These fucking muzzies never intend anything. Their story is "look what you made me do". "You made a nasty film that made me feel bad, that MADE me kill you". "You drew a cartoon, that made us riot". "You said Muslims are violent, we'll have to kill you". In muslim countries its even worse "you shown a cross in public, that made us beat you up". It is self admission that islam takes away their human decency. When someone becomes a muslim they truly revert. Revert to barbarous savagery that is.
I hope they included some type of offset/tarrif scheme to the charging stations (or at least suggested it, unfortunately the news article didn't really illude) - as we get more and more EVs and charging points, you're eventually going to get to the point where everyone comes home from work and plugs their EV in. That's going to place a tremendous strain on the local electricity grid as EV's suck up a lot of power, especially if you're doing fast charges!
My guess is that most people will use a "night rate" meter and charge it at night when electricity is cheaper. Of course if this means that there is no longer a surplus from the base generation capacity it will no longer be cheaper.
So, your commute was about a mile and a half each way? Would you even bother driving that kind of distance?
In parts of the world there is no alternative. I remember seeing a nice restaurant across a highway from a hotel in Texas once, and after wandering around for a bit I realised the only way to get to t was to get in the car, drive half a mile to an exit with a loop under, then drive back again.
Or we came out here as we could not afford family-sized city-based accommodation...
Not in my case, but for many, rural is the cheapest way to live...
Not unless you are talking about teleworking or really long commutes, the hour and a sub half distance from big cities (in the South East at least) is more expensive than the "outer city". Of course the expensive properties right in the centre (£50,000 a year rent plus) are only available to either the very rich or the scroungers on the dole, via housing benefit. (Whet a stupid country it is when we working people commute for hours to pay tax that goes to work-shy chavs who live in the city).
I think you missed the point and your argument has nothing to do with my post.
OP was asserting that nothing is uneconomic if someone want's it really bad. And if it IS uneconomic then it's just that they were pretending to want it.
I disagree, there are cases where the customer may want it, but cannot afford to pay for the $60,000 to cover the necessary enterprise grade networking equipment.
There are a lot of things I want but cannot afford to pay. Will the government build me a swimming pool and buy me a porche?
If there is a real benefit to having rural broadband, the customers will make it pay. If it is uneconomic, it means that people don't really want it as much as they pretend to.
Now what with all of this government meddling?
Unfortunately the actions of the telecom company has made it unattractive to club together and get broadband. Where villages have clubbed together to buy a leased line and set up an area wifi, BT has installed a faster line than they ordered and then offers internet in the village itself. In other words people have paid a few hundred pounds each and signed up to a share of a community line at a cost which is now greater than BT's internet - because they paid for a line to be installed.
At a time when austerity is the word of the day and cuts are being made all over the place, I wonder whether "superfast broadband" in rural areas is the best way to use limited resources. Presumably, people choose to live in rural areas because they derive benefits from that (clear air, outdoors, less crime, community, etc.). Good for them! But why should city dwellers subsidize their rural lifestyle? If you choose to live in a rural area with low population density, you have to accept that perhaps your internet connexion will not be as fast as if you lived in bustling city.
Ah... but a lot of the people buying big houses in the country are Conservative MPs, the ones who decide what your money should be spent on.
Yes, it's small. You people seriously overestimate the size and importance of your cold, little island.
Small is relative. Its long and thin, Lands End to John O' Groats (one end to the other) is about the same distance as New York to Chicago. Parts of the highlands are very remote and sparsely populated.
That is a ridiculous jump. Even if that was true, you are saying there are only two paths: NFL or poverty/incarceration. Taking away one would force the person down the other.
What a great answer to those campaigning to end poverty. "But this will force people into professional football"!
The original report is here. The relevant paragraph says:
It is interesting to note that Web sites hosting adult/pornographic content are not in the top five, but ranked tenth. The
full list can be seen in figure 16.
Moreover, religious and ideological sites were found to have
triple the average number of threats per infected site than
adult/pornographic sites. We hypothesize that this is because
pornographic website owners already make money from the
internet and, as a result, have a vested interest in keeping their
sites malware-free – it’s not good for repeat business.
Figure 16, interestingly, does not show religious and ideological sites, I assume it is grouped with "Education/Reference". The full top 10 is
From the sound of things, all GPLed libraries are now viewed like LGPLed libraries (er, or more accurately, non-modified combining is OK) in Europe... Not that that is a bad thing....
That is very insightful (sorry no mod points), I had not considered the impact on open source. I think it is limited though to the ability to reverse engineer libraries that are part of the standard runtime environment for a programming language. Someone couldn't use the actual libraries that came with a GPL'd language in a commercial application, but they could rewrite them and produce a complete commercial implementation of the language.
Oh, that's why so many people are living on the streets in Germany and are known to storm an plunder supermarkets for food.
Absolutely correct, it is obviously functional. I expect that the GP meant it is not sustainable in the current economic climate - I have no idea if this is true. Many European countries are finding that their welfare systems are not sustainable but Germany is in a lot better situation than many other European countries.
90% of an advanced western country killed = collapse of civilisation.
90% of a Muslim country killed as an effect on striking the west = 90% become martyrs (and overtime at Allah's virgin factory)
Resulting chaos, lawlessness, tribes fighting for survival is the environment that cruel elitist beliefs like Islam excel in, this is why they try to overthrow any form of government
If they could do it I am sure they would. In teh aftermath you can be sure that they will be the ones prepared, rounding up the survivors and giving the "convert or be beheaded" ultimatum.
Is that they're typically a lot bigger and capable of carrying heavy loads.
Compare like with like, a Cesna with a car, a small passenger plane with a coach and a large one with a train. Then work out how far each of these could go if packed full of batteries. (this is also pointless but not relatively so compared to parent post)

What? Why do you say that? Online file storage being accessible way pre-dates Dropbox.
Inventing and innovating are not necessarily the same thing.
So what did dropbox innovate?
2002 I stopped using Microsoft. 2012 I stopped using Google.
2022 stopped using porn, started using viagra.
that's dumb.
Britons call it "the beeb" anyway, should we not call them the Bbc?
Well. you could always LASER anyone who comes onto your RADAR for using that practice.

Filed in New York by a single complainant, the class-action suit....
Surely if there is a single complainant then this should not be a class action suit?

The british mainland is 800 miles long (1000 miles if you include the shetland and scilly isles)
If we get to include the Shetlands and Scilly then should they have Hawaii and Alaska, giving them over 5000 miles as the crow files?
