They absolutely do not. Trademarks do.

Various web hosting providers including GoDaddy have been known to buy hosting accounts at competitors. This is often done with a company credit card under the name of a company executive or division manager. They do it to see things like how much traffic a common application like WordPress or ZenCart can take on various price points for hosting at the competition. They may also check out customizations to the control panel software and choose which features they may want to implement for their customers, too. This is often not even frowned upon by the target company. It's an endorsement that you're of interest to the competition for one thing.

Figuring out how your performance compares to the competition is quite different from being able to improve your own performance without killing your margin. That said, with something as easily monitored as a server account any attempts to poke around under the hood too much are easier to stop than in hardware like Juniper/Cisco.

It will never happen, but it'd be cool for them to come to market with something really revolutionary and launch with the end of "Guerrilla Radio". HP strikes me as quite too stodgy for this.

As far as band names go, there are also Machine Gun Kelly, Florence and the Machine, Machinehead, Ghost in the Machine, The Suicide Machines, and Miami Sound Machine not including lots of drum and bass acts. I think a lyric or song title about machines would be more likely. It's all probably moot, because they won't market it under the lab's code name.

Oddly enough I've never seen a taco pizza at a Taco Hut/Pizza Bell. It's usually a Pizza Hut Express that serves only cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and supreme along with breadsticks. Generally the pizzas are only "personal" size, too. The Taco Bell OTOH tends to have a full menu. I've also seen other Yum! Brands combinations, including a KFC/Pizza Hut ("Kentucky Fried Pizza") and a Pizza Hut/A&W.

If you're not getting the speed you pay for, try another modem. I get more bandwidth than I pay for most of the time. Comcast is aware of this and says they don't care because they have plenty of backhaul built in my area. I switched out the cheap Ubee for $8/month for a Zoom Telephonics modem rated at 343 Mbps. I pay for 50 Mbps and often download from services like Steam or Origin at around 8 MBps average for 200 or 300 MB at a time.

The problem with "essential apps like navigation and music" being hidden in an overly complex control set is that navigation and music are neither one essential to drive a car. Windshield wipers, heater, defroster, and in some places air conditioning are the next most essential things to control after the throttle, brake, steering, and shifter. Mirrors, seats, steering column angle, and steering column length aren't even necessary to adjust during driving. They can and generally should be adjusted while stopped. Until pretty recently in the history of cars very few had adjustable steering columns.

Here's to wishing more people would learn to use the damned turn signals, the currently most common version of which Buick introduced in 1940 FFS.

Something does not add up. How is there a new vulnerability that's been in the source for sixteen years? How are older versions of the server code not vulnerable if it's sixteen years old?

How is it adding entropy to the pool if you keep using the same private key as one of the inputs?

In Springfield, Illinois for example the electric and water are both handled by City Water, Light, and Power which is a non-profit company owned by the city. They actually have deals with smaller cities and towns to sell them electricity. Those rates are less than some of the private companies were charging, but higher than those paid by city residents. The other deals are actually used to offset costs for the residents' utility provision, keeping their rates even lower.

Sewer is a utility. Show me a commercially operated one in the US. Just one.

In Houston, not exactly a small city, the power lines are provided by Centerpoint Energy. Centerpoint is a publicly traded private sector business. The electricity is sold by myriad companies at various prices on various plans. Those companies then pay Centerpoint for the use of the lines Centerpoint builds and maintains.

The natural monopoly of the wires is maintained, but the billed service need not also be a monopoly.

A steel-frame pyramid in a desert has three advantages over a mountain. First, the chimney effect is better when there's more air heated. Second, it gets hot in deserts and there's a lot of sun, vs. snow-covered and cloud-draped mountains. Third, heavy precipitation and forests don't cover deserts and serve the surrounding areas with abundant water and oxygen.

Release the boxes without controllers this year then release a deluxe edition with controllers next year. I have a keyboard, mouse, and a gamepad all of which speak USB just fine. Mark up the controllers and sell them separately, too, if they are so much better.

Maybe it's a dumb mouse never quite finding the source of the pheremone trail it's following.

Are they using florescent lamps? I thought I read somewhere they were using LEDs. LEDs typically contain no mercury.

The actual Fujitsu link is almost a year old original press release and has about as much information.

I'm not sure where I got the LED reference from, though, as looking back I don't see it in either the release or the article. Maybe I skimmed it in a previous comment.
