I believe OSS firmwares like Tomato and DD-WRT enables you to throttle the guest SSID. Just make sure to buy a flashable router. Some of them definitely qualifies as consumer grade...
Kudos to CNet for promoting FOSS. Lots of good programs listed.
A link to http://theopendisc.com/ would've also been nice. More programs, more alternatives.
I'm not going to explain the logic difference between can't and won't. I assume you actually now the difference.
So, the fact that the Europeans can outcompete most other workers in terms of productivity, means that your "house of cards" only is true if they don't solve their demographic problems. Which they probably will, taken into consideration the survival instinct/intuition of any given person or society.
Old-school perceptions of how Europe works or doesn't work is not good enough. This is true for any given country/region. People don't stay the way they are "just because". Believe it or not, there is no good reason why any nationality has a better chance of succeeding than any other. Market logic applies to everyone, even Europeans:-)
Well, in terms of productivity, they could. And yes, they do choose not too, because they treasure their leasure time so much. This is not my personal meaning, this is what the numbers regarding productivity shows. Read some of the numbers regarding productivity before dismissing the argument, please.
The aging population is a problem, yes. But this has, so far, not any effect on the productivity of Europe. It will have, though, in the near future.
What you can or cant do with pigs and your butt is not something I can comment on. And even if I could, I don't see what this has to do with productivity in Europe vs the rest.....
People, people. Don't confuse income with productivity. 30 years ago the productivity gap between the US and the EU-15 was approximately 30%. Now its gone. Actually, Germany, France and the Benelux-countries are more productive than the US.
GDP have not increased equally because people in EU like leisure time. And as long as this is the way they want it, thats fine. But if, as parent suggests, things are going to get tough, there is no reason why EU-15 would not be able to outcompete most, if not all, other industrialised countries. All they have to do is to start working longer hours. Something that is already happening in for example Germany.
Running a half-breed Keynesianistic fiscal policy with enormous public spending, most countries can artificially push the unemployment rate down. The US has managed to do this without increasing the inflation, but it is just a question of time before inflation rises in the US as well.
United States of Ameriica has budget deficit at approximately 5.6% of GDP, and a foreign debt of ca. 2.7 trillion US$ (thats 7.5% of World GDP) If this doesn't show the interventionist policy of the government, I don't know what does.
Interpret it as you want. This is not what laissez-faire policy is about!
Agents involved in the case later downloaded data from the duo's computers, located in Chelyabinsk, Russia, over the Web. Two years after that, Russia filed charges against the FBI sleuths for hacking -- alleging the downloads were illegal.
Well, even if FBI is the law in the US, that doesn't make them entitled to break the law in any other country, does it? I mean, in most (!) countries not even the domestic police forces are allowed to break the law....
A break in is a break in, no matter who does it....
