your wiring is your responsibility. its your own fault if its not done properly, it doesnt matter where you live (unless you rent, then its the landlord's responsibility)
a better way to launder the cash would be through speed camera companies. the police make cash off speed cameras, so they build more, their funding is cut, so they need to build more still, creating ever increasing demand for speed cameras. politician takes cut from speed camera company & everyones happy (the speed camera company, the politician & their 'little hitler' voters who just want to see people punished, anyway, everyone that matters).
in effect, its the same as the money going straight to the government, every £1 collected in fines is £1 less they need to fund the police with. its all the same pot of money really, its just the police are too dumb to realise it.
the police do use it for their funds, which creates problem 1.
problem 2 is caused by politicians thinking they can cut (or not increase so much) police funding, because they get extra money from fines. this makes problem 1 even worse.
with the errors in it, its even a poor choice for students & trainees.
it seems to be slightly above the level of what users need to know, not many people run a corporate-style network at home & this kind of thing should be done for them at work.
the bbc is a public sector broadcaster. it isnt a commercial business & his livelihood doesnt depend on his/the bbc's success (which is guaranteed, by law).
therefore the managers job is to shuffle papers around & look busy.
anarchism assumes that nobody will try to seize power. without rulers, or authority, there is nothing at all to stop anyone from seizing power & turning it into a totalitarian dictatorship.
therefore it cannot possibly work, long term, in a large group, unless everybody is 'good' & doesnt try to seize power through force, for their own gain.
now, not only will non-english speakers have to type english domain names, they'll have to be able to type greek, russian, arabic, chinese, japanese & any other language. will everyone have to buy a foreign keyboard to visit foreign websites?
multiple grocery stores dont create redundancy, unless you open up your small store right next to a walmart & sell exactly the same goods, with would be a stupid idea, similar to trying to compete with a phone monopoly by installing your own lines.
phone lines are very expensive to install, a company isnt going to want to install one, with less than a 50% chance of it being used. same for power lines & other domestic utilities. if they did install lines on the chance that they might be used, they'd have to charge much more for them. i cant understand how you cant see that running 3 phone lines to everyone's houses would be inefficient. even if they're installed on demand, theres already a good working line & it'll cost a lot to install a separate one, so the 1st company would have to charge extremely high prices to make it worthwhile for the 2nd company to install a 2nd line & then undercut the first. so, with no regulation, you'd end up with either a large national monopoly, or smaller regional monopolies & the barriers too entry of that market would be so high, that nobody could compete. as you suggest, the threat of somebody else installing a 2nd line would keep prices below a maximum, but that maximum price would be at least double the real cost & probably below the maximum price the market could bear (monopoly pricing). the high cost of the infrastructure creates a natural monopoly.
a small grocery store is totally different, they have lower costs than a large store & they dont have to run expensive lines to everybody's houses. they're going to be closer to at least some people's houses, than another store, giving them an advantage of convenience. there arent such high barriers to entry to the grocery market. theres more differentiation between the competitors, its possible to compete on quality & other non-price factors.
he just did. telephone wires, cable tv wires, water pipes, sewage pipes, electricity lines, gas pipes, train tracks & roads are all examples of natural monopolies. it'd be inefficient to have 3 sets of telephone wires running to your house, all run by different companies there would be competition, but higher costs across the industry, and lowers sales for each company, because they would only sell around 1/3rd of their lines.
that stuff should be obvious with just a little thought, a phone line monopoly doesnt need any government laws to protect it, economic laws already protect it.

ms is good at business, they've already realised they need to ditch vista & move on asap, or die.

nz isnt in the usa, that was the whole point.
even if there are aliens 100 light years away, how could we communicate with them?
any further & they might as well not exist.
do you have any idea how big the earth is, compared to a few barrels of nuclear waste?
where do you think the nuclear fuel comes from?
subduction zones seem to be the best place to put it to me. what can go wrong with that?
mp4 is also fine for people that dont live in the usa, or japan.

and if you're responsible for running a network, you should already know these basics, or you dont deserve to have the job.
looks like the book is aimed at trainees or students, any network admin should know this & those that dont are unlikely to read a book.

this is desktop machines, not servers.
or you could just use vlc & save the stream directly
