Are you sure? Even though they are farther from us than our own resolver or ISP, they probably have a MUCH larger cache, which ensures that they won't then in turn do a lookup which you have to wait for.
My experience with it so far today at work is that it appears to be much faster than our ISPs DNS, with several pages appearing instantly that have never appeared instantly before.
Distance to the service is not the only variable involved.
Yes, you can. A man argued that his ticket was unfair because women get off with warnings easier than men. A check of the records showed this to be true and he was let off.
It's not "the cop got me instead of him" though. That's just the officer doing his best and the police force not having unlimited resources.
What if the "cloud" becomes pets.com, and just runs out of money, closes up shop and shuts down the servers, and then sells them to a recovery company that takes your data and sells it to the highest bidder.
You can upgrade (even 32-bit to 64-bit) using Laplink's PCMover Upgrade Assistant program. I did this at work because I just have too much software installed. I still had to reinstall SQL Server and the Visual Studios, but many other programs continued to work.
Windows 7 always does a clean install anyway (even in their "Vista upgrade"), so you don't have to worry about that.
I second this. Nobody can run my 1.6GHz netbook with 1GB RAM on Vista. It's completely unusable. But plenty of people run Windows 7 on it (including myself, although I upgraded it to 2GB for $20).
I would imagine that there are many multiples of requests per person. If I am tracking a mafia hitman, I would probably makes dozens if not hundreds or even thousands of requests on that guy. If law enforcement made an application to plot the guys location on a map, it could easily be 10,000 per individual or more.
Let's say, to be generous, that it's 1,000 requests per individual. That means that a mere 8,000 individuals were tracked in a year by law enforcement. Far less than the number of people in prison,.1%, in fact.
I had a co-worker from Afghanistan in the past (nice guy). He said that his uncle would do it is to buy a field with land mines on it for cheap and then just let a herd of goats graze the property. If a goat exploded, that one was dinner.
The Atari 800 emulator has this feature. The Ultima games used this extensively to have red and blue on a monochrome screen with decent resolution to appear like CGA. There are also modes to do green/blue, in case your TV and computer did that back in the day.
And I know my mom would LOVE for there be more money spent on administration at her schools since she spends so much time filling out paperwork wasting tons of tax payers' dollars to ensure precious tax payers' dollars aren't being wasted.
Actualy, not to be rude, but assuming your mom is a teacher, the school saves a ton of money by having the salaried teachers each fill out their own paperwork. Hiring an additional staff member to do this would be the waste.
As a former president of an Abstinence organization, I can tell you that most abstinence organizations teach all about birth control methods. Why does it put kids in additional danger to have them delay sexuality until they are old enough to be responsible for the consequences it brings? Certainly teen pregnancy is far more dangerous for the baby as well as the quality of life of the mother.
And creationists raise several important challenges to evolution that have not been addressed. How does science continue to be science if challenges to the prevailing theory are censored instead of discussed? At that point, it is propaganda, not science.
First, a religious symbol is absolutely speech. If it weren't, you wouldn't be so offended by its message.
Second, Christians are compelled to "Go and make disciples of all nations." Christianity is all about spreading the good news that Jesus died for man's sins. Without the gospel, there is no Christianity.
Countries should not endorse a single religion or denomination, because throughout history, that has always ended badly. But refusing to allow its citizens to freely exercise their religious beliefs is the thought police at its worst, and no county should do that either.
America is on the right path with this, although they get it wrong once in a while.
We did something similar to this for the shared "God" password on a minicomputer system which was difficult to change.
I took a Russian word and then used the English characters that look like the Cyrillic characters. It was great because it sounds nothing like it looks and wouldn't be in any dictionary. So, we could shout it across the room or tell it over the phone and nobody even began to know how it was spelled. And we had a tech that left and only 3 months later he couldn't remember it, even though he had used it pretty regularly for about 2 years.
You might try calling the "Business Services" branch of your provider. They can do deals that the "Residential Services" branch cannot. You will pay more (around $120/month to start), but you can usually get fixed IPs and higher bandwidths.
US plugs are safer because they only carry 110v. That, in and of itself, makes US wiring safer. 220v is much more deadly than 110v. Since all of my appliances work just fine on 110v, in what way is 220v better?
From the stats I can find, UK deaths by electrical outlets are.486 per 100,000 and US rates are.015 per 100,000, more than an order of magnitude safer, even without massive numbers of safety features. I have grabbed live wires at a plug a few times in my life, and it just jolts your arm a little bit. I suppose it's possible to die that way, but I don't know anyone who has personally. I've never even heard of it in the US but I guess it does happen (faulty wiring in the home or workplace was included in the stats above). Bottom line, I am seriously not worried one bit about grabbing live outlet lines. It hurts a little, so I don't do it for fun, but I'm really not worried about dying or anything.
I like having very small (polarized) plugs for small appliances. Who wants to carry around a ginormous brick in your bag just to plug something in? For serious appliances like microwaves, there are serious 3-pronged grounded plugs. This gives options based on the appliance rather than a one-size-fits all system of massive plugs.
If my pins get bent, I just bend them back. This happens so infrequently, it's amazing that someone even mentioned it. Also, I have NEVER had a plug "fall out". Seriously? Fall out? If someone kicks it, I would RATHER it come out of the wall so they don't go flying head over heels and really injure themselves. I have lived in the US for almost 40 years now, and I can count on one hand the times a plug was kicked out or bent.
If we can believe the 9 manuscripts of which 7 don't even match greater than 90% and the earliest of which is over 1000 years after it was (supposedly) written.
Just kidding, but the Bible has over 6000 manuscripts, many of which are 90-300 years later and people say this stuff about the Bible all the time...
Wrong, he claimed to be a devout, church-going Christian a mere 2 years after declaring, "You have me confused with a Christian." The difference? He was running for office.

This.
They count by visits to popular web sites using whatever OS you are currently using. So they absolutely could count both of those scenarios.

Windows 7 runs 2-3% slower than XP on my netbook. Vista doesn't run at all (too slow to be usable). Is that good enough for you?

No, artificial meat invented by scientists in a laboratory, of course. Try to keep up.

Simple. Cheap. Effective.

Exactly, zero-day means a black hat found it and started using it before a white hat reported it to Microsoft.

Except that Christian time goes on for eternity...

Whistleblower writes book, makes lots of money, and possibly receives the Nobel Prize for going to a book signing...
Well, at least he would deserve it more than some people...

Do you sleep on a waterbed or something? Seriously, what is the rationale for a GFCI in a BEDroom?
No, no. You're doing it wrong. You have to make it bad, but just bad enough that the average person believes what it says.
