You fail to account for how slow SD cards are so that they need to be powered longer to extract data off them.
Every so often, this argument is brought up. What universe do you live in where the wireless interface is faster than the local storage? MicroSDHC cards read at 832Mb/s (104MB/s = 832Mb/s). 4G LTE tops out at 300Mb/s (wiki). And that's optimal speed, not accounting for latency. On my personal mobile device, playing a 5 minute song from Amazon's cloud service takes 1-2 minutes to buffer and then keeps the radio going the rest of the 5 minute song. From local storage, that song would load into working memory in less than a second.
Regardless of the net energy usage, the propagation of cloud services for things that could very easily be handled locally is completely insane.
Or spend less time on Facebook.
Oy! Rule #1 regarding the harmonic space toads is that we don't talk about the harmonic space toads.
Are you implying that Fusty is an APK sockpuppet?
Interesting theory. Please elaborate.
For that matter, who in their right mind gives their dog pork chop bones? Even if there's no meat left on them, they're great for making soup.
CAs normally issue certs with 1-year validity. As they may not expire later than 2015-11-01, CAs will mostly stop issuing them on 2014-11-01. I guess you could ask them to cut a cert with a special, shorter lifetime but that would be hassle (and therefore extra cost).
Although the attempt showed character.
Which leads us to... oh dear, pretty much where we are right now. Because there's no such thing as "free for the taking"; everything costs something to someone, somewhere.
The notion that at things can be taken from nature without any cost is (IMO) the central and fatal flaw underlying unbridled capitalism. See David Harvey, The Enigma of Capital.
Who out there advocates such a thing, except at a dorm room bull session after four bong hits?
Only four? A lightweight, obviously.
We have always been at war with Eastasia!
Push the button, Frank.
Thanks for sharing... I think...
