When the, say, 1000 individual links managed by a given router are aggregated within that router and passed out through that router's own link to the next router in the route... well, now, aren't all 1000 of those users sharing a common link?
Export. Tree paper can be exported anywhere; hemp paper can only be exported to places where it is legal. Hemp clothing is generally fine, as it ca only be made from stem fibers, which don't carry any of marijuana's active ingredients (which are found in trace amounts in hemp, as well), while the leaves and buds can be processed for paper.
Actually, I live in a city where smoking is banned in multi-dwelling homes (e.g. apartments and attached condos) and the entire downtown area, with an exception made for medical marijuana. That's right, it's perfectly legal to walk through my city smoking a joint, if you have an MMJ card, but you can be fined for smoking a cigarette.
Guess what I've never once seen. Now, guess what I see all the time.
Pot smokers are typically pretty considerate about when and where they smoke, and who they smoke around. On the other hand, I find myself reminding people that cigarette smoking is illegal in the city at least once a week. Sweet justice, though, the one guy who didn't take the hint and told me to go get fucked walked around the corner and bumped into a cop.
Weed, indeed. I routinely go months without, but then I start to feel a migraine come on and it's a nightly thing for me for a week or two. Recreational use is a very occasional occurrence for me, but I have come to work high more than once, when I had a migraine. My employer knows this and doesn't care, because my work output has been consistently superb for the almost 5 years I've worked here and it was actually appreciated that I came in at all, given that I was suffering a debilitating condition (the migraine, not the weed).
Would I come to work high just because, or if I were working for an employer that had a problem with my use of marijuana for migraine therapy? Hellz naw, that's just a special kind of dumb. I actually discussed the issue with my employer before going and getting my MMJ card. There was no argument, as the effects of pot are much less detrimental to my work (indeed, I've compared code written high to code written sober and both were equally passable) than the hallucinogens I've been prescribed for migraine therapy in the past.
If I even find myself working for someone who has a problem with it, I'll give it up and get back on Immitrex or Cafergot and they can live without me for 3 days whenever I get a migraine.
You sure it failed? Maybe look at how it actually works and consider that it's still being used by a large number of people before you make that claim. Apple had to get as many banks as possible on board while Google just said "hey, here's a virtual MasterCard, have a blast". MasterCard is already accepted everywhere you could possibly expect to see an NFC-enabled credit card terminal, while Apple Pay is useless to you if you happen to be with a credit union or the majority of banks who aren't part of the program.
Of course, both are useless if you're shopping at a CurrentC retailer, since they've disabled their NFC. My response to that is to simple continue not shopping at those places.
Furthermore, I bungled the math somewhere in there and 25,000,000 * 29.67 is actually 741,750,000, so call it $750,000,000 with an eye for collected taxes and fees, and an estimated total of $752,500,000 when all is said and done. Hell, include some punitive damages and round it up to an even $1 billion.
Sorry, that's million, not billion. Which, of course, changes my final figure, in which I had intended to reflect $2.5 million in combined court costs, legal fees, and administrative costs, to $13,500,000.
Let's see... when I was with AT&T, I used to get 10-40mbps on LTE and 1-6mbps on 3g. Roughly equal distribution across the board, so we can average the two ranges (25 and 3.5, respectively), then average those results, to get an average throughput of 14.25mbps, of which the throttled rate of 100kbps is 10 1425ths, or 0.7% of the average potential throughput.
There are 31,536,000 seconds in a year, which averages out to 2,628,000 per month. AT&T's throttling comes in at 2GB and you can burn through 2GB in 140.35 seconds, or 0.395% of a month, at the average rate. For the unthrottled portion of the service, AT&T has earned 0.395% of the $30 they charge, or 11.85 cents.
For the remaining 99.605% of the month, AT&T is providing 0.7% of the service they sold, entitling them to 0.7% of the remaining 99.605% of the $30 they charge. 99.605% of $30 is $29.8815 (note the fifteen hundredths of a cent) and 0.7% of that is 20.92 cents.
So, for the unthrottled potion of the service, AT&T has earned 11.85 cents and, for the throttled potion, 20.92 cents, for a grand total of 32.77 cents, which we'll round up, as other calculations were rounded down by thousandths of a cent, so, 33 cents.
