Try satellite, they cover just about all of the US. If that fails, you can ALWAYS have a T1 line run, but it's expensive.
No thanks, but I don't want to have to subsidize your parents' internet because they CHOSE to live out in the middle of nowhere. Or in your case, across the street from the only thing mentionable in the middle of nowhere.
OH NO! Not account information! Oh wait, isn't withholding that kinda like censorship? So if that information got "leaked" by accident its alright, but if a court demands it in the due and proper course of a criminal investigation it's bad? Grow up.
Of course, hydro electric isn't safe either, considering when the water dam in China broke, it caused the highest number of energy related deaths ever recorded at 230,000. Coal burning power generation accounts for an estimated 200,000 deaths EVERY YEAR.
Given the numbers, nuclear is still THE safest method of reliable energy we currently have. If you want to start shutting down things that pose a serious risk, start with the coal plants FIRST.
And when did Chernobyl become the bar for "holy shit! it's bad"?
My guess would be the instant it became the worst nuclear accident in history was when it became the bar. We can infer what will happen for anything less than that bar, but anything above it, so far, we have no real world experience help judge what all the possible effects might be and to what extent.
Still doesn't make it "insecure by design", nor once compromised gives them irrevocable access.
The headline, and summary are both misleading and sensationalist that are factually incorrect.
I agree it would probably be best if after you change your password that it then asks if you want to unlink all the computers as well, with some informative box on why you may want to do so, but that is hardly the huge deal the article portrays it to be.
Because rsync doesn't always work well with firewalls and NATs. Because rsync doesn't work if one (or more) systems are on only sporadically. Because rsync doesn't work if you have multiple devices to sync and you don't have a "master" device. Because rsync doesn't allow you to see your data from any device that can access the web. Because rsync doesn't sync nearly immediately (24/7) to all devices (if they are connected) automatically. Because rsync doesn't allow you to see previous versions of your files. Because rsync uses more bandwidth as it has to send each device the file(s). Because rsync is a PITA if you have files that change on multiple devices and you want the latest one on each without having to deal with lots of change conflicts.
Well except that I know many people say that they "live in Chicago" when they are actually in the suburbs of Chicago, about 50 miles away from the city border.
You are confusing a language with a UI (or hardware) library. Sort of. It's a bit more complicated than that, but I'll leave it as that to not further confuse you.
In actuality,.NET, mono, monotouch, and monodroid are a collection of base class libraries, interpreters (or compilers), with each diverging with their own separate UI/hardware libraries. Additionally, the later two (or three) are compiled, with no "additional abstraction at runtime".
No. A terrorist attacks people that have nothing to do with the military or government in an attempt to cause terror in the public. A freedom fighter MAY also be a terrorist, but not necessarily. One that randomly targets and assassinates military and/or government targets only is not a terrorist.
It has cooperative multitasking, not preemptive. Since most TOS/GEM applications had a window where it would check for window messages, this worked well for most applications.
Sure, have two devices. Keep them both plugged in, and figure out how much you are paying for them over the course of 3 years in electricity. Don't forget to add in the extra cost of batteries for the remote (or maybe you have a universal remote?). Hope that nothing changes in those 3 years that you might wan to upgrade as well.
That's a lot of IFs, and a lot of headache to save a few bucks (if any), but feel free if you are that strapped for cash.
That is because Nintendo sells their units above cost, so they don't really care what people do with them. Microsoft sells their XBox units at a loss, and they only break even/make a profit if people buy accessories, games, or gold memberships. If they allowed free netflix and iPlayer on the XBox, then many might buy one (or more) units to stream movies to their TVs, and they would lose money on each one.
They could fix it I suppose by charging $200 more per unit, but then most of the complainers would still be complaining.
Sure, that might work for little cities like Vancouver.
Now try the same thing with the city I am from (Chicago, IL), with 6 times that population. You can't just take your 30ish story buildings and turn them into 180 story buildings. Nor will you have enough space for grocery stores 6 times the size, nor will the parks accommodate 6 times the number of people, roads accommodating 6 times the number of cars, buses, trains, etc.
Yes, it actually is pretty feasible, and if you had any experience dealing with shippers and items from other countries you would have already run into similar things such as RoHS compliance. This would be almost exactly the same situation, and most shippers already have similar processes in place.
I like the look of FF4, but they have some kind of serious memory leak. I noticed my system started using the disk a LOT, firefox was unresponsive, and I noticed that while only having 4 tabs open, firefox was using 700MB of memory, all but 45MB was paged out. Seems they also like to page a lot of stuff out to the paging file as well, even when the system has plenty of ram free (1.2GB used, 2.8GB free). Won't be much of a problem on my home machine with paging to a SSD, but it stinks on my office machine that isn't nearly as beefy.
For now, I'm going to have to switch back to FF 3.6 as my primary browser until these issues get sorted.

That may be interesting, but you didn't answer the question.

I had the exact same impression.

Did you read the article? Unlink the computer and re-add it if you suspect you have been compromised.
For starters?
Because rsync doesn't always work well with firewalls and NATs.

and on and on...
Not irrevocable. You just need to deauthorize the affected host, then readd it back again.

That is why they said "fundamental incompatibility" instead of just "incompatibility".
Yes, it actually is pretty feasible, and if you had any experience dealing with shippers and items from other countries you would have already run into similar things such as RoHS compliance. This would be almost exactly the same situation, and most shippers already have similar processes in place.
I agree. Tom Baker was definately the best of them, but there were quite a few very very good ones.
What (useful) thing did the status bar have that the add-on bar does not?
Because I can, and I'll replace it long before I use up all the writes.
Well except that IE usage actually went up, and firefox usage actually dipped shortly after the ballot box was introduced. What does that tell you?
Already did that, as I have to be able to run both 3.6 and 4.0 on the same machine.
