    Unfortunately though one of their main selling points has been that with them data is data, they never cared if it was a mobile hotspot or tethered, it was just data.

    It still is just data, there is absolutely no reason to treat the traffic different.

    Can you imagine the lawsuits if Google DID have these guys on the payroll and, 5 years later, ONE of them went nuts-o and harmed another employee, and that employee was NOT aware of the attacker's previous job description?

    The risk is not employee on employee violence, it is risk of suicide.

    It needs a legendary name to compete with "Beawolf Cluster", hmm perhaps "Hydra Connection"?

    No, you have to be so rich that you would never spend the money anyways to get a 13% tax rate.

  8. Why is this impressive? on 10 Internet Connections At Same Time · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ok, so they made a download of 85Mbps, is this impressive due to the speed, or the complexity?

    Also, how fast is the Ethernet connection on it's own?

    All in all, they hooked up all of these networking cards:

            7 USB Wi-Fi Cards
            USB 3G Modem
            4G Tethered Smartphone
            Ethernet Connection

  9. Re:Sweden has similar issues on Prices Drive Australians To Grey Market For Hardware and Software · · Score: 1

    I can understand the reasoning with media that would need to be translated in that if the majority of the market buys the english version then there will not be enough of a market to support a swedish version.

    But it makes absolutely no sense for things that don't need translation.

    Yes, I have heard of Fry's and Walmart carrying items that are below the standard specs for those items, but I have never heard of it being because of products meant for a different market.

    It is usually the case that if Walmart advertises a name brand TV for much less than you can get elsewhere that it has less options than ones found elsewhere and therefor you can't do price matching since they are not the same item.

    One must also consider the price of not selling all 1000 widgets.

  12. Re:Dismiss every drug case on DEA Lack of Data Storage Results In Dismissed Drug Case · · Score: 2

    Black markets will always be around since there are many undeniably negative trade-offs to recreational drug use, and therefore benefits to concealing their use will always be present.

    If you can remove 90% of the volume of what goes though the black markets then you will severely cripple the black markets reducing their prevalence to the point that it will be very hard to even find people who know where to get what.

    As long as he was monitoring the health and mental well being of those he was prescribing drugs to then that is pretty much the model of legalizing drugs that I support.

    As long as you have the proper licenses and accept quarterly evaluations I don't see a problem.

  16. Re:Dismiss every drug case on DEA Lack of Data Storage Results In Dismissed Drug Case · · Score: 1

    There should be doctors who specialize in non-medical drugs. In order to purchase drugs you will need to go to a doctor and get ok'd for specific drugs, you then get a card allowing you to purchase said drugs. If you do not go back for quarterly check-ups your card will be revoked.

    If a significant portion of people who use currently illegal drugs go this route then there will not be enough of a market for illegal suppliers.

    If you post under an account you are allowed to post more often.

    AC's are restricted in how often they post, and the more posts you do as an AC the longer the wait till you can post again.

    The Google glasses you shouldn't wear in front of an ATM.

    I don't see the risk of wearing one of these helms to the ATM, well no actual risk, just paranoia. There is more of a risk of someone putting the helm on you and flashing random numbers in front of you until they get your PIN.
