I've considered this problem and the baggage it entails and come to the conclusion that stationary terrestrial networks are entirely too easy for an entity (e.g. government) to simply shut down or fundamentally break. Therefore, the remaining solution is to use a large number of LEO satellites. In order to satisfy the bandwidth and power requirements, I think a network of tiny satellites with superconductive ICs doing routing are the solution. Instead of IP addresses, you would have a UUID and geographic coordinates. It's not 100% anonymous and you would want to encrypt your connection to prevent hijacking and spying. It would be exceedingly difficult to be (legally) coerced into modifying the network, especially if you don't physically operate within the nation making the demands.
In order to fund such a network, you could charge money for special transponders that exceed an arbitrary upload rate limit but doing so exposes a company to legal manipulation. If you're just wicked rich, you could just not bother with making money off it.
They should fine the shit out of the telcos who took billions in subsidies to provide broadband to the nation and then reneged on their end of the deal.
Marketers that think their shit don't stink can go to Hell as far as I'm concerned. If that means site XYZ has to shutter, I'm ok with that because it's a shitty business model.
Considering the patch system reboots your computer at least once every two weeks, I'm not impressed. You can begin talking about stability when your desktop system has been running for at least six months. Today is literally my desktop's 300th day of uptime.
Honest question: Why is it possible for application A from company X to access information from application B from company Y? I could understand if they were both from company X and were signed with the same certificate but it's nothing like that! No application should EVER have full system access.
Informed individuals don't have a problem with GMOs, they have a problem with companies that want absolute control of GMOs. While this is a novel thing they have made, the vast majority of GMOs are to make plants resist increasingly caustic herbicides/pesticides. The problem with this is that despite how much you clean it, trace amount of the herbicides/pesticides remain on the plant and if ingested then become part of you and there is no real research into the long term effects of this. What's worse is that herbicides/pesticides don't just land on the crops, trace amounts are in the air which can be enough to kill unmodified plants. On top of that, being unable to use seeds from a previous generation of plant forces a continual dependence on a corporation which is only harmful to everyone but the GMO owner.
TL;DR: GMOs are fine but corporations are assholes who don't care if you live or die.
Finally, now you can run all your favorite Linux server applications on an OS that will run them a bit slower, could BSOD at any moment, needs significant patching regularly which could nuke the whole box! All that uptime with Linux is really boring for the guys in IT!;)
... today's computers are 1024 times faster than 15 years ago.... the developers "ate" most of the gains in hardware using it for their own convenience instead of that of the end-users.
Yeah, like writing programs in a shitty script languages like say... JavaScript. -_-
If Javascript devs can be honest with themselves for a minute then they will realize that this is the result of using Javascript to make applications. Simply put, Javascript was never intended to be used for making applications and poor performance is a reflection of that reality. I'm certain they could optimize it but the overhead compared to a native application is absurd. Don't give me that "Javascript is one languages for all platforms" line either because C++/Qt works on just as many platforms.
Never? The AC is right, we are in the economic endgame because of mass automation. However, consider the following:
* The current medical pricing trend is unsustainable. * Patents on medicine don't last forever and when they expire you get "generics" made by any certified manufacturer at which point they are cheap. * We've getting to the point technologically where they are soon going to be made on site by a automated chemistry machine that can make any medicine. * Most importantly: Men and nations will do the right thing once they have exhausted all other options... and we're getting there.
Many things could happen and maybe the US won't be around or the US government will be reformed. What I do know is that all roads lead to a resolution of your concerns.
They are already trying to murder people for voting for the wrong guy. There is a professor that has been caught on video using a very heavy bike lock to crack skulls. What would be "more radicalized" than yelling "kill all whites", "Die cis scum" and many other nasty slogans? Because this is whats happening right now. Backed and emboldened by the mainstream media those domestic terrorists have lost all restraint. Just look up "Berkeley riots" on google (and maybe try to avoid media that are proud of being to the left of Karl Marx).
I'm talking about with these individuals in particular, dummy.
Instead of just charging them with what they did, extraordinary measures are being taken to punish these people. The question is, do you honestly think this will make them more or less likely to become politically radicalized? If history has taught us anything then it's that when you up the ante, opponents will respond in kind.

Why not just eliminate Python completely and free us all from it's terrible reign? ;)
Is there a petition I can sign for Adobe to delete the source code to Flash? I know it's almost dead but why wait? ;)

Instead of a monetary penalty, just close their most active social media account each time they get caught. ;)
Recycle it!
A third of the way there!

an equivalent laser system will run you more than US$1 million
so... $100K?
The entire integrated system and associated software retails for US$120,000
Oh, marketing mathematics, eh?
Call me when you get it down to $10K.

The next step after smart guns is Cloud Connected guns.
You've won a page of pertinent information!
Sure, Sans Sharif was corrupt but still, nobody is looking forward to Prime Minister Komik Sans. ;)
I agree. Throw Python and Perl in that mess too. Yes, I've seen Perl GUI apps.

Yeah... because I live in reality. You should try it.

By the time this can be applied to the general population, such issues will be resolved.

Worked for this guy.
You do know he got assassinated, right?
come on, a simple search would have given you all the info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
So which bastion of capitalism is being crushed here?
you didn't exactly refute any of it.
that's because the statements conflict with scientific evidence or are irrelevant.
