Yeah, not as accessible though. Most people don't know about filetype: , so the button is easier. Also, doesn't necessarily work for straight MPG or MP3's that you may be looking for, while Baidu does.
Huh, what?!? Who ever said anything about changing the lowest brackets so that they're greater than 0%?
Lots of tea partiers complain "Oh noes, X number of people pay no taxes! That's not right! That's unfair!"; that's not in dispute. The obvious followup action to that attitude is to change the bracket from 0% to something higher.
Because they want to extend the Bush tax cuts for the 250k+ crowd, while the opposition only wants to extend it for the >250k crowd. Also, they want to change the payments for the lowest bracket so they're greater than 0%.
We just need customer awareness. Customers will not accept weird corporate throttling when educated about it.
I agree. However, customer awareness only goes so far when there's a single broadband provider in many locations, and only two in the vast majority of the others.
See, customer awareness requires a free market in order to work properly as a deterrent. Without a free market, monopolies do whatever they want. That's why we need government to step in - to prevent abuses that would otherwise be without a method of remediation.
Seriously, ditch your ISP, as the free market would dictate is the proper response, in the current market. That means you get no more broadband. In a free market, this wouldn't be a problem, there would be hundreds of others wanting to pick you up as a customer, and I wouldn't be advocating for government intervention. I agree with free market principles, but there is no free market for broadband, so said principles don't apply. In reality, you're fucked.
I'm fairly sure they can claim jurisdiction using the interstate commerce clause. Most ISPs aren't state-specific, and they're accessing a nationwide network.
I don't have a choice of ISP. The vast majority of people who do have a choice have only two choices, usually Verizon/Comcast, AT&T/Cablevision or some other combination of gigantic, shitty companies. They can go fuck themselves if they want to restrict which sites are available through the pipe they provide; it's not their business to be doing so. I pay for X speed, give me X speed - that's pretty much the limit of their power IMO. Throttling Fox or NBC is shit that will not fly. This isn't cable TV, where there's all sorts of agreements between the providers and the network, and (originally was) limited bandwidth of X channels to broadcast in an area. This is the internet, built for anyone to send information anywhere at any time. Fuck you if you think Bing is a better search engine than Google because M$ paid you off, so you're giving better speeds to Bing.
Branding something "internet access" gives you the rights to get on the internet. The internet is free and open, therefore "internet access" must be free and open. Get it?
Yeah. They got an injunction against their plans, and then went ahead and built out their own infrastructure while the community couldn't do a thing to advance the project.
Good point on never mentioning it; I just saw it as implied.
My real point still stands though. There's approximately the same amount of nonsense with either nowadays, which is to say nearly none. Mac isn't better than Windows in this respect, because there's just about 0 room for improvement.
Holy shit, you mean preinstalled Windows box asks for MORE than your name, time zone, and passwords, and don't work right out of the box?
I call bullshit just like GP, because a modern preinstalled Windows box asks EVEN LESS than a new Mac box - they don't ask you for a name or password 90% of the time, as they're set up for "Owner". Special drivers? Oh yeah, only for arcane devices!
Good thing F@H runs on the GPU, which is many times faster than the CPU at these operations.
Also, don't forget what it takes to build supercomputer capable of doing this, and that resources put into building supercomputers are then not available for the consumer market. Distributing this stuff allows for a compromise between absolute best performance and letting people have powerful computers at home.
That really doesn't make it a toxin. That's a physical characteristic, doing physical damage to the lung.
You're right that those physical characteristics are somewhat unique, and thus cause somewhat unique symptoms, but that doesn't make asbestos a toxin. It's not some chemical, like BPA, that interacts on a molecular level, where that chemical interaction causes cancer.
The point is that it's not something that's going to interact with your lungs in a chemical way. It's going to have the same exact effect as any other fine particulate substance when airborne.
They don't pay by the hour (wages), they pay by the year (salary). That's the key problem preventing increased productivity from providing less working hours.
Right, but there's a very real possibility of total peace. Especially considering that when there's a small segment ( 1% ) of the population that have these things, there's a very real chance of the wealthy being toppled off their thrones by the other 99%.
It may very well be focus strain. I never caught something that was out of focus while I was watching, but it was a 3D demo - showing off the 3D, with stuff closer than the screen itself.
Doesn't make it any less of a problem for wide adoption, though.

Jeez, you talk like Apple is the best tool for everything that has ever needed computing. Sounds like an elitist snob to me.
Not only do they have to approve it, but you have to pay to get your apps onto the store at all.

When I first got the PS3 disc, it was a piece of crap compared to Netflix on the 360. Hopefully, they've improved it substantially.

It isn't for a lack of trying.
They don't pay by the hour (wages), they pay by the year (salary). That's the key problem preventing increased productivity from providing less working hours.
Yeah, because that's totally accessible to everyone, just the way the internet is supposed to be.
I think we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
Right, but there's a very real possibility of total peace. Especially considering that when there's a small segment ( 1% ) of the population that have these things, there's a very real chance of the wealthy being toppled off their thrones by the other 99%.
It's a vast improvement over musical chairs.
It's not banned. They'll just put you on a blacklist, so that every other casino also knows about it.

Making everything abundant also has the effect of seriously altering, if not completely destroying, the current economic structure of the world.
