and we have fractional DS3 over Cavalier/Verizon, maintain our own border routers, announce our own routes over BGP, etc. All that good stuff. the other end of our leased line is in Norfolk, and that's where the/24 on that link was registered, so any time I visit a GeoIP-enabled site from the office, it claims I'm in Norfolk.
the aggregation point for Comcast in IL is probably in this Naperville place.
About the time I added "Brooks Brothers" to my 'interests' sections on Facebook and started getting Brooks Brothers ads on every website that I visited after that, is when I started to feel violated. Not sure why FB kept trying to sell me Jewish dating websites, when my profile clearly indicated that I was not Jewish... an Anglo-Norman name, 'Zen Buddhist' as my religion... seems like they missed the mark with that one. However, now I just run ABP and I don't ever have to see ads anymore either, and I took out nearly all the information from my FB profile. I'd just get rid of it if not for the fact it's my main method of keeping in contact with a lot of people I'm actually kind of fond of. It still feels very stalkerish.
using the internet to sell products is soooooooooooooooooo web 1.0! it's all about b.s. "services" that don't really create added value now. This is why I ditched my twitter account a couple of days ago after they updated the api use agreement for third-party clients to force urls through their own filters for statistic gathering. I'm quickly losing any reason to care about FB, too. It's been going down hill a lot faster lately. It was pretty useful when it was still colleges-only though.
As long as she's reasonably attractive, no one is going to care what computer she's using. In fact, even if she's not, I doubt anyone is going to care what computer or operating system she's using. Using Linux doesn't make someone the weird kid, there is just a disproportionate number of weird kids who flock to linux.