By that math, AT&T should be on the hook for $29.67, plus any taxes or fees taken as a percentage of the $30 price, per month, for each grandfathered unlimited customer that had service during the time that AT&T was throttling. Plus court costs, legal fees, and the administrative costs associated with distributing the payout. According to the FTC, over the course of nearly 3 years of throttling, 3.5 million customers were throttled for over 25 million combined billing cycles, putting AT&T's liability in this matter somewhere in the range of 25,000,000 * 29.67 (that's $10,820,895.52), plus collected taxes and fees (let's round to $11 billion to account for that), court costs, legal fees, and administrative costs, which they should be made to pay as well, for an estimated total of $11,002,500. To be fair.
Yes, because line breaks in BASIC are significant. That means, of course, that they actually *do* something; and doing some things in BASIC means you *need* line breaks, so really, any BASIC program without them... is one line.
Ubuntu users don't need to know that unless they've enabled the universe, multiverse, or backports repositories, in which case they only don't know it if they didn't read the comments in the sources.list file while enabling them or, if they're using a GUI, they ignore the warnings that come up when they check the little boxes.
The kind that introduced the bug that cause this whole issue to come up in the first place. That said, nobody's perfect and every developer has introduced boner security bugs at some point or another; some of us are just more willing to take the extra steps to fix them.
This is the "universe" repo, which is community-maintained and not supported by Canonical in any way. It's also not enabled by default and there are ample warning when enabling it. This isn't a case of Ubuntu shipping with software that never gets updates, it's a case of Ubuntu users installing software they're told beforehand is unsupported and probably won't get updates.
You mean warnings like this comment above the disabled by default universe repository (where owncloud exists)?
## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team.
That covers the entire repository, including its contents, which would include owncloud, if installed from Ubuntu's repository. If installed from elsewhere, it's not Ubuntu's responsibility, anyway.
It's not. The stable release consists of the repos that are enabled by default, a list which does not include universe. The universe repository also comes with the following warning:
## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team.
There are similar, but stronger, warnings on multiverse and backports, as well. It's not like they don't tell you what you're getting yourself into when you choose to enable those sources.
Most US providers charge $5-10 for a SIM. They often waive it with the purchase of a new phone and, less commonly, with a new contract, but that doesn't mean they don't charge for them. That's beside the point, though; for T-Mobile, AT&T, or Sprint on the current-gen iPads, it's Apple SIM or bust, and you're buying that from Apple, not your carrier; the only carrier-specific SIMs that will work in the current iPads are for carriers not participating in the Apple SIM program, AFAIK. So yes, that AT&T would essentially brick the SIM for other carriers is outrageous.
Ha, good one. The bet ones are always based on facts, after all. Except... wait a minute... No, it's just a regular form-factor SIM card that accepts signaling from the device to select which carrier it identifies with. Which, of course, means you can use a normal carrier SIM in it, as well. How do I know this? Verizon doesn't support the Apple SIM, but you can sure pop a Verizon LTE SIM in there and it'll work.

And they're paying their bill, to their provider.

Don't bother, I posted the same fact on the Shellshock threads and got smacked down for it. Let them remain blissfully ignorant.

It is if you share the same bias.
How many banks signed on to Google Wallet vs Apple Pay?
Zero. That's not how Google Wallet works.

Not so. For example, newlines and semi-colons have special meanings in file operations and printing output. Also, BBC BASIC doesnt use GOSUB labels, so you can only GOSUB to the beginning of a newline-delineated line, similar to GOTO.
Yes, I see how the two are similare enough so as to be interchangeable. Maybe, if you don't want your program to run.
Yes, because line breaks in BASIC are significant. That means, of course, that they actually *do* something; and doing some things in BASIC means you *need* line breaks, so really, any BASIC program without them... is one line.
Most carriers charge. They usually waive it, but yes, the charge. You basically just said that, so......
It's was removed from 14.10 prior to release, so, for the current and future Ubuntu releases, this is a solved issue.
