But it is all fibre optic! The advert says it is, so it must be quick!
Quite how Virgin can get away with saying their broadband is fibre optic when the last loop is copper is beyond me. It's about time the ASA did what they are supposed to do - BT broadband is fibre optic by their interpretation of things!
Your operations in photoshop are extremely unlikely to fully disturb the relationships between pixels and sensor noise, but maybe you are able to perfectly remove all noise and mosaicing artifacts.
Regardless, the paper is an interesting read, especially given that their team is primarily focussing on the creation of algorithms that are resistant to malicious tampering.
I agree - my sister was nearly pressured into an engineering route at college by schooling and sponsorship deals but stuck to her guns and has a postgraduate diploma in music performance on two instruments. She's very happy - she can do the music when the work is available for her instruments, and to fill in of the time can get "technical" positions in sales/marketing for engineering companies.
I'm going to get flamed and/or marked as a troll here, but from my observations the American way doesn't cater well for that kind of thinking. Everything appears to be about excelling and celebration of success, even if that means the child has to do something they don't really like doing - as long as they are very good then the praise and peer respect makes up for it.
Now imagine all the over head wires if 20 different electric companies participated in the same city. Somewhere, the free market has to be put aside because of other facters that need to be controlled.
Here in the UK we have dozens of suppliers of electricity, gas and telephony available to anyone (for the most part - telephony is lagging, but is slowly getting therE). I can switch my supplier at any point and my service is provided by someone else, over infrastructure owned by a third party.
His point was that if someone wants the data, eg they actively stole the hard drive, then they are likely to steal or obtain the mechanism to decrypt the data too.

It depends on the situation.
Efficiency isn't always the desirable outcome as most code doesn't need to be exceptionally efficient - a good developer's time is expensive, and often anything that makes it easier to maintain is a good thing.
It also means developers can spend more time developing extra functionality rather than coding uber efficient code that usually isn't needed - and then rewrite poorly performing code.
That said, sometimes you really do want to go for the efficiency - a good developer will know when to do that and document appropriately (both inside the code and out - the last thing you want when planning a large change is to not know what is involved until you get neck deep in code).
Or better still, attach the source zip/jar/directory and then you can either browse the Javadoc as generated from the source in question, or hit F3 and view the source for the class/method/declaration your caret is over.
AFAIR The Tories could see that BT offering fibre to the home back in the 80s for digital cable TV (no viable digital compression or whatever) would lead to a huge monopoly so stopped BT deploying anything back then. Had they done it, we'd have one of the best networks in the world now.
re: Welfare - that system was designed to help the country recover after a war. It was never designed to be abused the way it is now - time for some harsh reforms I think.
This should all be managed centrally though - it isn't that hard to deploy things automatically on demand. Office workstations should be locked down for the majority of staff - they don't NEED the latest version of Flash etc for most things, nor do they need floppy / cdrom / usb access for that matter.
Software is worth as much as people are prepared to pay for it - and if you can get people to believe they should pay a lot for it then good for you, more so if you have invested millions in development in order to make it happen. This is especially so in the CAD markets, where there are a very limited number of sales (price*sales is likely many times less than something like MS Office, and even if the product was cheaper the masses don't want AutoCAD or similar with its pro features...).

My Macbook is 18 months old and I easily get 4 hours out of it, sometimes more. The battery has never been out of the thing either.
You must be doing something wrong .
NiCd do lose storage, particularly if they are "fast charged" as this encourages heat and crystal build up
The "last mile" is copper. It is only fibre to the green street distribution boxes.
They run copper from the roadside box to your house, not fibre.
How close are you to the exchange?

They aren't a patent troll company? Short memory?

You mean Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) - which has other names in different animals (eg CJD in humans).
Apparently it doesn't exist in the USA though, so most people here are safe! McDonalds for everyone! :-)
One can also disable USB in Windows quite easily too (or restrict it to admin users only).

In a word, no.

How is it a forced contract? You don't HAVE to click OK, you can click cancel. And you don't HAVE to use their products. That is the negotiation.

Why are users allowed to install browser tool bars?
It's more than a joke on the Java logo:
Java, among other things, is a type of coffee.
The first 2 bytes of a Java class are CA FE
But yes, the most critical thing in any IT department is coffee - despite other posters suggesting other caffeine drinks, coffee reins supreme.
Have you had the upgrade nag already then?
Java linking happens at runtime.
