for the same price that they currently pay for a guaranteed download speed of 100 megabits per second

The 100 megabit figure is what they currently have, not the new network.

The summary is right, but the subject (gigabyte vs gigabit) is wrong.

This was revealed many places a while back. Dragorn of Kismet covered it back in 2010:

But they're creating that now anyway. Channels like History, Discovery and TLC have moved from their original focus to reality TV garbage.

If people really paid per channel then a channel would be much less likely to drastically change their content type in favor of another (since the former customers would likely drop the channel much quicker then they could get new customers).

Its rarely about just opening an email. Its about opening attachments in that email, or opening links that lead to sites with malware. There have been enough vulnerabilities (OS, Adobe, Java, etc.) that have been around which don't require any special privileges. Just a user to click through warning prompts.

It cannot be solely IT's responsibility - especially in this day of BYOD (Bring your own device). IT isn't always able to remove admin privileges from corporate/organization owned computers - much less the Sales guy's personal laptop.

There are a growing number of states where the Democratic legislature has passed gay marriage - most notably New York.

California on the other hand had it banned via a proposition.

So, in other words, it's not that different than the winter storms we regularly get out here in the Montana, Nebraska, North/South Dakota, Minnesota regions of the country where we'll have 2-4 days of gale force winds, blowing ice and/or snow, zero visibility, and 15' drifts at regular intervals? You know, the ones we'll sometimes have 2-3 times a winter.

New York City alone has almost as many people as the states you mentioned. Then add the rest of New York State, the entire eastern seaboard, parts of Canada, etc due to the massive size of this storm and you get probably 6 to 10 times the population of the states you mention. And you wonder why people make a big deal about it?

An interesting study shows how the cross-bronx expressway was almost instrumental in destroying the vibrant pre-war south bronx neighborhoods.

The Cross-Bronx is also instrumental in destroying my will to live when driving on it. Thankfully I'm rarely near there and know ways around it but if that's not the worst highway in NY, I don't want to know what is.

If they patch existing games to not use this as well, I may consider purchasing one (Heroes 6). I've held off on this purchase specifically because of this.

Exactly! Just look at how well our current regulations work in the oil, auto, loan, and investment industries to understand why intense regulation is the key to success!

You mention auto regulation. Not sure why. Cars are much safer than they have ever been, fuel efficiency is better than ever (and will continue to increase due to regulation). Cars have not increased at a faster pace then inflation. They properly regulated auto manufacturing industry is a perfect example of how things SHOULD be done.

So we have WiFi Police, and Brand Police (to protect what is really important, sponsors and their branding, even from those ungrateful unpaid athletes).

But there was a shortage in real security. Nice to see what the priorities really were for the IOC.

Though I think it is helpful when the parents know and can help the children, its more than that. Parents who help and encourage their children and create an environment where their children can succeed is more important than anything.

You can have parents who have very little formal education who can truly be great parents and can help their children do what they didn't/couldn't.
